LoL well im from hong kong and im chinese , i dont kno what you talkin about that hong kong ppl aren't chinese. Hong Kong ppl are cantonese which is a dialect of chinese. As far as Taiwan is concerned, its up to them to call whatever race they want to call themselves. Nobody has a problem with that 
. But i think its more like a political thing isn't it? Just different governments. But i think we're all chinese, just that they are taiwanese chinese and some people are mainland chinese. lol

It's a social econmical issue, which I will not get into.

+1 here (ABC)
nationality (as per websters)
5 a : a people having a common origin, tradition, and language and capable of forming or actually constituting a nation-state b : an ethnic group constituting one element of a larger unit (as a nation )
so i think both are correct, altho i don't think hknese applies anymore
