Pan-Blue Coalition

The Pan-Blue Coalition (traditional Chinese: 泛藍聯盟; simplified Chinese: 泛蓝联盟; pinyin: Fànlán Liánméng) or Pan-Blue Force is a political alliance in the Republic of China (Taiwan), consisting of the Kuomintang (KMT), the People First Party (PFP), and the New Party (CNP). The name comes from the party colours of the Kuomintang. This coalition tends to favor a Chinese nationalist identity over a separate Taiwanese one and favors a softer policy and greater economic linkage with mainland China, as opposed to the Pan-Green Coalition.
