The only elected representative of the pro-ROC camp in the post-handover era is the Democratic Alliance, of which party chairman Johnny Mak and Shek King-ching occupied seats in the Yuen Long District Council until 2021.

The pro-Kuomintang triad members played a key part in the Double Ten riots, which was escalated from provocations between pro-Nationalist and pro-Communist factions in 1956.

This became the most iconic pro-Nationalist neighbourhood Rennie's Mill, which was a Nationalist enclave in the colony until it was redeveloped into the Tseung Kwan O New Town in the 1990s on the eve of the Communist takeover of Hong Kong.

The British government in Hong Kong did not recognize Chu Hai College's accreditation, so it was instead registered under the Republic of China's Ministry of Education, giving it recognition as if the school were located in Taiwan.

The signing of the Sino-British Joint Declaration in 1984, which decided Hong Kong's sovereignty to be handed over to the People's Republic of China (PRC), also resulted in diminished numbers of the pro-Taiwan forces.

Yum Sin-ling, the leader of the alliance won a seat through an Election Committee composing of District Board members in the last colonial Legislative Council on the eve of the handover.

The Democratic Alliance led by Johnny Mak was founded in 2003 and cooperated with pro-democrat legislator Albert Chan in the 2003 District Council election.

The other currently active pro-Taiwan political groups include the China Youth Service & Recreation Centre and Hong Kong Chung Shan Research Institute, the local KMT branch.
