In this episode, host Carl Zha and guest Xiang Yu discuss the significance of KMT Chairwoman Cheng Li-wun’s historic mainland China visit (Nanjing → Shanghai → Beijing), the first KMT-CPC leadership meeting in a decade. They analyse the deeper political, historical, and economic layers of the trip, Taiwan’s internal politics, the role of the US and Japan, and how China’s rise reshapes cross-strait dynamics.
