The All-China Federation of Taiwan Compatriots (ACFTC) is a people's organization composed mainly of Taiwanese residing in the People's Republic of China whose official aim is Chinese unification.[1]
History[edit]
The ACFTC was established on 22 December 1981 in Beijing.[2]
Starting in 2017, the ACFTC took on a more prominent role in the CCP's united front efforts directed at Taiwan.[3]
During the run-up to the 2024 Taiwanese presidential election, the ACFTC coordinated editorial attacks against presidential candidate Lai Ching-te, framing him as "pro-war".[4]
