The Anti-Secession Law () is a law of the People's Republic of China, passed by the 3rd Session of the 10th National People's Congress. It was ratified on March 14, 2005, and went into effect immediately. President Hu Jintao promulgated the law with Presidential Decree No. 34.

The law does not explicitly equate " China" with the People's Republic of China (referred to in the law as "the State"). The Anti-Secession Law is the only law passed by the National People's Congress that has neither the prefix "People's Republic of China" nor "Decision/Resolution of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress."

Four-Stage Theory Of The Republic Of China
The Four-Stage Theory of the Republic of China or the Theory of the Four Stages of the Republic of China is a viewpoint proposed by Chen Shui-bian, the President of the Republic of China from 2000 to 2008, in 2005. It is a viewpoint regarding the political status of the Republic of China, whose government retreated to the island of Taiwan after the Chinese Civil War in 1949. The main idea of the theory is that the time line for the development of the Republic of China can be classified into four stages, which are: # The Republic of China ''on'' the mainland (; ), 1912–1949 # The Republic of China ''arrival to'' Taiwan (; ), 1949–1988, before Lee Teng-hui's presidency # The Republic of China ''on'' Taiwan (; ), 1988–2000, during Lee Teng-hui's presidency # The Republic of China ''is'' Taiwan (; ), 2000–now, during Chen Shui-bian's presidency [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

2005 Kuomintang Chairmanship Election
The 2005 Kuomintang chairmanship election () was held on July 16, 2005 in Taiwan between Ma Ying-jeou and Wang Jin-pyng. The election was triggered by the retirement of chairman Lien Chan. This was the second direct election of the chairman in Kuomintang history. All registered, due-paying KMT party members were eligible to vote. Previous leaders of the KMT had been elected by the party congress in a one-man race (with the candidate being either the incumbent or his designated successor). Lien ran unopposed in 2001, but his election was decided by rank and file party members. Lien retired without naming a successor, choosing to retain a direct election for the office of chairman. The election was widely seen as a preliminary contest for the party's nomination in the 2008 presidential election. Ma's landslide victory over Wang originally made him the frontrunner in the bid for the KMT presidential nomination. An indictment over corruption in 2007 damaged Ma's election hopes, but ...
