One common goal of current Chinese government is the [[Chinese unification|unification]] of mainland China and Taiwan. It is the commonly-stated goal of both the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China (Taiwan) before 1992, but both sides differ sharply in the form of unification because of their differences in political ideology.{{citation needed|date=May 2023}} Taiwan's Chinese nationalists mainly support the legitimacy of the [[Republic of China (1912–1949)|Republic of China]] (see [[Pan-Blue Coalition]]), but there are also nationalists who support the People's Republic of China.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XczbAAAAQBAJ&dq=%22pro-Beijing%22+%22New+Party%22&pg=PA1954 |author=Bernice Lee |title=The Security Implications of the New Taiwan |quote=Peng, the DPP's pro-independence challenger, secured 21%, while pro-Beijing New Party candidate Ling Tang-Kang polled only 15%. |date=September 13, 2013 |publisher=[[Taylor & Francis]] |pages=1954|isbn=978-1-136-06212-4 }}</ref><ref name="蕭嘉弘">{{Cite news |author=蕭嘉弘 |date=2018-09-21 |title=台灣急統派不是民主極右勢力！ |trans-title=Taiwan's 'radical pro-unification factions' is not a 'democratic far-right'. |quote=標榜大中國民族主義，屬於極右的愛國同心會和統促黨則完全不同，... |trans-quote=The far-right Patriot Alliance Association and Chinese Unification Promotion Party, which advocates Chinese ultra-nationalism, is completely different, ... |newspaper=民報 Taiwan People News |url=https://www.peoplemedia.tw/news/18413dfd-20c1-46df-a456-a0849c4a6881 |archive-date=2023-06-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230618175826/https://www.peoplemedia.tw/news/18413dfd-20c1-46df-a456-a0849c4a6881 }}</ref>

In Taiwan, there is a general consensus to support the [[status quo]] of Taiwan's [[political status of Taiwan|''de facto'' independence as a separate nation]]. However, the relationship between Chinese nationalism and Taiwan remains controversial, involving symbolic issues such as the use of the "Republic of China" as the official name of the government on Taiwan and the use of the word "China" in the name of [[state-owned enterprise|government-owned corporations]]. There is little support in Taiwan for immediate unification. Overt support for formal independence is also muted since the PRC insists on [[war|military action]] if Taiwan makes such a formal declaration. The argument against unification is partly over culture and whether democratic [[Taiwanese people|Taiwanese]] should see themselves as Chinese or Taiwanese; and partly over mistrust of the authoritarian Chinese Communist Party (CCP), its [[human rights in China|human rights record]], and its de-democratizing actions in Hong Kong (e.g. [[2014–2015 Hong Kong electoral reform]], which sparked the [[Umbrella Movement]]).{{citation needed|date=May 2023}}

Those misgivings are particularly prevalent among younger generations of Taiwanese, who generally consider themselves to have little or no connection to China.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Randy Mulyanto |title=Generation next: How the young are changing Taiwan's politics |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/03/generation-nexthow-young-changing-taiwan-politics-200326070158729.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200607172106/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/03/generation-nexthow-young-changing-taiwan-politics-200326070158729.html |archive-date=7 June 2020 |access-date=2020-07-29 |website=[[Al Jazeera Arabic|Al Jazeera]]}}</ref>

There are ultranationalist groups in Taiwan that support unification with China. Some radical Chinese nationalist groups in Taiwan include the [[Patriot Alliance Association]] founded in 1993<ref>{{Cite web |last=李雪莉 |date=2018-07-04 |title=They Used To Be Anti-Communist, But Now They Play To Beijing's Tune - 報導者 The Reporter |url=https://www.twreporter.org/a/about-ilovchinaorg-english |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190716164652/https://www.twreporter.org/a/about-ilovchinaorg-english |archive-date=2019-07-16 |website=[[The Reporter (Taiwan)]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last1=Yimou Lee |last2=James Pomfret |date=2019-06-26 |title=Pro-China groups step up offensive to win over Taiwan |language=en |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-taiwan-china-campaign-insight-idAFKCN1TR01D |access-date=14 November 2022 |archive-date=28 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230628094322/https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-taiwan-china-campaign-insight-idAFKCN1TR01D |url-status=live }}</ref> and the [[Chinese Unification Promotion Party]] founded by Taiwanese mafia leader [[Chang An-lo]].
