In addition, the paper analyzes the change and development of a Chinese and Taiwanese identity as well as provides reasoning and depth to the complex identities and its conflicts with each other. Both identities are explored through a theoretical framework as well as through a historical timeline to gain a deeper insight to the development of the chinese and Taiwanese identities.
