The Taiwanese Localism Front (島民抗中聯合, lit. "Islanders' Anti-China Coalition") or simply TLF (島抗) is an anti-communist secret society formed in Taiwan in 2016 and a resistance organization against the People's Republic of China (PRC), with membership of Taiwanese people, Hongkongers and South Mongolians.

History

The predecessor of the TLF is the "Vanguard Party" (先鋒黨), an informal organization formed in Taiwan in 2014. It began its official activities in November 2016 after being reorganized into "Taiwanese Localism Front". While outsiders do not know the total number of its members and the exact organizational structure, many mainland Chinese and Hong Kong media outlets estimate that there are TLF members in various parts of Taiwan and Hong Kong.

In October 2017, the TLF published an open letter written and typed by a local Mongolian resistance league member in Bayannur, Inner Mongolia, which sparked discussion in Taiwan.

In 2018, the TLF declared an alliance with Hong Kong National Front and Concordia Association; it was criticized by pro-Beijing state media outlets Ta Kung Pao and the Global Times.

In November 2021, the TLF published a cartoon on social media in support of Hong Kong's resistance activists assassinating a Hong Kong police officer, which was criticized by Hong Kong's pro-Beijing media as "Incitation to Terrorism".

Political stance

The TLF argued that Taiwan should prepare for a showdown with the PRC by strengthening its arms and reforming its military system, arguing that Hong Kong's complete communization would pose a threat to Taiwan's defense, and that Taiwan's self-determination should be ultimately realized only when external threats are removed, allowing Taiwan to truly decide its final course and become a normal country.

They have tried to train the militia by insisting on the use of force against the PRC, and have been severely criticized by several Hong Kong's pro-Beijing media for supporting Hong Kong, South Mongolia, Manchurian independence, and resistance movements with mainland China several times.

Notes

1. It is a Manchukuo nationalist organization founded in the 21st century, inspired by the Concordia Association, which was Manchukuo's ruling party from 1932 to 1945. See Manchurian nationalism#Proclaimed Manchukuo government-in-exile

To be sure, although anti-China is an increasingly vocal “political correctness” in Taiwan, fascist discourse is still in the minority, and the far-right TLF can only operate on the fringes of the political landscape with minimal exposure.]
