If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests.

'''Taiwan Province''' ({{zh|t=臺灣省 |p=Táiwān Shěng |poj=Tâi-oân-séng}}; [[Pha̍k-fa-sṳ|PFS]]: ''Thòi-vàn-sén'' or ''Thòi-vân-sén'') is a ''de jure'' [[administrative divisions of Taiwan|administrative division]] of the [[Taiwan|Republic of China]] (ROC). Provinces remain a titular division as a part of the [[Constitution of the Republic of China]], but are no longer considered to have any administrative function practically.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://english.president.gov.tw/Page/106|title=Local governments|website=Office of the President Republic of China (Taiwan)|access-date=30 November 2020}}</ref><ref name="TWP">{{cite web|url=https://garymarks.web.unc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/13018/2021/03/Taiwan_combined.pdf|title=Taiwan combined|author= Sarah Shair-Rosenfield|website=The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill|date= November 2020|access-date=29 May 2021}}</ref>

Taiwan Province covers approximately 69% of the [[geography of Taiwan|island of Taiwan]], and comprises around 31% of [[Demographics of Taiwan|the total population]].  The province initially covered the [[Geography of Taiwan|entire island of Taiwan]] (Formosa), [[Penghu]] (the Pescadores), [[Orchid Island]], [[Green Island, Taiwan|Green Island]], [[Xiaoliuqiu|Xiaoliuqiu Island]], and their [[List of islands of Taiwan|surrounding islands]]. Between 1967 and 2014, six [[Special municipality (Taiwan)|special municipalities]] ([[Kaohsiung]], [[New Taipei City|New Taipei]], [[Taichung]], [[Tainan]], [[Taipei]] and [[Taoyuan, Taiwan|Taoyuan]]) were split off from the province, all in the most populous regions.

Taiwan was initially made a [[Taiwan Prefecture|prefecture]] of [[Fujian|Fujian Province]] by the [[Qing dynasty]] of China after its conquest of the [[Kingdom of Tungning]] in 1683. Following the [[Keelung campaign|French offensive in northern Taiwan]] during the [[Sino-French War]], the island's strategic position in maritime security and defence was re-evaluated and given prominence by the Qing.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Davidson |first1=James W. |authorlink=James W.

In 1887, Taiwan was designated as a distinct [[Administration_of_territory_in_dynastic_China#Qing_dynasty_(1644–1912)|province]] (namely "Fujian-Taiwan Province"; {{zh|t= [[:zh:福建臺灣省|福建臺灣省]]}}), with Liu as the first governor, but the island was then [[Treaty of Shimonoseki|ceded]] to the [[Empire of Japan]] in 1895, following China's defeat in the [[First Sino-Japanese War]]. After the [[surrender of Japan]] in [[World War II]], the province was re-established on Taiwan by the [[Kuomintang]] (KMT)-led [[Nationalist Government]] in September 1945 and it became the last stronghold of the KMT government after their defeat in the [[Chinese Civil War]]. The provincial capital of [[Taipei]] has correspondingly become the [[provisional capital]] of the [[Government of the Republic of China|ROC central government]] since 1949. 

During the constitutional reform initiated in 1996, the ROC authorities decided to downsize the provincial structure to solve the problem of overlapping personnel and administrative resources between the provincial and central governments, and cut excessive public spending.<ref>{{citation| chapter = The rise and fall of Sanminzhuyi Utopia | pages = 136–138 | author = Bi-yu Chang | title = Place, Identity, and National Imagination in Post-war Taiwan | publisher = Routledge | date = 24 March 2015 | isbn = 9781317658122 | chapter-url = {{Google books|hgaUBwAAQBAJ|page=138|plainurl=yes}} | postscript = .}}</ref> The provinces were streamlined and ceased to be self-governing bodies in December 1998, with their administrative functions transferred to the [[Executive Yuan]]'s subsidiary [[National Development Council (Taiwan)|National Development Council]], as well as second-tier local governments such as [[county (Taiwan)|counties]]. In July 2018, all provincial governmental organs were formally abolished, with their budget and personnel removed.<ref name="TWP"/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2018/06/29/2003695750|title=Provincial-level agencies to be defunded next year|author= Sherry Hsiao|website=Taipei Times|date= 29 June 2018|access-date=29 May 2021}}</ref>

