A woman who was born in Taiwan and is running for One Nation says party leader Pauline Hanson was right to warn about Australia being swamped by Asians 20 years ago.

But Shan Ju Lin believes Ms Hanson was talking about the Chinese, and has told the ABC "good Asians" will vote for One Nation at the next Queensland election.

She told the ABC that "European people" find it hard to distinguish between Chinese and people from other parts of Asia.

She believes Ms Hanson was right to use her maiden speech to federal parliament 20 years ago to warn Australia was at risk from a tide of Asian immigrants.
