The leader of Taiwan’s largest opposition party, ?the Kuomintang (KMT), has accepted an invitation from Chinese leader Xi Jinping to visit China in April, a visit that would come about a month before a planned trip to Beijing by U.S. President Donald Trump.
“The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and General-Secretary Xi Jinping have invited KMT Chairwoman Cheng Li-wun to lead a delegation on a visit to the mainland,” the KMT said Monday, adding that Cheng had “expressed her gratitude for the invitation” and had “gladly accepted it.”
China’s official Xinhua News Agency also confirmed the invitation to Cheng “to visit the Chinese mainland from April 7 to 12.”
