You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.170.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 July 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

In 1949, the [[Chinese Communist Party]] took control of [[mainland China]], and 2 million refugees, predominantly from the Republic of China (ROC) Nationalist government, military, and business community, fled to Taiwan. From 1949 up until 1979, the United States recognized the [[Kuomintang]]-led ROC as the sole legitimate government of China. As a result, immigration from Taiwan was counted under within the same quota for both mainland China and Taiwan. However, because the [[People's Republic of China]] (PRC) banned emigration to the United States until 1977, the quota for immigrants from China was almost exclusively filled by immigrants from Taiwan. In 1979, the United States broke diplomatic relations with the ROC, while the [[Taiwan Relations Act]] gave Taiwan a separate immigration quota from that of the PRC.

Before the late 1960s, immigrants from Taiwan to the United States tended to be "[[waishengren|mainland Chinese]]" who had immigrated to Taiwan with the Kuomintang (KMT) after the fall of mainland China to the Communists. Later immigrants tended to increasingly be Taiwanese ''benshengren'', or Han Taiwanese whose ancestors had already lived in Taiwan before 1949. Taiwanese immigration to the United States began to subside in the early-1980s due to improving economic and political conditions in Taiwan.

Financial and [[socioeconomic status|socioeconomic opportunities]] offered by the United States have lifted many Taiwanese Americans out of poverty, joining the ranks of the America's [[Upper middle class in the United States|middle and upper middle class]]. Estimates indicate that a disproportionate percentage of Taiwanese students attend elite universities despite constituting less than 0.5% of the U.S. population. Taiwanese Americans have the highest education attainment level in the United States, surpassing any other ethnic group in the country, according to U.S Census Bureau data released in 2010. According to the 2010 Labor Statistics from U.S. Census Bureau, 73.6% of all Taiwanese Americans have attained a bachelor's degree or higher.  (Compared to 28.2% nationally and 49.9% for all [[Asian American]] groups). 80.0% of Taiwanese American men attained a bachelor's degree and 68.3% of Taiwanese American women attained a bachelor's degree. 39.1% of all Taiwanese in the United States possess a master's, doctorate or other professional degree, nearly four times the national average.<ref>((cite web|author=American FactFinder, United States Census Bureau |url=http://factfinder.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=ACS_10_1YR_S0201&prodType=table |archive-url=https://archive.today/20200212213701/http://factfinder.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=ACS_10_1YR_S0201&prodType=table |url-status=dead |archive-date=2020-02-12 |title=United States - Selected Population Profile in the United States (Asian alone) |publisher=Factfinder.census.gov |access-date=2011-12-26))</ref><ref name="census1">((cite web|author=American FactFinder, United States Census Bureau |url=http://factfinder.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=ACS_10_1YR_S0201&prodType=table |archive-url=https://archive.today/20200212213701/http://factfinder.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=ACS_10_1YR_S0201&prodType=table |url-status=dead |archive-date=2020-02-12 |title=United States - Selected Population Profile in the United States (Taiwanese alone) |publisher=Factfinder.census.gov |access-date=2011-12-26))</ref>

=== Employment ===
Many Taiwanese Americans work as [[White-collar worker|white collar professionals]], many of whom are highly educated, salaried professionals whose work is largely self-directed in management, professional and related occupations such as engineering, medicine, investment banking, law, and academia. 66.2% of Taiwanese Americans work in many white collar professions compared to 35.9% for the general American population and 48.1% for Asian Americans. 71.3% of Taiwanese men and 60.4% of Taiwanese women work in management, professional, and related occupations. They also hold some of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation with a figure of 4.3% compared to a national rate of 6.9%.<ref name="census1"/> Some of the prominent technology companies in the United States have been founded by Taiwanese Americans such as [[Morris Chang]] (founder of [[TSMC]]), [[Min Kao]] (co-founder of [[Garmin]]), [[Jerry Yang (entrepreneur)|Jerry Yang]] (co-founder of [[Yahoo]]), [[Steve Chen]] (co-founder of [[YouTube]]), [[Jen-Hsun Huang]] (co-founder of [[Nvidia]]), [[William Wang]] (founder of [[Vizio]]), [[Greg Tseng]] (co-founder of [[Tagged (website)|Tagged]]) and James Chu (founder of [[Viewsonic]]).

