New Tide (Chinese: 新潮流系; Pinyin: Xīn Cháoliú Xì) was the name of a faction within the Tangwai movement and later the DPP that was the most tightly disciplined and ideologically driven of the larger factions. It is partly due to this that while influential within the DPP itself, New Tide activists were better known for their activism than their achievements in elections. Its name is borrowed from the political magazine the members initially organised around.
Within the DPP, they served as a counterbalance first to Kang Ning-hsiang's moderate Mainstream faction then the Formosa faction, which came to replace the former as the faction dominating the moderate wing of the party.
