It is true that Tsai Ming-liang was born in Malaysia, but he is generally considered a Taiwanese filmmaker.

Mel, Tsai Ming-liang may be a citizen of Malaysia, but he is Chinese by ethnicity. I don't know and don't really care about more specific ethnicity and whether he could thus be considered of Taiwanese origin, but he could be called Taiwanese because he is an ethnic Chinese person who re-located there (only 2% of Taiwanese are aboriginals). Either way it belongs on his article not here. --Ajshm 19:07, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Fair enough (though in most articles – here and elsewhere – people are defined, not by their ethnicity, but by their birthplace or nationality). The current version seems fine to me. Mel Etitis ( &Mu;&epsilon;&lambda; &Epsilon;&tau;&eta;&tau;&eta;&sigmaf; ) 21:04, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
