Peace and Prosperity

I am from Taiwan. We just elected our new president this weekend!
Ending 8 years of Democratic Progressive Party rule, New President pledge to improve the economy and open ties with China.
The relationship between China and Taiwan has been an critical challenge for every Taiwan leaders. Although both countries want to cooperate in many ways, political disputes like Taiwan's sovereign status has tied the cooperation between these two countries for a long time. Although Taiwan has independent government for almost a century, emotionally, China still insist that Taiwan is one of the territory of Mainland China.
Open ties might benefit both countries in term of economy and many other ways. However, how can two parties with so different opinions work together?
Sincerely hope our new president have enough wisdom to solve the dispute and bring Taiwan to a peace and prosperity era.
