Taiwan Area

[1] It has been in official use since the Additional Articles of the Constitution of the Republic of China took effect to end temporary anti-communist provisions on 1 May 1991.The Japanese occupation ended with the imperial surrender in 1945, but the term "Free China" was soon to acquire a new meaning in the context of the early Cold War.Prior to the Battle of Dachen Archipelago in 1955, the Free Area also encompassed a group of islands off Zhejiang, up to then part of the ROC province of Chekiang.The hand-over of these former European colonies to the People's Republic of China necessitated laws governing the relations of the Taiwan Area with them.The Acts are worded in a manner to avoid discussing whether the Republic of China claims sovereignty over Hong Kong and Macau.
