I agree with the sentiment, but Nice is Taiwanese... Well the fact is that people who live in Taiwan are Chinese. It is more of a political separation rather than national. | ||

The issue is a bit more complex than that, as a bit of googling shows that their self-identification is as both Taiwanese and Chinese, and I don't think you can just say that the people who live in Taiwan are Chinese. But on topic, it's nice that it starts at an NA-friendly time. Since Neeb was unfortunately eliminated by Scarlett in the qualifiers (though I think now he would definitely win that matchup), I'm rooting fro sOs. | ||

I do not know what you are googling, but a bit of knowledge about history might enlighten you. Taiwan is the Republic of China, so people living there are most certainly Chinese. The separation is purely political. Like North and South Korea or in the past East and West Germany. | ||

True, but it's not like they're especially happy to have to compete under the flag of Chinese Taipei. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2016/08/05/sport/taiwan-olympics-chinese-taipei/index.html Taiwanese nationality is increasing such that more people are identifying as Taiwanese or Taiwanese and Chinese rather than just Chinese. Nice is likely not culturally Chinese, as he would have grown up in Taiwan that has been separate from the PRC for quite a while now. I think calling him ethnically Chinese is like calling both a N Korean and a S Korean "Korean" under the same banner. While they are both Korean, the decades apart means they are culturally very different. | ||

Yeah not saying I agree with it, but its aggressive Chinese diplomacy enforcing these things | ||
