	Explore Taiwanese society's sorrowful mentality
		During that period of time, Taiwanese people were forced to live by compulsory survival principles Japanese dominators designed; as long as Taiwanese people follow the rules diligently, they did not have to worry about their basic survival needs and they can get comparably fairer arrangements concerning livelihood and the like.
		Taiwanese aboriginal inhabitants however, did not find assimilating with Japanese culture, colonial policies as well as Japanese education to be that easy.
		People at the time did not approve of the National government's policies, because many of them were obviously implying disrespects towards Taiwanese culture, customs and languages, despite the fact that Taiwanese civilians share the same Han culture and languages with the National government that had just arrived from mainland China.

		On the mainland, the Communists established the People's Republic of China, claiming to be the successor state of both the mainland and Taiwan and portraying the ROC government on Taiwan as an illegitimate entity.
		Taiwanese culture also has influenced the West: Bubble tea and milk tea are popular drinks readily available around city centers in Europe, Canada and the United States.
		The Taiwanese localization movement continues to be a major driver of Taiwanese culture, as a reaction against both the previous repression by the previously Kuomintang-controlled government and the hostility of the PRC.

		The Taiwanese people didn't seem to mind and must have been enjoying his speech because everyone was listening and laughing and no one attempted to push him off the post into the deep gorge behind him.
		Taiwanese people (Sandy included) don't seem to understand the concept of hiking for pleasure and most "hiking trails" I've seen in Taiwan are paved walkways, with concrete or wooden steps, handrails and lots of benches for resting.

	Reestablishing Taiwanese people's confidence is utterly important
		There are two kinds of people who actively take part in street protests and strikes: (1) those who feel that the society has failed them, and (2) are those who depress their feelings like anger and hatred deep down in their hearts, waiting for a chance to explode.
		Some elderly people seem very gentle at home, but when they join a strike they can become very violent and aggressive, because they have been pressing down their emotions for too long, and now has come the time for them to let it all out.
		In the process of Taiwanese people's personality development, Taiwanese went through a history of dominance by various ethnic groups and in the end governed by the National Party; there is nevertheless a touch of disappointment and lost in their hearts.

		One difference between Taiwanese and Japanese is that if Taiwanese do not have such eyes, it is more and more common for people to have plastic surgery in order to get these eyes, and some mothers encourage their children to have surgery as it is a "beauty mark".
		In Taiwan, people would think that they are showing off; however, in such a situation, people in Japan tend to consider the person who gives a different opinion as an adversary and they will become a subject to be attacked or ostracized.
		Taiwanese often go to a fortuneteller when a new child is born, when they feel depressed, when they get married, or even before they get divorced.

		In terms of the shift in the people’s stateness preference, we also find a general trend of increasing support for TI (from 6% in 1989 to 18.2% in 1996) and a sharp drop in the support for CU (from 55% in 1989 to 23% in 1996).
		Proponents of Taiwanese identity have used such phrases as “we are all Taiwanese,” “it’s the Taiwanese people’s turn,” “it’s a misery being a Taiwanese,” “identify with Taiwan and you are a Taiwanese,” and “let’s build a new Taiwanese consciousness” have all been used.
		Since neither Taiwanese nationalists nor Chinese nationalists consider it extremely urgent to pursue their nationalist goal at all costs and to push for a final settlement in the immediate future, the status quo is likely to be prolonged for quite some time.

		As a consequence, people have protested and demanded that the KMT regime to change their monolingual policy to a multilingual policy, and insisted on bilingual education.
		Even though the Taiwanese aborigines currently constitute only 1.7% of the total population of Taiwan (Huang 1993: 13), the aborigines used to be the majority and were distributed all over the island of Taiwan prior to Han immigration, which began in the second half of the seventeenth century.
		Since the awareness of being a Taiwanese was a threat to the Chinese KMT regime, the KMT regime proposed to "brain wash" Taiwanese through the national education system and the mass media (Ong 1993: 70-71).

	TiT Dining: Taiwan Cuisine - Adaptivity and Spirit
		The island's population density of 582 people per square kilometer is even more staggering considering that only 20% of the land is arable, with the rest being mountainous terrain.
		Taiwanese people as young as 30 years old can often recall their childhoods in which there was not enough rice to go around--so sweet potatoes or taro roots had to be used as a supplement making a soupy rice in order to fill everyone's bowl.
		Taiwanese cuisine on the whole tends to be less spicy than Szechuan in the west but more spicy than food from northern China.

		Like them, Taiwanese dissident were fighting for very basic human rights, and it was imperative for their survival and the survival of the Taiwanese people that they rock the boat.
		One of the Taiwanese graduate students here at UC Berkeley in the early 1970s who took up this lead to help form the Berkeley chapter of the Taiwanese Students Association was Keelung Hong, who is a good friend of the Berkeley students who put on this conference.
		Taiwan's political achievements were bought and paid for by the blood of the murdered dissidents and their families, by the courage of those who dared speak up for justice, and by the spouses and children of political leaders and activists who had to devote much of their time and energy to the movement.

		Taiwanese people certainly are not going to just allow the Communists to rule over them now.
		The people that are considered Taiwanese now have been in Taiwan for hundreds of years already, as early as the Yuan Dynasty as seasonal workers, and throughout the early parts of the Ching dynasty.
		Of course this also implies that a lot of the people that are born crippled, poor, or even get murdered by others were bearing the consequences of their karma.

