Former Taiwanese President Ma Ying-Jeou will make a landmark visit to China next week — the first such trip by a former Taiwanese leader since the end of the Chinese civil war in 1949.

Ma, a senior member of the opposition Kuomintang party who served as Taiwan's president between 2008 and 2016, promoted stronger economic ties between the self-ruled island and Beijing.

The cross-strait relations sharply deteriorated after the nationalist Democratic Progressive Party took power in 2016, which emphasized Taiwan's sovereignty and bolstered its ties with Washington.From March 27 to April 7, Ma will lead a delegation of Taiwanese academics and students for a visit to several southern Chinese cities, including Nanjing, Wuhan, Changsha, Shanghai and Chongqing, where the youth will interact with their Chinese counterparts, Hsiao said.

Ma will also pay respects to his ancestors in Hunan province ahead of Tomb Sweeping Day on April 5, Hsiao added.

Hsiao said the overlap is a coincidence since Ma had already planned his trip ahead of the Lunar New Year and wasn't aware of Tsai's itinerary.Ma had notified Tsai of his plans and it hoped that as a former head of state, Ma "can show the value of Taiwan’s democracy and freedom and the position of equality and dignity in cross-strait exchanges.”

Former Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou to make historic visit to mainland China | CNNTaiwan's former President Ma Ying-jeou will visit mainland China next week, the first such trip by a former Taiwanese leader since the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949. Symbolism of Ma Ying-jeou’s further betrayal to Taiwanese people. Like the rest of KMT, he can’t wait to kiss up to Communist China and sell out democratic Taiwan. He will share Taiwan’s national interests in exchange of his family’s gains in China. 馬英九 中國國民黨 賣國賊 Careful, china is a scum country and may try to ransom him
