Marcos, Re: "the indigenous were an Austronesian people". I think there was already a considerable Chinese population in the coastal areas of Taiwan when the Europeans arrived, with the indigenous peoples, relatives of the Iggorats in the Philippines, living further inland. There were Chinese coastal communities in the Philippines going back to the Sung Dynasty and when the Spanish were invading Luzon in the 1560's there was a Chinese who had converted to Islam casting bronze cannon at Manila. They dig up tons of Sung porcelain there. Most lowland peoples were Malay with the Austronesians in the high mountains. I think Taiwan had a similar makeup then.
