Because of historical reasons, Mainland China and Taiwan have gone from enmity, to an easing of tensions, then to joint development. I think this is also in line with the times and an inevitable result of history.

其实在近几年，大陆和台湾在民间上的交流已经日趋频繁，不管是经济上的，文化上的，还是民间各种团体间的交流，取得了不错的效果。

虽然说两岸因为历史和政治体制的原因，还会出现这样那样不和谐的声音，但总体来说，在马英九上台的这几年中，台湾和大陆保持了较好的和平发展的状态。

Although, due to reasons relating to history and the political system, dissenting voices can still be heard on both sides of the strait, overall, during the years since Ma Ying-jeou took office, Taiwan and Mainland China have maintained a state of reasonably good peaceful development.

两岸的交流与合作，让台湾可以依托大陆巨大的市场，走出经济疲软的颓势，而大陆则可以在双方的交流中，学习更加先进科学的制度，提升人文素质修养。

Exchange and cooperation across the strait has made Taiwan dependent upon the massive Chinese market and rise out of sluggish economic decline, while China was able to learn about more advanced scientific systems and to raise its level of cultural cultivation through cross-strait exchange.

在我看来，习近平是一个务实的领导人，他在主政之后大力推行反腐工作，赢得了人民的支持。马英九作为台湾的领导人，则更带有一股文人书生气质，儒雅且风度翩翩。

In my view, Xi Jinping is a very practical leader. After coming to power he made a big effort to launch an anti-corruption movement, winning the support of the people. Ma Ying-jeou, as the leader of Taiwan, has a scholarly air to him and a certain scholarly elegance.

The Greater Bay Area is centered around the Pearl River Estuary, facing inland China and the South China Sea, linked to international transportation routes and an economic region closest to the Maritime Silk Road. The development of the area should also act as a catalyst for China’s Belt and Road Initiative - it is a strategic development that aims to link the economies along the Silk Road Economic Belt (Central Asia to Europe) and the Maritime Silk Road (South Asia to Africa and the Middle East) together.
