| | Chinese reunification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Until the mid-1990s, supporters of Chinese unification on Taiwan were also bitterly opposed to the Communist Party of China. | | | Chinese (re)unification (Traditional Chinese: 中國統一; Simplified Chinese: 中国统一; Pinyin: Zhōngguó tǒngyī) is a goal of Chinese nationalism that refers to the reunification of all of "China" under a single political entity. | | | Accordingly, from the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949 until the mid-1970s the concept of unification was not the main subject of discourse between the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China; each formally envisioned a military takeover of one by the other. |

| | Modern China: Communist China |
| | China and Russia had for almost three hundred years been mortal and suspicious enemies; the common bond of proletariat revolution could not undo centuries of Russian expansion and imperialism and Chinese suspicion. | | | Paramount, however, in this list of rights was the exclusion of counterrevolutionary individuals; the Chinese bill of rights also reserved for the state the power to "reform traitors and counterrevolutionaries." That is, every Chinese citizen had the full line of legal rights and guarantees unless they disagreed with the government. | | | In order to accomplish both of these he put into practice his New Democracy or "Democratic Dictatorship." Under the Democratic Dictatorship, all four classes of society would be represented (democracy), but the government would deal with conservative or counter-revolutionaries harshly (dictatorship). |

| | The Guidelines state that China's unification must be achieved in three stages: (1) a short-term phase of exchanges and reciprocity; (2) a medium-term phase of mutual trust and cooperation and (3) a long-term phase of consultation and unification. | | | Furthermore, Beijing will not tolerate any unification formula that violates its interpretation of the "one China" principle or leads to the creation of "two Chinas" or "one China-one Taiwan." Taiwan's independence will never be tolerated. | | | Beijing now contends that "Taiwan has belonged to China since ancient times." <3> According to this interpretation, "Chinese governments of differing periods set up administrative bodies to exercise jurisdiction over Taiwan" and China always strived to "ward off foreign invaders" until the Ching government was "forced" to give Taiwan to Japan. |

| | In order to disrupt the process of unification in Korea, the Chinese commanderies established diplomatic ties with each of the peninsula's walled-town states individually. | | | In a desperate move to end the bloodshed, a secretive group of Choson court ministers, some of whom were Chinese, brutally assassinated King Ugo and formally surrendered the kingdom to China. | | | While Choson warriors successfully managed to hold off the Chinese in the north, internal dissension and chaos intensified among Choson's ruling class and the court at Wang'gom-song. |

| | According to CNN's China analyst Willy Lam, one conclusion drawn by the Chinese leadership is that with the United States bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan, there is only so much Washington could do to blunt a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. | | | While Chen's speech was designed to mollify Beijing, China analyst Willy Lam noted there was no mention in it of the "one China" principle, something Beijing insists Taiwan acknowledge. | | | But Beijing suspects Chen might use a new constitution to enshrine claims that Taiwan has become an independent nation. |

| | According to Chinese legend, Jiuli was defeated by the military unification of Huang Di (黃帝 Huángdì) and Yandi, leaders of the Huaxia (華夏 Huáxià) tribe (the ancestors of the Han Chinese) as they struggled for supremacy of the Huang He valley. | | | Although the succeeding Zhou Dynasty was Han Chinese, it's not clear which ethnic group the Shang were. | | | This is possible because the phonetic system of Chinese allows for many words to have the same pronunciation (homonymy), and because the consideration of phonetic similarity used in a character generally ignores its tone and the manner of articulation of its initial consonant (but not the place of articulation). |

Ancient Sichuan and the Unification of China is a study of the ancient Sichuan province and its importance in the unification of the Chinese state under Emperor Qin. | | | In addition, the conquest of Sichuan was plotted and decided upon in order to unify China thus expanding the borders of the Chinese state: Qin, this prototypical totalitarian state, now imposed itself upon an economically less developed country, over ethnically different people, in a climactically contrasting environment, Sichuan. | | | He relies heavily on archaeological evidence because there aren't enough written sources to provide evidence of the Shu culture. |
