  Isn't there a small subsection of their population that are actually indigenous Taiwanese that aren't the same folks that ran from the mainland?
context: Those two countries (China and India) make up 35% of the entire planet's population.  That's crazy. >
  
  And 70% of downtown Toronto! >
  
  There's a lot of Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh in that. >
  
  Nah man, there is only Chinese and Indian.  If you are Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese, Pilipino, Thai, you are all Chinese.  If you are Sri Lankan, Pakistani, Bangladeshis, then you are all Indian. >
  
  Taiwanese are actually really chinese ethnically, same language, same culture, etc >

  He’s right, but the Taiwanese don’t like being associated with the communists up north, to such an extreme degree that they don’t consider themselves Chinese.
  Even though that’s not true at all, period.
  Cultural difference is about on the same level as Russia and Ukraine, which is to say… not too different.
  Only significant difference is in political philosophy.
