National Unification Council
The Unification ( Chinese 國家統一委員會 , Pinyin Guojia Tǒngyī Wěiyuánhuì , English. National Unification Council , NUC) was on October 7, 1990 by Lee Teng-hui , President of the Republic of China on Taiwan and chairman of the Kuomintang , based body whose aim it was to ponder the terms of Taiwan unification with the People's Republic of China . It was dissolved in 2006 by President Chen Shui-bian ( Democratic Progressive Party ).
aims
The aim of the council had been to promote the reunification of Taiwan with China. It was founded in 1990 as a concession to the government of the People's Republic of China that Taiwan was interested in reunification with China. The establishment of the reunification council helped initiate talks between the two states in the 1990s.
construction
The reunification council was organized in the office of the president. The council consisted of 32 people from politics and business.
Act
The council developed the guidelines for national reunification , which were adopted on February 23, 1991 by the Reunification Council and on March 14, 1991 by the Executive Yuan , the Cabinet.
On August 1, 1992, the Council accepted the concept of " one China ", with two interpretations.
On April 8, 1995, Lee Teng-hui named six conditions (" Lee's six ") for union in the NUC , in response to Jiang Zemin's eight conditions from January 1995.
A total of 14 meetings were held, but none since Chen Shui-bian took office on May 20, 2000. Even the budget of NT $ 1000 was only a symbolic amount in the last few years.
resolution
Taiwan's President Chen Shui-bian dissolved the council on February 27, 2006. In a statement on February 28, 2006 , the State Council of the People's Republic of China accused Chen Shui-bian of accelerating separatist activities and provoking a confrontation between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits . The USA also criticized the dissolution. The Taiwanese president responded to the criticism by declaring on Taiwan's symbolic "Day of Peace" (see incident on February 28 ) that the NUC would deprive the Taiwanese of the right to decide their own future. Officially there was talk of suspending the council.
