Manchu people in Taiwan
Appearance
The Manchu people in Taiwan constitute a small minority of the population of Taiwan.
Migration history
[edit]The Manchu people living in Taiwan arrived primarily in two waves of migration. The first wave was during the Qing dynasty era, in which the Manchu-led government annexed Taiwan into the Qing Empire.[1] The second wave was immediately following the Chinese Civil War, when the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan. As of 2009[update], there are about 12,000 Manchu people living in Taiwan.[2]
