Taiwan independence

Taiwan independence (Chinese: 台灣獨立, pinyin: Táiwān dúlì, Taiwanese Romanization: Tâi-oân To̍k-li̍p; abbreviated to 台獨, Táidú, Tâi-to̍k) is a political movement whose goal is primarily to create an independent and sovereign Republic of Taiwan (out of the lands currently administered by the Republic of China) that is politically, culturally, and geographically separate from China.

This movement is supported by the pan-green coalition on Taiwan and opposed to different degrees by the pan-blue coalition and the People's Republic of China, which favor Chinese reunification. The movement is internationally significant because a formal declaration of independence could lead to a military confrontation not only between the People's Republic of China and Taiwan, but could also draw in other regional powers such as the United States, Japan, and Russia.
