Taiwanese Americans (traditional Chinese: 臺灣裔美國人; pinyin: Táiwān yì měiguó rén) are an ethnic group in the United States consisting of Americans of Taiwanese ancestry, including American-born citizens descended from migrants from the Republic of China (Taiwan).[5]
Taiwanese Americans are one of the highest-earning ethnic groups in the United States, and are the highest-earning American ethnic group by per capita income.[6] After World War II and the Chinese Civil War, immigrants from Taiwan first began to arrive in the United States, where Taiwanese immigration was shaped by the Hart-Celler Act (1965) and the Taiwan Relations Act (1979).[7] As of the 2010 U.S. Census, 49% of Taiwanese Americans lived in either California, New York, or Texas.[8]
Notable Taiwanese Americans include billionaire CEOs Jensen Huang (Nvidia), Lisa Su (AMD), and Morris Chang (TSMC); entrepreneurs Jerry Yang (co-founder of Yahoo), Steve Chen (co-founder of YouTube), Tony Hsieh (Zappos); politicians Michelle Wu, Andrew Yang, and Elaine Chao; jurists Goodwin Liu, Florence Pan, and James Ho; HIV/AIDS researcher David Ho, chemist David R. Liu, and Nobel Prize laureates Samuel C. C. Ting and Yuan T. Lee. Taiwanese American celebrities include NBA basketball player Jeremy Lin, singer-songwriter Wang Leehom, and actress Constance Wu.
