Period of mobilization for the suppression of Communist rebellion

Period of mobilization for the suppression of Communist rebellion (Chinese: 動員戡亂時期; pinyin: Dòngyuán Kānluàn Shíqí; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tōng-oân Kham-loān sî-kî) is a political term used by the Kuomintang-led government of the Republic of China to indicate the country's entering into a state of emergency with the raising Chinese Civil War.^[1] The term aimed to mobilize the people and resources under Kuomintang's control to fight with the Chinese Communist Party rebellion.

The term was announced in July 1947 by Chiang Kai-shek, the chairman of the Nationalist Government, as an administrative order. As the situations worsen by time, it was then turned into a constitutional amendment named Temporary Provisions against the Communist Rebellion (動員戡亂時期臨時條款) on 10 May 1948. As the Chinese Communist Revolution progressed, the Temporary Provisions were no longer enforced in most areas of China as the CCP's armed forces expelled the Kuomintang's armed forces.^[2] However, it was still enforced by the Kuomintang-led government of the Republic of China in Taiwan until the early 1990s.
