Chinese Solidarity Party (Cherry, Plum, and Chrysanthemum)

The Chinese Solidarity Party (中華團結黨 Zhōnghuá Tuánjiédǎng) is the ruling political party of the Republic of China since 1948. It was founded by the former members of Chinese Nationalist Party in 1947 as the ideological successor of the original political party founded in 1912. The guiding ideology of the party is the Three Principles of the People, advocated by Sun Yat-sen. The party's earliest predecessor, the National People's Party or the 1912 Kuomintang, was founded by Sun Yat-sen and Song Jiaoren shortly after the Xinhai Revolution of 1911. The party's foundations lay in many revolutionary movements founded by overseas Chinese that active in the late 1800s and early 1900s. These groups planned and supported the Xinhai Revolution of 1911 and the founding of the Republic of China on January 1, 1912.

The Chinese Solidarity Party is the vanguard party of the Republic of China and the Chinese Revolution and its role is enshrined in the current 1948 Constitution of the Republic of China. Other political parties are permitted to exist as the part of United Front organization. Nevertheless, all the parties in the Front organization are completely subservient to the Solidarity Party.
