Migration history
The Manchu people living in Taiwan arrived primarily in two waves of migration. The first wave was during the Qing Dynasty period. During this period, the Manchu-led government annexed Taiwan into the Qing Empire.[1] The second wave was immediately following the Chinese Civil War, when the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan. As of 2009, there are about 12,000 Manchu people living in Taiwan.[2]
