Pro-ROC camp

The pro-Republic of China camp (Chinese: 親中華民國派 or 民國派), or the pro-Kuomintang camp (親國民黨派), is a political alignment in Hong Kong. It generally pledges allegiance to the Republic of China (ROC) in Taiwan and the Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist Party). The pro-ROC camp were called "Rightists" and was one of the two major political forces in Hong Kong during the first decades of the post-war period of the British colony of Hong Kong. The pro-ROC camp, who competed with the pro-Communist ("Leftists"), has gradually declined in numbers after the Republic of China's departure from the United Nations in 1971 and the signing of the Sino-British Joint Declaration in 1984 which decided Hong Kong's sovereignty to be handed over to the People's Republic of China (PRC). Today, it is generally aligned with the pro-democracy camp in Hong Kong and the Pan-Blue Coalition in Taiwan led by the Kuomintang. The pro-ROC camp closely follows the Kuomintang's doctrines, including Sun Yat-sen's Three Principles of the People and the 1992 Consensus of Cross-strait relations. It opposes Taiwan independence and also supports universal suffrage in Hong Kong. The only elected representatives of the pro-ROC camp in the post-handover era are from the Democratic Alliance, of which party chairman Johnny Mak and Shek King-ching occupied seats in the Yuen Long District Council until 2021.
