The Taiwan Democratic Workers' Party (Chinese, pinyin: Taiwan Minzhu Gongdang; Chinese, Han script: 台灣民主工黨) was founded in 2002 after a split in the original Workers' Party (Chinese, pinyin: Gongdang; Chinese, Han script: 工黨) and renamed into the Taiwan Workers' Party (Chinese, pinyin: Taiwan Gongdang; Chinese, Han script: 台灣工黨) in 2003, the name under which it was registered later same year and which it still uses [1].

Its flag is green, charged with a simplified yellow Chinese character 井 spread throughout the whole field. As in several other Chinese and Taiwanese flags, this stands for the ancient "Well-field system" [2], which was traditionally respected as the ideal of social justice; yellow color stands for the three thousand years of its history, while green stands for the social justice itself [3, 4]. Green field may have actually been borrowed from the Democratic Progressive Party from which the original Workers' Party broke away in 1987 [1].
