At the Xiangshan Forum in Beijing, Taiwanese political scientist Chang Ya-chung suggested that a formal peace agreement should precede any discussions about reunification between Taiwan and China to ensure mutual trust. He argued that such an agreement would allow both sides to negotiate future political arrangements on equal terms, addressing concerns among the Taiwanese public who are skeptical of China's "one country, two systems" model applied in Hong Kong and Macau. Chang emphasized during the forum that for reunification to be accepted by Taiwan, it must involve genuine dialogue rather than one-sided proposals from a more powerful side.
