Taiwan People's Party was the first political party founded in Taiwan. The original party flag was derived from that of Kuomintang by repainting the bottom half of the field into red. It was adopted on 1929-01-02 and remained in use until 1929-10-06, when the red flag
with three white stars on blue canton was adopted. That flag remained in use until the party was banned by the Japanese authorities on 1931-02-18.

On the flag, "blue means 'civil movement,' red means 'class movement,' and the white sun means brightness," explained by Chiang Wei-shui https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiang_Weishui, the founder of Taiwan People's Party.

The party's Chinese name is "臺灣民眾黨". Of course, I suggest to use only Wade-Giles in the title and links, and use Pinyin to note in the parentheses. By the way, because the sourced SVG on Wiki Common was drawn by me, please credit to Akira Oyo and Tomislav Todorović.

I wrote the Chinese name as the series of Unicode codepoints, which might be the best way to do with all non-ASCII characters - probably, not all of us can view them when written directly.
I did not use the SVG file to make my GIF, but the image of the Kuomintang flag, which I partly repainted - hence the credit as I gave it. I guess that the result would look the same if I used the SVG, though.
Tomislav Todorović, 23 April 2014

I believe that to write directly in Chinese characters and as the series of Unicode codepoints will not affect in any adverse way to each other or to the readers.
Regarding the image, I agree with you. Since you didn't image the GIF from the SVG, it should be credit only to you.
Akira Oyo, 23 April 2014

Certainly not - it is only that the Chinese characters written directly might not be shown correctly in e-mail message, as it may happen with any non-ASCII characters (much less possible to happen nowadays than in the early days of the FOTW-Mailing List, but the possibility still exists).
