Template:Taiwan independence movement The Taiwan Independence Party (TAIP; Chinese: 建國黨; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kiàn-kok Tóng), also known as the Taiwan Nation Party, was a political party from 1996 to 2020 in Taiwan. It was usually associated with the Pan-Green Coalition and supported Taiwan independence.
History
Disappointed by the Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) gradual moderation of its support of Taiwan independence, some DPP members, many connected to Peng Ming-min's "Nation Building Association", formed the Taiwan Independence Party in 1996. However, the party has failed to win large-scale support, due to the lack of organizational skills and internal disagreements.[1] It was largely displaced as Taiwan's ideological independence party by the Taiwan Solidarity Union (TSU). The Ministry of Interior removed its entry from the registry of parties on 29 April 2020.[2]
