| has gloss | eng: :There is also a specific Chinese reunification of 1928. Chinese reunification refers to the bringing together of all of the territories controlled by the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (ROC) under a single political entity. After Hong Kong and Macau were reunited with mainland China under the rule of the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), the only outstanding goal for advocates of Chinese reunification is the unification of the mainland China (including Hong Kong and Macau) and Taiwan (including Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu Islands). Except for the 4 years immediately following World War II, Taiwan has been under different governments from mainland China since 1895. Since 1945, Taiwan has been controlled by the ROC. Before the 1990s, both the PRC and the ROC claimed to be the legal government of the whole of China and Taiwan. Supporters of Chinese reunification believe it would eliminate the competing factions in an unresolved civil war and re-unify China under a single national government. |
