The 2005 Pan-Blue visits to mainland China marked significant exchanges between the Kuomintang (KMT) and the Chinese Communist Party, the highest since the 1945 meeting between Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong. At the time, the Kuomintang was Taiwan's main opposition party, part of the Pan-Blue Coalition, which favored closer ties with China and opposed the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), known for its pro-independence stance. On March 28, 2005, KMT vice chairman Chiang Pin-kung led the first official delegation to China in 60 years. On April 26, KMT chairman Lien Chan followed with a peace tour, meeting Chinese leader Hu Jintao to discuss cross-strait relations and affirming the "One China principle." Lien's tour included visits to Xi'an, Nanjing, and Shanghai, highlighting historic and economic ties.
