One China With Respective Interpretations
One China with respective interpretations () or one China, different interpretations is one of the discourses on cross-strait relations, proposed by the Kuomintang (KMT). It originated from the Kuomintang-led Republic of China's Guidelines for National Unification Program, which argued that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are one China and two political entities, and that the ''Republic of China'' and the ''People's Republic of China'' can each express their own representation of China. "One China with respective interpretations" was not accepted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-led People's Republic of China, which considered it insufficient to reflect the spirit of "the two sides of the Taiwan Strait jointly seeking national unification" (两岸共同谋求国家统一). During the 1992 Hong Kong talks, representatives from both sides of the Taiwan Strait negotiated in the name of the private sector, and the two sides did not issue a joint declaration, but recognized thei ...

Democratic Progressive Party
The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is a centre to centre-left Taiwanese nationalist political party in Taiwan. As the dominant party in the Pan-Green Coalition, one of the two main political camps in Taiwan, the DPP is currently the ruling party in Taiwan, leading a minority government that controls the presidency and the central government. Founded in 1986 by Hsu Hsin-liang, Roger Hsieh and Lin Shui-chuan, a year prior to the end of martial law, the DPP is one of two major parties in Taiwan, the other being the Kuomintang (KMT), a Chinese nationalist party previously ruling the country as a one-party state, and its smaller allies in the Pan-Blue Coalition. It has traditionally been associated with a strong advocacy of human rights, emerging against the authoritarian White Terror that was initiated by the KMT, as well as the promotion of Taiwanese nationalism and identity. Lai Ching-te is the current chairperson of the DPP from 2023, who also serves as t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Conservatism In Taiwan
Conservatism in Taiwan is a broad political philosophy which espouses the identification of the Republic of China (ROC) government on the island of Taiwan as the legitimate ruler of all of China as opposed to the current rule of the Chinese mainland and their competing claims by the People's Republic of China (PRC). It adopted the One China policy and the 1992 Consensus as a basis for Taiwan's security and economic development, as opposed to Taiwanization and Taiwanese sovereignty. Fundamental conservative ideas are grounded in Confucian values and strands of Chinese philosophy associated with Sun Yat-sen's teachings, a large centralized government which intervenes closely in the lives of individuals on both social and economic levels, and the construction of unified Sinocentric national identity. Conservative ideology in Taiwan constitutes the character and policies of the Kuomintang (KMT) party and that of the pan-blue camp against the progressive Taiwanese nationalist Dem ...

Mutual Non-recognition Of Sovereignty And Mutual Non-denial Of Authority To Govern
"Mutual non-recognition of sovereignty and mutual non-denial of authority to govern" () is former President of the Republic of China Ma Ying-jeou's description of the relations between the Taiwan Area and Mainland China, as presented in his second inauguration speech after being re-elected in 2012. Sometimes the term special non-state-to-state relations () is used in the press for this concept, following his own statements. Ma defines the relations as a "special relationship for which the model of taterecognition under conventional international law is not applicable". This marks a departure from the views of his predecessors, former presidents Lee Teng-hui's special state-to-state relations and Chen Shui-bian's One Country on Each Side: Both defined the Republic of China (ROC) and the People's Republic of China (PRC) as states and the relationship between the two as one between two states. In Ma's view, the ROC government considers the one China as the ROC, regardless of the vi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
One Nation, Two States
One nation, two states () presuppose that China is "one country" (or "one nation") in cross-strait relations, but they want to recognize the political situation in which the government of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the government of the Republic of China (ROC) coexist. This is mainly supported by some Kuomintang politicians who oppose the PRC's one country, two systems, and it was the U.S. government that first proposed it. The People's Republic of China opposes the One nation, two states because it claims to be China's "only legitimate government" (唯一合法政府). "One nation, two states" is basically based on one China principles, so it shouldn't be confused with "Two Chinas". History In 1990, under the support of the United States, the National Unification Council, chaired by President of the Republic of China Lee Teng-hui, proposed "One nation, two states" to the People's Republic of China, but the proposal was rejected because the People's Republic of Ch ...
