Arthur Chu added,
All our pirate tropes may come from the Caribbean but those pirates are so weaksauce compared to the long and glorious history of piracy in the South China Sea
Hell, the national historical hero and ruler of Taiwan has his ancestral root in piracy.
Really Taiwan should more enthusiastically embrace the island's reputation in Imperial Chinese times as a lawless haven for pirates and outlaws and rebels and dissidents fleeing imperial justice
Taiwan's history is totally that stock trope from fantasy novels etc. of "Pirate's Cove" or whatever The whole Mos Eisley Cantina/Black Rock Spire Outpost thing
