Terminology in relations between China and Taiwan“Liberation of Taiwan” is a term used in the People's Republic of China to garner public opinion for cross-Strait unification with Taiwan, proposing the use of military force to achieve it.
Background
In 1956, Mao Zedong first introduced the loaded term "Liberation of Taiwan," which was construed to mean a "peaceful" way to reunify with Taiwan. Despite this the government had numerous long-term military confrontations with Taiwan. The Chinese Communist Party has set the unification of China as the most important political goal since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
In January 1979, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress issued a notice to "compatriots" in Taiwan, which posited China's reunification as the inevitable future. Since then, the People's Republic of China's policy has been changed to One country, two systems, but it has not promised to give up the use of force to conquer Taiwan. In 2019, Xi Jinping proposed peaceful reunification based on the one country, two systems program. The government of the Republic of China led by President Tsai Ing-wen rejected the proposal.
