What makes you think that's so?  Who defines ethnicity?"

I urge you to learn more about Chinese people, culture, or history.

They are the same people because most population of Taiwan immigrated from China starting 2 AD. There are native people on that island that are not of Chinese origin but they account for less than 2 percent of the population.

They speak the same language because they do for a fact. The language spoken is Taiwan is Mandarin Chinese.

Taiwanese and Mandarin Chinese were all developed in Mainland China.

They are the same people because they are the same genetically as well as culturally.

I am a Chinese and the fact that they speak the same language and have the same culture is a kidergarden level kinda thing that every Chinese knows.

You are like asking me why "people from Tokyo are the same people as people from Osaka? They speak the same language, how? Who defines that?". I can't stop laughing after reading your post.

It just seems so funny to me for what you asked.

Please don't ask such questions again else I would laugh to death.

I am not attacking you so please don't accuse me of anything.

Ahem...I am Taiwanese and I think that I share the same origin, history, culture adn blood lines as many Chinese. Again, it is the person himself or herself that defines their own history, culture etc.

Just like how the 2 Koreas will still identify themselves as Koreans though they are in separate nation states under separate governments which are hostile towards each other.

Actually I take my word back. I think that the history is to be worked by all 3 nations: DPRK, PRC and ROK. I am sorry to have ignored North Korea in this.

I don't see why any threads about Taiwan would have to be closed. Maybe because Tobodai is overly sensitive about Taiwan. But I see no problems with it because I am Taiwanese.

And are you really in Uzbekistan?

I am more than serious what I said because It has got to do with what China is progressing into.  China has now accepted previously disclamed ethnic's history as theirs over the last few years.  For example, Genghis Khan, murderer of millions of Chinese, is now Chinese.  What sucks about this is that the issue inevitably turns into Korean history- distorting history to steal korean land.

But the Han Chinese in Taiwan are Han Chinese. They are no Mongolians but Han Chinese of the same origin, culture, language, blood. Their ancestors were part of the Chinese population who got killed by Genghis Khan.

i agree with that. just what seems to be hypocritical is that china seems to bring up this "one blood, one language, one country" thing when it suits itself, like with taiwan, and chooses to ignore it completely when talking about tibet, eastern turkestan, inner mongolia etc., you can't have it both ways.
