A recent meeting between Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen and U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy during Tsai's U.S. transit sparked heated debates and protests across the Taiwan Strait. The move, described as 'provocative' by critics, has reignited discussions about cross-strait relations. 🌊
In Taipei, residents interviewed by CGTN Stringer emphasized a shared vision: 'We’re all Chinese, and peaceful reunification is the ultimate goal.' Gwu Xyi-jun, a local entrepreneur, said, 'Businesses in Taiwan and the Chinese mainland thrive on cooperation—division only hurts progress.' 💼
Lu Chao-tsai, a student, added, 'Young people here want stability. Our cultural roots are the same—let’s build bridges, not walls.' 🎓 Zheng Jian-shin, a community organizer, echoed: 'Compatriots on both sides are family. Dialogue, not tension, is the way forward.' 👨👩👧👦
As cross-strait ties remain in the spotlight, many urge leaders to prioritize harmony over geopolitical games. 🕊️
