Republic of China independence (Chinese:
Taiwan is already a sovereign, independent country called the Republic of China.
—Lai Ching-te, 15 August 2023[2]
Major politicians of the Democratic Progressive Party seeking moderate Taiwanese nationalism tend to support Huadu. Tsai Ing-wen's administration of Taiwan maintains that Taiwan is already an independent country as the Republic of China and thus does not have to push for any sort of formal independence.[3] Some politicians in Kuomintang also support Huadu.[4]

Broadly speaking, they are divided into two camps: "Taiwan" independence (
台 獨 , taidu) and "Republic of China (ROC)" independence (華 獨 , huadu). The basic difference between the two is between renaming the country Taiwan or maintaining Taiwan as an independent nation under the ROC name and maintaining the constitution. - ^ Wang, Cindy; Weber, Joel (15 August 2023).
