In 2002, the Taiwan Solidarity Union, a party with about 10% of the Legislative Yuan seats at the time, suggested making Taiwanese a second official language.

Because of these objections, support for this measure was lukewarm among moderate Taiwan independence supporters, and the proposal did not pass.
