The term "Chinese Nationalist" typically refers to members of the Kuomintang (KMT), a political party founded in 1912 that aimed to unify China and promote nationalism. The KMT played a significant role in the early 20th century, especially during the Chinese Civil War against the Communist Party of China (CPC). After losing the civil war in 1949, the KMT retreated to Taiwan, where it continued to govern and promote its vision of a unified China. Chinese nationalism emphasizes pride in Chinese culture, history, and identity. It often seeks to strengthen the nation against foreign influence and promote economic and military development. In contemporary times, Chinese nationalism can be seen in various forms, including support for the People's Republic of China (PRC) and its policies, as well as a focus on territorial integrity, particularly regarding regions like Taiwan and Tibet.
