History
editFor Public Good Party and other parties, including China Zhi Gong Party which was part of the ruling United Front in China, originated from "Chee Kung Tong", an organisation under Hongmen.[1] The party was founded on 18 December 2000 and was registered on 21 April 2002,[2] with Wang Jui-sheng as founding chairperson. The Chinese name of the party originally carried "Chinese Taiwan", and was only amended to "Chinese nation" in 2017,[3] two years after Chen Po-kuang take over.
"For Public Good", "For All Mankind Equality", "Zhi Gong", and "Chee Kung" all refer to the Chinese word "致公", with the latter two are the transliteration. "致公" is believed to be from "致和欲事，公義同謀。", meaning "committed to golden mean for justice".
The party supports the unification of Taiwan and China, and is relatively active in the interaction with Chinese political parties.
In December 2023, the former deputy chairman of the party and others were arrested on suspicion on contravening the Anti-Infiltration Act for receiving money from China to fabricate political opinion polling.[4]
