MADE IN TAIWAN                                                                                             "Taiwanese find new identity in an old insult "
When two million people fled the Chinese mainland and poured onto the shores of Taiwan in 1949,
there were already nearly eight million people living on the island. Many of the families of military forces
among the new immigrants gathered into what were termed dependent villages around the island.
Youngsters raised in these enclaves of mainlanders often clashed with native youth from surrounding
areas, whom the new arrivals derisively called “Taike” – literally, “Taiwan guests”.

For the special history and geography environment in Taiwan, culture identity has been shown more
complicated. The Taiwanese culture is a hybrid blend of Confucianist Han Chinese, Japanese,
European, American, global, local and Taiwanese aborigines cultures, which are often perceived in both
traditional and modern understandings. The common socio-political experience in Taiwan gradually
developed into a sense of Taiwanese cultural identity and a feeling of Taiwanese cultural awareness,
which has been widely debated domestically.

Reflecting the continuing controversy surrounding the political status of Taiwan, politics continues to
play a role in the conception and development of a Taiwanese cultural identity, especially in the prior
dominant frame of a Taiwanese and Chinese dualism.

In recent years, the concept of Taiwanese multiculturalism has been proposed as a relatively apolitical
alternative view, which has allowed for the inclusion of mainlanders and other minority groups in to the
continuing re-definition of Taiwanese culture as collectively held systems of meaning and customary
patterns of thought and behavior shared by the people of Taiwan.
EVOLUTION
Nowadays, much of the world is already aware
of the vitality and creativity that exists in Taiwan.
Taiwan is well-known for its technological
prowess, and is beginning to win recognition for
its cultural activity and artistic talent. As the 21st
century moves along, Taiwan is in line with the
trend toward globalization in making this creativity
and talent known to the rest of the world. This
means 21st century media such as the Internet
to let everyone enjoy a taste of Formosa Culture.

“Made in Taiwan” now is a label recognized
around the world; for decades, Taiwan has been
a leading exporter of products from bicycles to
consumer electronics.

    When the noun and adjective Taike is used, usually people are calling or describing
    somebody who is not elegant or has bad taste in clothes and no sense of style,

LOOK INSIDE FOR DEFINITION
Taike is the spirit of men and women unafraid of their identity. It is the spirit of those who have forged their own freedom,
found their own way and are unafraid to approach the future by themselves.

Everything has happened here very quickly. The essence of being Taiwanese is change. Taike, too, is changing in context.
Even they’ve all been through the poor past, Taiwanese know how to balance respect for the past with growth for the
future. Many say if you want to see Chinese culture at its best, come to Taiwan. Taiwanese embrace their roots and add to
them the many other experiences of their past. They embrace and adapt.

By embracing the fad, the young have also realized how to separate the name taike from the original intended insult. They
have learned the freedom of the Fauves, who took glory in being called wild beasts and turned insult into celebration of
identity.

