What is happening?<\/h2>

On Wednesday,\u00a0former Taiwanese president<\/strong>\u00a0Ma Ying-jeou (\u99ac\u82f1\u4e5d) \u2013 acting as a private citizen \u2013\u00a0met<\/a>\u00a0with Chinese leader Xi Jinping (\u7fd2\u8fd1\u5e73). This was the second meeting between Ma and Xi since 2015, which saw a historic first encounter between the sitting leaders of the Republic of China and the People\u2019s Republic of China.\u00a0<\/p>

The meeting coincided with Ma\u2019s\u00a0<\/strong>eleven-day trip to China<\/strong>\u00a0during which he led a group of 20 students affiliated with his Ma Ying-jeou Culture and Education Foundation. As per the foundation director Hsiao Hsu-tsen (\u856d\u65ed\u5c91),\u00a0the invitation came from Beijing<\/a>\u00a0and encompassed an itinerary featuring visits to Beijing, Guangdong, and Shaanxi. The schedule also included attending a ceremony at the mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor and academic exchanges with students from Peking and Sun Yat-sen Universities, aimed at \u201chelping Taiwanese students seek out their roots.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0<\/h2>

What is the broader picture?<\/h2>

Ma Ying-jeou is a\u00a0member of Taiwan\u2019s main opposition party, the Chinese Nationalist Party<\/strong>\u00a0(Kuomintang, KMT). He formerly served as KMT’s chairman and Taiwan’s president from 2008 until 2016. The KMT is generally regarded as the\u00a0more<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>China-friendly<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>party<\/strong>\u00a0in Taiwan,\u00a0opposing Taiwanese independence<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0favoring economic ties with China<\/strong>. However, the party\u00a0disagrees<\/a>\u00a0with China\u2019s \u201cone country, two systems\u201d model for cross-strait relations, as it implies Chinese governance over Taiwan.\u00a0<\/p>

During his presidency, Ma prioritized the\u00a0promotion of Chinese identity<\/strong>\u00a0and moved away from the ongoing process of Taiwanization. His administration also emphasized the\u00a0liberalization of cross-strait exchanges<\/strong>\u00a0by signing several agreements, including the Cross-Strait Services Trade Agreement (CSSTA), which triggered the\u00a0Sunflower Movement in Taiwan<\/strong>\u00a0due to concerns over the\u00a0lack of transparency<\/strong>\u00a0in the negotiation process. This student-led and nationwide protest remains one of Taiwan’s most significant social movements and recently commemorated its\u00a0ten-year anniversary<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>

In 2015, a\u00a0historic meeting between Ma Ying-jeou and Xi Jinping<\/strong>\u00a0(\u7fd2\u8fd1\u5e73) in Singapore marked the first encounter between leaders of both sides since 1949, symbolizing reconciliation amid long-standing tensions. However, this meeting led to\u00a0domestic debates and protests in Taiwan<\/a>, with concerns about a\u00a0potential political Trojan horse<\/strong>. Around April 2023, Ma also embarked on a 12-day trip to China. Even though he\u00a0did not meet with Xi<\/a>, it incited\u00a0pushback<\/a>\u00a0from people on both sides. Notably, Ma is the sole Taiwanese president to have met with Xi Jinping and remains the only former Taiwanese president to have visited China on multiple occasions. These actions highlight his\u00a0position on cross-strait relations<\/strong>, emphasizing a dedication to fostering closer ties with China.\u00a0<\/p>

In the lead-up to the 2024 presidential elections in Taiwan,\u00a0Ma has emerged as a contentious figure<\/strong>, drawing criticism from both citizens and his party, the KMT. His recent remarks on cross-strait relations, including assertions that\u00a0trust in Xi Jinping is necessary<\/a>, along with a call to reduce the defense budget because Taiwan\u00a0\u201ccan never win against China,<\/a>”\u00a0have fueled controversy.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/h2>

Why does it matter?<\/h2>

Beijing\u2019s invitation to Ma is important in the context of cross-strait relations. Xi has put significant\u00a0value on cross-strait youth exchanges<\/a>\u00a0in recent times as a way strengthen ties between the two sides through\u00a0soft power tactics<\/strong>. This gesture reflects Beijing’s strategic approach to engagement and signifies its concerted efforts to mold the narrative surrounding Taiwan’s identity,\u00a0aiming to steer it away from de-Sinicization.<\/a>\u00a0Furthermore, it may suggest that Beijing considers the KMT member and former president Ma to be a significant\u00a0intermediary in cross-strait relations<\/strong>. This is evident from the Chinese government’s refusal to engage with the current ruling party, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), which Beijing does not acknowledge as a legitimate governing body and often\u00a0depicts as separatist due to its advocacy for Taiwanese sovereignty.<\/a><\/p>

Finally, the timing of Ma’s trip to China and the potential meeting with Xi coincides with two notable\u00a0geopolitical events<\/strong>: the US-Japan-Philippines summit and the anniversary of the Taiwan Relations Act, which Beijing opposed back in 1979. Against the backdrop of escalating\u00a0tensions between the US and China<\/strong>, this timing carries symbolic weight, indicating the intricate interplay of interests and\u00a0strategic positioning in the Indo-Pacific region.<\/strong>\u00a0Specifically, it highlights the significance of Taiwan’s status and its relationships with key regional actors amid these dynamics.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
