While many modern Taiwanese have Chinese ancestry, the majority consider themselves "Taiwanese" and separate from China. Being smaller in numbers doesn't necessarily make it second tier.
For example: "Among those who are 29 or younger, born after martial law ended in 1987, 78 percent hold an exclusively Taiwanese identity — as do nearly 70 percent of people younger than 40. If this trend continues, a solely Taiwanese identity will prevail as residents’ consensus." - Source .
