@cyes5031700 the poll only says they deny they're 'Chinese' in the sense of nationality. However, the term Chinese also has an ethnic meaning, with which the census is actually concerned.
-
In Taiwan, more and more people identify themselves Taiwanese now.
According to the poll, 75 percent,give or take, of "Taiwan people" say they are Taiwanese.
About 15 percent say they're both Taiwanese and Chinese.

@Dawnemperor1 I am not talking about blood; in fact, blood is not quite an important concept in the definition of Han Chinese, who have absorbed different racial elements throught history even in mainland China. I'm talking about culture and self-identity. Most TW folks do identify themselves as Han Ren. The few who claim to be 'ethnic Taiwanese' are either aboriginals, or under the belief that mixture of blood disqualifies them from being Han Chinese.
-
@Dawnemperor1 can you re-post the previous remark of mine where "stringent" is found? I kinda forgot the context where I said that word.
-
@Dawnemperor1 Try googleing Han Chinese in Taiwan. If you conduct a survey by yourself, avoid the term "Chinese", as it has political connotations with the PRC. Use the term Han Ren instead. There are two major branches of Han Chinese in Taiwan: Hoklo and Hakka.
-
@TheAntiMoronTW Please elaborate on these "stringent conditions" which may have been constructed. If we share blood, that's great. But that shouldn't dictate our identity. On the aspect of culture, groups of people can influence each other. I know Taiwanese cannot deny Han influence, but they should not be forced to identify as Han Chinese because it's considered the only option.
-
@TheAntiMoronTW Do you mind providing some statistics?
-
@Dawnemperor1 You probably don't know that the Han Chinese identity is a deep-rooted belief among TW folks. Come to Taiwan and conduct a poll. You'll see.
-
@Dawnemperor1 then iroincally， there are fewer 'ethnic Taiwanese' in Taiwan than in the US.

@ChenJunHung I also recommend you to google "Han Chinese in Taiwan". You'll find a page on 國立暨南大學 that lists a number of courses offered in the anthropology department. One course is entitled "Society and Culture of Han Chinese in Taiwan", translated as "台灣漢人社會與文化” on their website. So, the term Han Chinese can mean Hanren.

@ChenJunHung Here's a definition from OED, specifically written for morons like you who cannot understand the ambiguity of "Chinese":
belonging to or relating to the people forming the dominant ethnic group of China and widely dispersed elsewhere. Also called Han