=== Economics ===
According to the 2009 [[U.S. Census]], Taiwanese American men had one of "the highest year-round, full-time median earnings" with a figure of $76,587, while Taiwanese American women had a median income of $51,307. Taiwanese Americans have one of the lowest poverty rates in the US, with a poverty rate of 9.5% compared to 11.3% for the general American population.<ref name="census1"/>

== Settlement ==
((unreferenced section|date=February 2019))
Many Taiwanese immigrants have not settled in the old Chinatowns because they do not speak [[Yue Chinese|Cantonese]]. Instead, they have generally immigrated directly to American [[suburb]]ia and as a result, new suburban Taiwanese communities were formed. For example, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Taiwanese emigrants were instrumental in the development of [[Monterey Park, California]] in Los Angeles  - resulting in the moniker of "Little Taipei" - as well as [[Chinatown, Flushing|Flushing, Queens]], which generally reflected new investments and capital flowing from Taiwan into newer Taiwanese enclaves instead of traditional Chinatowns.

While Monterey Park is no longer the largest Taiwanese community in Los Angeles today, Flushing remains the main Taiwanese cultural, commercial, and political center in New York City. In Los Angeles County, California, newer communities such as [[Rowland Heights, California|Rowland Heights]], [[Hacienda Heights, California|Hacienda Heights]], [[Arcadia, California|Arcadia]], [[San Marino, California|San Marino]], [[Diamond Bar, California|Diamond Bar]], [[Walnut, California|Walnut]], [[San Gabriel, California|San Gabriel]], [[Temple City, California|Temple City]], are similar to "''Little Taipei.''"  However, many annual Taiwanese cultural events (especially during Taiwanese Heritage Week) are still held in Monterey Park.  As an attempt to duplicate the Taiwanese success of Monterey Park in Houston, Texas, Taiwanese immigrant entrepreneurs established what is now widely considered as [[Chinatown, Houston|Houston's new Chinatown]] on Bellaire Boulevard in the mid-1980s. A number of Taiwanese American businesses and organizations still operate and flourish in this part of Houston.

The prestige and performance of particular school districts, as well as access to careers in high-tech firms, have played a significant part in influencing the settlement patterns of Taiwanese Americans. Areas with high concentrations of Taiwanese immigrants include the [[San Gabriel Valley]] (Greater Los Angeles), [[Santa Clara Valley]] ([[Cupertino, California|Cupertino]], [[San Jose, California|San Jose]]), East Bay ([[Dublin, California|Dublin]], [[Pleasanton, California|Pleasanton]], [[El Cerrito, California|El Cerrito]], [[Oakland, California|Oakland]]), Los Angeles/Orange County border communities ([[Cerritos, California|Cerritos]]/[[Artesia, California|Artesia]]), and [[Irvine, California|Irvine]] in Central [[Orange County, California|Orange County]]. Outside of California, there are also major Taiwanese concentrations in [[Flushing, Queens|Flushing]], [[Long Island City]], and [[Forest Hills, Queens|Forest Hills]], all within [[Queens]]; [[Nassau County, New York|Nassau County]] on [[Long Island]]; [[Jersey City, New Jersey|Jersey City]] and [[Hoboken, New Jersey|Hoboken]] in nearby [[New Jersey]]; [[Rockville, Maryland]] (northwest of [[Washington, D.C.]]); [[Sugar Land, Texas]] (near [[Houston]]), [[Plano, Texas]] (near [[Dallas]]); [[Bellevue, Washington]] (and adjacent areas) (part of the Greater [[Seattle]] Area's "Eastside" communities) and [[Chandler, Arizona]]. Additionally, the northeastern suburbs of the [[Atlanta, Georgia]] area has also received a significant influx of Taiwanese immigrant residents.

