The need for Beijing and Washington to pursue “reconciliation and cooperation” and avoid war is the central message of her US trip, Taiwan ’s main opposition leaderIn San Francisco’s Chinatown on Tuesday, Cheng said China and the US should forge “a relationship of friendship and cooperation”, and that if Washington ,and Taipei worked together, they would create “fresh achievements for the peace and prosperity of the world”, according to media reports.
Cheng also held a closed-door meeting on Tuesday afternoon with scholars from Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, according to the KMT. Cheng said she hoped the first island chain, which marks the Chinese mainland’s closest seas to the wider Pacific, would “gradually transform from a front line of geopolitical contestation into a chain of peace and prosperity”, according to a KMT statement.
Cheng added that she looked forward to Taipei and Washington continuing to deepen their partnership in areas such as defence and security, supply chain resilience and international participation, according to the statement. Beijing views Taiwan as part of China to be reunited with the mainland, by force if necessary.
Most countries, including the US, do not recognise Taiwan as an independent state, but Washington opposes any attempt to change the status quo by force and is committed to supplying the island with defensive weapons.has yet to approve a US$14 billion arms package for the island, a move that risks angering Beijing. Taipei has insisted it was confident the deal would eventually be approved.
Washington has also repeatedly pressed Taipei to pass a special defence budget, but the KMT and another smaller opposition party, the Taiwan People’s Party, backed a smaller version. Cheng also said on Tuesday evening, at a banquet attended by Taiwanese-Americans, that cross-strait peace could only be realised if the KMT won back power in the 2028 leadership election.

Cheng said she needed Xi’s “unreserved sincerity and goodwill, an expression of his willingness to make the greatest effort for cross-strait peace and stability”. , she would have been merely “an opposition leader from Taiwan with no added value”. In the April meeting with Cheng, Xi urged patience on the issue of reunification and called for more cross-strait exchanges. It was the first meeting between the heads of the Communist Party and the KMT in a decade.
Days later, Beijing announced a package of 10 measures aimed at promoting exchanges with Taiwan that appeared designed to bolster Cheng politically. Cheng will arrive in Boston on Wednesday, where she is expected to hold closed-door meetings with international relations scholars at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
