Serious way back when (mid 90's) I did some reading on WWII and General McArthur and came across a point where the Navy wanted to skip Luzon and go to Formosa. So I did some reading on the Phillippines and Formosa. I remember coming accross some articles on Taiwan (I'm sure from the Taiwan point of view) and it seemed China never had control of Formosa / Taiwan. From the history of Taiwan "It wasn't until 1887, that the Manchu Imperial authorities decided to declare Taiwan to be a "province" of their Empire: they wanted to outmaneuver the Japanese, who were expanding their influence to the South. The ploy didn't work: in 1895 the Japanese defeated the Manchu's in the Sino-Japanese War, and in the Treaty of Shimonoseki, China ceded Taiwan to Japan in perpetuity (not 99 years, like Hong Kong's New Territories, but in perpetuity, i.e. forever)." I'm sure the Chinese have a different history of Taiwan.