From the middle of the 1980s to the 1990s, large numbers of affluent Taiwanese Americans began moving out to upscale neighborhoods such as [[Cupertino, California|Cupertino]], [[San Mateo, California|San Mateo]], [[Palo Alto, California|Palo Alto]], [[Fremont, California|Fremont]], [[Newark, California|Newark]], and [[Pleasanton, California|Pleasanton]] in the [[San Francisco Bay Area|Bay Area]]; [[San Marino, California|San Marino]], [[Arcadia, California|Arcadia]], [[South Pasadena, California|South Pasadena]], and [[Temple City, California|Temple City]] in Western [[San Gabriel Valley]]; [[Hacienda Heights, California|Hacienda Heights]], [[Rowland Heights, California|Rowland Heights]], [[Walnut, California|Walnut]], and [[Diamond Bar, California|Diamond Bar]] in Eastern [[San Gabriel Valley]]; with immigrants from the [[People's Republic of China]] and [[Cantonese people|Cantonese]] and [[Teochew people|Teochew]] (mostly from [[Vietnam]]) taking their place in Monterey Park, as well as [[Alhambra, California|Alhambra]]. Starting in the 2000s, highly educated [[Nassau County, New York|Nassau County]] on [[Long Island]] east of New York City, as well as suburbs in [[North Jersey|northern]] and [[Central Jersey|central New Jersey]], have received a large influx of Taiwanese immigrants.

[[Albuquerque, New Mexico]] suburbs have a moderately sized Taiwanese population. 

Similarly, for the past 10 years, Taiwanese have been immigrating to upscale neighborhoods in Los Angeles and Orange County such as [[Cerritos, California|Cerritos]] and [[Irvine, California|Irvine]] respectively. Cerritos is located in Los Angeles County but borders Orange County and has a large diversity of Asian immigrants. Irvine has a very large Taiwanese population. The Irvine Chinese School, which serves mostly the American-born children of Taiwanese immigrants, is one of the largest Chinese-language schools in the Orange County area.

Taiwanese-oriented strip malls and shopping complexes are typically complete with supermarkets and restaurants. In addition, shops offering imported Taiwanese goods allow for young Taiwanese [[expatriate]]s in the United States to keep up with the current trends and [[popular culture]] of Taiwan.  Taiwanese Americans have also brought with them [[Taiwanese cuisine]] to the communities they have settled, which, possibly excluding [[bubble tea]], is not generally well known or served outside these aforementioned Taiwanese immigrant enclaves.

== First generation immigrants and later generations ==
First and [[Second-generation immigrants in the United States|second generation immigrant]]s from Taiwan usually share a common language, [[Mandarin Chinese|Mandarin]]. However, many also speak [[Taiwanese Hokkien]], and to a lesser extent, [[Hakka language|Hakka]]. Many first-generation immigrants educated before 1945 speak [[Japanese language|Japanese]] as their second [[native language]]. As with most immigrants to the United States, linguistic fluency in the [[heritage language]] quickly disappears in the second generation. Immigrants whose families are from the [[Taipei metropolitan area]] usually speak Mandarin as their primary language. There are many first-generation Taiwanese immigrants of full Hakka heritage who speak all three languages. Some Taiwanese Americans of mixed Hoklo and Hakka Heritage speak only Mandarin as their primary language.

=== Organizations ===
Organizations geared towards Taiwanese Americans include the [[Formosan Association for Public Affairs]] (FAPA), [[North America Taiwanese Professors Association]] (NATPA), [[Taiwanese American Citizens League]] (TACL), [[Taiwanese American Professionals]] (TAP) and [[ITASA|Intercollegiate Taiwanese American Students Association (ITASA)]]. In addition, most cities with concentrations of Taiwanese Americans have a Taiwanese association or [[Taiwan Center]].

