Cheng Li-wun, 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 Taiwan, Cheng said at a press conference in Taipei.

A CGTN stringer took to the streets in China's Taiwan region to ask local residents of different ages and professions for their views on Cheng's visit. Interviewees expressed hopes for improved communication and lasting peace across the strait, believing a stable environment would benefit livelihoods and development.
