Ethnic Chinese, Taiwanese oppose Bush re-election

The telephone poll organized by New California Media is the first nationwide multilingual survey to target Americans of ethnic Chinese origin, estimated at 2.8 million in the 2000 census.

Ethnic Chinese make up only 14% of the population of Taiwan. The headline is misleading because it implies that it surveyed ethnic Taiwanese, -- but it did not.

The far majority of Taiwanese are ethnically Chinese. The Taiwanese dialects (there are two of them, I believe) are similar to Cantonese and Chinese dialect from Fujin province.

The 14% you mentioned may be the new Chinese immigrants who moved to Taiwan after the 1949 communist victory on mainland China.
