  1. Taiwanese

    Taiwanese Hokkien, commonly known as Taiwanese, is the Hokkien dialect of Min Nan as spoken by about 70% of the population of Taiwan. The largest linguistic group in Taiwan, in which Hokkien is considered a native language, is known as Hoklo or Holo. The correlation between language and ethnicity is generally true, though not absolute, as some Hoklo speak Hokkien poorly while some non-Hoklo speak Hokkien fluently. Pe̍h-ōe-jī is a popular orthography for this variant of Hokkien. Taiwanese Hokkien is generally similar to Amoy. Minor differences only occur in terms of vocabulary. Like Amoy, Taiwanese Hokkien is based on a mixture of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou speech. Due to the mass popularity of Hokkien entertainment media from Taiwan, Taiwanese Hokkien has grown to become the more influential Hokkien dialect of Min Nan, especially since the 1980s. Along with Amoy, the Taiwanese prestige dialect is regarded as 'standard Hokkien'.

    Michelle Steel employs the same disinformation that has led to an increase in violence against members of the Asian American community, while shamelessly smearing a member of the U.S. Naval Reserves, as a Taiwanese American who holds a Top Secret security clearance, Lt. Commander Jay Chen deeply understands the threat China poses to the United States. While Confucius Classrooms were widely accepted across the United States a dozen years ago, including by the State Department, the Chinese Communist Party’s evolution as an aggressor towards the United States and its democratic allies has further informed the U.S. State Department’s evaluation of these programs, and Lt. Commander Chen remains aligned with their analysis.
