The Act Governing Relations between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area (Chinese: 臺灣地區與大陸地區人民關係條例), also called Cross-Strait Act (Chinese: 兩岸條例),[1] is the law of the Republic of China (Taiwan or ROC) governing cross-strait relations.[2]
The main purpose of the act is to protect the security and welfare of the people of Taiwan.[3] The act defines its de facto controlled territory as the Taiwan area. It also provides a legal framework on the relations between Taiwan and mainland China without recognising the People's Republic of China (PRC) and its governmental organisations. It is enacted in accordance with Article 11 of the Additional Articles of the Constitution of the Republic of China promulgated on 1 May 1991.
