Separatism in Taiwan: The Taiwan Independence Movement and possible development of future Cross-Strait Relations

摘要

This paper will take the Taiwan referendum as a starting point to analyze political party replacement since Kuomintang took hold of Taiwan and propose reasons in terms of politics and social changes for Taiwan's tendency to split from mainland, and clarify misunderstandings caused by the mainland's policies toward Taiwan. From the standpoint of the mainland government, this article will demonstrate the illegality of Taiwan Independence and the legitimacy of "One China" policy, and briefly put forward the development of future cross-strait relations.
