“It was for building a ‘bridge for peace’ for dialogue between the two sides of the Strait,” Ma said of the meeting. Former president Ma Ying-jeou yesterday speaks at a Ma Ying-jeou Foundation forum in Taipei marking the fifth anniversary of his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. I was the one who built up this ‘bridge for peace,’ in the hopes of guiding future leaders on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to walk along the ‘boulevard of peace,’” Ma said. “I implore Tsai, if she cannot present an alternative policy, then she should accept the ‘1992 consensus,’ which can lead to negotiations for peace with China, and Taiwanese can live in peace,” he said. In his address, Ma also called on China to stop military provocations against Taiwan with Chinese military aircraft incursions.
