Four Wants and One Without or Four Yeses and One No (Chinese: 四要一沒有) is a policy proposed by the former president of the Republic of China (Taiwan), Chen Shui-bian, in a speech at a function of the Formosan Association for Public Affairs on March 4, 2007. The substance thereof is that:

  • Taiwan wants independence;
  • Taiwan wants the rectification of its name;
  • Taiwan wants a new constitution;
  • Taiwan wants development; and
  • Taiwanese politics is without the question of left or right, but only the question of unification or independence.
