Book cover How the Communist Party of China Manages the Issue of Nationality

Abstract

China has suffered in recent history from continuous aggression by imperialist powers as well as the erosion of its sovereignty during a century of humiliation that included occupation, dismemberment and division. Since the First Opium War in 1840, Britain, France, Germany, the United States, Italy, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Russian Empire, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and Japan have all carried out acts of aggression against China by land or by sea, which can be described as unique even among continents and countries that have suffered from Western imperialism and colonialism in recent times. As a result, the historical legacy of nationality issues left by imperialism is particularly onerous.

Tibet is part of Chinese territory, and the Tibet question is China’s internal affair. The PLA must enter Tibet.

–Mao Zedong , “The PLA Must Enter Tibet”

Regarding Cross-Strait reunification – For Taiwan to be reunified with the mainland, first of all, it is a national question, a question of national sentiments. All members of the Chinese nation want to see China reunified. The present state of division is contrary to our national will.

–Deng Xiaoping in reply to American TV correspondent Mike Wallace

Since the founding of New China , we have waged a constant struggle with anti-China forces and ethnic separatist forces over Tibet and Xinjiang. Maintaining stability in these areas, countering the disruptive activities of anti-China forces and ethnic separatist forces, and safeguarding national unity and reunifying the motherland are all of tremendous significance for ensuring the smooth progress of reform, opening up and modernization, and for the long-term peace and stability of our Party and country.

–Jiang Zemin , “Let the Party and State’s Voices Be Heard in Millions of Homes in Tibet, Xinjiang and Other Border Areas”

Crack down on ethnic separatist forces and their activities in accordance with law; firmly oppose domestic and foreign hostile forces that use nationality issues to infiltrate China and carry out disruptive activities; and resolutely safeguard national unity, reunification of the motherland, national security, and social stability.

–Hu Jintao , “Report at the Central Conference on Nationality Work”

    The Jungli Incident refers to the civil unrest that followed accusations by non-party forces that the KMT was guilty of fraud during the 1977 local elections. The police station in Jungli was surrounded by people and set alight, which led to the army being called in. The next day, the Taiwanese authorities announced it would bring to justice the scrutineers involved. Calm was restored when Hsu Hsin-Liang, who not affiliated with the party, was elected leader of Taoyuan County. The Kaohsiung Incident refers to the political conflict that took place between the KMT and Formosa magazine published by opposition forces in 1979. On the 30th anniversary of the publication of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, the magazine held an International Memorial Conference and Procession on Human Rights. The procession, which was led by the manager of the magazine, Shih Ming-teh, clashed violently with police and military police. After the incident, authorities arrested the people in charge of Formosa magazine, and sentenced Shih Ming-teh, Huang Shin-chieh, Lu Hsiu-lien and others to prison sentences. This incident had a major impact on the changes that occurred in Taiwan’s political and social situation in the 1980s. Cf. Liu Hong and Zheng Qingyong (2001), pp. 91–95.

    In 1983, a Taiwan University student from the Gaoshan nationality started a campus publication called Gao Shan Qing, which was seen as the start of the minority nationality movement. In 1984, the Association for the Promotion of Rights of Indigenous People was established. This moved Taiwan’s minority nationality movement to the more organized stage of issuing political declarations. Cf. Lin Shu-ya (2000), pp. 74, 397.

    Taiwan’s “localization” refers to “Taiwanization” and, at the political level, “it exaggerates the existence of Taiwan, maintains that the political regimes of Chiang Kai-shek , Chiang Ching-kuo, Lee Teng-hui and Chen Shui-bian mean that Taiwan is an ‘independent sovereign state,’ and implies that Taiwan should become independent from China’s mainland.” Xu Jielin (2002), p. 42.
