Central committee of the Taiwan Democratic Self-Government League

The Taiwan Democratic Self-Government League (TDSL), also known by its Chinese abbreviation Taimeng (simplified Chinese: 台盟; traditional Chinese: 臺盟), is one of the eight minor political parties in the People's Republic of China under the direction of the Chinese Communist Party.

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.[3] The party does not participate in the political system of Taiwan.

History

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.[citation needed]

Organization

In June 2022, the party had organizations in 19 province-level administrative divisions throughout China.[4]

The TDSL publishes the newspaper Taimeng (The TDSL).[5] It historically published the Xin Taiwan Congkan (New Taiwan Series) before 1949 while it was based in Hong Kong.[6]

Composition

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, it has 3,400 members.[4]
