well he could have meant chinese as a race, not a nationality.

well, no other record is held by a chinese person, so that comment is still ignorant. Most of the Asian record holders are japanese/korean.

This was ignorant too. Regardless of your political views, Taiwan is a province of China, at least it is officially. So is Hong Kong by the way (SAR). Never knew why they were allowed to participate under a "different" nationality though. Probably the same reason Wales and Scotland and England and Northern Ireland can participate in the World Cup (or Euro or whatever) as different countries? Anyone know why?
 
Hello guys,
I'm Han-Cyun Chen.
I used ES cube. ←made in Taiwan :)
It's better than my c4u one.

I think Nakaji and Syu can easily beat this record in their next competition.

By the Way, I AM a Taiwanese.

Wrong.

Yeah, that's a pretty ignorant statement. The record was achieved by someone who's Taiwanese, not Chinese. Taiwan is not officially a province of The People's Republic of China. Taiwan's official UN designation right now is The Republic of China, but it is not controlled by The People's Republic of China.

People from Taiwan are not the same 'race'. Taiwan has its own language called Taiwanese, that is not intelligible with Mandarin in any way.
 
What language is Taiwanese? Aren't there actually around 4 races (Chinese Han political exile, indigenous Taiwanese, and other tribes possibly of Vietnamese or Japanese descent?) in Taiwan and 56 in mainland China?
Why is the term Chinese only designated to People's Republic of China not Republic of China?

Han-Cyun Chen,
Congrats. Doesn't really matter what race you are. It's your personal achievement, nice solves!

Edit: I love Eastsheen cubes! :D

Taiwanese is a language spoken in Taiwan that most indigenous Taiwan residents speak. But most of them know and are taught in schools Mandarin anyway, because Taiwanese is an only spoken language.

The Chinese government considers Taiwan as part of China (ex. in 2008 summer Olympics China referred Taiwan as Chinese Taipei), but most indigenous Taiwanese people (the people who's ancestors came to Taiwan ~500 years ago) believe that Taiwan is an different, independent country.

Back on topic:
I'm glad the Taiwanese are getting records! My mom is indigenous Taiwanese so it kind of makes me happy that Taiwan is being successful in cubing. :) I wanted to go to the Taiwan Summer Open last year but my brother, not me visited Taiwan last summer :(

Go Tyson! :D By the way, what nationality are you?

Yeah Taiwan is not controlled by China but their government relationships aren't that pretty. I think 15 year old Taiwanese boys have to be trained in the army in case China decides to fight Taiwan. China has hundreds of missiles pointed at Taiwan....
