They're more Han than the Mainland. There used to be five major ethnic groups in China, hence the five color flag of the republicans. Now there's only basically only one, Han. They acheived this through cultural and ethnic genocide, changing languages, dress and everything else, or wiping people out. A lot of mainland 'Han' aren't actually Han at all, they're Manchu, Mongolian, or some other ethnic group that has been absorbed into the mainland Han.Taiwan's "Han"? I think there's something ironically very "selfish" regarding Communist/Socialist nations
I think that the selfishness of at least the mainland Chinese comes from the intense competition they have to undergo. You're either born with powerful parents or you have to use everyone and everything around you to make it in life. Friends are just people you use, spouses only last till they no longer benefit you, children are born as a replacement to a retirement plan. I do personally know of some exceptions to this, but it works as a general rule of thumb.
