Taiwan's newly-elected president is calling for a peace treaty with China to reduce tensions across the Taiwan strait. The president-elect, Ma Ying-jeou, says there will be no negotiations on a peace treaty while China still aims missiles at the island. But he says he hopes after economic ties are broadened, there can be discussions on a cross-strait security deal. China is yet to officially comment on his win.

Ma is not aiming for a Unity Treaty which is still in big debate in Taiwan. Will Ma's suggestion be considered by Beijing? Can Beijing recognise Taiwan's sovereign claim?
