What is the difference between Taiwanese and Chinese?
Ethnically they're the same (Han chinese), Taiwan also has 2% of aborigines(people who lived there before chinese settlement a couple of centuries ago); People in Taiwan speak 2 chinese dialects such as mandarim(from northern China) and Min Nan dialect( from the Fujian province). After the collapse of the Qing dynasty, two political parties struggled for power , namely the Chinese Nationalist Party or Kuomintang (KMT) and the Chinese Communist Party(CCP). A civil war began. Somehow the CCP managed to win the civil war, and the KMT had to retreat to the island of Taiwan, triggering a new wave of chinese immigrants to the island. There , the Nationalist vowed to reunite China one day, under the name of Republic of China (ROC)-the official name of Taiwan, while in the mainland the communists established the People's Republic of China(PRC). So since 1949, they have been throwing propaganda at each other, and being hostile. Lately in the 90's, people in Taiwan have been viewing themselves as 'taiwanese', who blames them? they're 2nd or 3rd generation of chinese who were born in the island and don't wan't to be associated with a bad political regime (communist China) (common human behavior). Sadly they're turning a political issue into a identity issue, taping into the emotions of people rather then good common sense. Both are the legitimate heirs of the chinese nation culture and traditons(i'm not talking about political governments), they share common language, beliefs, religion and blood. I would say that a Taiwanese is a person who lives in "Free Democratic China (ROC)" while his brother lives under a communist regime (PRC). Hopefully, onde day, they will solve this political issue and unite just like east and west Germany.
