In this episode of Taiwan Talks, we explore the implications of Taiwan's former President Ma Ying-Jeou traveling to China and his expected meeting with China's top leader Xi Jinping. As Taiwan prepares to swear in its next president, Lai Ching-te, on May 20, we analyze whether a second meeting between Ma and Xi could alleviate cross-strait tensions.
