In reply, Cheng Li-wun remarked that they would “collaboratively initiate the project to restore Chinese civilization.” She guaranteed that “the communities residing on either side of the Strait will honor one another and progress toward one another.”

Cheng Li-wun arrived to mainland China earlier this week and toured various cities, including Nanjing.
