After the establishment of the provincial executive office, <a href="/wiki/Chen_Yi_(Kuomintang)" title="Chen Yi (Kuomintang)">Chen Yi</a> was appointed Chief Executive. Chen proclaimed 25 October to be <a href="/wiki/Retrocession_Day" title="Retrocession Day">Retrocession Day</a>. However, because Japan had not formally relinquished the sovereignty of Taiwan at that time, <a href="/wiki/Allies_of_World_War_II" title="Allies of World War II">Allies of World War II</a> did not recognize the unilateral annexation of Taiwan by the Republic of China. </p><p>Chen Yi's administration was marred by corruption, as well as a lack of discipline in the military police assigned to occupation duties, resulting in a severe undermining of the chain of command. With the rampant corruption in his administration, Chen Yi began to monopolize power. In addition to this, the island's post-war economy was failing and headed into a recession, causing people on the island to endure economic hardship. The government's program of "De-Japanization" also created cultural estrangement, along with tensions between the growing population of migrants from the mainland and the pre-war residents of the island. The building tensions erupted in 1947, when the arrest of a cigarette vendor by government agents led to the death of a bystander. The clashes between police and residents that followed quickly spread across the island, and grew into a general rebellion against Chen Yi and the Chief Executive's Office in what came to be known as the <a href="/wiki/February_28_incident" title="February 28 incident">February 28 incident</a>.

However, due to the Chinese Civil War, the <a href="/wiki/Temporary_Provisions_against_the_Communist_Rebellion" title="Temporary Provisions against the Communist Rebellion">Temporary Provisions Effective During the Period of Communist Rebellion</a> were passed as an amendment to the <a href="/wiki/Constitution_of_the_Republic_of_China" title="Constitution of the Republic of China">Constitution of the Republic of China</a>. This established martial law in Taiwan and curtailed civil liberties and democracy. The official rationale for the Provisions was the ongoing Chinese Civil War and ROC was effectively under the military rule of the KMT during the <a href="/wiki/Period_of_mobilization_for_the_suppression_of_Communist_rebellion" title="Period of mobilization for the suppression of Communist rebellion">period of mobilization</a>. Taiwan was effectively under martial law. </p><p>However, with the demise of the KMT single-party system and democratization movement during the 1980s, martial law was eventually lifted in 1987 (and its provisions were eventually rescinded in 1991). <a href="/wiki/Constitutional_democracy" class="mw-redirect" title="Constitutional democracy">Constitutional democracy</a> was restored in ROC after 1987. </p><p>When the <a href="/wiki/Taiwan" title="Taiwan">Republic of China</a> relocated to Taiwan in 1949, the <a href="/wiki/Chinese_Youth_Party" class="mw-redirect" title="Chinese Youth Party">Chinese Youth Party</a>, <a href="/wiki/China_Democratic_Socialist_Party" title="China Democratic Socialist Party">China Democratic Socialist Party</a>, and KMT were the only legal political parties in Taiwan. The other established parties operated under the <a href="/wiki/Tangwai_movement" title="Tangwai movement">Tangwai movement</a>. </p><p>Until the early 1970s, the Republic of China was recognized as the sole legitimate government of China by the United Nations and most Western nations, which refused to recognize the People's Republic of China (PRC) on account of the Cold War. The KMT rule of Taiwan under martial law until the late 1980s had the stated goals of being vigilant against Communist infiltration and preparing to retake mainland China. Therefore, political dissent was not tolerated. </p><p>The late 1970s and early 1980s were a turbulent time for the Taiwan-born as many of the people who had originally been oppressed and left behind by economic changes became members of Taiwan's new middle class. Free enterprise had allowed native Taiwanese to gain a powerful bargaining chip in their demands for respect for their basic human rights. The <a href="/wiki/Kaohsiung_Incident" title="Kaohsiung Incident">Kaohsiung Incident</a> would be a major turning point for democracy in Taiwan. </p><p>Taiwan also faced setbacks in the international sphere. In 1971, the ROC government walked out of the United Nations shortly before it recognized the PRC government in Beijing as the legitimate holder of China's seat in the United Nations. The ROC had been offered dual representation, but Chiang Kai-shek demanded to retain a seat on the UN Security Council, which was not acceptable to the PRC. Chiang expressed his decision in his famous "the sky is not big enough for two suns" speech. In October 1971, <a href="/wiki/Resolution_2758" class="mw-redirect" title="Resolution 2758">Resolution 2758</a> was passed by the UN General Assembly and "the representatives of Chiang Kai-shek" (and thus the ROC) were expelled from the UN and replaced as "China" by the PRC. In 1979, the United States switched recognition from Taipei to Beijing. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Chiang_Kai-shek" title="Chiang Kai-shek">Chiang Kai-shek</a> died in April 1975 at the age of 87, and was succeeded in the presidency by <a href="/wiki/Yen_Chia-kan" title="Yen Chia-kan">Yen Chia-kan</a> while his son <a href="/wiki/Chiang_Ching-kuo" title="Chiang Ching-kuo">Chiang Ching-kuo</a> succeeded to the leadership of the Kuomintang (opting to take the title "Chairman" rather than the elder Chiang's title of "Director-General"). Formerly the head of the feared secret police, Chiang Ching-kuo recognized gaining foreign support to securing the ROC's future security required reform. His administration saw a gradual loosening of political controls, a transition towards democracy, and moves toward Taiwanization of the regime. Opponents of the Nationalists were no longer forbidden to hold meetings or publish papers. Though opposition political parties were still illegal, when the <a href="/wiki/Democratic_Progressive_Party" title="Democratic Progressive Party">Democratic Progressive Party</a> was established as the first opposition party in 1986, President Chiang decided against dissolving the group or persecuting its leaders. Its candidates officially ran in elections as independents in the <a href="/wiki/Tangwai_movement" title="Tangwai movement">Tangwai movement</a>. In the following year, Chiang ended martial law and allowed family visits to mainland China. </p><p>Chiang selected <a href="/wiki/Lee_Teng-hui" title="Lee Teng-hui">Lee Teng-hui</a>, a Taiwan born technocrat to be his vice president, first in the line of succession to the presidency. The move followed other reforms giving more power to native-born citizens and calmed anti-KMT sentiments during a period in which many other Asian autocracies were being challenged. </p><p>After Chiang Ching-kuo died in 1988, his successor, President <a href="/wiki/Lee_Teng-hui" title="Lee Teng-hui">Lee Teng-hui</a>, continued to democratize the government. Lee transferred more government authority to Taiwanese-born citizens, and Taiwan underwent a process of localization. In this localization process, local culture and history was promoted over a pan-China viewpoint. Lee's reforms included printing banknotes from the Central Bank instead of the usual Provincial Bank of Taiwan. He also largely suspended the operation of the <a href="/wiki/Taiwan_Provincial_Government" title="Taiwan Provincial Government">Taiwan Provincial Government</a>.

