The Taiwanese Ministry of the Interior[1] estimated that the population of Taiwan[2] in 2012 was 23,268,087. A census is carried out every ten years. The last census was held in 2010, and an official population of 23,162,000 was recorded. The Peoples Republic of China[3] claims sovereignty over Taiwan, and as you can see from our article about the population of China, data on Taiwans population is included in official Government figures there too.
Taiwan DemographicsThe vast majority (98%) of people living on Taiwan are Han Chinese, including around 12% of the population who are classified as Waishengren; a people who fled from mainland China after the Chinese Civil War (and their descendants).
