  • Taiwanese Americans or American people of Taiwanese descent are Americans of Taiwanese ancestry. Americans born in Taiwan whose ancestors immigrated to Taiwan in the 1940s are sometimes called Taiwanese Americans. Whether Taiwanese Americans should be considered Chinese Americans is a subject of some controversy. Supporters of Taiwan independence often object to classification of Taiwanese Americans as Chinese Americans and overseas Chinese, while advocates of Chinese reunification often object if Taiwanese Americans are not included in these groups. The controversy over the inclusion or exclusion of Taiwanese Americans as Chinese has extended to the name of the government bureau of the Republic of China handling Taiwanese Americans affairs which was controversially changed in 2006 from the Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission to the Overseas Compatriot Affairs Commission. Demographic research tends to include immigrants from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan as well as overseas Chinese who have immigrated from South East Asia into the broadly-defined Chinese American category as both the governments of the Republic of China and the United States account for Taiwanese Americans as a subgroup of Chinese Americans (as ethnic Chinese, not Chinese that alludes to the statehood of China). In a statement made by Representative Kleczka in 2001, he stated that there are around 500,000 Taiwanese Americans. The 2007 American Community Survey estimated that there are 100,608 Taiwanese Americans, with an error margin of 8,501.
