 However, the KMT has been forced to moderate its stance by advocating the political and legal "status quo" of modern Taiwan as political realities make the reunification of China unlikely.The KMT holds to the one-China policy in that it officially considers that there is only one China, but that the Republic of China rather than the People's Republic of China is its legitimate government under the 1992 Consensus.To ease tensions with the PRC, the KMT has since 2008 endorsed the Three Noes policy as defined by Ma Ying-jeou, namely no unification, no independence and no use of force.
