    I'm nobody (identity crisis?), don't have a special connection to either China (the land I was born in) and Denmark (the land I'm living in).

    I was born and live in Belgium but I'm a Chinese boy because :
    - All my family live in China.
    - My parent come from China.
    - I can speak & understand Cantonese (not very well but I'm improving it )
    - I'm learning Mandarin.
    - I have Chinese blood.
    - I'm as handsome as all Chinese people :p

    Therefore, I'm 100% Chinese.

    This must be something new; Type A, Type B, Type AB, Type O, and now Type Chinese

    LOL... Er, sorry, but no such thing. All this talk about the nationality of blood is only an emotional affiliation that one feels. Or else the blood banks around the world would soon be out of business. -noclue

    Well, it's hard for me to say!
    If I consider me as a chinese, chinese from mainland, so my answer is NO.
    If I consider me as a chinese, chinese from Taiwan, som my answer is YES, I am Taiwanese.
    Both of my parents are born from Taiwan, so I'm I.
    But was race here i Sweden 99 % of my life, and I consider me my self a Taiwanese.
    Even thou I can't write or read, barly speak chinese at all.

    As long as you have a drop of Chinese blood, you are that part Chinese, where ever you are, whatever language you can speak or can't speak.
