Political status of Taiwan - LearnThis.Info Enclyclopedia However, the National Assembly has not officially changed the national borders, as this would be seen as a precursor to Taiwan independence. The PRC refuses to maintain diplomatic relations with any nation that recognizes the government in Taipei, and most nations have diplomatic relations with Beijing while maintaining offices in Taipei that are diplomatic in all but name. Poll results also tend to be extremely sensitive to how the questions are phrased and what options are given, and there is a tendency by all political parties to spin the results to support their point of view. encyclopedia.learnthis.info /p/po/political_status_of_taiwan.html   (2581 words)

The Advisory Council On Democratic & Peaceful Unification In particular, for the sake of pursuing a consistent unification policy based upon the consensus of the people, it is crucial for a supra-partisan, pan-national organization such as ACDPU to make efforts to reflect the collective wisdom of the society's diverse sectors in establishing and implementing the unification policy. In summary, ACDPU was established, as an active effort of preparation for unification, in response to the need for the establishment and implementation of a supra-partisan, pan-national unification policy by merging the powerful will and capacity for unification among the domestic and overseas Koreans through its 13,000 plus members.

Unbenanntes Dokument National unification is "the common responsibility of all Chinese people", and it is a direct corollary of the Guidelines’ first principle, that "both the mainland and Taiwan are parts of Chinese territory." A decisive aspect in terms of positive international law remains the title to China, as demonstrated by the defining role of the Guidelines for National Unification in Taiwan& meta-constitutional architecture and international design. Unification is an instrument for the establishment of "a democratic, free and equitably prosperous China," and for "safeguarding human dignity, guaranteeing fundamental human rights, and practicing the rule of law." Indeed, the fundamental idea, explicated in the Guidelines’ foreword, is to "build a new China" over the basis of democracy and freedom. www.uni-hamburg.de /Wiss/FB/10/ChinaS/ChinA/Mitarbeiter/Schaab-Hanke/Lehrveranstaltungen/SS2003/Texte/0003a007.htm   (4079 words)

Position Paper Adopted by the National Unification Council at its third meeting on February 23, 1991, and by the Executive Yuan Council (Cabinet) at its 2223rd meeting on March 14, 1991. The unification of China is meant to bring about a strong and prosperous nation with a long-lasting, bright future for its people; it is the common wish of Chinese people at home and abroad.

It was adopted by the National Assembly in Nanking on 25 December 1946, and promulgated by Chiang Kai-shek's regime on 1 January 1947. While in the second half of the 1990s, the National Assembly and the Taiwan Provincial government (also an anachronistic leftover from the ROC days) were gradually phased out, the main "Republic of China" shell, the Constitution, name, flag and anthem were left in place. www.taiwandc.org /twcom/95-no4.htm   (1262 words)

America and Taiwan, 1943-2004 So they naturally fear a national referendum that might let the people speak their minds and show how unrepresentative that body is. They fear the very concept of a referendum, of course; and of course they fear a referendum on any issue whatsoever; but mostly they fear a referendum on the issue: independence. The peace and security of the world depends on international respect for national sovereignty; respect for the United States and its democratic ideals depends on our loyalty to our allies and to our ideals of national self-determination. In elections in 1991 and 1993 for the National Assembly and the Legislative Yuan, the "holdover delegates" who represented districts in China, resigned and these parliamentary organs became representative of Taiwan only. philip.pristine.net /formosa/falick.html   (14818 words)

NATIONAL UNIFICATION NOT ONLY OPTION: DPP OFFICIAL Lan Shih-chung, director of the DPP's Taipei City Chapter, said that the establishment of the National Unification Council was aimed at soothing those who are pro-unification during the rule of the Kuomintang, the former ruling party. He said that the council should not become the burden of the DPP, and that his party has long held that the operation of the NUC should be adjusted. Both Yen and Lan said the NUC's operation should be changed to conform with the public's views, but they also added that the council should not be scrapped at the present stage. www.fas.org /news/taiwan/2000/roc-000827-prc.htm   (477 words)

TSR-About-TSR (Taipei Times, Dec. 12, 2000) Academia Sinica President Lee Yuan-tseh has urged President Chen Shui-bian to reorganize the National Unification Council (NUC). (Taipei Times, Aug. 29, 2000) Many are anxious to see if the president will chair the National Unification Council, but analysts say he will have to weigh up which is worse -- whether to accept the backlash from Beijing or face the wrath of the DPP's hardliners. (CNA, Oct. 14, 2000) Former Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) Chairman Su Chi alleged Saturday that the term "spirit of 1992" used in President Chen Shui-bian's olive branch to Beijing was invented by a foreign national, not Chen himself. www.taiwansecurity.org /TSR-OneChina-2000.htm   (3210 words)

