The chair of Taiwan's opposition party Kuomintang, or KMT, Cheng Li-wun, met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, where Xi pushed for the party to uphold its Chinese identity and support the "One China" principle, but he also welcomed Taiwanese agricultural and fishery imports, Xinhua reported on April 10. In her press conference afterward, Cheng pressed for the Taiwanese government to institutionalize cross-strait ties, maintain peace and stability based on the One China principle, seek Taiwan's engagement in international bodies like Interpol, and cooperate with China on energy security and artificial intelligence.

This marks the first meeting between a KMT chair and a Chinese president in 10 years. Cheng's rhetoric on One China is standard KMT policy, but it is also deeply unpopular among Taiwanese citizens, which will pressure her to avoid ceding Taiwan's sovereignty in her pursuit of economic and diplomatic engagement.
