Summary:
Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping met with Cheng Li-wun, chairwoman of Taiwan’s main opposition party, the Kuomintang (KMT), in Beijing for the first time in nearly a decade.

The meeting occurred amid a dispute in Taiwan over a proposed $40 billion defense budget that the opposition coalition is blocking. Taiwan’s democratically elected government, led by President Lai Ching-te of the Democratic Progressive Party, was not involved in the meeting, and Beijing continues to refuse direct talks with it.

Scripture: Proverbs 21:30-31 (NASB 1977)
"There is no wisdom and no understanding And no counsel against the LORD. The horse is prepared for the day of battle, But victory belongs to the LORD."
Commentary:
Powerful leaders can sit in Beijing and speak in absolutes, but Scripture is blunt: counsel cannot outrun the Lord. It’s real-world politics—meetings happen without the elected government at the table, and people feel the strain when defense budgets become bargaining chips. One side prepares; another blocks. Prophetic patterns in Scripture include rising claims of sovereignty and shifting alliances that pressure smaller nations. Stay sober and clear-eyed, knowing human strategy is limited.
Prophetic Trend:
Great-power diplomacy and internal political leverage are tightening around contested territories, reflecting the widening pattern of pressured governance and hardening alliances.

He said the "rejuvenation of the Chinese nation" was a "broader trend" that will not change. China’s state-controlled media and government officials often repeat these party lines, even though, after its establishment in 1949, the communist regime has not ruled Taiwan for a single day.The two met in their capacities as heads of their respective political parties. China refuses to speak to the democratically elected government of Taiwan, led by President Lai Ching-te of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). The DPP won Taiwan’s presidential elections in 2016, 2020, and 2024, although in 2024 it narrowly lost control of the parliament to an oppositi...
