Cheng Li-wun is chairwoman of Taiwan's main opposition party, the Kuomintang (KMT). On April 10, 2026, she met Chinese President Xi Jinping at a restaurant in Taipei, according to gdelt. The same source reported that the issue of "reunification" was not discussed during the meeting and that Cheng said there are currently no conditions to talk about reunification.

Cheng began a 15‑day trip to the United States, gdelt reported. While in the United States, she attended a closed‑door seminar at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government on Thursday, as reported by the South China Morning Post.

According to Taiwanplus.com, Cheng, as the new chair of the Kuomintang, is set to meet with officials from the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT). The meeting with AIT officials is reported by two anonymous sources, also cited by Taiwanplus.com.

The meeting occurs amid a debate between the KMT and the ruling Democratic Progressive Party over how much to spend on Taiwan’s defense, Taiwanplus.com noted, avoiding the loaded adjective "fierce." Experts say the United States has not changed its strategy toward Taiwan, Taiwanplus.com added.
