Taiwanese Americans

Taiwanese Americans () are Americans of Taiwanese descent. This includes American-born citizens who descend from migrants from Taiwan. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, 49% of people who consider themselves Taiwanese live in the state of California. New York and Texas have the second and third largest Taiwanese American populations, respectively.〔
== Immigration history ==
Prior to the 1950s emigration from Taiwan (then called Formosa) was negligible. Back in 1600, 98% of the population on the island was Austronesian aboriginals. Dutch occupied southwestern Taiwan between 1624 and 1662. While Spanish occupied northwest Taiwan between 1626 and 1642. In the 17th and 18th centuries it served as a destination point for migrating Han Chinese, primarily Hoklo and Hakka Chinese from Fujian and Guangdong. Due to the policy of Ching Dynasty, it prohibited women and children from emigrating to Taiwan, therefore, the marriage between Han Chinese man immigrants and woman Indigenes is natural and necessary. From recent DNA test, it shows that 85% of current Taiwan population has the mix of indigenes and Han Chinese heritage. In 1895, pursuant to the Treaty of Shimonoseki between the Qing Empire and Empire of Japan, full sovereignty over Taiwan was ceded in perpetuity to Japan.
In 1945, Japanese rule ended due to Japan's loss in World War II. 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.
Because of the Cold War, the United States continued to recognize the Kuomintang-led ROC as the sole legitimate government of all of China from 1949 until 1979. 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, this quota for immigrants from China was almost exclusively filled by immigrants from Taiwan. After the national origins system was relaxed and repealed by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 and 1965, many Taiwanese people came to the United States, forming the first wave of Taiwanese immigration. Their entry into the United States was facilitated by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which created a system in which persons with professional skills and family ties in the United States were given preferential status, regardless of the nation of origin.
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 "mainland Chinese" who had immigrated to Taiwan with the Kuomintang after the fall of mainland China to the Communists. Later immigrants tended to increasingly be native Taiwanese, whose ancestors had lived on Taiwan before 1949. With improving economic and political conditions in Taiwan, Taiwanese immigration to the United States began to subside in the early-1980s.
