2014 Wang–Zhang meetings

In 2014, a series of cross-strait meetings was held between Zhang Zhijun, director of the Chinese government's Taiwan Affairs Office, and Wang Yu-chi, director of Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council.

The first meeting took place in Nanjing on 11 February 2014 when Wang visited mainland China, the very first official contact between the two governments across the Taiwan Strait after the end of Chinese Civil War in 1949. The tour of Wang and his delegates lasted from 11 to 14 February in Nanjing and Shanghai.

On 25–28 June 2014, Zhang paid a retrospective visit to Taiwan in order to rebuild ties in the aftermath of the Sunflower Movement. It was the highest PRC government official visit to Taiwan. However, due to protests which turned violent, Zhang shortened his trip by cancelling three public appearances at the last minute.
