Only country that fits the description of Chinese dominated but not Chinese is Singapore.

Singapore is not chinese dominated. It is 70% people of ethnically chinese decent.

>It is 70% people of ethnically chinese decent

That is the problem, the Chinese view is that ethnic Chinese is Chinese. The word Chinese has double meaning and get muddle up a lot. Unfortunately there doesn't seems to be another accepted English word for ethnic Chinese.

Taiwan

I doubt it is Taiwan, the only country I could think of that fits the description is Malaysia.

Taiwan promotes nationalism of its own nation, although it's nowhere near as hardline as the mainland.

> Taiwan promotes nationalism of its own nation

Huh?

Kuomintang for a long time considered themselves a "tru Chinese", carriers of the spirit of the Chinese nation (as opposd to those godless commies).

Regardless of your political views, Taiwan is a different China from mainland China. There are a lot of initiatives to promote a Taiwanese identity such as MIT (Made in Taiwan) and Taiwanization.
