Taiwan opposition leader Cheng Li-wun visits China calling it a journey for peace
Kuomintang party chairwoman Cheng Li-wun arrived in China on Tuesday for the first visit by a Taiwanese opposition leader in a decade, calling it a journey for peace. She laid a wreath at Sun Yat-sen's mausoleum in Nanjing and hopes to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping. The visit comes amid heightened cross-strait tensions and as Taiwan's opposition-controlled parliament has stalled a $40 billion defense spending increase.
