Some background behind TaiwanTaiwan, a small island on the coast of mainland China, after World War II was occupied by the KMT, led by Chiang Kai-Shek together with his followers fled to Taiwan to cause of the defeat of the Chinese civil war. The United States' financial support for the KMT, due to their fight against communism during the Cold War era, led to massive industrialization in Taiwan and political tensions between Taiwan and China.

Taiwanese Americans, a good majority with middle-class backgrounds, came to the United States for higher education, but then decided to stay or emigrate because of the family that was already there, or the job opportunities they had in America, or for their children, etc. and they managed to leave an economic impact in America and began to live an American lifestyle, but like other Asian immigrants, with some resentment and prejudice from others, they had also brought their own tradition. The purpose of this article is to show the immigration of the Taiwanese and the success of the Taiwanese, socioeconomically, their integration and changes in the American lifestyle, along with the problems they faced.

By showing why Taiwanese immigrated and the impact they have had, along with the lifestyle they have integrated into and also changed, one can see the difference between a Taiwanese person and a Chinese one. The Taiwanese have... half the paper. .....culture, have impacted their American lifestyle and changed the enclaves they reside in, but would still have problems, despite living a suburban life.Bibliography1.
