Former chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang, Ma Ying-jeou, concluded a two-week visit to the Chinese mainland alongside students from Taiwan on June 27. This marks his fourth such trip since 2023 and his longest to date, highlighting an urgent need to rebuild and strengthen peaceful channels of communication and interaction across the Taiwan Strait.
During the trip, Ma and the student delegation visited the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, located in northwest Gansu Province on the Chinese mainland. There, they attended a seminar to promote traditional Chinese culture, reinforcing ties through shared heritage and dialogue.
This journey underscores a growing momentum for cross-strait ties driven by education and cultural initiatives. For young global readers, entrepreneurs, and changemakers, Ma’s visit offers a fresh perspective on how cultural diplomacy can pave the way for deeper understanding and cooperation.
