Republic of China independence (Chinese: 中華民國獨立; pinyin: zhōnghuá mínguó dúlì; Wade–Giles: Chung¹hua² Min²kuo² tu²li⁴), abbreviated in Chinese as Huadu (Chinese: 華獨; pinyin: huá dú; Wade–Giles: hua² tu²; lit. 'Chinese independence')^[2] is a stance on the status of Taiwan that posits Taiwan and its outlying islands are presently an independent state (i.e. a distinct sovereign state from the People's Republic of China) under the name "Republic of China". Huadu supporters reject the One China principle, instead positing that:

1. There is a Taiwanese state whose formal name is the Republic of China for historical reasons, and/or;
2. There are de facto two Chinese states which coexist as part of a unitary nation with both having the name "China" and de jure claiming sovereignty over all of China.

The Taiwanese nationalist movement is largely divided into Huadu, which favors retaining "China" as part of the Taiwanese state's formal name to maintain legal ambiguity over the political status of Taiwan; and Taidu (Chinese: 台獨 or 臺獨; pinyin: tái dú), a syllabic abbreviation of "Taiwan independence" (Chinese: 台灣獨立 or 臺灣獨立; pinyin: táiwān dúlì) that proposes a more radical departure from the status quo by making a formal declaration of independence to create a de jure "Republic of Taiwan".^[2] Huadu politics is generally favored by the moderate pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party (DPP)^[a] while more radical groups such as the Taiwan Statebuilding Party and Taiwan Solidarity Union favor a declaration of independence. DPP politicians such as Lai hold that Taiwan is already independent as the Republic of China.^[4] DPP huadu supporters tend to see huadu politics as a pragmatic way to assert Taiwan's independence without unnecessarily aggravating the PRC government.^[5][6]

In addition to independence activists, some politicians in the Kuomintang (KMT) party also support Huadu.^[7] They generally oppose "one country, two systems" as well as further steps toward de jure independence.^[8][9] 'Light blue' former KMT Chair Johnny Chiang insisted on the abolition of the 1992 Consensus which was based on "one China".^[10]
