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

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.
