According to a comprehensive report by the Straits Herald, the "Joyful Island Alliance Party," a staunchly pro-independence political party founded by Kuo Pei-hung, former chairman of Taiwan's "Formosa Television," and others, recently published an open letter to mainland China on its official website. The letter stated that it was willing to adjust its pro-independence stance under certain conditions and even "consider becoming part of the People's Republic of China," sparking heated discussions in Taiwanese political circles and online. Since the "Joyful Island Alliance" has always been considered a pro-independence group, this statement has been described by some media outlets in Taiwan as "the first domino to fall for Taiwan independence."

The "Joy Island Alliance Party" stated that if the mainland is willing to grant a legally binding commitment of "Taiwanese people governing Taiwan and a high degree of autonomy," it is willing to reconsider its stance on unification and independence under specific conditions and consider becoming part of the People's Republic of China.

Furthermore, the article also points the finger at the United States, claiming that its long-standing ambiguous policy in handling the Taiwan Strait issue is harming Taiwan and the entire East Asia region, and even describing it as an extension of "Western neo-imperialism" and "neo-militaristic order."

Public information shows that the "Joy Island Alliance Party" was founded in September 2019 and has long advocated "Taiwan independence" and proposed goals such as "independence referendum, name rectification and UN membership".

The current problem faced by political parties in Taiwan Province is: whoever supports peaceful reunification can join the Chinese government and the highest meeting in the future.

This is the heads of the Hong Kong and Macau Special Administrative Regions attending the highest meeting in Beijing in 2026.The news comes from Russia Today. The news headline is: The Chief Executives of Hong Kong and Macau of China interact at the supreme meeting, with only the Governor of Taiwan Province missing.

The Hong Kong delegation has 36 National People's Congress deputies and 190 members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference attending the meeting.

The Macau delegation has 12 National People's Congress deputies and 40 members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference attending the meeting.

It's not a consideration.

But like a greedy human being, they want a piece of cake from Mainland China progress and prestiges.

Taiwan will soon be a dead island as TSMC is out competed as IT revolution progressed.

Taiwanese is fear of being left behind.

Many of them just wake up that Taiwan can be dumped by the unpredictable mad orange man's US any time and they will end up with no bargaining chips against mainland China then. US had dumped ROC(Taiwan) twice before since WW II, Taiwanese should know better all along that Yanks are not not reliable people.

China will have no soft love left for such ultra separatist group. They are just dreaming that their party should be given power in the island when China takes over.

Not a reliable at all.

All their fake prosperity and snobbishness of today is because of the suffering of their fellow Chinese people in the mainland.

Never ever forget that.

One day, they will realize how useless they are.

What we see today, in the future will become a historical event that any Taiwanese feel so shameful to talk.

You have a deep understanding of modern Chinese history.

When the Kuomintang government retreated from mainland China, they took all the gold and most of the technical personnel.

Due to the Chinese government's tough stance, Taiwan Province of China does not need to worry about attacks from other countries. Taiwan Province of China can still enjoy a peaceful life. The preferential policies of the Chinese government towards Taiwan Province can allow Taiwan Province to develop its economy.

Take, for example, the recent attempts by Japan and the Philippines to occupy the eastern economic waters of Taiwan Province of China. The Chinese navy and Chinese coast guard dispatched fleets to the eastern part of Taiwan Province of China to carry out patrols and law enforcement tasks. Moreover, these patrols will become regular, and the fleets will ensure the safety of Taiwanese fishermen and drive away ships and aircraft from other countries.

This is the trade data between mainland China and Taiwan Province of China. Mainland China has long had a massive trade deficit. This is the result of the Chinese government adopting preferential policies towards Taiwan Province.

If there's no China, Taiwan will become a dirt poor country.

Yet, acting snobbishly like they are superior to Mainland China, without knowing from where their wealth came from.

Shameless people, shameless government.

Shameless people, shameless government.

My friend, Taiwan Province has never been a country.

Taiwan Province is a problem that arose when a political party split into two different parties, which then led to a civil war.

Taiwan Province is a part of China's territory. There is ample historical evidence, United Nations resolutions, and post-World War II legal documents that prove this.

Someone in Taiwan has proposed a feasible unification plan, but how much power does this person wield?​

Published in: Chongqing

Finally, someone in Taiwan has proposed a feasible unification plan, but how much power does this person wield?


Recently, Wang Jin-pyng, former head of Taiwan's Legislative Yuan and current chief advisor to the Kuomintang, proposed a unification plan. This plan is quite close to the general policy of mainland China to unify Taiwan. If the Taiwanese authorities adopt the proposal, peaceful unification can enter a substantive stage.


The basic principles of Wang Jin-pyng's proposed unification plan are: one country, two regions; unified defense; and unified diplomacy. The mainland will coordinate foreign affairs and station troops to safeguard security across the Taiwan Strait, while Taiwan will retain its local governance authority. The military and diplomacy will be handled by the mainland, and matters concerning people's livelihoods, trade, culture, and education will be open to negotiation.


