The position was abolished in 1982 making the General Secretary the most powerful position in the party. It had been held by: ...more on Wikipedia about "Chairman of the Communist Party of China"
Proponents of Taiwan independence claim that if the government in Taiwan were formally to renounce its claim to be also the government of mainland China and outer Mongolia, and rename itself the Republic of Taiwan, this new state could then be admitted to the UN. They assert that if Taiwan were to take this step, the international community would be placed in a difficult position, caught between the PRC's internationally recognised claim that Taiwan is a province of China and the right of the people of Taiwan to self-determination. The resolutions proposing ROC representation since 1991 make it clear that it no longer seeks to represent all of China, but only the 23 million people of Taiwan. In the bids to join the UN under President Lee Teng-hui, the ROC called itself the "Republic of China on Taiwan." Under Chen Shui-bian, the designation has been "Republic of China (Taiwan)," and there are calls to enter as just "Taiwan." On November 15, 2004, Chen declared he would push to get the ROC included in the United Nations under the name Taiwan. He was quoted saying that "Taiwan is a sovereign state, should join the United Nations in the name of Taiwan". ...more on Wikipedia about "China and the United Nations"
In United States politics, the China lobby refers to any special interest group acting on behalf of a Chinese government to influence Sino-American relations. During most of the twentieth century, the term "China lobby" was usually used to refer to special interest groups acting on behalf of the Republic of China (ROC). Before American recognition of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1979, the PRC lobby was practically nonexistent; since that time, the PRC lobby has gradually strengthened, and by the 1990s, "China lobby" began usually referring to special interest groups acting on behalf of the PRC. Ironically, the primary competitor of the China lobby has often been the "other" China lobby, the lobbyists acting on behalf of the other Chinese government. ...more on Wikipedia about "China lobby"

Chinese economic reform ( Chinese: 改革开放; pinyin: Găigé kāifàng) refers to the program of economic changes called " Socialism with Chinese characteristics" in the mainland of the People's Republic of China (PRC) that were started in 1978 by pragmatists within the Communist Party of China (CPC) led by Deng Xiaoping and are ongoing as of the early 21st century. The goal of Chinese economic reform was to generate sufficient surplus value to finance the modernization of the mainland Chinese economy. Neither the socialist command economy, favored by CPC conservatives, nor the Maoist attempt at a Great Leap Forward from socialism to communism in agriculture (with the commune system) had generated sufficient surplus value for these purposes. The initial challenge of economic reform was to solve the problems of motivating workers and farmers to produce a larger surplus and to eliminate economic imbalances that were common in command economies. ...more on Wikipedia about "Chinese economic reform"

Chinese (re)unification ( ) is a goal of Chinese nationalism that refers to the reunification of all of " China" under a single political entity. As Hong Kong and Macau have been reunited with mainland China under the sovereignty of the People's Republic of China, the only outstanding issue under active debate is between the mainland and Taiwan (and the islands of the Pescadores, Quemoy, Matsu), which have continued to be administered by the Republic of China. The two sides have been separated since the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949 when the victorious Communists founded the People's Republic of China in mainland China while the defeated Nationalists retreated to Taiwan, which had been returned from Japan in 1945. ...more on Wikipedia about "Chinese reunification"
