A historic moment about China and Taiwan will take place today, Saturday, November 7th. Chinese president Xi Jinping and Taiwan president Ma Ying-Jeou will meet for discussions in Singapore. It is the first top leaders meeting to take place between China and Taiwan since the end of the Chinese civil war in 1949. Taiwan is just 180 km from China but they have been in bad relation for a long time. China considers Taiwan as part of it so never think it as a nation. Only 22 foreign governments accept Taiwan as a country.
The meeting between the two leaders is a milestone to repair decades-old divisions. It could pave the way for future meetings. The two parties have decided not to use "president" to call each other. Instead, they will use the word "mister". Further, the two leaders will not reach any agreements. Neither will they announce any joint statements. A Chinese official said the meeting is to, "exchange views on the peaceful development of [our] relations". A spokesman for Mr Ma said , " the talks aim to make relations stronger between the two sides and keep the status quo".
