 Passport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A passport is a formal identity document or certification issued by a national government that identifies the holder as a national of a particular state, and requests permission, in the name of the sovereign or government of the issuing country, for the bearer to be permitted to enter and pass through other countries.
The real rationale is that, in a monarchy, passports are issued in the name of the monarch to her subjects, asking foreign governments to grant the passport holders free passage, assistance, and protection.

In the parliamentary campaign, Chen has pledged to replace "China" with "Taiwan" on the Taiwanese passport and the names of state-owned businesses (Taiwan's official name is "Republic of China"), which would be seen as a declaration of independence by the mainland and cause for war.

Hu already held the positions of party chief and president, now his influence officially extends to the military.
