BTW you talking about other people's mother's vaginas shows off your analytical skills very well correct? If I am a high school senior as you claim because I refer to your YouTube channel, then by your own logic what does you talking about other people's mother's vagina make you?
(I refer to your YouTube channel because that's the piece of information I have on you IRL. You really do look like a little f@g in those videos...)
Seriously you seem like someone nearly fresh out of business school, and yet you claim to "own" a business and "live in China." So by adding those two facts together with the fact that you're a white person, it's very obvious that you cannot be successful and therefore are just a loser.
But since you missed out on recruiting while you were still doing your MBA to join a respectable firm, now it's too late for you and you are pretty much screwed for life.
I know you're an American HKer... my previous question was rhetorical.
"but from the few Taiwanese I know, they do identify with China, but not the PRC China."
Have you gotten to know these people in the US or in Asia? In the US all ethinically Chinese people are just Chinese. (Chinatown serves the overseas mainland, HK, TW, SG, multi-gen overseas community equally, and there is mostly no distinction)
But the posters above tried to claim Mr. Lin as 'Taiwanese' BUT NOT 'Chinese' which is something that is factually incorrect. Rather they should have said that he was 'Taiwanese' MORE than he is 'Chinese', which would have been a correct statement.
"But consider that he says 'I am Chinese' precisely because he's American. If he were speaking in Mandarin I bet he'd say I am Hua Ren (ethnically); but if asked whether he is Zhong Guo Ren ('Chinese') or Taiwan Ren, which do you think he would choose?"
But again that's not the issue here. My point is that Mr. Lin himself identifies himself as 'Chinese', and the fact that he identifies himself with 'Taiwanese' more does not change this fact. Again if you said that Mr. Lin was an American Taiwanese Chinese, then I would have had no issue, but saying that he is Taiwanese but not Chinese is insulting to Mr. Lin himself and makes about as much sense as saying he is an American but not Taiwanese or a Christian but not Taiwanese.
(He identifies himself as American and Christian much more than he does with either Taiwanese or Chinese)
ALso Mr. Lin is an ABC who hangs out with mainland people such as Yao Ming and probably does not care about the TW-mainland squabbles much. Remember in America all Chinese are (pretty much) the same, and to most non-Asian all Asians are pretty much the same. So stop trying to claim him as "Taiwanese only" in your TW-mainland squabbles, as such actions are insulting to Mr. Lin and just petty.
But that's not the point. I never said whether HKers identifies themselves as MORE HK people or Chinese people, but rather that they identifies themselves as Chinese at all.
I think 98%+ of ABCs (Mr. Lin included) would identify themselves as 'American' over 'Chinese', but that are still Chinese.
HK people do something similar to ABCs but to a lesser degree. Taiwanese in contrast do not identify themselves as 'Chinese' AT ALL.
Actually, according to that survey you refer to, 60%+ (forgot the exact number) of HKers self identified as either 'HK Chinese', 'Chinese HK', or 'Chinese'.
Which means that 60% of HKers do indeed self identify as Chinese.
Now you can be Hong Kong people and Chinese at the same time, just like you can be American and Chinese at the same time. The Taiwanese in contrast choose to only be Taiwanese.
Ooooooooo more fantasy lalaland trolling, and you're the one calling me a high school senior? lololoolol. Do you feel proud of yourself? Do you honestly believe that labeling me a high school senior does anything to further your message or for anyone to believe in what you're saying? But of course lalaland trolling is about as much as your pea-brain can handle.

"I just told you all about SARA, which you decided not to comment on because you realized you had been bested, dispatched and packed neatly back into your box."
What you said was irrelevant to the discussion, and thus I ignored it. You were trying for a straw man argument, which is a logical fallacy. Maybe they never taught you this at whichever toilet school you went to, but why should I respond to a logical fallacy?
You make threat; I mock your threat by copy and pasting; and yet YOU are the one who gets mad at threat. Hmm.... You seriously must have a crappy life...
---------
"Your skills of judgement will either need immediate reassessing or have already been rendered non-existent as a result of the above statement."
It's very easy to tell, judging by your logical reasoning skills and vocabulary, that you did not attend a respectable MBA program. How could you have possibly done well on the GMAT with the amazing amount of stupidity you have just displayed?
You know you are a loser, and all you can do is lie (about attending a respectable MBA program, owning a respectable business, operating in China without having to pay taxes) to make yourself feel better, and when you were proven wrong, all you can do is pull more straw man arguments. (Your last post has little to do with the one you responded to)
You are a very very sad person. Enjoy your crappy crappy life, and a life that will remain crappy forever because you made the poor choice of living in China (as a white man) and started a cruddy "business" right out of business school, so you really have zero chance of advancement. How sad.....
Well actually I'm a dual US/EU citizen who was born in America and only 1/2 ethnically Chinese but I still identify myself as Chinese (or at least half-Chinese).
Also I think you're an American Taiwanese? It seems like the only Taiwanese who actually feel threatened about China are the ones who have never actually traveled to China or HK.
