==Legal basis==
===People’s Republic of China===
The 1931 constitution of the Chinese Communist Party accepted succession as legal with article 14 stating “The Soviet government of China recognizes the right of self-determination of the national minorities in China, their right to complete separation from China, and to the formation of an independent state for each national minority.” However the CCP’s change from a revolutionary group to the dominant state power in 1949 led to this language being left out of later constitutions and ant legal chance for secession disappeared from Chinese law.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Hales |first1=Ben |title=The Tangled History of the ‘Tibet Card’ |url=https://thediplomat.com/2020/08/the-tangled-history-of-the-tibet-card/ |website=thediplomat.com |publisher=The Diplomat |accessdate=14 August 2020}}</ref>

List of secessionist movements in the People's Republic of China
Fujian People's Government (Fujian People's Government is rather a historical state. The current active movement advocating for Fujian independence is 'Hokkienam' or 'Banvetia' movement.)
After the failed Tibetan uprising, some Tibetans followed the Dalai Lama into India, establishing a government-in-exile called the Central Tibetan Administration.
The movement is no longer supported by the 14th Dalai Lama, who although having advocated it from 1961 to the late 1970s, proposed a sort of high-level autonomy in a speech in Strasbourg in 1988, and has since then restricted his position to either autonomy for the Tibetan people in the Tibet Autonomous Regionwithin China, or extending the area of the autonomy to include parts of neighboring Chinese provinces inhabited by Tibetans.
Taiwan, a state with limited recognition whose territory is claimed as China's 23rd province, is not included in this list because it has never been governed by the People's Republic of China, the government that was established in mainland China in 1949.
