The Taiwan Localization Movement is a means of promoting the unique identity of Taiwan as opposed to the idea that Taiwan is an extension of China. It focuses on teaching history, culture, and language on the local level, with regional relevance. Originally associated with the movement for Taiwanese Independence, the Taiwan Localization Movement is now embraced by many centrists, and even those in favor of reunification with China.
