Taiwan china leaders to hold first meeting since end of civil war

I think there may be some confusion here.

Taiwan and China (officially known as the People's Republic of China) have never been at war with each other, nor have they had a civil war. Taiwan is a separate island nation that has been governed by the Republic of China (ROC) since 1949, when the Chinese Civil War ended and the Communist Party of China (CPC) took control of mainland China.

The ROC, led by Chiang Kai-shek, retreated to Taiwan and established a government there, while the CPC established the People's Republic of China on the mainland. Since then, Taiwan has maintained its own government, economy, and military, while China has claimed Taiwan as its own territory.

There have been no official meetings between the leaders of Taiwan and China since the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949. However, there have been unofficial meetings and exchanges between the two sides, including the Taiwan Strait Forum, which was established in 1993 to promote dialogue and cooperation.

In recent years, there have been increased tensions between Taiwan and China, particularly since 2016 when Tsai Ing-wen, a pro-independence candidate, was elected as the President of Taiwan. China has increased its military presence around Taiwan and has sought to isolate Taiwan diplomatically.

So, to summarize, there has been no "end of civil war" that would require a meeting between leaders of Taiwan and China. Instead, the two sides have maintained separate governments and have had limited official contact since the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949.
