Introduction

Shortcuts

Taiwan, officially theRepublic of China (ROC), is a country inEast Asia. The mainisland of Taiwan, also known asFormosa, lies between theEast andSouth China Seas in the northwesternPacific Ocean, with thePeople's Republic of China (PRC) to the northwest,Japan to the northeast, and thePhilippines to the south. It has an area of 35,808 square kilometres (13,826 square miles), with mountain ranges dominating the eastern two-thirds and plains in the western third, where itshighly urbanized population is concentrated. The combinedterritories under ROC control consist of168 islands in total covering 36,193 square kilometres (13,974 square miles). Thelargest metropolitan area is formed byTaipei (the capital),New Taipei City, andKeelung. With around 23.9 million inhabitants, Taiwan is among themost densely populated countries.

Taiwan has been settled for at least 25,000 years. Ancestors ofTaiwanese indigenous peoples settled the island around 6,000 years ago. In the 17th century, large-scaleHan Chinese immigration began underDutch colonial rule and continued under theKingdom of Tungning, the first predominantly Han Chinese state inTaiwanese history. The island wasannexed in 1683 by theQing dynasty andceded to theEmpire of Japan in 1895. TheRepublic of China, which hadoverthrown the Qing in 1912 under the leadership ofSun Yat-sen, assumed control following thesurrender of Japan inWorld War II. With the loss ofmainland China to theCommunists in theChinese Civil War, thegovernment of the Republic of China moved to Taiwan in 1949 under theKuomintang (KMT).

From the early 1960s, Taiwan saw rapid economic growth and industrialization known as the "Taiwan Miracle". In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the ROC transitioned from aone-party state undermartial law to amulti-party democracy, with democratically elected presidents beginning in1996. Taiwan'sexport-oriented economy is the21st-largest in the world by nominal GDP and the20th-largest by PPP measures, with a focus on steel, machinery, electronics, and chemicals manufacturing. Taiwan is adeveloped country. It is ranked highly in terms ofcivil liberties,healthcare, andhuman development.

Thepolitical andinternational status of Taiwan is contentious. Despite being a founding member, the ROC no longer represents China as a member of theUnited Nations after UN members voted in 1971 torecognize the PRC instead. The ROC maintained its claim to be the solelegitimate representative of China and its territory until 1991, when it ceased toregard the Chinese Communist Party as a rebellious group and acknowledged its control over mainland China. Taiwan is claimed by the PRC, which refuses to establish diplomatic relations with countries that recognise the ROC. Taiwanmaintains official diplomatic relations with 11 out of 193 UN member states and theHoly See. Many others maintain unofficial diplomatic ties throughrepresentative offices and institutions that function asde facto embassies and consulates. International organizations in which the PRC participates either refuse to grant membership to Taiwan or allow it to participate on a non-state basis. Domestically, the major political contention is between thePan-Blue Coalition, which favors eventualChinese unification under the ROC and promoting apan-Chinese identity, contrasted with thePan-Green Coalition, which favors eventualTaiwan independence and promoting aTaiwanese identity; in the 21st century, both sides have moderated their positions to broaden their appeal.

All territories ever controlled by the maritime force of the Zheng dynasty depicted in red; its historical sphere of influence shown in peach

TheKingdom of Tungning, also known asTywan, was a dynasticmaritime state that ruled part of southwestern Taiwan and thePenghu islands between 1661 and 1683. It is the first predominantlyethnic Han state inTaiwanese history. At its zenith, the kingdom's maritime power dominated varying extents of coastal regions in southeastern China and controlled the majorsea lanes across bothChina Seas, and its vast trade network stretched from Japan to Southeast Asia.

The kingdom was founded byKoxinga (Zheng Chenggong) afterseizing control of Taiwan fromDutch rule. Zheng hoped to restore theMing dynasty inMainland China, whenthe Ming remnants' rump state in southern China wasprogressively conquered by theManchu-ledQing dynasty. The Zheng dynasty used the island of Taiwan as a military base for theirMing loyalist movement which aimed to reclaimChina proper from the Qing dynasty. Under Zheng rule, Taiwan underwent a process ofSinicization in an effort to consolidate the last stronghold ofHan Chinese resistance against the invading Manchus. Until its annexation by the Qing dynasty in 1683, the kingdom was ruled by Koxinga's heirs, theHouse of Koxinga, and the period of rule is sometimes referred to as theKoxinga dynasty or theZheng dynasty.

A sample ofPe̍h-ōe-jī text

Pe̍h-ōe-jī (/peɪweɪˈdʒiː/pay-way-JEE;Taiwanese Hokkien:白話字,pronounced[pe˩ˀo̯e̞˩d͡ʑi˧]^ⓘ,lit. 'vernacular writing';POJ), also known asChurch Romanization, is an orthography used to write variants ofHokkien Southern Min, particularlyTaiwanese andAmoy Hokkien. It is widely employed as one of the writing systems for Southern Min. During its peak, it had hundreds of thousands of readers.

Developed by Westernmissionaries working among theChinese diaspora inSoutheast Asia in the 19th century and refined by missionaries working inXiamen andTainan, it uses a modifiedLatin alphabet and somediacritics to represent the spoken language. After initial success inFujian, POJ became most widespread inTaiwan and, in the mid-20th century, there were over 100,000 people literate in POJ. A large amount of printed material, religious and secular, has been produced in the script, includingTaiwan's first newspaper, theTaiwan Church News. (Full article...)