The Taiwanese whom I've met in the mainland or HK readily identifies themselves as "Chinese", and they understand that the PRC's angry rhetoric is rhetoric only and there's no chance that the PRC will invade Taiwan because such a move would be very unpopular in both the PRC and the international community.
Obviously the PRC should drop its angry rhetoric, but the DPP should also drop its independence rhetoric to not piss off the mainlanders. The PRC and DPP are really doing the same things here...
Also IMO both the mainlanders and Taiwanese should travel to each other's territories more, because such misunderstandings does not need to happen at all.
"And if you disagree you might as well start referring to Americans as Her Majesty's royal subjects."
Well actually America is very very diverse and less than 20% of America's genetics come from the UK....
My point is that if Singaporean, Malaysian, and multi-generation overseas Chinese are able to identify themselves as "Chinese", then why can't the Taiwanese? Surely those multi-generation overseas Chinese whose grandparents emigrated to America 100 years ago are subjected to a larger gap toward the mainland than you Taiwanese do?
Also Mr. Lin is an AMERICAN who identifies himself as both Chinese and Taiwanese, so it's very illogical (and insulting to Mr. Lin himself) to claim that he is Taiwanese BUT NOT Chinese.
Just FYI, American MBA programs ranked below Yale or NYU are pretty garbage... especially outside of the US... and anyone in a bulge bracket IB, MBB consulting, top PE firms, or a top-multi national corporation (Google, Apple, etc) can tell you this.
Judging by your posts and what you've stated, I'm almost 100% certain you didn't attend a program ranked above Yale or NYU. In fact you probably attended a middle-ranking toilet program, which ordinary Americans consider respectable but is actually just garbage.
Just FYI, I actually hope that Taiwan either maintains its de-facto independence forever or the KMT takes over the mainland according to the ROC's claims of owning the mainland.
I just get pissed off when people claim that Taiwanese are Taiwanese only and not Taiwanese Chinese.
If you stated that Mr. Lin was a American Taiwanese Chinese then I would have had no issue.
Well good thing that China only spends 1.6% of its GDP on its military and only has 300 nukes or so (about equivalent to small Israel) so it hasn't shown much military aggression yet that will require others to band against its hegemony.
Ok so your UBC does not actually refer the University of British Columbia...
The rest of my post stands. Judging by your age and what you post in your YouTube channel there's no way you can ever "own" an even a half-way successful business, and judging by your YouTube channel and your posts here there's no way you could have attended a halfway decent MBA program.
Also if you operate in mainland China then you must pay the CPC taxes... But you claim to "live" in the mainland, so either you're doing whatever crappy insignificant business there or you're teaching English there.
Pretty sure the University of British Columbia is Canadian... Also pretty sure as of 08 you were still in school, so there's no way you can "own" any half-way respectable business.
Of course you have no content to actually talk about, so you go into fantasy loony land and try to launch fantasy loony personal attacks against me; again because you have no content to actually talk about.
I can do the same for you, but I'm above such pettiness and waste of time. Enjoy your crappy life....
(BTW you were the first one to make a threat, and I simply mostly copied and pasted what you wrote, and yet you were the one who got really upset over it.... How sad..... You must live a really crappy life....)
But modern Americans have too much pride to ally with anyone whom it cannot control... (Russia won't act like American dogs as much of Europe is doing)
"Taiwan has no conflict with China. Most Taiwanese favor the status quo, i.e. de facto independence (again, get over it)."
Umm go read the name of the poster above you; 台灣獨立非常好. I know you Taiwanese hate logic, but telling me to "get over it" is pretty absurd even by your standards, no?
-------
"but he self-identifies as Taiwanese-American."
That's just factually incorrect. Mr. Lin has identified himself as "Chinese" many times. See in America almost nobody distinguishes mainlanders from Taiwanese from Singaporeans or whomever.
But obviously you Taiwanese enjoy discriminating against the other Chinese people...
"because when you realise by what margins a loser like me is outdoing you"
lolololol coming from a white guy who claims to "own" a business in mainland China.
Actually I probably make more $$ in a week than you do in a year.
"such as my ability to separate your head from your shoulders with the flick of a wrist"
What about my ability to blow your head off with a flick of my index finger? See there's a reason why people don't use Japanese Katanas anymore; they are very difficult to conceal and have very limited range... But obviously you pea-brained idiots cannot realize such facts...
Also apparently your MBA was from a CANADIAN school, and obviously everyone knows that every halfway respectable programs are either British, American, or French (INSEAD).
Ahh so this explains why you are operating a very very very very small unprofitable or barely-profitable business in mainland China rather than doing something worthwhile with your life.
See you're still a loser... and you always will be...
And from what I've deduced from this one post of yours:
Doubting_Thomas = Contentless troll.
If you're going to troll at least add some content; otherwise you're just wasting everybody's time; thanks.....

Thanks for providing that link. It appears at ~82% of HKers identifies themselves as 'Chinese' in some form of manner.
I wonder what that number would be in Taiwan?
"But consider that he says 'I am Chinese' precisely because he's American. If he were speaking in Mandarin I bet he'd say I am Hua Ren (ethnically); but if asked whether he is Zhong Guo Ren ('Chinese') or Taiwan Ren, which do you think he would choose?"
