By this theory, [[Chen Shui-bian|Chen]] pointed out that the Republic of China is now at the 4th stage.

The Four-stage Theory of the Republic of China or the Theory of the Four stages of the Republic of China (Chinese: 中華民國四階段論; pinyin: Zhōng Huá Mín Guó Sì Jiē Duàn Lùn) is proposed by Chen Shui-bian, the 10th-and-11th(current)-term president of the Republic of China. It is a viewpoint regarding the political status of the Republic of China, which retreated to Taiwan after the Communist Revolution in 1949. The main idea of the theory is that the time line for the development of the Republic of China can be classified into four stages, which are:

  1. The Republic of China situated in mainland China. (Chinese: 中華民國在大陸)
  2. The Republic of China came to Taiwan. (Chinese: 中華民國來臺灣)
  3. The Republic of China situated on Taiwan. (Chinese: 中華民國在臺灣)
  4. The Republic of China is Taiwan. (Chinese: 中華民國是臺灣)

By this theory, Chen pointed out that the Republic of China is now at the 4th stage. That is, Taiwan is an already independent nation separated from mainland China, and is called the "Republic of China". This theory is welcomed by the pan-green coalition in Taiwan, which supports Taiwan independence; but is not welcomed by the pan-blue coalition, which supports reunifying Taiwan with mainland China to maintain a single Chinese nation.
