Based on qualitative interviews conducted in Taiwan in August/September 1995 this article attempts at a classification of different points of view on the question of the national and cultural identity of Taiwan. There are four preliminary conclusions: 1) The previous ethnic conflict between Mainlanders and Taiwanese is more and more replaced by a conflict on cultural and national identity. 2) The political system in the ROC on Taiwan is increasingly organized along these lines of varying identities. 3) Since Taiwan has no influence on the development in the PRC and because of the fact that the conflict on Taiwanese identity is an important factor in the struggle between different political parties, the international context is partly neglected within the discourse on identity. 4) One important factor for the emergence of a Taiwanese identity is the congruence of center and periphery after the central government fled to Taiwan in 1949.