I believe this proposal is acceptable. As long as Taiwan is recognized as part of the People's Republic of China, and as a region of China, with the mainland responsible for its foreign affairs, defense, and reunification—that's sufficient. In essence, it's a highly autonomous region within Chinese territory. Once the mainland stations troops there and assumes responsibility for defense, everything will be easy to manage.


Unfortunately, after this proposal was put forward, a spokesperson for Lai Ching-te's office stated publicly that the premise for cross-strait negotiations must be "equality between the two countries," that there is no central-local relationship, and that defense and diplomacy are inherent powers of Taiwan and cannot be used as bargaining chips. It seems the DPP authorities are firmly opposed, believing it weakens their power.


What's even more regrettable is that the Kuomintang (KMT) is currently in opposition and has no voice in Taiwan. Moreover, how many Taiwanese people will respond to the words of an advisor from an opposition party? Even if the people agree, if the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) disagrees, it's all in vain.

台湾终于有人提出可行的统一方案，但提出的人有多大的能量？

王金平提出的统一方案基本原则是，一国两区、防务统筹、外交归一。军队归大陆、外交归大陆，民生、经贸、文教诸事皆可协商。只要承认台湾属于中华人民共和国，台湾是中国的一个地区，主权中的外交、国防统一由大陆负责，这就…

On November 12, 2026, former Kuomintang (KMT) legislator Ding Shou-chung (Ting Shou-chung) and former Examination Yuan President Kuan Chung joined over 280 experts, scholars, and retired officials in Taipei to launch the "Cross-Strait Peace Initiative" Conference. Held to coincide with the 160th birth anniversary of Sun Yat-sen, the event called for avoiding military conflict, resuming cross-strait dialogue, and initiating unofficial "Track II" negotiations between Taiwan and mainland China. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Key Figures and Organizers

• Lead Organizers. Ding Shou-chung (chairman of the Taiwan Cross-Strait Development Research Foundation) and Kuan Chung spearheaded the joint petition, which gathered signatures from over 280 academics, retired military generals, former university presidents, and former government officials. [1, 2, 3]
• Notable Attendees. High-profile political figures attending the inaugural conference included former Legislative Yuan Speaker Wang Jin-pyng, former Premier Sean Chen (Chen冲), former National Security Council Secretary-General Su Chi, and former Straits Exchange Foundation Vice Chairman Chiu Chin-yi. [1, 2]

Core Pillars of the Initiative

According to Central News Agency (CNA) and China Times, Ding Shou-chung outlined four primary proposals for the platform:

• Prioritize Peace. Place the well-being of people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait first, oppose any form of armed conflict, and reduce hostility by halting mutual attacks and stigmatization. [1]
• Resume Dialogue. Re-establish continuous, peaceful communication channels and expand civilian exchanges to rebuild mutual trust. [1]
• Deepen Functional Cooperation. Create shared economic benefits and explore new industrial cooperation opportunities amid global supply chain restructuring. [1]
• Prepare for Political Negotiations. Acknowledge the historical and political realities of cross-strait division while respecting institutional differences to lay the groundwork for future political arrangements on an equal basis. [1, 2]

To advance these goals, the organizers announced plans to establish five working groups covering Taiwan Strait security and crisis prevention, economic and industrial cooperation, cultural and youth exchanges, livelihood governance, and peaceful integrated development. [1]

Political Context and Official Reactions

Organizers' Rationale.During the event, Kuan Chung stated that Taiwan's influence is diminishing amid shifting U.S.-China dynamics and argued that "only peace can protect Taiwan". Ding Shou-chung emphasized that civilian-led Track II diplomacy could pave the way for official talks, rather than relying on heavy arms purchases.

Concurrent Developments in Beijing. The Taipei conference took place on the same day Chinese President Xi Jinping addressed a Sun Yat-sen commemorative ceremony in Beijing, reiterating Beijing's call for "peaceful reunification" under the "one country, two systems" framework while warning against separatism. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

The basic principles of Wang Jin-pyng's proposed unification plan are: one country, two regions; unified defense; and unified diplomacy. The mainland will coordinate foreign affairs and station troops to safeguard security across the Taiwan Strait, while Taiwan will retain its local governance authority. The military and diplomacy will be handled by the mainland, and matters concerning people's livelihoods, trade, culture, and education will be open to negotiation.

Chinese reunification demands should include:

Beijing absorbs Taiwan debt
Taiwan no longer requires a military budget
Taiwan stays a democracy with local government and status similar to HK. apart from Chinese mainland/two regions
Taiwan under Beijing central government, similar to HK
Taiwan has 3x amount of representation in CPC than normal levels of other regions.
Taiwan stays a capitalistic country
Taiwan remains a low tax zone
Taiwan has Chinese social programs
Taiwanese not required to join military
If successful, in 30 years, HK, Macao get Taiwan special status. Taiwan Status is to grow, not be eliminated.

If Taiwan does not meet demands from China, Taiwan could be invaded when China wants with no benefits to Taiwan.