	Talking Taiwanese: Taiwan and Spain: a language comparison
		Taiwanese and Galician were officially prohibited up to the late seventies, but everyday use was allowed in the home and the marketplace.
		The poorer and richer Galicians / Taiwanese are still influenced by the mistaken belief, popularized by Franco and the old KMT respectively, that their mother tongues were “only” a dialect of Spanish / Mandarin, while in fact, Spanish (Castilian) itself is a dialect of Hispanic languages, and Mandarin one dialect of the Han languages.
		In Taiwan, Taiwanese is spoken in most parts of the island, with the exception of the central mountain range, as well as Hsinchu county and the central-western seaboard.

	Taiwan and China
		Likewise, I think Taiwanese people should accept their Chinese ancestry and stop discriminating against those who are from the mainland, because being Taiwanese should not preclude one's Chinese identity.
		People who shout for 'Taiwan Independence' at this point in time are myopic in their views and in no way represent the majority of people in Taiwan.
		The so-called "white terror" was brought down not only on the Taiwanese in Taiwan but almost all the Chinese in mainland (while the KMT ruled there), and was an act by the warlord Chiang Kai-Shek after he took over the party, and not an act of terror brought to the Taiwanese by mainlanders.

	ESL Cafe's Job Information Journal My 12 observations about Taiwan (deep)
		Taiwanese women do not see me as Taiwanese (since I don't share their language, culture, mentality, behaviors, or vibes) or as an American (since I'm not white).
		In contrast, in Taiwan people think it is ok for someone who barely knows or understands you to lecture you and tell you what to do with your life, giving advice where it's not asked for.
		But Taiwanese people seem to have no problem doing that, and feel they are doing you good, even if they don't know anything about you.

	Taiwanese language and pronunciation
		Taiwanese is a dialect of Mĭn Nán (Southern Min) spoken in Taiwan.
		The ancestors of the majority of Taiwanese people came from the southern part of Fùjiàn province and their language is very similar to the language of that region, particular to the dialect of Xiàmén.
		Until the 1980s use of the Taiwanese language was banned in schools and the number of Taiwanese programmes on the radio and television was restricted.

	Random Thoughts...: Taiwanese?
		So my answer back to them was, "What do you mean by Taiwanese?" Of course, this was not the answer people were expecting so I had to explain the difference between BSR (within-province people or what the "Taiwanese" call themselves) and WSR (outside-province people), and a brief primer on modern Chinese history.
		I'm not 100% sure but I think they consider you "Taiwanese" if you came to Taiwan island before 1945 or one of your parents are Taiwanese if you're born in Taiwan after 1949.
		However, when they say they're not Chinese, I think that's stupid since "Taiwanese" people are either originally from Fukien or Hakka, unless you're the "native" Taiwanese who are more related to Filipino or Indonesian/Malay people.

	Taiwanese protest China law - The Boston Globe
		In Taipei, nearly a million people rallied against China’s new law authorizing an attack on Taiwan if it were to secede.
		The rally, which organizers said drew 1 million people but police estimated at less than half that number, was as much about gaining foreign support as it was about rallying Taiwanese.
		Taiwanese lawmakers and government officials said the next move is up to Beijing.

	Taiwanese, Mandarin, and Taiwan's language situation
		We shall examine the processes whereby Taiwanese children are weaned away from their mother tongue and acquire in its stead a second language for the purpose of becoming literate.
		Now that the people of Taiwan have taken political control into their own hands, there is a tremendous amount of energy directed toward the establishment of written Taiwanese, but no functional models have been created to actualize such hopes.
		After the Second World War, when the backward peoples of Africa were liberated from the colonial oppression of the European imperialist countries, because they only had languages but no scripts, they had to promote the "transformation into written language" of their native tongues to strive for survival in modern, civilized societies.

	Foreign Policy In Focus \| Taiwan's Independence
		The issue that the Taiwanese people have to decide is how their wish not to be ruled by China is to be reconciled with the Chinese claim that Taiwan is politically part of China.
		I hear people say this all the time, but in theory, if people of California (as a long-time resident of Los Angeles and a proud Taiwanese, not Chinese) wants to be independent, they have the right to exert their rights to self-determination.
		People in Taiwan have to face the reality that there are so many problems on the island to be solved before they venture any further into the future.

	The Epoch Times \| How the Chinese Communist Regime Entraps Taiwanese Businessmen
		Some people have asked me, "There are still Catholic and other Christian churches in China?" I said, "Yes, but those are controlled by the Chinese communist regime and are not associated with the Vatican." These so-called "Three Selves Churches" are different from churches in other countries.
		If the Taiwanese businessman acknowledges that he knows somebody in the church, he will be asked to take a group photo with the people of the local church when he returns to Taiwan and to mail the photo back.
		However, unless the Taiwanese businessmen are determined to give up all their assets in China, they don't dare to summon a press conference in Taiwan to expose the traps.

	How Chinese are the Taiwanese ?
		Often forgotten is the Taiwanese people's entitlement to choose their own nation free from fear of force.
		Though seemingly obvious, the belief that the 21 million Taiwanese people should ultimately decide their own fate is not entrenched in the current framework for debate.
		Supporters of the Taiwanese cause and well-meaning Congressmen and Senators have been equally as susceptible to the belif that the China-Taiwan conflict is purely a Chinese disagreement and an internal, not universal issue.

	White Paper Regarding Taiwan and its Future
		During the past decade, the people on the island of Taiwan, with the support of the overseas Taiwanese community, have transformed the island from a repressive one-party dictatorship to a blossoming multi-party democracy.
		Initially, the Taiwanese were glad to get rid of the Japanese, but soon their joy turned into sorrow and anger: the newcomers from China turned out to be corrupt and repressive, looting the island and treating the Taiwanese as conquered, second-class citizens.
		The people of Taiwan have achieved a remarkable transition from a repressive regime under the Kuomintang to a free and vibrant democracy at present.
