but others see it more as symbolism. In regard to Ma’s visit, PRC’s Taiwan Affairs Office also released a statement: “We will make proper arrangements for Mr. Ma Ying-jeou’s visit”.

Tsai’s final 2 mths in office is closely watched on whether she might make surprise/historic trips. There’re previous speculations on visiting Europe, but VP-elect @bikhim just toured Czech, Poland, Lithuania & Brussels, seemingly taking on the baton fr this administration./END
