Ma Ying-Jeou has just sworn in as the 4th elected president of Taiwan (Republic of China). Before and throughout the election campaign, Ma has vowed to establish more communication between the government in Taiwan and mainland China (People's Republic of China).

The same tone has been preached by Chinese president Hu Jin-Tao, who actually met the vice-president-elect last week in a non-political setting. The signs are somewhat promising that the two would eliminate the confrontational approach the Ma's predecessor, Chen Shui-Bian, has established.

That said, the two are still at odds over some fundamental issues, and these issues may well prevent an official meeting of the two. With that in mind, do you think the two leaders will meet in 2008, and if they do, at what capacity?
