KMT (Taiwan)

The Kuomintang (KMT) is a major political party in Taiwan, originally founded in China in the early 20th century. After losing the Chinese Civil War to the Communists, the KMT retreated to Taiwan in 1949, where it maintained the government. Traditionally, it advocates for Chinese nationalism and closer ties with mainland China, though it supports Taiwan's current democratic system. The KMT plays a significant role in Taiwan's politics, representing center-right policies, economic development, and stability. It has been a key force in shaping Taiwan’s political landscape, balancing modern governance with its historical roots linked to Chinese culture and identity.
