Not really, but Taiwan uses ethnic groups instead of nationalities. The Southern Fujian chauvinists divide the Han people into three ethnic groups: people from other provinces, Hakkas, and Southern Fujianese. Only the extremely xenophobic Southern Fujianese can do this.
This is a long story. It starts with the Hakkas bringing the Hokkien people to Taiwan. The Hakkas brought Zheng Chenggong’s army to Taiwan to fight the Netherlands. Zheng’s army consisted of a certain proportion of Hokkien people. Later, Fujian people fled to Taiwan on a large scale because of the fighting with weapons, triggering the fighting with weapons in Taiwan
In ancient times, the people of southern Fujian fought in the eastern and western areas of Fujian with fighting weapons, fighting with weapons between Quan and Zhang, etc. Many people went to Taiwan because of fighting with weapons. After that, fighting between Fujian and Guangdong broke out in Taiwan. During the Chiang period, there were also conflicts between the Hokkien people and the newly arrived people from other provinces in Taiwan. The Hokkien people immigrated to Nanyang and a fight broke out between the Hokkien tide in Singapore
Taiwanese people used to use a dichotomy between other provinces and this province. They advocated that this province spoke Hokkien (Taiwanese, Taiwanese), and Taiwanese spoke their mother's language. Hokkien is Taiwanese, Taiwanese. People in this province speak Hokkien. Later, the Hakka people demonstrated and the aborigines also demonstrated. They had to abandon the dichotomy and adopt the 4-dichotomy method. The concept of ethnic group was used to replace the nation, other provinces, Hakka, aborigines, and southern Fujian.
Fujian, Cantonese, Mainland, Original, and New
Look at Taiwanese paintings of ethnic groups holding hands. The five groups of people from southern Fujian, Hakka, people from other provinces, aborigines, and new residents hold hands together. ,
Mainland paintings depict 56 ethnic groups holding hands, 56 groups, which are not counted in the mainland.
So in the case of Taiwan, the Minnan people are not considered to be one ethnic group on the surface, but they are actually one. nationality. Replacing the nation with the ethnic group is a dirty trick.