ROC naval activity also caused severe hardship for mainland China fishermen. </p><p>After losing mainland China, a group of approximately 12,000 KMT soldiers escaped to <a href="/wiki/Myanmar" title="Myanmar">Burma</a> and continued launching guerrilla attacks into south China. Their leader, General <a href="/wiki/Li_Mi_(Republic_of_China_general)" title="Li Mi (Republic of China general)">Li Mi</a>, was paid a salary by the ROC government and given the nominal title of Governor of <a href="/wiki/Yunnan" title="Yunnan">Yunnan</a>.

After the Burmese government appealed to the <a href="/wiki/United_Nations" title="United Nations">United Nations</a> in 1953, the U.S. began pressuring the ROC to withdraw its loyalists. By the end of 1954, nearly 6,000 soldiers had left Burma and Li Mi declared his army disbanded.

A KMT guerrilla force continued to operate cross-border raids into south-western China in the early 1950s. The ROC government launched a number of air bombing raids into key coastal cities of mainland China such as <a href="/wiki/Shanghai" title="Shanghai">Shanghai</a>. </p><p>Though viewed as a military liability by the United States, the ROC viewed its remaining islands in <a href="/wiki/Fujian_Province,_Republic_of_China" class="mw-redirect" title="Fujian Province, Republic of China">Fujian</a> as vital for any future campaign to defeat the PRC and retake mainland China.

It also provided <a href="/wiki/Amphibious_warfare" title="Amphibious warfare">amphibious assault</a> ships to land supply, as a sunken ROC naval vessel was blocking the harbor. On September 7, the United States escorted a convoy of ROC supply ships and the PRC refrained from firing.

The bombardment finally ceased in 1979 after the establishment of diplomatic relations between the People's Republic of China and the United States. </p><p>During this period, movement of people and goods virtually ceased between PRC- and ROC-controlled territories.

This benefited many, especially old KMT soldiers, who had been separated from their family in mainland China for decades. This also proved a catalyst for the thawing of relations between the two sides. Problems engendered by increased contact necessitated a mechanism for regular negotiations. </p><p>In order to effect negotiations with mainland China on operational issues without compromising the government's position on denying the other side's legitimacy, the ROC government under <a href="/wiki/Chiang_Ching-kuo" title="Chiang Ching-kuo">Chiang Ching-kuo</a> created the "<a href="/wiki/Straits_Exchange_Foundation" title="Straits Exchange Foundation">Straits Exchange Foundation</a>" (SEF), a nominally non-governmental institution directly led by the <a href="/wiki/Mainland_Affairs_Council" title="Mainland Affairs Council">Mainland Affairs Council</a>, an instrument of the <a href="/wiki/Executive_Yuan" title="Executive Yuan">Executive Yuan</a>.

