Japan and China by Ezra Vogel would shed some light on what might be a misunderstood history... the idea that the Dutch and Spanish somehow made it it to Taiwan first is ridiculous
The history of Taiwan is super fascinating and surprising! Taiwan was settled by the Dutch and Spanish before the Chinese. The Chinese founder of modern Taiwan (he defeated the Dutch in the 1600s) had a Japanese mother! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Taiwan …

No worries bro shit happens. Zheng He has already made it to East Africa by the 15th Century. The Chinese diaspora and ethnicity is more complicated than the last 100 years.

Chinese had been settling in Taiwan way before Dutch build a military installation to subjugate the locals and Chinese. Ming general defeated the Dutch.

And before the Chinese, the Polynesians settled Taiwan by the way of Southeast Asia.

Absolutely not true - the Dutch and the portugeee only built a couple of fortress near the port. They were running out of food and water so that they either asked for backup from the troops in other countries or worked with the taiwanese locals
