Xi's meeting with Ma injects positive energy to relations across Taiwan Strait

China Daily  

Ma Ying-jeou, former chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang party, is greeted on Monday at an airport in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, after his arrival. The recent meeting of Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, with a Taiwan delegation led by Ma Ying-jeou has injected stability and positive energy into the relations across the Taiwan Strait. Xi's speech, filled with deep affection and goodwill towards Taiwan compatriots, will surely further unite compatriots on both sides of the Strait to achieve national reunification. Compatriots across the Taiwan Strait should join hands to create a bright future of peaceful reunification, firmly holding the destiny of the Chinese nation in their own hands. Recognizing the pivotal role of youth in advancing cross-Strait relations, the mainland will implement more vigorous policies and measures to facilitate the sound development and success of youth across the Taiwan Strait.
