Quick Glance: Twin City Forum: A Crucial Test for Taiwan-China Relations

- The forum serves as a key indicator of political willingness for dialogue and cooperation, although Beijing has ceased formal talks with Taiwan's government since 2016.
- If the forum does not occur this year, it would signal a decline in political engagement from both sides.
