Cheng Li-wun, the chairperson of the Chinese Kuomintang (KMT) party, will lead a delegation to visit the Chinese mainland from April 7 to 12, with stops in Jiangsu, Shanghai, and Beijing. The visit is in line with mainstream public opinion in the Taiwan region, Cheng said at a press conference in Taipei.

CGTN stringer took to the streets in Taiwan to hear what the local residents of different ages and professions think about Cheng's visit. A resident surnamed Wen told CGTN that she "would love to see" this visit, because she thinks neither side of the strait can benefit from constant opposition. She also expressed hope that economic and tourism cooperation across the strait can be enhanced in the future. "I want to visit the Chinese mainland," she said.