The Lee Teng-Hui Interview -- what started this current "crisis" with Red China [Free Republic] The ROC announced the termination of the Period of National Mobilization for Suppression of the Communist Rebellion in 1991, renouncing the use of force to achieve national unification and intending to resolve difference through peaceful means. The crucial question is the Chinese mainland's overemphasis on nationalism and its failure to implement democracy. Articles 1 and 4 of the Additional Articles clearly stipulate that the members of the Legislative Yuan and the National Assembly shall be elected from the Taiwan area only. www.freerepublic.com /forum/a378e447032ec.htm   (2407 words)

Asia Times Online - News from greater China; Hong Kong and Taiwan The national goal of all Chinese is a single Chinese state under a single government that regains all territorial integrity of China. In the unconstitutional 2000 local elections on Taiwan for national offices, after losing the Guomindang, or GMD (in Taiwan known as the Kuomintang, or KMT) nomination for president to then-vice president Lien Chan, James Soong ran as an independent. The loss of PFP splinter votes was a major factor in pushing the GMD to swing toward seeking political accommodation with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and in causing the subsequent expulsion of Lee Teng-hui. www.atimes.com /atimes/China/FA31Ad04.html   (3489 words)

Columbia News ::: Nathan Says Current US-China Relations Influenced by Long Policy Clash on Taiwan Today, under current Taiwanese rule, there is a National Unification Council, the National Unification Guidelines and talk of national unification. According to Andrew J. Nathan, professor of political science at Columbia and one of the nation's leading scholars of Chinese politics, current China-U.S. relations are influenced by their long-standing clash of policies over Taiwan. While China and the United States are caught in strained diplomatic talks to determine who is at fault for the recent collision of an American navy "spy" plane and a Chinese fighter, the deeper issues may be trust and territory, if history is any indication. www.columbia.edu /cu/news/01/04/fathom.html   (1126 words)

CNN.com - Taiwan's Chen says reunion with China is possible - August 28, 2000 He said the National Unification Guidelines, a blueprint for reunification drafted by the council in 1991, are not impeccable and can be revised. Chen sidestepped the thorny issue of whether he would assume the chairmanship of the National Unification Council, the previous administration's top advisory body on reunification. The Nationalists, who fled into exile on Taiwan in 1949 after losing a civil war to the Communists, espouse reunification with a democratic China, and set up the council in 1990. archives.cnn.com /2000/ASIANOW/east/08/28/taiwan.china.reut   (685 words)

Hoover Essay in Public Policy - The Divided China Problem: Conflict Avoidance and Resolution It was during this period that President Lee established the National Unification Council (NUC) on September 21, 1990, to draft a new China policy. Backed by the National Assembly, he abolished the Temporary Articles passed in 1949 (which gave the office of the President enormous powers) and declared that the state of war between the two Chinese regimes was over. After serving nearly two years as acting president, in March 1990, the National Assembly elected Lee Teng-hui as the eighth Taiwanese president for a six-year term. www-hoover.stanford.edu /publications/epp/101/101b.html   (15163 words)

CP-170504.htm Chen also promised he would not abolish former President Lee's National Unification Council, the government's main advisory body on cross-strait issues, as well as the council's National Unification Guidelines that have functioned as the basis of our mainland policy for more than a decade. According to that pledge, President Chen promised not to declare Taiwan's independence, change the national title of the Republic of China, make efforts to include former President Lee Teng-hui's controversial "state-to-state" doctrine in the Constitution or hold a referendum on reunification versus independence. The urging by Lee and Koo, both strong supporters of Taiwan independence, have prompted a backlash petition from a group of senior leaders including human rights campaigner Bo Yang and presidential adviser Hsu Wen-pin, who urged the president to repeat the pledge for the sake of peace and stability in the region. www.taiwansecurity.org /CP/2004/CP-170504.htm   (796 words)

December Rants 12/1 - 12/15 Those national governments that have made a second career out of bashing America would see there are no consequences from doing so and thus continue; Meanwhile, our true allies who supported us would think twice about spending political capital the next time we asked them for help. In voting Wednesday, Hamas won 25 seats of the 51 on the council, Fatah took 20, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - a radical PLO faction - won five and the People's Party got the remaining seat.

BOTH SIDES OF TAIWAN STRAIT SHARE COMMON INTERESTS IN PEACEFUL TIES On whether the council for peace will replace the National Unification Council, Chen said that the president will stick to his "four noes plus one" pledge in his inauguration speech of 2000. The NUC, set up by former President Lee Teng-hui in 1990, promulgated the Guidelines for National Unification the following year.

Fathom :: The Source for Online Learning So, under Lee Teng-hui's presidency, there was a National Unification Council, the National Unification Guideline, and all this talk of national unification. But when you peeled the onion, what national unification really meant was that if, someday, mainland China became as democratic and as prosperous as Taiwan is, then that generation of leaders would talk about some kind of an arrangement. So I think those people who say China wants Taiwan because of emotional nationalism or something like that are not paying attention to realities on the ground, to why it's really important, for concrete reasons, to have control. www.fathom.com /feature/35673   (3266 words)
