• DPP legislator Lin I-chin proposed renaming the "Act Governing Relations Between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area" to "Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) Relations Act."
• The proposal, backed by over 20 DPP lawmakers, aims to remove "before national reunification" references and reflect "basic facts."
• Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council notes the law's sensitivity, requiring broad societal consensus, while analysts question DPP's ability to pass it due to opposition majority.
