Not too much Chinese stuff other than Jolin Tsai, Faye Wong, Emme Wong, Stephanie Cheng, Eason Chan, S.H.E....

As far as S. Korea goes, though, I love Lee Hyori, Se7en, Super Junior, and DBSK/TVXQ. I listen to a little Ivy, too.

Jay is Taiwanese, but that doesn't make much difference considering what we're discussing, does it? It's still Chinese, just the Taiwanese dialect (Min).

Oh, how could I forget BoA I wanted to check out her MTV special on TV, but I forgot about it. Are they going to show it again?

I thought it was the opposite, or something. that he's Taiwanese, but speaks Chinese?

*confused*
but yeah, basically it doesn't matter, I guess.

i wouldn't say that, thats thin ice right there...

well in taiwan, the main language is mandarin, with a few odd differences in words. so they speak chinese.
Theres a difference in reading and writing too, they use traditional chinese characters, like Southern China, but most of the mainland use simplified.

Taiwan has been known as part of China, but many taiwanese disagree and want to be their own country, but there are also taiwanese that agrees with being with China. I think, recently they've had some sort of economic agreement but i wouldn't count on it lasting. The historical ties with Taiwan and China are too big to overcome.

I just use Taiwanese and Chinese to avoid conflicts. Taiwanese of chinese heritage would be the correct term.
But that's all politics and i'm too tired to get into that now.
