The 2015 Ma–Xi Meeting (simplified Chinese: 马习会; traditional Chinese: 馬習會; pinyin: Mǎ Xí Huì) also known as the Xi–Ma Meeting (simplified Chinese: 习马会; traditional Chinese: 習馬會; pinyin: Xí Mǎ Huì) is a proposed meeting between President of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping and President of the Republic of China Ma Ying-jeou. Plans for the meeting were announced on 4 November 2015; it is scheduled to take place in Singapore on 7 November. The meeting would be the first between the leader of the Republic of China and People's Republic of China since the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949.^[1]

Reactions

Kuomintang described the meeting as a "milestone" in Cross-Strait relations.^[2] However, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) characterized the situation as an unacceptable "black box" decision.^[3] The DPP later released a statement, cautioning Ma to safeguard Taiwan's democratic ideals and political status. The party also called on the Ma administration to become more transparent and de-politicize relations with China.^[4]

The Chinese National Federation of Industries, Taipei Chamber of Commerce, and Allied Association for Science Park Industries, all of which are Taiwanese business organizations, expressed support for the upcoming meeting, which is expected to help improve Taiwan's economic prospects.^[5]

United States State Department spokesperson Elizabeth Trudeau stated that the U.S. expected "constructive dialogue" to occur,^[6] though no statements or agreements are expected to be announced upon the conclusion of the meeting.^[1] China expert and former National Security Council member Evan Medeiros credited the warming of relations that led to the proposed meeting to US President Barack Obama's "pivot to Asia."^[7]