The first Taiwanese church in North America, the [[Winfield Reformed Church]] in [[Woodside, Queens|Woodside]], [[Queens]], in New York City, was established in 1969.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.winfieldreformedchurch.org/history|title=教會歷史 – 紐約恩惠歸正教會 Winfield Reformed Church|website=Winfieldreformedchurch.org|access-date=9 January 2018|archive-date=10 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180110055009/http://www.winfieldreformedchurch.org/history|url-status=live))</ref>

In 1986, [[Chaotian Temple]] from Taiwan has also established a [[Fenxiang|branch temple]] known as [[Ma-Tsu Temple (San Francisco, California)|Ma-Tsu Temple]] in [[Chinatown, San Francisco|San Francisco Chinatown]] with the support of Taiwanese American community.<ref>((Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rPGtIVIERA4C&q=mazu+%22Beckett+Street%22&pg=PA171|title=Religion at the Corner of Bliss and Nirvana: Politics, Identity, and Faith in New Migrant Communities|last1=Lorentzen|first1=Lois Ann|last2=Gonzalez|first2=Joaquin Jay|last3=Chun|first3=Kevin M.|last4=Do|first4=Hien Duc|date=2010-07-01|publisher=Duke University Press|isbn=978-0822391166|access-date=2021-03-12|archive-date=2021-03-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210326131005/https://www.google.com/books/edition/Religion_at_the_Corner_of_Bliss_and_Nirv/rPGtIVIERA4C?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=mazu+%22Beckett+Street%22&pg=PA171&printsec=frontcover|url-status=live))</ref>

=== Media ===
Taiwanese Americans also run several of North America's major Chinese-language newspapers, such as the ''[[World Journal]]'' based in Queens; and the Chicago Chinese News. However, these influential and highly circulated newspapers are not geared solely to Taiwanese immigrants, but also serve a broader Chinese-speaking immigrant readership.  ''[[Pacific Journal]]'' is a weekly Taiwanese-run newspaper that is geared more exclusively toward Taiwanese readers.

Due to the significant Taiwanese American community, Taiwanese media dominates the Chinese-language airwaves in the United States.  Cable and satellite television of Taiwan-based media keeps Taiwanese Americans abreast of news developments and programming in Taiwan. For example, satellite stations [[ETTV America]] and [[Chung T'ien Television|CTI]] cater to Mandarin-speaking Taiwanese immigrants.

==Taiwanese nationality and residency==

In the 1960s, many Taiwanese Americans chose to make America their permanent home and had children in the U.S. Most sought refuge from the numerous arrests and executions during the [[White Terror (Taiwan)|White Terror]] era of the [[Kuomintang|KMT]], the political party which had [[dictatorship|dictatorially]] ruled the country. By the late 1970s, improving economic conditions in Taiwan slowed the rate of immigration. During the 1990s, political [[liberalism|liberalization]] in Taiwan encouraged many who had left Taiwan for political reasons to return.

Although the [[Oath of Allegiance (United States)|oath of naturalization]] of the United States contains a statement renouncing "allegiance and fidelity" to other countries, the Republic of China (the formal name of Taiwan) does not recognize this renunciation as sufficient for the termination of ROC nationality, and requires a person who wishes to renounce ROC nationality to take another oath before an ROC consular officer. All renunciations are subject to approval from the [[Ministry of the Interior (Republic of China)|Ministry of the Interior]],<ref>Article 11 of the [[Nationality Law of the Republic of China]].</ref> and the Ministry may deny a person's application under Taiwanese law.<ref>Articles 12 and 13 of the [[Nationality Law of the Republic of China]].</ref> Without formal renunciation, the ROC government considers its emigrants with American citizenship to continue to be nationals of the ROC. Acquiring US citizenship has no effect on the holder's status as a national of ROC, which makes Taiwan-born Americans still eligible to vote in the ROC elections, provided that their household registration is still intact in Taiwan.

