Mainland Legislative Continuity & Catch-Up

Jurisdiction & legal-status scope: This is non-binding research on possible future mainland legislative reception. Post-1949 ROC (Taiwan) laws are reviewed issue by issue; they are not presumed to be current law in mainland China.

This branch develops a non-sovereign pre-transition framework for reviewing post-1949 ROC legislation, identifying territorial and personal applicability, drafting model Mainland transition laws, and preparing lawful future legislative reception and ratification.

NON-SOVEREIGN — NON-BINDING — PRE-TRANSITION LEGISLATIVE RESEARCH. FCM does not presently claim the authority of a Legislative Yuan, National Assembly, parliament or government.

Applicability classification

  • A — already applicable constitutional or ROC law.
  • B — Free-Area-specific law, not automatically extended.
  • C — general modern legislation suitable for Mainland application.
  • D — legislation requiring Mainland adaptation.
  • E — cross-Strait or interim legislation that may become obsolete after constitutional transition.
  • F — legislation inconsistent with a future democratic constitutional order.

The project develops Legislative Review Determinations, Model Mainland Acts and Transitional Legislative Recommendations. Any future binding authority must come from a lawful constitutional and democratic process, not from FCM publication.
