Her social media post came days ahead of sitting KMT chairwoman Cheng Li-wun’s visit to mainland China at the invitation of Beijing.
In her post on Thursday, Hung said the prevailing cross-strait tensions stemmed from eroding political trust, pressure from great power rivalry and intensifying military stand-offs – likening it to a “state of cold peace.”
