United front in Taiwan

The united front in Taiwan is an aspect of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the government of the People's Republic of China's larger united front strategy, applied to Taiwan, to achieve unification. It relies on the presence of pro-Beijing groups in Taiwan combined with a carrot-and-stick approach of threatening war with Taiwan while offering opportunities for business and cultural exchanges. According to officials of Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council, the CCP has long relied on organized crime as part of its united front tactics in Taiwan. In Taiwan, the term "united front" is often linked to Chinese imperialism and expansionism by critics of Chinese unification.
