Li Peng, dean of the Taiwan Research Institute of Xiamen University, believes that the situation in the Taiwan Strait continues to decline this year.

Ji Xin, chairman of the Taiwan United Coalition Party, pointed out that if the political differences between the two sides of the strait are not resolved, the Taiwan maritime disaster will achieve lasting peace and stability.
