One Country on Each Side

Wikipedia

 
One Country on Each Side (一邊一國) is a concept espoused by President of the Republic of China Chen Shui-bian regarding the political status of Taiwan. As it implies, it means that both the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China are separate countries, as opposed to separate governments within the same country of China.

Chen used this phrase in a August 3, 2002 telecast to the annual conference of the World Federation of Taiwanese Associations meeting in Tokyo when he stated that it needs to be clear that "with Taiwan and China on each side of the Taiwan Strait, each side is a country." His statements were made in Taiwanese (linguistics)|Taiwanese, as opposed to the Mandarin (linguistics)|Mandarin, and drew a barrage of criticism from the Media in China|mainland press, which had previously shied away from the type of personal attacks it gave to Lee Teng-hui, who promoted a similar two states theory.
