1. outline

The pro-Taiwanese faction is also called the pro-Taiwanese faction because it supports Taiwan . It is similar to the pro-China Republic of China , but it is also completely different.[1] However, it is not completely exclusive, and there are also classes within Taiwan that support the Republic of China = Taiwan .[2] , there are people who are pro-Taiwan and pro-Republic of China. It mainly takes the same stance as the Pangrok League and also supports the Taiwanese independence movement .

2. Cross-Strait Powers and China's Position

2.1. Supporters of the Chinese Nationalist Party and the Flood Alliance

Because they have an identity as a Chinese (Greater China) and place importance on improving and maintaining cross-strait relations with China, they basically do not like the pro-Japanese propensity that can be associated with the Taiwanese independence movement. However, in the case of the Hwadok faction within the Flood League, they have an identity as the Republic of China = Taiwan, so they are friendly to the pro-Dae faction unless they are radical independence advocates.

2.2. Supporters of the Democratic Progressive Party and Pan-Green League

Since it has an identity as Taiwan, which is separate from China, most of them are pro-Japanese.

2.3. china

What China naturally wants is for Taiwan to become pro -China, and unlike the pro-China Republic of China, which claims to be one China and recognizes it depending on the situation, pro-Taiwan is classified as a hostile force in mainland China and is highly wary of it.

Korean conservatives were more pro-Republic of China factions who liked Taiwan as the Republic of China rather than Taiwan, and very few pro -Chinese factions liked Taiwan itself. At that time, Korean conservatives had no interest in Taiwan independence or Taiwan's own identity. It just supported 'Free China'. Of course, this perception of some Korean conservatives would not have looked good in the camp that insisted on Taiwan independence .

However , since the 2010s, the pro-Great Britain faction has become more numerous than the pro-Republic of China faction.[3] Currently, it has become impossible for the Kuomintang to recover the continent, and as the anti -Chinese tendency of the Democratic Progressive Party, which pursues Taiwanese identity, has become more severe than that of the Kuomintang, which pursues the identity of the Republic of China, some conservatives in Korea and some supporters of the Democratic Party are supporting Taiwan's independence . There is a lot to see. However, when emphasizing the friendship between Korea and Taiwan, they mention Chiang Kai-shek's support for Korea when the Republic of China ruled the continent, and compared to the pro-Taiwan faction in Japan or the United States , pro-Taiwan figures in Korea are relatively more influenced by the pro-Republic of China. I have a strong tendency to burn poison .[4] Also, compared to other Western countries, there are relatively many people who are anti-Chinese, but also pro-Republic of China and pro-Republic of China , rather than pro-China .

[1] The distinction is simple. If you claim continental restoration or Taiwan as China ( China ), it is a pro -China Republic of Korea.[2] Representatively, President Tsai Ing-wen has this tendency.[3] Unless you hate the CCP regime but like Chinese culture and have a lot of knowledge about cross-strait relations , especially among the younger generation , the ratio of pro-Dae factions is higher than pro-Republic of China pro -Republic of China . This is because many Koreans born after the severance of diplomatic ties view Taiwan as Taiwan itself, not as the Republic of China. As of 2022, people in their 60s or older have heard the word 'Free China' in the news, so they naturally recognized Taiwan as China, but since the 1990s, the CCP has been called China, so Taiwan is no longer called China. In other words, in the past, calling the CCP “China” itself was perceived as pro-CCP, but now there are many anti-CCP factions who call the CCP “China.”[4] However, the pro-German faction of the Democratic Progressive Party recognizes Sun Yat-sen, the founder of the Republic of China, but views Chiang Kai-shek very negatively, calling him a fascist dictator.[5] I never visited during my current employment. This is because China, then and now, strongly opposes any visit to Taiwan by the incumbent president.[6] Later, he visited China and said that he supported the one-China principle.[7] His Chinese name is Fei Hao Yu (費浩偉).[8] It functions as the de facto US embassy in Taiwan.
