Can Minnan people be regarded as another nation?

Not really. It's just that ethnic groups are used instead of ethnic groups in Taiwan Province Province. Minnan chauvinists divide the Han nationality into three ethnic groups: mainlanders, Hakkas and Minnans. Only the extremely exclusive Minnans can do this.

It's a long story, starting with the Hakka people bringing Minnan people to Taiwan Province Province. Hakkas brought troops to Taiwan Province Province to fight Dutch, and Minnan people accounted for a certain proportion in Zheng's army. Later, Fujian fled to Taiwan Province Province on a large scale because of the war, which triggered the fighting in Taiwan Province Province.

Ancient Minnan people fought against eastern and western Buddhas in southern Fujian, and many of them went to Taiwan Province Province because of the war. Later, the battles between Fujian and Guangdong and Quanzhou and Zhangzhou took place in Taiwan Province Province. During the Chiang Kai-shek period, Minnan people also clashed with mainlanders who came to Taiwan. Minnan people immigrated to Nanyang, and there was a battle between Fujian and Chaozhou in Singapore.

Taiwan Province people originally used the dichotomy between mainlanders and people from this province, claiming that people from this province speak Minnan (Taiwanese, Taiwan Province), people from Taiwan Province province speak their mother tongue, and people from Fujian speak Minnan. Later, when the Hakkas demonstrated and the aborigines demonstrated, they had to abandon the dichotomy and adopt the concept of ethnic groups instead of nationalities, other provinces, Hakkas, aborigines and Minnan.

Fujian, Guangdong, land, original and new

Look, the painting groups in Taiwan Province Province are holding hands, and Minnan people, Hakkas, mainlanders, aborigines and new residents are holding hands.

Mainland painting is to draw 56 ethnic groups hand in hand, which is not counted in Chinese mainland.

Therefore, in Taiwan Province Province, Minnan people are not a nation on the surface, but actually a nation. Substituting ethnic groups for ethnic groups, playing dirty.