Prior to the 1990s, the ROC had been a one-party authoritarian state committed to eventual reunification with mainland China. However, with democratic reforms the attitudes of the general public began to influence policy in Taiwan. As a result, the ROC government shifted away from its commitment to the <a href="/wiki/One-China_policy" class="mw-redirect" title="One-China policy">One-China policy</a> and towards a separate political identity for Taiwan. <a href="/wiki/Jiang_Zemin" title="Jiang Zemin">Jiang Zemin</a>, <a href="/wiki/General_Secretary_of_the_Chinese_Communist_Party" title="General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party">General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party</a>, was also unwilling to compromise. Jiang notoriously attempted to influence the 1996 ROC election in Taiwan by conducting a missile exercise designed to intimidate Taiwanese voters and interfere with international shipping, leading to the <a href="/wiki/Third_Taiwan_Strait_Crisis" title="Third Taiwan Strait Crisis">Third Taiwan Strait Crisis</a>. By 1998, semi-official talks had broken down. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Chen_Shui-bian" title="Chen Shui-bian">Chen Shui-bian</a> was elected <a href="/wiki/President_of_the_Republic_of_China" title="President of the Republic of China">President of the ROC</a> in 2000.

Chen's repudiation of the <a href="/wiki/1992_Consensus" title="1992 Consensus">1992 Consensus</a> combined with the PRC's insistence that the ROC agree to a <a href="/wiki/One-China_policy" class="mw-redirect" title="One-China policy">"One China" principle</a> for negotiations to occur prevented improvement in cross-strait relations. </p><p>Up until the 1970s, the international community generally considered the Kuomintang on Taiwan to be the legal representative of China, but acknowledgment of the nation of the People's Republic of China slowly increased. In 1954, the Republic of China and the United States signed the <a href="/wiki/Sino-American_Mutual_Defense_Treaty" class="mw-redirect" title="Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty">Mutual Defense Treaty between the United States of America and the Republic of China</a>.

After this, the international position of the Republic of China slid to a large extent. In 1979, when the United States broke relations, it created an even more severe attack on the diplomatic plight of the ROC. In recent years, the ROC government has tried several times to apply anew to enter international organizations such as the United Nations and the World Health Organization, but, under the opposing side's powerful obstruction, there has been no success. </p><p>The question of the political status of Taiwan or whether the two sides are moving toward unification or seeking <i>de jure</i> independence is still unresolved. The assertion of the People's Republic of China both domestically and internationally is "Whether from the perspective of history, government or international law, Taiwan is an inseparable part of China.

After the national government moved to Taiwan, agriculture was first to grow, and, in 1953, Taiwan's economy returned to its pre-war level. After this, the government pursued a policy of "Nurture industry with agriculture"(以農養工) on the foundation established during Japanese rule. With the capital, manpower, and skilled labor that was in Taiwan, American aid,<sup id="cite_ref-51" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-51"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>50<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> etc., Taiwan's economy progressively moved toward rapid growth. In the 1950s, the government carried out an <a href="/wiki/Import_substitution_industrialization" title="Import substitution industrialization">import substitution</a> policy, taking what was obtained by agriculture to give support to the industrial sector, trading agricultural product exports for foreign currency to import industrial machinery, thus developing the industrial sector. The government raised tariffs, controlled foreign exchange and restricted imports in order to protect domestic industry. By the 1960s, Taiwan's import exchange industry was faced with the problem of saturating the domestic market. At the same time, the factories of some industrialized nations, because of rising wages and other reasons, slowly moved to certain areas that had both basic industry and low labor costs. Consequently, the economic policy of Taiwan changed to pursue <a href="/wiki/Export-oriented_industrialization" title="Export-oriented industrialization">export expansion</a>. In 1960, the government enacted the "Regulations for Encouraging Investment", actively competing for foreign business investment in Taiwan. In 1966, the government established the Kaohsiung Export Processing Zone, Asia's first <a href="/wiki/Free-trade_zone" title="Free-trade zone">export processing zone</a>, to expand the manufacturing production. In the role of a manufacturing relay station, Taiwan became a link in the international system of division of labor. In 1963, the proportion of Taiwan's economy occupied by industry exceeded that of agriculture. From 1968, Taiwan maintained two-digit long-term annual average economic growth up until the <a href="/wiki/1973_oil_crisis" title="1973 oil crisis">1973 oil crisis</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-52" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-52"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>51<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1971, Taiwan had a foreign trade surplus and continued from then on in an export state and a major producer of electronics goods. </p><p>After retreating to Taiwan, Chiang learned from his mistakes and failures in the mainland and blamed them for failing to pursue Sun Yat-sen's ideals of Tridemism and welfarism. Chiang's land reform more than doubled the land ownership of Taiwanese farmers. It removed the rent burdens on them, with former land owners using the government compensation to become the new capitalist class. He promoted a mixed economy of state and private ownership with economic planning. Chiang also promoted a 9-years compulsory education and the importance of science in Taiwanese education and values.
