I hope that amidst the complex regional situation, both sides can reopen communication channels, promote mutual trust, and take a more proactive approach to thawing relations. The more misunderstandings and tensions exist, the more necessary it is to have platforms for dialogue and individuals willing to take the first step. This exchange has shown me that there are still many shared forces on both sides of the Taiwan Strait who desire peace and stability, and I look forward to promoting more positive interactions in a rational and pragmatic manner in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"2891\" src=\"https:\/\/raypoon.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/events-images\/631146288_10173821789675357_1461535586274816375_n-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/raypoon.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/events-images\/631146288_10173821789675357_1461535586274816375_n-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/raypoon.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/events-images\/631146288_10173821789675357_1461535586274816375_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/raypoon.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/events-images\/631146288_10173821789675357_1461535586274816375_n-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/raypoon.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/events-images\/631146288_10173821789675357_1461535586274816375_n-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/raypoon.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/events-images\/631146288_10173821789675357_1461535586274816375_n.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"2889\" src=\"https:\/\/raypoon.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/events-images\/629596061_10173795236925357_2547100145476990459_n-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/raypoon.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/events-images\/629596061_10173795236925357_2547100145476990459_n-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/raypoon.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/events-images\/629596061_10173795236925357_2547100145476990459_n-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/raypoon.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/events-images\/629596061_10173795236925357_2547100145476990459_n-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/raypoon.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/events-images\/629596061_10173795236925357_2547100145476990459_n.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I visited Taiwan as part of the International Association of Chinese Traders delegation, coinciding with the resumption of the KMT-CPC Think Tank Forum this week after a nine-year hiatus.
