	Taiwan independence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Taiwan independence (Chinese: 台灣獨立, pinyin: Táiwān dúlì, Taiwanese Romanization: Tâi-oân To̍k-li̍p; abbreviated to 台獨, Táidú, Tâi-to̍k) is a political movement whose goal is primarily to create an independent and sovereign Republic of Taiwan (out of the lands currently administered by the Republic of China) that is politically, culturally, and geographically separate from China.
		Although previously no major political faction adopted this pro-status quo viewpoint, because it is a "compromise" in face of Chinese threats and American warnings against a unilateral declaration of independence, the DPP combined it with their traditional belief to form their latest official policy.
		Between 1949 and 1991, the official position of the ROC government on Taiwan was that it was the legitimate government of all of China and used this position as justification for authoritarian measures such as the refusal to vacate the seats held by delegates elected on the mainland in 1947 for the Legislative Yuan.

		The rest of Taiwan and the Penghu Islands are administered together as the Province of Taiwan.
		Because it was impossible to hold subsequent elections to represent constituencies on the mainland, representatives elected in 1947-48 held these seats "indefinitely." In June 1990, however, the Council of Grand Justices mandated the retirement, effective December 1991, of all remaining "indefinitely" elected members of the National Assembly, Legislative Yuan, and other bodies.
		This change in the political process is the result of the liberalizing trend that began in the 1980s under President Chiang Ching-kuo.

		Taiwan's two major cities, Taipei and Kaohsiung, are centrally administered municipalities.
		The politics of Taiwan is often depicted as a contest between the Pan-Green Coalition and the Pan-Blue Coalition.
		Although the Pan-Green coalition increased their seats by one and the DPP remained the largest party, because of raised hopes the election was viewed as a disaster, and President Chen resigned his post as Chairman of DPP as a result.

		Political Background--(For the status of Taiwan before the Japanese occupation, please refer to the paragraph of History And Geography through our homepage.
		Current Political Conditions--After a long struggle for freedom and democracy of opposition and some clergies from Presbyterian churches, many political reforms have been accomplished.
		The main conflicts among these three parties are the issue of Taiwan's future -- either being independent from or unified with China-- and the issue of Taiwanese identity vs. Chinese identity.

	Pacific Affairs: Politics in Taiwan: Voting for Democracy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Taiwan experienced a remarkably smooth transition from authoritarian one-party rule to an increasingly competitive democratic polity, whose "consolidation" was recently demonstrated by the routine acceptance of the victory of the candidate (Chen Shui-bian) of the longtime opposition party in the March 2000 presidential elections.
		Taiwan, consequently, should provide an excellent case study for those interested in the "third wave" of democratisation and especially for those interested in the debate over whether or not "Asian values" are compatible with democratic norms and institutions.
		In Politics in Taiwan, Shelley Rigger, the Brown Associate Professor of Political Science at Davidson College, offers an excellent analysis of Taiwan's democratisation that should be of interest both to scholars of Taiwan and to teachers looking for a text for a course in either Asian politics or comparative democracies.

	Taiwan Politics and Leadership
		Another constitutional quirk of Taiwan’s electoral system is that the presidency and the legislature are elected in different years and have different terms – a situation that both of the major political parties hope to resolve in the coming years.
		The move to abolish the Taiwan provincial government not only yanked the old rug out from under mainlander upstart James Soong, but was seen in mainlander circles as the thin-end of the wedge for making Taiwan an independent state without even a fig-leaf of a connection to China.
		What this means is that every political party spends most of its effort trying to gauge just exactly what the support is for each of its candidates at the time of the nominations, which this year came as early as March and April, although the horse-trading continues to this day.

		In 1895, Taiwan was ceded to Japan as one of the conditions of surrender in the First Sino-Japanese War.
		And finally, while political opposition to the KMT was still illegal, a group of dissident political figures banded together and on 28 September 1986 founded the Democratic Progressive Party or the DPP.

		The system in Taiwan was created when the dream of 'taking back the mainland' was alive (at least for the KMT government), and so the textbooks reflect this.
		Since Taiwan directly evolved from the RoC (and indeed has considered itself the only legitimate ruler of China since the government went into exile), it is reasonable to consider Yat-Sen to be a key figure in early Taiwanese history - his efforts led directly to development of the polity Taiwan considers itself to be.
		As for the the place of the Three Principles in Taiwan policy, while it may be "reasonable" to find their influence in ROC political philosophy, their presence is neither necessary nor logical.

		Yet the issue of Taiwan's ability to participate as an observer to the WHO should not be mingled with its political status.
		It is unfair to allow Taiwan or any country to be isolated by politics when it comes to the health and welfare of its population, any more than we can pretend that we are immune from the international spread of infectious disease.

		Understanding Taiwan: Bridging the Perception Gap By Lee Teng-hui (Foreign Affairs, November/December 1999) The sustained economic growth, unprecedented prosperity, and full democracy achieved by the Republic of China has one drawback: the speed of Taiwan's progress has outstripped prevailing perceptions of what Taiwan is and how it should fit into the global order.

		Peking Opera and Politics in Taiwan tells the peculiar story of an art caught in a sea of overtly ideological ebbs and fiows.
		Nancy Guy demonstrates the potential significance of the political environment for an art form's development, ranging from determining the smallest performative details (such as how a melody can or cannot be composed) to whether a tradition ultimately thrives or withers away.
		Nancy Guy investigates the mechanisms through which Peking Opera was perpetuated, controlled, and ultimately disempowered, and explores the artistic and political consequences of the state's involvement as its primary patron.

		The newspaper industry in Taiwan had been almost always closely linked to politics, whether it was of the 'green' or 'blue' variety Running a newspaper meant that it was impossible not to get deeply involved in politics.
		Overall, the vacuity and nihilism of Taiwan society towards political and economic discourse and the general lack of serious and logical discourse is not the responsibility of Apple Daily, but the consequence of the longstanding tradition of Taiwan media.
		An informed source who is familiar with both the political and media environments said that Apple Daily took advantage of the unique confrontation between the 'blue' and 'green' camps and ended up with increased readership by sheer luck.

		This book shows that Taiwan, unlike other countries, avoided serious economic disruption and social conflict, and arrived at its goal of multi-party competition with little blood shed.
		Nonetheless, this survey reveals that for those who imagine democracy to be the panacea for every social, economic and political ill, Taiwan's continuing struggles against corruption, isolation and division offer a cautionary lesson.
		This book is an ideal, one-stop resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of political science, particularly those interested in the international politics of China, and the Asia-Pacific.

		China tries to control Taiwan by pointing hundreds of missiles at the tiny island and threatening war whenever the Taiwanese appear to be rejecting Beijing's dream of healing a split caused by a bloody civil war five decades ago.
		But there's one exception: If Taiwan's sovereignty faces an imminent threat, the president can call a "defensive referendum." This power was crafted by the ruling party, which has warned China that Taiwan will seek a permanent split if Chinese forces attack.
		Yen Chen-shen, a political scientist at National Chengchih University in Taipei, said he believes Chen is a pragmatist -- not a fundamentalist -- on the independence issue.
