习马会之歷史意义

由国民党主席马英九，率领之年青学生代表团今天下午在北京，和中共总书记习近平见面， 这是两位领袖时隔九年之后再度相遇， 具有极特殊之意义。

我们对於马习会在此两岸关係紧张而世界局势极為混乱之时期， 有着非常重要和稹极之效应， 我们更期盼海峡两岸能籍此走出一条和平之大道。

事实上， 包括美国在内的西方国家应该改变对中国大陆政府体制和人民之基本看法， 由於五千年延续不断之文化， 要改变一个像中国如此强大之国家和其体制是不可能的， 如何在异中求同之原则下， 才是世界和平之未来。

台湾在世界上之处境愈加困难， 面对政治现实和强権政治， 要如何求生存和发展才是人民追求之目标， 乌克兰战争说明了一切。

我们对於马习会是否可能带来两岸和平无法预知， 但对於马主席此次访问所表现之政治智慧表示讚扬和敬佩，至少马习会已经努力在达成目标。

战争是可怕的， 它能摧毁一切， 希望政客们三思。

The Historical Significance  Of The Ma- Xi Meeting 

A group of young students lead by  KMT former chairman Ma Ying-Jeou met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing this afternoon. This marks the reunion of the two leaders after nine years, amidst tense cross- strait relations and chaotic global circumstances. 

The hope is that this meeting will have a positive impact on cross-strait relations and world peace. The United States and western countries should consider their views on the Chinese government and its people and to seek common ground while respecting differences. Given China’s long continuous culture history of five thousand years, it is impossible to change such a powerful country and its system overnight. The key to global peace lies in seeking common ground while respecting differences. 

Today Taiwan finds itself with global attention which underscores the pursuit of survival and development under political realities and big power’s politics. We need to learn from the horrors of war from the war in Ukraine. We urge all politicians to think twice and use their wisdom.
