History of Taiwan & Mainland China

Both sides of the Taiwan Strait are the territory of the Republic of China and carry the history of the Republic of China.

After the Eight Years of the Second Sino-Japanese War, a full-scale war broke out between the Kuomintang Party and the Chinese Communist Party (as known as C.C.P.). Due to repeated defeats in the war, the central government of the R.O.C. (controlled by the Kuomintang at that time) almost lost control of all the mainland China.

Therefore, in December 1949, the government was forced to move to Taipei City, Taiwan, and the effective scope of its jurisdiction was greatly reduced, limited to Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu, Diaoyutai Islands (as known as Senkaku Islands), Pratas Island & Spratly Islands in South China Sea.

In October of the same year, the C.C.P. announced the establishment of "New China" in Beijing, ushering in more than 70 years of division and rule across the Taiwan Strait.

In recent years, the Chinese Communist government has been trying to seize the last free Chinese territory, Taiwan. After years of hard work by the government of the Republic of China and all the people, Taiwan has won such a precious and hard-won free, open, and democratic society. We must defend and protect this land and prevent it from falling into a closed society under the totalitarian rule of the C.C.P.

About 1.4 billion mainland Chinese residents live under the control of a totalitarian government. Only a few people have power, while other people suffer deeply, are unable to resist, and cannot truly enjoy freedom of speech. The Chinese Communist government has long suppressed democratic movements and violated people's basic rights. 

We hope that all forces opposed to the Communist regime can unite to revive the Republic of China and restore democracy and freedom to China.
