Taipei mayor to visit Shanghai amid tense cross-Strait relations
Kathrin Hille in Taipei | 06:47 (GMT+1)
Taipei mayor Chiang Wan-an(蔣萬安) is to visit Shanghai for a bilateral city conference, as Taiwan and China gradually resume some exchanges after an almost complete three-year break in cross-Strait travel because of the pandemic.
Chiang, a member of the Kuomintang, Taiwan’s largest opposition party that advocates closer ties with China, will participate in the Taipei-Shanghai City Forum this year, his office said on Friday.
First held in 2010, the forum was suspended by the pandemic. Its resumption comes at a sensitive time, with China continuing its military intimidation campaign around the island and debate over cross-Strait relations heating up in Taiwan before next January’s presidential elections.
