Taiwan’s Tamkang University scholar Zhang Wuyue that issue with the deepening of cross-strait relations, have entered a “not for ‘Chen Jiang will’ and ‘Chen Jiang will’” era, but “Chen Jiang would” cross the international community to determine the indicators, Although the two sides reached a consensus yet on the insurance agreement, the leaders of ARATS and the SEF held talks remain significant.
