 | A Chinese man holds up a banner with the words 'Lien Chan we welcome you' as the Taiwanese Nationalist Party Chairman Lien Chan, right walks by as he arrives at the airport in Xi'an, western China, Saturday, April 30, 2005. Nationalist Party Chairman Lien Chan flew to Xi'an after meeting Friday with Chinese President Hu Jintao in the highest-level encounter between the two sides since they split in 1949. They promised to jointly promote peace and economic ties _ a pledge that Taiwan's premier on Saturday suggested might be illegal. Woman on right is unidentified family member. |
