For the first time in half a century, direct charter flights will be made possible across the Taiwan Strait during the traditional Chinese lunar New Year despite acrimony, tensions and deep-rooted suspicions from the island.

How shall we look at the landmark arrangements? Why did the Taiwanese authorities agree eventually to give the green light to an initiative first put forward by the Kuomintang? Joining us in this edition of Dialogue are Tom Hsu, Vice Chairman, Beijing Taiwan Businessmen Invested Enterprises, and Tao Wenxhao, Professor, American Studies Institute, CASS.
