The All-China Federation of Taiwan Compatriots (ACFTC) is a people's organization composed mainly of Taiwanese residing in the People's Republic of China whose official aim is Chinese unification.^[1]

History

The ACFTC was established on 22 December 1981 in Beijing.^[2]

Starting in 2017, the ACFTC took on a more prominent role in the CCP's united front efforts directed at Taiwan.^[3]

During the run-up to the 2024 Taiwanese presidential election, the ACFTC coordinated editorial attacks against presidential candidate Lai Ching-te, framing him as "pro-war".^[4]

In 2024, Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council banned its citizens from working at the ACFTC due to national security concerns.^[5]^[6]
