The Manchu people in Taiwan constitute a small minority of the population of Taiwan.

Migration history edit

The Manchu people living in Taiwan arrived primarily in two waves of migration. The first wave was during the Qing dynasty era, in which the Manchu-led government annexed Taiwan into the Qing Empire.^[1] The second wave was immediately following the Chinese Civil War, when the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan. As of 2009^[update], there are about 12,000 Manchu people living in Taiwan.^[2]
