Chinese President Xi Jinping arrives to attend the Leaders Retreat during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in Bali, Indonesia, Monday, Oct. 7, 2013. Pressure is mounting on Taiwan's weakened president to open political talks with Beijing after Jinping told a former senior Taiwanese official that the longstanding division between the sides should not be strung out indefinitely. China insists that the democratic island be brought under its control, and has threatened force to achieve that goal. The two sides split after a civil war in 1949.
