A self-governing island country that was formerly a province of China.
Taiwan is full of nice food, nice people, nice vibes. Without having been to China, I couldn’t help but see Taiwanese people as a generally more cultured and more friendly version of Chinese people. While they might Taiwanese and Chinese may be culturally and geographically similar, they most definitely see themselves as different and do have enough distinctions between each other.
As an American, I would also say that Taiwanese have a less favorable attitude towards mainland China and more favorable attitude towards America. (That’s for when comparing attitudes between Taiwanese and Chinese people.)
