The political solution that is accepted by most of the current groups is the status quo : that is, to leave Taiwan's status the way it is, as a de facto independent state, without making a formal declaration of independence.
The status quo is accepted in large part because it does not define the legal status or future status of Taiwan, leaving each group to interpret the situation in a way that is politically acceptable to its members.
At the same time, a policy of status quo has been criticized as being dangerous precisely because different sides have different interpretations of what the status quo is, leading to the possibility of war through brinksmanship or miscalculation.
Political correctness is a term used to criticize what is seen as misguided attempts to impose limits on language and the range of acceptable public debate.
They argue that the political criticism of diction may inhibit freedom of speech, particularly the expression of opinions that risk offending some group; comparisons are sometimes made to George Orwell 's newspeak.
Some on the political left reject the conservative definition of the term when applied as a blanket political epithet to all liberals and leftists, but do believe that there is indeed a political correctness which has become a problem on the left.
