Seeking to assuage apprehensions about the future of cross-strait relations, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Chairperson and presidential candidate Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) yesterday reaffirmed her party’s willingness to hold talks with Beijing. Concluding a three-day visit to the Philippines, Tsai made the remarks during a breakfast meeting with reporters.
