President Ma Ying-jeou\u0026#39;s Mainland China policy mitigated rivalry and hostility, but his alleged \u0026quot;pro-China\u0026quot; image gradually eroded his power base and popularity. President Tsai Ing-wen reversed President Ma\u0026#39;s Mainland China policy, and with the help of Hong Kong\u0026#39;s anti-extradition protest, President Tsai and the Democratic Progressive Party successfully built an image as the guardian of democracy and protector of Taiwan\u0026#39;s identity and dignity. The talk will conclude with a discussion on the uncharted waters facing cross-strait relations that are full of deep hostility and undercurrents of mistrust against the backdrop of unpredictable developments in the U.S.-China relations.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nLo Chih-Chiang is a member of the Taipei City Council.
