With 14 seats in the National People's Congress and 4 seats in the NPC Standing Committee, the TDSL is the smallest legally recognized minor political party in the People's Republic of China. TDSL supports Chinese unification.[7] The party does not participate in the political system of Taiwan.
The party was founded in the then-British colony of Hong Kong in November 1947, by members of the Taiwanese Communist Party who survived the February 28 incident.[6]
Prior to 1958, the party advocated for Taiwan's communization but supported Taiwanese self-determination.[4][5][6] The party is now opposed to Taiwan independence.[3]
In June 2022, the party had organizations in 19 province-level administrative divisions throughout China.[8]
The TDSL publishes the newspaper Taimeng (The TDSL).[9] It historically published the Xin Taiwan Congkan (New Taiwan Series) before 1949 while it was based in Hong Kong.[10]
The TDSL is mostly composed of prominent people from Taiwan or people of Taiwanese heritage who now reside on the mainland. As of June 2022[update], it has 3,400 members.[8]