==History==
{{further|History of Taiwan}}

===Qing Empire===
In 1683, [[Zheng Keshuang]] (third ruler of the [[Kingdom of Tungning]] and a grandson of [[Koxinga]]), surrendered to the [[Qing Empire]] following a naval engagement with Admiral [[Shi Lang]]. The Qing then ruled the Taiwanese archipelago (including [[Penghu]]) as [[Taiwan Prefecture]] of [[Fujian Province]]. In 1875, [[Taipeh Prefecture]] was separated from Taiwan Prefecture. In 1885, work commenced under the auspices of [[Liu Mingchuan|Liu Ming-chuan]] to develop Taiwan into a province. In 1887, the island was designated as a province (officially "Fujian-Taiwan Province"; Chinese: [[:zh:福建臺灣省|福建臺灣省]]), with Liu as the first governor.<ref>{{harvp|Davidson|1903|p=[https://archive.org/details/islandofformosap00davi/page/244 244]}} "During the French war, Liu Ming-chuan had been placed in sole command, responsible only to the central authorities. Under his superintendence, Formosa had been carried safely through the war, and it was now apparent that the exigencies of the times required that the island should be made an independent province, and that officials of high rank and undoubted ability should be henceforth placed in charge of it. Therefore, in 1887, the island was declared by Imperial decree an independent province, and the Imperial Commissioner Liu Ming-chuan was appointed the first governor."</ref> The province was also reorganized into four prefectures, eleven districts, and three sub-prefectures.{{sfnp|Davidson|1903|p=244|ps=: "A thorough reorganization and redivisioning of the island was now necessitated. In former days, Formosa comprised one complete prefecture, four districts, and three sub-prefectures. Now the island became a province with four prefectures (Taipeh, Taiwan, [[Tainan]], and [[Taitung Prefecture|Taitung]]), eleven districts, and three sub-prefectures."}}<ref>{{cite book |title=Sketches from Formosa |year=1915 |last=Campbell |first=William |author-link=William Campbell (missionary) |publisher=Marshall Brothers |location=London |chapter=Chapter XLIV: A Retrospect and a Forecast |chapter-url=https://archive.org/stream/sketchesfromtaiw00camprich#page/278/mode/2up |ol=7051071M |pages=278–9}}</ref> The provincial capital, or "Taiwan-fu", was intended to be moved from the south (modern-day [[Tainan]]) to the more central area of ''Toatun'' (modern-day [[Taichung]]) in the revamped Taiwan Prefecture.{{sfnp|Davidson|1903|pp=244–5|ps=: "As a result of these changes and additions, the seat of government (which had been formerly at the old town of Taiwan-fu in the south, which city had been in turn the capital of the Dutch, Koxinga, and the Chinese,) was now removed temporarily to the new city of [[Taipei|Taipeh]], which had been lately in course of construction...In connection with this, it is necessary to go further and explain that it was the intention of the government to build a new capital city in the centre of the island near [[Changhua|Changwha]]. Accordingly, the new city was laid out and the construction of official yamens commenced. The name of the new city became Taiwan-fu, or the capital city of Taiwan (Formosa), and it was also to be the seat of a new prefecture called [[Taiwan Prefecture|Taiwan [Prefecture]]]." }} As the new central Taiwan-fu was still under construction, the capital was temporarily moved north to Taipeh (modern-day Taipei), which eventually was designated the provincial capital.

===Empire of Japan===
In 1895, the entire Taiwan Province, including Penghu, was [[cession|ceded]] to [[Japan]] following the [[First Sino-Japanese War]] through the [[Treaty of Shimonoseki]]. [[Taiwan under Japanese rule|Under Japanese rule]], the province was abolished in favour of [[Political divisions of Taiwan (1895-1945)|Japanese-style divisions]]. After the [[surrender of Japan]] in 1945, Taiwan was [[Retrocession Day|handed over]] to the [[Republic of China (1912–1949)|Republic of China]] (ROC).

The ROC government immediately established the [[Taiwan Provincial Government]] under first Chief Executive and government-general [[Chen Yi (Kuomintang)|Chen Yi]] in September 1945.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hrc.ntu.edu.tw/attachments/9709/japan.pdf |script-title=zh:「去日本化」「再中國化」：戰後台灣文化重建（1945–1947) |quote=Chapter 1. |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722235726/http://www.hrc.ntu.edu.tw/attachments/9709/japan.pdf |archive-date=22 July 2011 |publisher=麥田出版社 |last1=Huang |first1=Yingzhe (黃英哲) |date=19 December 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://members.shaw.ca/leksu/mainp9e.htm|title=Shaw Communications|website=members.shaw.ca}}</ref> Chen was extremely unpopular and his rule led to an uprising – the [[February 28 Incident]] of 1947. Chen was recalled in May 1947 and the government-general position was abolished.

