History

The party was formed by the supporters of theKuomintanggovernment on Taiwan in 1994. It was represented bySin Ling Yumin theLegislative Council of Hong Kong(LegCo) from 1995 to 1997. It was excluded from theProvisional Legislative Council,the interim body which largely controlled by the Beijing government. All candidates were defeated in the1998 LegCo elections.

The party won six seats in the1999 District Council elections.Due to lack of funding, the party did not file any candidates in the2000 LegCo elections(although some of the losers continued to take part as independent participants or supporters of other parties), and was subsequently dissolved on 3 December 2000 due to the lack of financial support from theTaiwan government.^[2]The last chairman of the alliance wasTai Cheuk-yin.
