The Red Idea:-

1) National Culture Revolution. Different culture and religion will cause disunity and will slow down National Identity. Only culture revolution will bring peace and harmony. Example: only English and free thinker.

2) National Financial Revolution. To prevent the rich monopoly politic and economy. All organization belong to Government. Example; Government Link Company and Government Investment Company.

3) National Worker Union Revolution. To prevent national security collapse. The worker had to elect worker leader as national policy maker to secure worker interest. One Worker Union that link to Red party. Example: NTUC

The Blue Idea:-

The Three Principles of the People, also translated as Three People's Principles, or collectively San-min Doctrine, is a political philosophy developed by Sun Yat-sen as part of a philosophy to make China a free, prosperous, and powerful nation.

1) Mínzú

The Principle of Mínzú (Mínzú Zhǔyì) is commonly rendered as "nationalism", literally "the People's relation" or "government of the People." By this, Sun meant freedom from imperialist domination.

To achieve this he believed that China must develop a "civic-nationalism," Zhonghua Minzu, as opposed to an "ethnic-nationalism," so as to unite all of the different ethnicities of China, mainly composed by the five major groups of Han, Mongols, Tibetans, Manchus, and the Muslims (such as the Uyghurs), which together are symbolized by the Five Color Flag of the First Republic (1911–1928). This sense of nationalism is different from the idea of "ethnocentrism," which equates to the same meaning of nationalism in Chinese language.

To achieve this he believed that China must develop a "national conciousness" so as to unite the Han in the face of imperialist aggression. He argued that "minzu", which can be translated as "people", "nationality" or "race", were defined by sharing common blood, livelihood, religion, language and customs.

2) Mínquán

The Principle of Mínquán (Mínquán Zhǔyì) is usually translated as "democracy"; literally "the People's power" or "government by the People." To Sun, it represented a Western constitutional government. First, he divided political life of his ideal for China into two sets of 'powers':

Powers

2.a) Politics

The power of politics (zhèngquán) are the powers of the people to express their political wishes, similar to those vested in the citizenry or the parliaments in other countries, and is represented by the National Assembly. There are four of these powers: election, recall, initiative, and referendum. These may be equated to "civil rights".

2.b) Governance

The power of governance (zhìquán) are the powers of administration. Here he expanded the European-American constitutional theory of a three-branch government and a system of checks and balances by incorporating traditional Chinese administrative tradition to create a government of five branches (each of which is called a Yuan (yuàn) or 'court').

The Legislative Yuan, the Executive Yuan, and the Judicial Yuan came from Montesquieuan thought; the Control Yuan and the Examination Yuan came from Chinese tradition. (Note that the Legislative Yuan was first intended as a branch of governance, not strictly equivalent to a national parliament.)

3) Mínshēng

The Principle of Mínshēng (Mínshēng Zhǔyì) is sometimes translated as "the People's welfare/livelihood," "Government for the People". Through this, Sun meant socialism (democratic socialism) and communism, though the government of Chiang Kai-shek and onward shied away from translating it as such. He defined this principle of saying in his last days "it's socialism and it's communism.".

The concept may be understood as social welfare as well. Sun understood it as an industrial economy and equality of land holdings for the Chinese peasant farmers. Here he was influenced by the American thinker Henry George (see Georgism) and German thinker Karl Marx; the land value tax in Taiwan is a legacy thereof. He divided livelihood into four areas: food, clothing, housing, and transportation; and planned out how an ideal (Chinese) government can take care of these for its people.

Members of the Kuomintang said that minsheng zhuyi itself meant socialism. Dr. Sun and the Kuomintang defintely defined Minsheng as socialism, using the term as another word for socialism when referring to socialist parties in Europe.
