@zilalibayan6030 no, or at least usually not taiwanese (but they do speak or have the same heritage language, i.e. hokkien). i live in the philippines and most of those "Chinese" investors/business people in the philippines are actually Filipinos as well, just that they are ethnically Chinese... which is why they are respected because those are actually Filipinos as well that start up companies, climb ph corporate ladders and lead their own filipino companies and provide other filipinos with jobs. just look for the list of top billionaires in the philippines. the richest filipinos are mostly of ethnic chinese descent, with a few old blood elite spanish descent. these chinese did not come from today's communist-founded china (PRC), but from the china before that (ROC or Qing or even Ming). english is ambiguous on the word "chinese". it includes both ethnicity and nationality definitions. many of the ethnic chinese filipinos in the philippines have no loyalty to today's communist-founded china. a lot of them have lived for generations in the philippines with little to no ties to the current political entity in china. some have never even set foot in china. and then, of course, there are the few expat ethnic chinese singaporeans, malaysians, indonesians, thai, taiwanese, and mainland chinese...
