| | Taiwan independence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | This is the opinion, historically, put forward by such pro-independence groups on Taiwan as the tang wai movement (which later grew into the Democratic Progressive Party), which argue that the ROC under Kuomintang has been in the past a "foreign regime" forcibly imposed on Taiwan. | | | Taiwan independence has been some of the motivation behind the Taiwanese localization movement. | | | Many supporters of independence for Taiwan view the history of Taiwan since the 1600s as a continuous struggle for independence and use it as an inspiration for the current political movement. |

| | Taiwan Independence R.I.P. |
| | Taiwan "independence" ideologues neglected the ROC economy, because its devotees among the left of center DPP and TAIP have never really believed their own high-minded rhetoric about why they were demanding independence. | | | Taiwan independence was the triumph of petty tribalist politics over economics. | | | Instead Taiwan independence was motivated by anti-Chinese race hatred rooted in the Stockholm Syndrome. |

| | Taiwan Independence |
| | The government on Taiwan is a multi party democracy, with freedoms of press, speech, religion, enterprise, and so on. | | | This should be true regardless of the PRC's claim to the island, and regardless of whether or not the people of Taiwan democratically decide to become a Chinese Province or if they decide to continue their current status as a sovereign and independent nation. | | | The Taiwanese have never once been a part of the People's Republic of China and there is little interest among the Taiwanese in joining the communist Mainland. |

| | In 1949, the Kuomintang (Nationalist Party or KMT), which at the time controlled the government of the ROC, retreated to Taiwan after continued military defeats at the hands of the Communist Party of China drove it from most parts of the mainland. | | | Taiwan Province can refer to an existing administrative division under the government of the Republic of China or the claimed 23rd province of the People's Republic of China. | | | Initially, the United States abandoned the KMT and expected that Taiwan would fall to the Communists. |

| | The Strait Scoop by Bevin Chu |
| | The problem is that the 2-28 Incident should be commemorated NOT by the Taiwan independence victimologists, but by the surviving family members of "mainlanders." Mainlanders, not "Taiwanese" were the primary victims of the 2-28 Incident. | | | Once their corpses were dumped into the Tamsui River and floated out into the Taiwan Straits that was the end of it. | | | Namely that the remaining alleged 8,000, or 18,000, or 28,000 victims were mainlanders, many of whom were unmarried laborers from Fujian, without relatives in Taiwan. |

He insists that "Taiwan people have the right to say loudly that they oppose missiles and are for democracy." | | | It was the first meeting between Nationalist and Communist Party leaders since 1949, when the defeated Nationalists retreated to Taiwan. |

| | Taiwan Vote May Boost Independence (washingtonpost.com) |
| | But running through the plans is an underlying desire to move as fast as the international atmosphere allows toward formal independence, matching what officials already describe as de facto independence and a growing sense of national identity among Taiwan's 23 million people. | | | But they appear likely to significantly increase their representation, analysts from both camps said, probably enough to cobble together working majorities by enlisting independents and defecting Nationalists -- and in any case winning another democratic endorsement of Chen's stand. | | | Special correspondent Tim Culpan contributed to this report. |

| | Less than a quarter of Taiwan's electorate went to the polls, despite a highly visible campaign in recent weeks. | | | This might could finally "right" what China believes are hundreds of years of "wrongs" at the hands of foreign powers; mainland China views Taiwan as a central cog in regaining its wounded pride. | | | With his political adversaries seeking to build relationships with rival China, Chen had been under rising pressure to find ways to break the ice with Beijing, which refuses to deal with him or his government because of their independence stance. |
