*******************************************Truth************************************************************ He is American, his parents are Taiwanese. I don’t see why China is so anxious about it, even wrote this erroneous article trying to confuse the public.Such a shame. Just let Lin play the basketball and we enjoy it. That’s all it matters.

Reading this, I begin to doubt if WSJ’s reports on Taiwan are intended to please China, while duping Americans?
读了这篇文章,我不禁怀疑华尔街日报关于台湾的报道都是为了取悦中国,同时愚弄了美国人民。

American, don't think that all Asian are the same, all Asian should proud of him. Then all Caucasian are the same according to your theory. You got bigger things to worry about, but the biggest thing for Taiwanese is fight for our COUNTRY and our RIGHT. Trivial to you, life and death matters to us. Wherever where our ancestors from, we are Taiwanese and TAIWAN IS NOT PART OF CHINA.

@ Josh Chin You think it’s fine that you mentioned “Taiwan” in second paragraph even though you said he is China’s hero? Chinese always wanna include EVERYTHING, wanna wrap everything back to China. Yea yea pizza is from China, whatever, but HE IS FROM TAIWAN. Please revise this article.

Hello dear American reporter, Please revise this article. Taiwan is never a part of People’s Republic of China. Taiwan is a democratic country and the PRC is a communist country. Please study your world history…
Wow, some Taiwanese guys here are really pathetic wrote:
Some Taiwanese need to get a life. Let this guy play basketball.
BTW: Lin said himself :I’m really proud of being Chinese, I’m really proud of my parents being from Taiwan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARFmtP8tzms
Fair enough?
LOL wrote:
Lin’s parents are from Taiwan. True. And they are the same groups of people you Taiwanese refer to as 外省猪, or “pigs from other provinces”, and the people you Taiwanese often tell them to 滚回中国去 or “go back to China”. Now that their son is playing good basketball, suddenly they become the pride of YOU GREAT TAIWANESE PEOPLE now? LOL

There is a wonderful place on the planet. People there elected Chinese Nationalist Party as the ruling party in the most recent two elections People there elected someone who was born in China and considered himself Chinese as president The largest domestic airline is called China Airlines They speak Mandarin Chinese and mostly two Chinese dialects They printed China on the cover of their passports You might tell me this place is China. Yes, this place is called Republic of China. But some amazing people like some of the guys here would tell you, it has nothing to do with China. That's why they need to see a doctor.

As a life long Knick fan it was amazing to watch him in the last two games. Which only reinforces to me why Dantoni has to go. I can't believe Lin wasn't playing well enough in practice for dantoni to not have seen his ability. Lin has been on the Knicks radar since the 2010 Vegas Summer league, the kid has skills. He just needs to get a little stronger with ball in his left hand.

What a poorly written article. Please do your research before writing such nonsense. Jeremy Lin is an American.
真是一篇让人不快的文章啊。请你在胡说八道之前做好调查!Jeremy Lin(林书豪)是美国人。

> his grandparents are from China. Taiwanese are indiginous people.
Lol, so it seems most of the Americans are British? And the commonly-known Americans are indigenous people?
》他的祖父母来自中国。台湾人是土著居民。
哈哈!所以说,大部分美国人是英国人咯?而众所周知的美国人就是土著居民咯?
WSJ should close down wrote:
WSJ should apologize for false reports. Please do not confuse Taiwan as part of China. We are a developed democratic country that elects our own president and our own constitution. Your government will be deeply worried if Taiwan becomes part of China one day. Idiots

Lin’ll take fast court break if handed on a plate, but he’s not exactly a run&gun guy like Steve Nash. From whatching him, he’s more of a half-court rhythm-disruptor kind of player who handles the rock and breaks ankles. At 6’3″, 200lb and yo-yoing the ball like a brother, totally fearless, sees the lane, sees the players, and knows the timing- Lin is a nightmare to guard 1-on-1, and difficult to double team. If he can work on his conditioning, a quicker release for his jumper, and more dogged 1-on-1 defense; we’ll be watching him on highlight reels for many years to come.

Lin’s identity is entirely up to him. Many Taiwanese, especially those with Chinese grandparents, identify as both Taiwanese and Chinese, and that’s fine. No one likes other people telling them who they are – it’s rude and annoying.
He doesn’t have to have any direct connection to China itself to be popular there. It’s just great to see an Asian American do well in the NBA. As a Warriors fan I wish it could’ve worked out for him here, but he fits into the Knicks a lot better. I hope he keeps improving!

I couldn’t care less about basketball, but where Lin comes from is irrelevant. The article is about where he is a hero. There are few Asians in the NBA, and he is ethnically Chinese. What is the problem?

American private schools including Harvard limiting Asians’ enrollment by quota because they don’t like to see too many yellow people in the campus. So the Asians should be allowed to see their own yellow people playing ball! Racism is intrinsic and Americans, a diversified country, has it all in different times.

You Taiwan nationalists really need to get a grip. Just because the writer referenced that he is Chinese, doesn’t mean they are connoting he is from China. He is in fact Chinese, his lineage goes back to China. You people are just using this opportunity to pursue your drivel of nationalistic politics. No one cares about your propaganda. Move along and enjoy this talent.

It’s not about Lin, it’s about the report. The author could have use Asian instead of china, but he didn’t. What will you guys feel if we claim an America star is British? Even though the lineages go back to British, it still doesn’t make sense. That’s why we stand out for our country, Taiwan.

Lin is American. He can be American and be a hero/role model to Chinese people, Christians, or homosapien.
Why is this political? What does this have to do with Obama?

I was born in Taiwan, but my parents are from China, and I have been a US citizen for the last 35 years. My old US passports used to say country of birth “China”, now my latest US passport says country of birth “Taiwan”, so there is confusion due to the complicated relationship between Taiwan and China.
Jeremy is American, but of Chinese extraction, so I would consider him Chinese-American. You may also just as reasonably consider him to be Asian-American or Taiwanese-American. They are all correct, though many consider Taiwanese to refer to the indigenous Taiwanese people.
There is no right or wrong here.

He is an AMERICAN for crying out loud. Born and raised in california. This taiwanese vs chinese arguments in the year of 2012 is so ridiculous and petty.
哎呀!林是美国人!在加州出生、长大。2012年的这场台湾人vs中国人的争论真是可笑又无聊!
Pierre wrote:
My parents fled China in late 40′s and I am a proud American. Taiwanese, like many overseas Chinese, communicates in Chinese and perhaps some other dialects. They celebrate Chinese culture, Chinese new year, etc, etc. This excessive regional pride, just like nationalistic price is the source of many unending grievances. You go to any rural town in the midwest or even california, and I can guarantee you most folks can’t even distinguish whether you are Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, Korean, Singaporean, or what not. To them, all orientals look and talk alike. Like it or not, that is just the fact. So, let Lin decide what his identity is, shall we? I am very interested in hearing what he has to say. To me Lin is a talented AMERICAN basketball player of Asian Decent.

I understand Taiwanese people’s desire to put some distance between themselves and mainland China as they are under perceived mainland Chinese military threat. However Lin is just a basketball player, and an American first and foremost, so it’s best to leave him out of this debate.
