    Yeh, Jerry is Taiwanese. He moved to US when he was 10 years old.
    In 1994 he started the website, Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web which later became Yahoo!

    Also, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

    I think that Jerry Yang made the first script and he had been helped by other guys to put it's search engine on the internet market.

    Chinaman is a derogatory term, to be more politically correct, I think ahkip has it Chinese-American or Asian-American.

    Acknowledged co-owners/founders of Yahoo are Jerry Yang and David Filo. Filo is more low profile and more involved in technical/ operations now. He was also the initial sponsor/supporter of other famous duo , Larry and Sergei. :)
