- It's useless to instigate the sentiments among Taiwanese, who largely
- were people colonized by the Japanese before 1946 and still endear the
- old days. Taiwanese is a special breed of the ethnic Chinese. People
- who are 50 years or older are influenced deeply by the Japanese culture;
- young people under 30 years are strongly influenced by Japanese pop culture.
- Japanese pop figures are idols among them.
-
- Today, once again Taiwan is colonized by Japanese culturally (even
- Hong Kong).
