While the trip is ostensibly a private one, it's filled with historic symbolism and comes at a time of deepening tensions over the future of Taiwan.

Taiwan’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. Ma, a senior member of Taiwan’s Kuomintang opposition party, will be in mainland China between March 27 and April 7, his foundation said in a statement Sunday.

The KMT have lost the last two elections to the Democratic Progressive Party , which is much more skeptical toward Beijing and rejects the tacit understanding that both sides acknowledge they belong to “one China,” but with different interpretations of what that entails. China’s leader Xi Jinping has ramped up economic, diplomatic and military pressure on Taiwan ever since the DPP took power in 2016.

Careful, china is a scum country and may try to ransom him

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

U.S. leans on Honduras to rethink China switch, hopes for reprieveThe United States is trying to discourage Honduras from following through on its plan to switch diplomatic allegiance from Taiwan to China, sources close to the matter say, hoping the lack of a formal agreement yet may leave the door open for a change of heart. The ongoing U.S. diplomatic pressure comes after Honduran President Xiomara Castro said on Tuesday her country would establish formal ties with China, following up on a pledge she made in her presidential campaign in 2021. Then, in 2022, her government appeared to walk back the policy. Officials and former officials from the U.S. and several Central American countries said Castro's provisional announcement contrasted with how countries in Latin America have tended to make public shifts in alliance from China to Taiwan. 'We truly don't know whether it will be days or weeks or months,' a U.S. government official told Reuters on background. 'Is it a negotiating tactic? We don't know for sure, but we will continue to make our case.' Since 2016, when Tsai Ing-wen was elected Taiwan's president, Panama, El Salvador and most recently, Nicaragua, have changed sides. All announced the switch as a fait accompli. Biden screws up everything Fitting, Honduras does tech support for many ISPs. They have all of our data. Now China does. Suckers. Honduras is a sovereign nation. Leave them alone you degenerates.
