Is it really nessecary to single out mainlanders? I figure you're either Taiwanese or you're not. It's not as if List of people from California marks people by ethnicity. If you want to avoid the whole POV issue might I also suggest renaming this "List of people from Taiwan"?-Loren 08:50, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
- Some Mainlanders do not consider themselves Taiwanese while other Mainlanders do, while some people consider Mainlanders to be Taiwanese while other people don't. The question of Taiwanese identity gets ambiguous here. You can be Taiwanese when it is socially / politically advantagious by saying you've lived in Taiwan your entire life, or you can take out your old ROC ID card/passport and claim to be Hunanese/Shandonese/etc. because your parents were Hunanese/Shandonese/etc. Some of these people on this list arent necessarily "from Taiwan" since they fled to Taiwan. I always thought that to be "from" somewhere you had to "go" somewhere first. --Jiang 07:41, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
