另外就是我覺得其實我們被中文翻譯吃豆腐了 = =
「中國人」和「華人」翻成英文都是 Chinese
可是當我們聽到人家問我們 Are you Chinese?
每個人心中轉譯後的東西可能都不一樣
有人會想「他問我是華人嗎?我是啊!」,所以就會回答 Yes, I'm Chinese.
有人會想「我又不是從中國來的」,那就會回答 No. I'm Taiwanese.
以我自己來講,我自認是華人、台灣人,可是我不是中國的人
我既不向中國政府繳稅、我盡的權利與義務也不是對中國
我拿的護照也不是中國政府發的
如果 Mainland China 政府 = China = 中國
那麼我是 Taiwanese with Chinese culture background
舉一個類似的例子:北歐
挪威丹麥瑞典以文化或種族來說,其實是差不多的
曾經大半瑞典是被丹麥佔領,挪威跟瑞典更是到近代才分家
丹麥文瑞典文挪威文基本上也相通
所以他們也自稱 Scandinavian、斯堪地半島人
就像我們會認同我們是所謂的華人一樣
這是屬於地理文化面向的認同
如果問任一個丹麥人或瑞典人或挪威人 Are you scandinavian?
他們都會跟你說 Yes
可是丹麥瑞典挪威現在是三個不同國家
如果因為瑞典文比較通用大部分人都懂瑞典文所以你問丹麥人挪威人 Are you Swedish?
他們會給你一個白眼 + 大大的 No
所以再回來看「中國人/Chinese/華人」這個議題就會比較不一樣
中國人等不等於華人?
China people 等不等於 Chinese?
Chinese = People from China?
我是覺得算是很曖昧模糊的空間啦!

所以在看一些民意調查的結果的時候就很有趣..
如果問券只問「你是中國人嗎?」和
問券並列「你是中國人?還是台灣人?」
得到的結果可能就會有頗大的差距...
