In 2012, Xi, who was then China's Vice Chairperson, visited the United States at the invitation of Vice President Biden. During the visit, Xi proposed the idea that "the vast Pacific Ocean has enough space for both China and the United States." This vision outlined the future of U.S.-China relations.
In 2022, as China's Chairperson, Xi further stated that "the vast earth is large enough to accommodate China and the United States for their respective development and common prosperity" during a meeting with U.S. President Biden in Indonesia.
On April 23, Taiwan's Vice President Lai Ching-te cited Xi’s words "He believes that the Pacific is vast enough to accommodate competition between the United States and China" at a memorial service for Koo Kwang-ming, a former Taiwanese statesman, businessman, and independence activist.
Some observers think that Lai's citation was an olive branch extended to China. While Lai may have intended to promote reconciliation with China, the appropriateness of this gesture is subject to debate. However, Lai went on to say, "The Taiwan Strait is also wide enough to accommodate the survival and development of Taiwan and China," which is controversial.
Since the Taiwan Strait is an international waterway, not only Taiwan and China can use it, but other countries can as well. Therefore, Lai's statement has sparked concerns about Taiwan's diplomatic position and its relationship with China, particularly in light of China's claims to sovereignty over Taiwan.

2012年，時任中國國家副主席習近平，應時任美國副總統拜登之邀赴美訪問，當時習拋出「寬廣的太平洋兩岸有足夠空間容納中美兩個大國」一說，擘畫美中關係的未來；2022年習近平以國家主席身份在印尼與美國總統拜登會晤，進一步提出「寬廣的地球完全容得下中美各自發展、共同繁榮」。
2023年4月23日，賴清德在辜寬敏追思大會上引述習近平的「寬廣的太平洋」論述：「他相信太平洋很大，可以容納美國與中國競爭」。
有人認為這是賴清德向中國遞出橄欖枝。假使只有這一句的話，當然有可能；是否恰當是另外一件事情。只是，賴清德又接著說「台灣海峽也很寬，可以容納台灣和中國在這裡生存發展」，鑑於台灣海峽是公海，不止台灣與中國可以利用而已，因此，賴清德之言，在政治判斷上很有問題。

引辜寬敏「兄弟之邦」！賴清德：台海很寬可容台灣中國生存發展    中廣 20230423

總統府資政、台灣制憲基金會董事長辜寬敏2月27日辭世，享耆壽97歲，家屬今天(23日)舉辦追思紀念會。副總統賴清德以台語發表致詞，援引辜寬敏「兄弟之邦」觀點，他相信太平洋很大，可以容納美國與中國競爭，台灣海峽也很寬，可以容納台灣和中國在這裡生存發展。

賴清德說辜寬敏一生有很明確的打拚目標，為台灣而存在，感謝辜寬敏一生為台灣犧牲奉獻，走完屬於自己的花道離開；他不只是為台灣民主自由犧牲奉獻，更點出兄弟之邦是兩岸相處之道、兩岸應該走的方向，為此做過很多努力，希望這個理想開花結果造福兩岸。

賴清德指出，他相信，太平洋很大，可以容納美國與中國競爭，台海也很寬，可以容納台灣和中國在這裡生存發展。最後並引述聖經，那美好的仗，已經打過了；該跑的路程，已經跑盡了；當守的信仰，已經持守了，這就是辜寬敏一生寫照。
