The Republic of Taiwan Provisional Government was a political organization engaged in the Taiwan independence movement, serving as a Government-in-exile. It was established in 1956 in Tokyo, Japan, under the leadership of Thomas Liao, a Taiwanese PhD graduate from the United States[2] and dissolved in 1977. From the mid-1950 to the early 1960, it was one of the major overseas organizations in the Taiwan independence movement.
