Political Stance
The Pan-Blue Coalition originally was associated with Chinese reunification, but has moved towards a more conservative position supporting the present status quo, while rejecting immediate reunification with mainland China. It now argues that reunification is possible only after the CCP regime in mainland China collapses and/or transitions to a democracy (either as a new democratic government or with the re-establishment of Sun Yat-sen's Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang, KMT) government which fled to the Taiwan Area after the Chinese Civil War). This would also allow the body of Chiang Kai-Shek to be returned to his ancestral home.

Famous quotes containing the words political and/or stance:
“If all political power be derived only from Adam, and be to descend only to his successive heirs, by the ordinance of God and divine institution, this is a right antecedent and paramount to all government; and therefore the positive laws of men cannot determine that, which is itself the foundation of all law and government, and is to receive its rule only from the law of God and nature.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“For good teaching rests neither in accumulating a shelfful of knowledge nor in developing a repertoire of skills. In the end, good teaching lies in a willingness to attend and care for what happens in our students, ourselves, and the space between us. Good teaching is a certain kind of stance, I think. It is a stance of receptivity, of attunement, of listening.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
