Taiwan's opposition leader Cheng Li-wen is meeting Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing on Tuesday. This is the first time since 2016 that a sitting opposition leader from Taiwan has traveled to meet leaders in Beijing. Cheng is often called a populist and is known for her pro-Beijing stance.
She does not rule out that Taiwan could become part of China, stating in an interview last winter that such a move would need approval from the peoples on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Beijing refuses to talk with the China-critical government in Taiwan. The Communist Party of China considers Taiwan part of China.
