Often overused, the word “historic” richly applies to the upcoming meeting between Xi Jinping, China’s president, and Ma Ying-jeou, his Taiwanese counterpart. The last time leaders of China’s communist party and the nationalist Kuomintang met was in 1945 when Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek failed to bridge their differences at the end of the second world war. The two have been embroiled ever since in a war of words, and occasionally gunfire, across the Taiwan Strait to which the KMT fled after the communist revolution of 1949.