Unlike their Taiwan-born parents, the American-born second generation do not have [[Household registration in Taiwan|household registration]] in Taiwan at birth, making them [[nationals without household registration]] (NWOHRs), despite the fact that they are also ROC nationals under Taiwanese law. In contrast with those with household registration in Taiwan, NWOHRs cannot receive a [[National Identification Card (Republic of China)|Taiwanese National Identification Card]], do not have right of abode in Taiwan, and are subject to immigration control while in Taiwan.<ref>((cite web|url=http://law.moj.gov.tw/Eng/LawClass/LawAll.aspx?PCode=D0080132|title=Laws & Regulations Database of The Republic of China|website=law.moj.gov.tw|access-date=9 January 2018|archive-date=10 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180710215056/https://law.moj.gov.tw/Eng/LawClass/LawAll.aspx?PCode=D0080132|url-status=live))</ref> They are, however, eligible for a [[Taiwan passport]]. It is possible for NWOHRs to be registered as nationals with household registration (NWHRs) if they meet the requirements listed under the Immigration Act of Taiwan.

== Connection to politics of Taiwan and cultural ties ==
((Multiple issues|section=Connection to politics of Taiwan|
((more citations needed|date=June 2023))
((original research|date=June 2023))
))

Some Taiwanese Americans play an active role in the politics and culture of Taiwan, aided in large part by recognition of [[dual citizenship]]. The identity politics of Taiwan also influences at least first generation Taiwanese Americans. Many government officials, including presidents [[Tsai Ing-wen]], [[Ma Ying-jeou]], and [[Lee Teng-hui]], have received graduate degrees in the United States. The United States was also a major destination for anti-KMT figures such as [[Peng Ming-min]] and [[Chai Trong-rong]], where they were politically exiled. Others, including Nobel Prize laureate [[Yuan T. Lee]] were educated in the United States.

The close connection between Taiwan and the United States has led to some interesting political dynamics. From time to time, the issue of loyalty to Taiwan is raised – for example, in 2008, during his successful Presidential campaign, the fact that [[Ma Ying-Jeou]] has sisters and a daughter who are American citizens was criticized. Prominent party chairman [[James Soong]] has been criticized for having extensive property holdings in the United States and for the fact that his children are American citizens. Several legislators and government officials in the KMT have been controversially alleged to have permanent U.S. residency status or U.S. citizenship without renouncement while serving in public office. Similarly, loyalty was raised as an issue in the feud between [[Li Ao]] and [[Yuan T. Lee]], whose children are also American citizens. This issue is partly one of socio-economic status as Taiwanese with extensive connections within the United States are considered wealthier and more privileged than the average Taiwanese.

However, this issue has not become a large part of Taiwanese political discourse, largely because links with the United States are so extensive on both sides of the political spectrum that no one can use this issue to gain a significant political advantage. Both the [[pan-Blue coalition]] and [[pan-Green coalition]] rely on Taiwanese Americans for votes. In the [[2004 ROC Presidential Election]], both coalitions campaigned extensively in the United States. An estimated 10,000 Taiwanese Americans traveled to Taiwan to vote in the election. In the [[2020 Taiwanese presidential election]], tens of thousands of Taiwanese Americans traveled to Taiwan to vote in the election.<ref>((Cite news |last1=Chang |first1=Cindy |last2=Do |first2=Anh |title=L.A.-area residents flock to Taiwan to vote in 'do or die' presidential election |work=[[Los Angeles Times]] |url=https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-01-10/california-residents-vote-taiwanese-presidential-election |access-date=7 August 2022))</ref>

While [[dual citizen]]s are banned from high political office,<ref>Article 20 of the [[Nationality Law of the Republic of China]].</ref> there has not been a significant movement within Taiwan to ban dual citizenship in general. Taiwan's [[Supreme Court of the Republic of China|Supreme Court]] has ruled that all citizens, dual or singular, are entitled to the same rights. [[US natural born citizen|US natural born citizens]] were included in the decision.((Citation needed|date=October 2008))
