====Beijing====
On May 4, 2015, Chu arrived in [[Beijing]] and met with [[Xi Jinping]], the General Secretary of the CCP.

==Controversy==
On May 4, 2015, the [[Associated Press]] reported on the Xi-Chu meeting. The report quoted Eric Chu as saying that his party supports "eventual unification".

After the KMT filed a complaint, the AP rescinded the report.<ref>{{Cite web|url =http://www.wantchinatimes.com/news-subclass-cnt.aspx?id=20150506000168&cid=1101|title =AP pulls claim of Chu's backing for unification after KMT complaint|access-date =May 9, 2015|date =May 6, 2015|publisher =Want China Times|archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20150518075345/http://www.wantchinatimes.com/news-subclass-cnt.aspx?id=20150506000168&cid=1101|archive-date =May 18, 2015|url-status = dead|df =mdy-all}}</ref>
