Ma’s office said no arrangements have been made for her to travel to Beijing. Not only this, Ma has no plans to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping or any other official during this visit, which is going to be held from March 27 to April 7. Ma claimed that he wanted to visit the graves of his ancestors and that he intended to meet with the Chinese students. Tsai Ing Wen may have approved Ma Ying’s visit but many in Taiwan believe that the former president’s visit to China will play a key role in Beijing’s hold on Taiwan. Ma will travel to cities such as Nanjing, Wuhan, Changsha, Chongqing and Shanghai with her four sisters and 30 students. He will meet students from Fudan, Hunan and Wuhan universities.
Taiwan’s President will go to America
Ma met Chinese President Xi Jinping in Singapore in November 2015 when he was the President of Taiwan. The Chinese government has said that it welcomes Ma’s visit and will make whatever arrangements are necessary. A spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Ministry said that it has been a tradition on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to pay respect to their ancestors during the Qingming Festival. This will help in the peaceful development of relations on both sides.
