^A: It is the day the Patriot Alliance Association (PAA) was founded as a political party; the PAA was founded as a political organization in November 12, 1993 (1993-11-12).
The (Chinese) Patriot Alliance Association (Chinese: 愛國同心會), abbreviated PAA, also known as the Concentric Patriotism Alliance (Chinese: 中華愛國同心會) or the Concentric Patriotism Association of China is a pro-Chinese Communist Party (CCP) organization that supports the unification of Taiwan and China.[3][4] The PAA is principally described as a pro-CCP party and it is described by Xiao Jiahong writing for Minbao as a far-right[2] party.
The organization was founded in 1993 and has been subjected to multiple public complaints of harassment and aggression. Because of this, its members have been informally labeled "Communist thugs in Taiwan".[4] Members of the PAA engaged in altercations with Falun Gong-practitioners during demonstrations in front of the Taipei 101 square in 2010 which escalated to physical violence.[3][5]
Zhang Xiuye [zh] is a founding member of the Chinese Patriotic Alliance Association. She was born in Shanghai, married a Taiwanese and then moved to Taiwan around 1993, after which she and her husband divorced.[4] According to some sources, Zhang is considered the leader of the PAA.[5]
Another member of the PAA is the Vietnamese-born Su An-sheng (蘇安生), who had reportedly kicked the former President of Taiwan, Chen Shui-bian, in the back.[6][7][8]
In July 2022, the Taipei District Prosecutors’ Office disclosed that the PAA's attempts to influence Taiwanese politics were funded by the Taiwan Affairs Office in China. Wanted notices were issued for Lin Ming-mei, the wife of former party chairman Chou Ching-chun, and the party's secretary-general, Zhang Xiuye.[9]
