This paper examines the two types of nationalism in Taiwan: Chinese and Taiwanese. According to the author, each is based on a competing interpretation of history and poses an identity crisis for Taiwanese people. The paper states that Chinese nationalism advocates reunification with the mainland, while Taiwanese nationalism advocates independence for Taiwan. It looks at where the various political parties and politicians in Taiwan fall on this spectrum of nationalism and discusses the impact of Taiwan’s two nationalisms on electoral dynamics.
