DPP's Frank Hsieh visits China

* Former premier and chairman of Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) , Frank Hsieh, accepted an invitation from the International Bartender Association (IBA) to visit China during October 4-8. Hsieh will first visit the City of Xiamen in Fujian Province before departing for Beijing on October 5.

* Hsieh's trip could mark the beginning of substantive changes in DPP's China policy. Though institutional relationship between the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the DPP remains unlikely, there will likely be more visits and exchanges after China completes its once-in-a-decade transfer of power in spring 2013.