  • 20. MADE IN TAIWAN "Taiwanese find new identity in an old insult " When two million people fled the Chinese mainland and poured onto the shores of Taiwan in 1949, there were already nearly eight million people living on the island. Many of the families of military forces among the new immigrants gathered into what were termed dependent villages around the island. Youngsters raised in these enclaves of mainlanders often clashed with native youth from surrounding areas, whom the new arrivals derisively called “Taike” – literally, “Taiwan guests”. For the special history and geography environment in Taiwan, culture identity has been shown more complicated. The Taiwanese culture is a hybrid blend of Confucianist Han Chinese, Japanese, European, American, global, local and Taiwanese aborigines cultures, which are often perceived in both traditional and modern understandings. The common socio-political experience in Taiwan gradually developed into a sense of Taiwanese cultural identity and a feeling of Taiwanese cultural awareness, which has been widely debated domestically. Reflecting the continuing controversy surrounding the political status of Taiwan, politics continues to play a role in the conception and development of a Taiwanese cultural identity, especially in the prior dominant frame of a Taiwanese and Chinese dualism. In recent years, the concept of Taiwanese multiculturalism has been proposed as a relatively apolitical alternative view, which has allowed for the inclusion of mainlanders and other minority groups in to the continuing re-definition of Taiwanese culture as collectively held systems of meaning and customary patterns of thought and behavior shared by the people of Taiwan.
  • 21. EVOLUTION Nowadays, much of the world is already aware of the vitality and creativity that exists in Taiwan. Taiwan is well-known for its technological prowess, and is beginning to win recognition for its cultural activity and artistic talent. As the 21st century moves along, Taiwan is in line with the trend toward globalization in making this creativity and talent known to the rest of the world. This means 21st century media such as the Internet to let everyone enjoy a taste of Formosa Culture. “Made in Taiwan” now is a label recognized around the world; for decades, Taiwan has been a leading exporter of products from bicycles to consumer electronics.
  • 22. ORIGIN OF TAIKE When being piss off, every sentence begins with the word fuck, and so on. These are often part of the 客 act, and it's hip to study the Taiwan dialect of Chinese. What’s interesting about Tai-Ke is that it was once considered a bad word used by people outside the people in this societal group. With this very group now using This dress and behaviour code, known loosely as "tai-ke", has been a minor rage for about 20 years it and embracing it, they have taken away the negativity of the word and have as Taiwan youth seek a distinctly local identity in the face of China's threats to declare the whole island 文 empowered themselves by making it their own. Chinese, social commentators say. Taike is a term that has been bandied about and often abused by the media in However, there is nothing wrong with being a Taike. But the image of a Taike should be changed. Taiwan for the last decade or so. It has been identified both as a pejorative and as a point of pride for Taiwan natives, with definitions that vary according to the point of A GUIDE TO MEDIA-MANUFACTURED "TAIKE" IMAGE 化 view of the speaker and the context as well. So what does ‘Taike’ really mean? - Not highly educated - Smokes Longlife Premium or Seven Stars cigarettes DEFINITION - Speaks Mandarin with a heavy Taiwanese accent, peppering it with English For a term that has been so closely examined and so loosely used by the media, - Chews betel nut the entertainment world and segments of academia over the past decade or so, - Wears flowery shirts from night markets, loose pants and blue and white flipflops. Taike still seems to be very elusive and hard to define. - Hair is bleached, arms and legs covered with black tattoos - All kinds of bling-bling, fingernails finished in ten different styles When the noun and adjective Taike is used, usually people are calling or describing somebody who is not elegant or has bad taste in clothes and no sense of style, perhaps even in the way they talk. FINDING TAIKE IN ENTERTAINMENT AND THE ARTS By going through the media getting involved, Tai-ke has been the subject of media reports for most of this year. while the slight hasn’t completely lost its Blue and white plastic slippers, chews betel nut, drinks energy drinks, smokes Mild- sting, it has been soothed by the surging popularity of Taiwanese culture. “Taike” has entered the lexicon of cool. These days Taiwan youth are embracing the Seven, rides motocycles loudly, and anywhere anytime keeps the diao-ga shirt (the “Tai-ke” culture, while at the same turning their noses up at the clothes of country folk, with their connotations of poverty. Taiwanese wife-beater) or flower-printed shirt rolled up to let the stomach breath.
  • 23. LOOK INSIDE FOR DEFINITION Taike is the spirit of men and women unafraid of their identity. It is the spirit of those who have forged their own freedom, found their own way and are unafraid to approach the future by themselves. Everything has happened here very quickly. The essence of being Taiwanese is change. Taike, too, is changing in context. Even they’ve all been through the poor past, Taiwanese know how to balance respect for the past with growth for the future. Many say if you want to see Chinese culture at its best, come to Taiwan. Taiwanese embrace their roots and add to them the many other experiences of their past. They embrace and adapt. By embracing the fad, the young have also realized how to separate the name taike from the original intended insult. They have learned the freedom of the Fauves, who took glory in being called wild beasts and turned insult into celebration of identity.
