10 October - Taiwan National Day
The meaning and the importance of the “National Day” goes back to the "Wuchang Uprising", which set the political distinction between traditional China and modern China and led to the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1911. The revolution brought an end to the Ching (Qing) Dynasty, which the Manchus had created in 1644. The insurrection resulted in the establishment of the Republic of China on January 1, 1912.
It is not an ordinary thing that this significant date is celebrated in Taiwan and not in mainland China. On the contrary, it shows the foundation of a political transformation that continues even to this date. The reason why the anniversary has been celebrated in Taiwan but not in communist China for years resulted from ideological separation and a series of ideological struggles on the way to declaring a republic.
Within this scope, after the civil war between the Communist Party of China and the nationalist “Kuomintang” (KMT), communists dominated the mainland in 1949, while the nationalists made a new political structure named the “Republic of China” (ROC) on Taipei Island.
For the reasons mentioned above, the date October 10 is not only the day to celebrate “National Day” in Taiwan, but also an occasion for discussions refueled about the current political regime in the mainland.
