The Manchu people in Taiwan constitute a small minority of the population of Taiwan. The Manchu people living in Taiwan arrived primarily in two waves of migration. The first wave was during the Qing Dynasty period. During this period, 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. Currently, there are about 12,000 Manchu people living in Taiwan.[2]
