Editing One Country on Each Side (section)

==History==
In [[Peng Ming-min]]'s 1964 {{ill|Declaration of Formosan Self-Salvation|zh|台灣自救運動宣言|wikidata|Q10915671}}, it was stated that "One China, one Taiwan" had been an ironclad fact ({{lang|zh-TW|「一個中國，一個台灣」早已是鐵一般的事實}}).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/editorials/archives/2004/09/19/2003203497|title=Learning from Peng's declaration - Taipei Times|date=September 19, 2004|website=www.taipeitimes.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.economist.com/obituary/2022/04/21/peng-ming-min-fought-for-the-idea-of-one-china-and-one-formosa|title=Peng Ming-min fought for the idea of “one China and one Formosa”|via=The Economist}}</ref> The same concept “'''One China, One Formosa'''” was presented in [[Chen Lung-chu]] and [[Harold Lasswell]]’s book-length proposal in 1967 — ''Formosa, China and the United Nations: Formosa in the World Community''.<ref>{{Cite journal|url=https://digitalcommons.nyls.edu/fac_books/55|title=Formosa, China and the United Nations: Formosa in the World Community|first1=Lung-chu|last1=Chen|first2=Harold|last2=Lasswell|date=January 1, 1967|journal=Books}}</ref>

Chen used this phrase in an August 3, 2002, telecast to the annual conference of the [[World Federation of Taiwanese Associations]] meeting in Tokyo when he stated that it needs to be clear that "with Taiwan and China on each side of the [[Taiwan Strait]], each side is a country."<ref>{{cite web |title=Extracted text of the telecast relating to cross-strait relations |publisher=Mainland Affairs Council of Republic of China |date=2002-08-03 |url=http://www.mac.gov.tw/big5/mlpolicy/refer92/1_22.htm |language=zh |script-quote=zh:台灣不是別人的一部分；不是別人的地方政府、別人的一省 |access-date=2008-09-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041217222641/http://www.mac.gov.tw/big5/mlpolicy/refer92/1_22.htm |archive-date=2004-12-17 |url-status=dead }} (''Táiwān búshi biéren de yībùfèn; búshi biéren de dìfāng zhèngfǔ, biéren de yī shěng'')</ref> His statements were made in [[Taiwanese Minnan]] as opposed to [[Mandarin Chinese|Mandarin]] and drew a barrage of criticism from the [[Media in mainland China|mainland Chinese press]], which had previously shied away from the types of attacks it gave to [[Lee Teng-hui]], who promoted a similar "{{ill|special state-to-state relations|lt=|zh|特殊的國與國關係}}". The United States also expressed serious concerns over this concept, as the U.S. felt that this concept appeared to have departed from Chen's earlier pledge of "[[Four Noes and One Without]]".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.taiwandc.org/wp-2003-04.htm|title=Taiwanese Leader Condemns Beijing, 'One China' Policy|website=www.taiwandc.org}}</ref> "State-to-state relations" had originally been translated in English as “country-to-country relations” but the [[Mainland Affairs Council]] got the translation changed to the less provocative option.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Baron |first1=James |title=The Glorious Contradictions of Lee Teng-hui |url=https://thediplomat.com/2020/08/the-glorious-contradictions-of-lee-teng-hui/ |website=thediplomat.com |publisher=The Diplomat |access-date=19 August 2020}}</ref>

The [[Taiwan Action Party Alliance]], founded on 18 August 2019, incorporated One Country on Each Side into its Chinese-language name.
