For Public Good Party (Chinese: 中華民族致公黨), or For All Mankind Equality Party, is a Chinese nationalist right-wing political party in Taiwan (Republic of China). Advocating Chinese unification, the party was elected to local council and as township mayors.

History[]

For Public Good Party and other parties, including China Zhi Gong Party which was part of the ruling United Front in China, originated from "Chee Kung Tong", an organisation under Hongmen.[1] The party was founded on 18 December 2000 and was registered on 21 April 2002,[2] with Wang Jui-sheng as founding chairperson. The Chinese name of the party originally carried "Chinese Taiwan", and was only amended to "Chinese nation" in 2017,[3] two years after Chen Po-kuang take over.

"For Public Good", "For All Mankind Equality", "Zhi Gong", and "Chee Kung" all refer to the Chinese word "致公", with the latter two are the transliteration. "致公" is believed to be from "致和欲事，公義同謀。", meaning "committed to golden mean for justice".

The party supports the unification of Taiwan and China, and is relatively active in the interaction with Chinese political parties.
