On November 7, 2015, leaders on both sides, Xi Jinping and Ma Ying-jeou held a historical meeting in Singapore, which is a landmark in cross-strait relations. This meeting created a precedent for direct communication, and opened up a new prospect for the development of cross-strait relations. President Xi pointed that both sides should seek the great rejuvenation. Ma Ying-jeou initiated that the two sides should work together to rejuvenate and create a more peaceful and better future.
