    Well, to me that difference matters. You have the privilege of not having to care. The more people make it seem like Taiwan and China is the same thing, the less they gonna care when China does what Russia did to Ukraine.

    Latin american artists are huge in Spain and they sing in spanish...yet nobody would call J Balvin a "spanish artist"

    A lot of Jay Chou’s stuff is dated like other 2000s rnb/hiphop from production choices that seem a little tacky these days but he’s still goated

    first off, yk what the taiwanese passport says on it? it says republic of CHINA.

    Second, what does it mean to be chinese? being chinese is both a matter of ethnicity and nationality. Even if Taiwan didn't officially label itself as Chinese, the people who live there would still be overwhelmingly ethnically Chinese (like jay chou, for example)

    It's not even technically incorrect to call someone from Taiwan Chinese, I mean these only became two separate things like 70 yrs ago. Most Taiwanese self identify as Chinese anyway.

    This isn't just me saying s*** either

    The point of all this is that saying "Jay Chou isn't Chinese" is not only technically incorrect but also pointlessly pedantic. Yes I get the symbolism of calling him taiwanese and not chinese bc of Taiwan's independence movement, that's why I changed the title. But still, it's pretty annoying to act like I was very wrong in saying he was Chinese

    also, given the fact that his music is all in Chinese, I think it's more helpful to just say Chinese in the title.

    The taiwanese passport says "Taiwan passport". It used to say Republic of China though.

    The majority of people here don't identify as "chinese". As a matter of fact, you would get corrected for a calling a person "chinese" here. But of course you're right in a way, since the ethnicity and language are the same.
