Since 1949, it has always been the outpost and natural defense of Taiwan and Penghu, but the block of cultural interchanges between two places at the same time. Nowadays, Kinmen has changed its position from the former armed military base to a political experimental area of Taiwan and China. With such great importance, it would be just the priority place for us the research the issues between both sides of the straits. The “two straits” have been divided for over 60 years and differ in whether political systems or democracy legalities. Therefore, gaining the understandings and trust between peoples would be the best path to improve each others’ benefits, interests, and developments. To avoid the possible serious political disagreements would not only depend on gearing up China’s democraticalization process by interactions, but also need to put into practice through making the Mainland Chinese spouses realize the real values and meanings of Taiwan’s democracy development. Through the above-mentioned process, building the spouses as the catalysts to urge China’s democraticalization. These days, foreign spouses have become the fourth major group among our social structure. Their different background and thinking could change, or even delay Taiwan’s democracy process. How to make their concepts “localized” in a short period of time would depend on how we accurately point out their values to our society, understand their issues and make the instant emergency plans to connect them closely with our society. Meanwhile, gathering the power of government and community to set up reasonable and effective systems would help to stabilize our society, firmer our structure, and eventually decrease our social problems. The study mainly discusses “the acknowledgement of the Mainland Chinese spouses to Taiwan’s values of democracy.” According to the scholar of Politics Hoover, values of democracy could be specifically defined into five principles, such as the rights to be equal, the rights to make decisions, the rights to be free, the rights to diverse, and the rights to balance. I hereby designed and filled out 400 questionnaires among 1169 Mainland Chinese spouses in Kinmen, calculated with cross-analyzing methods, and tended to realize their acknowledgement to Taiwan’s values of democracy from them.
