The visit included a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping (\u7fd2\u8fd1\u5e73) and was followed by the announcement of 10 new cross-strait policy measures. Chinese scholars and commentators have largely interpreted the trip as evidence that <strong>party-to-party engagement remains viable<\/strong> under the so-called <strong>1992 Consensus<\/strong>.<\/p><h2>What is the broader picture?<\/h2><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chinese commentary reveals a high degree of alignment between <strong>policy messaging and academic interpretation<\/strong>, pointing to Beijing\u2019s focus on creating a structured narrative rather than allowing for a fragmented debate around Cheng\u2019s visit.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is reflected in the analysis of <strong>Liu Guoshen <\/strong>(\u5289\u570b\u6df1), director of the Cross-Strait Relations Peaceful Development Collaborative Innovation Center, who <a href=\"https:\/\/bj.crntt.com\/doc\/7_0_107181466_1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">argued<\/a> that the visit could \u201cimprove the atmosphere\u201d of cross-strait relations and facilitate renewed interaction between political actors and civil society.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, <strong>Zheng Zhenqing <\/strong>(\u912d\u632f\u6e05) of Tsinghua University <a href=\"https:\/\/bj.crntt.com\/doc\/0_0_107187181_1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">framed<\/a> the Cheng-Xi meeting and accompanying policy measures as generating <strong>\u201cpeace dividends\u201d<\/strong> rooted in political alignment and shared identity<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other scholars emphasize the political signaling dimension. <strong>Bao Chengke <\/strong>(\u5305\u627f\u67ef) of the Shanghai Institute for Taiwan Studies <a href=\"https:\/\/bj.crntt.com\/doc\/7_0_107180997_1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">highlighted<\/a> that Beijing\u2019s invitation itself demonstrated continued prioritization of engagement with actors who accept the 1992 Consensus, linking the visit explicitly to that political baseline.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, <strong>Zhang Wensheng <\/strong>(\u5f35\u6587\u751f), deputy dean and professor at Xiamen University\u2019s Taiwan Research Institute, <a href=\"https:\/\/bj.crntt.com\/doc\/7_0_107188014_1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">argued<\/a> that the visit underscored the continued viability of a <strong>non-confrontational cross-strait pathway<\/strong>, suggesting it helped consolidate political trust and create conditions for easing tensions.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taken together, these interpretations point to a strategy in which engagement is conditional \u2014 <strong>granting access and benefits only to actors who align with Beijing\u2019s political framework<\/strong>. Acceptance of the so-called 1992 Consensus functions as a <strong>gateway condition <\/strong>for any Taiwanese actor seeking to engage across the strait, enabling access to economic cooperation, exchanges, and policy benefits. This creates a layered influence approach targeting <strong>political elites, local actors, and societal constituencies<\/strong>.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The emphasis on \u201cpeace\u201d in this discourse is therefore <strong>conditional and strategic<\/strong>, not neutral. It mirrors patterns observed in Russian <strong>gray-zone strategy<\/strong>, where narratives of peace and de-escalation are used to legitimize influence operations and shape international perceptions. Russian messaging frequently <a href=\"https:\/\/euvsdisinfo.eu\/report\/russia-portrays-itself-as-a-peacemaker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">portrays<\/a> Moscow as a <strong>defender of peace<\/strong> while shifting responsibility for escalation onto others<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the contexts differ, the structural similarity is notable: In both cases, <strong>peace narratives function as tools of strategic positioning<\/strong>, allowing revisionist objectives to be pursued under a discourse of restraint.<\/p><h2>Why is it important?<\/h2><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For policymakers, the key takeaway is not the visit itself, but how it is being interpreted and operationalized within Chinese discourse. The near-uniform messaging suggests that Beijing sees renewed KMT\u2013CCP engagement as a <strong>viable pathway to reintroduce structured cross-strait dialogue<\/strong>, even in the absence of official government-to-government communication.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At a strategic level, this reflects a dual-track approach: maintaining <strong>deterrence pressure<\/strong> while simultaneously expanding <strong>political and societal entry points<\/strong> for engagement. In this sense, the visit is less an isolated event than part of a broader effort to <strong>recalibrate cross-strait dynamics through selective openness<\/strong>.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For policymakers in Taiwan and Europe, this highlights the need to assess not only actions, but also the <strong>narrative frameworks <\/strong>that enable them. The combination of <strong>political conditionality, material incentives<\/strong>, and <strong>peace-oriented messaging <\/strong>represents <strong>a sophisticated form of influence operating below the threshold of coercion<\/strong>, yet aligned with <strong>long-term strategic objectives<\/strong>.<\/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":"<p>Photo: China News Service,\u00a0\u4e2d\u56fd\u65b0\u95fb\u793e Foto: China News Service,\u00a0\u4e2d\u56fd\u65b0\u95fb\u793e What is happening?
