'''Chinese unification''', also known as '''Cross-Strait unification''' or '''Chinese reunification''', is the potential unification of territories currently controlled, or claimed, by the [[China|People's Republic of China]] ("China" or "Mainland China") and the [[Taiwan|Republic of China]] ("Taiwan") under one political entity, possibly the formation of a [[political union]] between the two republics. Together with [[Taiwan independence movement|full Taiwan independence]], unification is one of the main proposals to address questions on the [[political status of Taiwan]], which is the central focus of [[Cross-Strait relations]].
