Talk:Edward Yang
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Chinese vs. Taiwanese
The category "Chinese film directors" is supposed to be for "mainland" directors. Since there's already a Taiwanese film directors cat. (which Hou is in), I've removed the category for "Chinese film director". Even though Yang was born in Shanghai, I think that he is consistantly seen as a "Taiwanese" director in that Taiwan cinema and Chinese (mainland) cinema can be seen as distinct entities.
- I don't recall the Wikipedia policy specifically noted that the category of "Chinese film directors" can only refer to mainland Chinese directors (and exclude Taiwanese film directors). I think the category should be fine, since he was born in Shanghai, China. --67.2.149.153 06:40, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
