台湾现任总统蔡英文和前任总统马英九最近几乎同时出访。

马英九到大陆祭祖交流返台后称大陆行让“九二共识又活过来了”。蔡英文则反驳说，马英九的表述是1970年代的论述，这个讲法跟现在的环境有一些差距，现在的清楚的事实是：“中华民国跟中华人民共和国互不隶属。” 

 “双英”出访各有斩获。马英九受到大陆超规格的接待与礼遇。蔡英文在美国会见到了美国第三号人物、众议院议长麦卡锡。

这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与台湾政治大学外交学系主任卢业中教授详细解析“双英”出访的成绩单，以及“九二共识”是否从加护病房活过来了。

Former Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou's historic visit to China coincided with current Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen's trip to Central America and stopovers in the United States. 

Upon his return to Taiwan, Ma declared that "the 1992 Consensus is alive again", referring to the tacit agreement that there is one China with both sides having different interpretations of what this means. In response, Tsai said that Ma’s statement belongs to the 1970s and is detached from the current environment. She added, it is clear that “the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China are not affiliated with each other.” 

During his 12-day trip, Ma visited the hometown of his ancestors and held meetings with Chinese officials. It marks the first time a current or former leader of Taiwan has visited mainland China since 1949. On the other hand, Tsai met with US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. As the third-highest ranking official in the US leadership hierarchy, McCarthy is the most senior US figure to meet a Taiwanese leader on American soil in decades. 

Zaobao podcast Global Heartbeat invites the Chair of National Chengchi University Department of Diplomacy, Professor Lu Yeh-chung, to share his insights on Ma and Tsai’s recent trips, and whether the 1992 Consensus has been resuscitated.