When the Republic of China government was relocated to Taipei in 1949 as a result of the [[Kuomintang]]'s (KMT) defeat by the [[Chinese Communist Party]] forces in the [[Chinese Civil War]], the provincial administration remained in place under the claim that the ROC was still the government of all of China even though the opposition argued that it overlapped inefficiently with the national government.

The seat of the provincial government was moved from [[Taipei]] to [[Zhongxing New Village]] in 1956. Historically, Taiwan Province covers the entire island of Taiwan and all its associated islands. The city of Taipei was split off to become a province-level [[Special municipality (Taiwan)|special municipality]] in 1967, and the city of Kaohsiung was split off in 1979 to become another special municipality. In December 2010, [[Kaohsiung County]] left the province and merged with the original Kaohsiung City to become an expanded Kaohsiung City, [[Taipei County]] became the special municipality named [[New Taipei City]]. The cities and counties of [[Taichung]] and [[Tainan]] were also merged, respectively, and elevated to special municipality. On 25 December 2014, [[Taoyuan, Taiwan|Taoyuan County]] was upgraded into a [[Special municipality (Taiwan)|special municipality]] and split off from Taiwan Province.

Until 1992, the governor of Taiwan province was appointed by the ROC central government. The office was often a stepping stone to higher office.

In 1992, the post of the governor of the province was opened to election. The then-opposition [[Democratic Progressive Party]] (DPP) agreed to retain the province with an elected governor in the hopes of creating a "[[Boris Yeltsin|Yeltsin]] effect" in which a popular local leader could overwhelm the national government. These hopes proved unfulfilled as then-Kuomintang member [[James Soong]] was elected governor of Taiwan province, defeating the DPP candidate [[Chen Ding-nan]].

In 1997, as the result of an agreement between the KMT and the DPP, the powers of the provincial government were curtailed by constitutional amendments. The post of provincial governor was abolished. In addition, the provincial council was also replaced by the [[Taiwan Provincial Consultative Council]]. Although the stated purpose was administrative efficiency, Soong and his supporters claim that it was actually intended to impede [[James Soong]]'s political life, though it did not have this effect.

The provincial administration was downscaled in 1998, most of its power handed to the central government. The [[County (Taiwan)|counties]] and [[Provincial city (Taiwan)|provincial cities]] under the province became the primary administrative divisions of the country.

==Government==
{{Main|Taiwan Provincial Government|Taiwan Provincial Consultative Council}}

The position of the Chairperson of the Provincial Government, appointed by the [[Government of the Republic of China|central government]], is retained to comply with the [[Additional Articles of the Constitution of the Republic of China|Constitution]].

The major operations of the provincial government, such as managing [[highways in Taiwan|provincial highways]] and the [[Bank of Taiwan]], have been transferred to the [[Executive Yuan]] since 1998. In July 2018, all remaining duties were transferred to the [[National Development Council (Taiwan)|National Development Council]] and other ministries of the Executive Yuan.<ref name="tpg">{{cite web|url=http://www.tpg.gov.tw/|title=Taiwan Provincial Government Official Website|access-date=17 July 2018|archive-date=10 April 2003|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030410213719/http://www.tpg.gov.tw/|url-status=dead}}</ref>{{failed verification |date=September 2020}}

== Territorial disputes ==
{{Main|Senkaku Islands|Taiwan Province, People's Republic of China|Two Chinas}}

The [[China|People's Republic of China]] (PRC) regards itself as the "[[succession of states|successor state]]" of the [[Republic of China (1912–1949)|Republic of China]] (ROC), which the PRC claims no longer legitimately exists, following [[Proclamation of the People's Republic of China|establishment of the PRC]] on [[Mainland China]]. The PRC asserts itself to be the [[One China|sole legitimate government of China]], and claims Taiwan as its [[Taiwan Province, People's Republic of China|23rd province]], even though the PRC itself has never had control of Taiwan or other ROC-held territories. The ROC [[political status of Taiwan|disputes this position]], maintaining that it still legitimately exists and that the PRC has not succeeded it.

The PRC claims the entirety of the [[geography of Taiwan|island of Taiwan]] and its nearby islands and islets, including the [[Penghu]], as parts of its Taiwan Province, corresponding to the ROC's Taiwan Province before the special municipalities were split off. The PRC claims that Taiwan is a part of China, that the PRC [[succession of states|succeeded]] the ROC as the sole legitimate authority in all of [[Greater China|China]] upon its founding in 1949, and that therefore Taiwan is a part of the PRC.

The [[Senkaku Islands]], which are currently administered by [[Japan]], are disputed by both the ROC and the PRC, which claim them as the Tiaoyutai/Diaoyu Islands. The ROC government claims them as part of [[Toucheng|Toucheng Township]], [[Yilan County, Taiwan|Yilan County]].
