Dai Chung

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dai Chung (戴忠) , a Taiwanese resident, self-proclaimed a "Taiwan Province branch" of the Communist Party of China without applying for official status as a political party and without any support or interest from the Communist Party of China. He stage a minor political protest following the 2000 Taiwanese elections. The party has operated since 2000 despite opposition from the Republic of China (Taiwan) government.

He was born in Taiwan but is a waisheng ren of Hunanese descent. The ROC government has made numerous attempts to disband his organization. the Taiwanese Communist Party was active from 1928-1945 in resisting Japan, and 1945-1949 in resisting the KMT but was crushed after the KMT fled the mainland. Numerous attempts to restore the party were foiled in the 1990s due to clauses in the constitution. After the lifting of martial law in 1987, attempts have been made to re-establish a legal party of the same name. However, these applications to the ROC Ministry of the Interior have been rejected on the grounds that Article 2 of the Civic Organization Law forbids civic organizations and activities from promoting communism.

"Its wrong to say that if I love the mainland so much, I should move there. If I do that, Taiwan will only be left with independence supporters" -Dai Chung
