Maybe so ... what i don't know about it would fill volumes ... here's from wikipedia - 'Initial Han settlement on the island is a rather disputed and there is no document to support this after the period of Dutch settlement. Despite several arguments by Chinese nationalists that Taiwan was discovered by Chinese during the Three Kingdoms era, there is no credible evidence to support the claims.' en.wikipedia.org People have always moved around, everywhere, so i have little doubt that chinese among others washed up on the shores of the island ... same for multiple sources of north american genetics circa 1491 - how could that not happen, fishermen from other continents getting blown off course and surviving the crossing, or just young guys out to see what they could see, through all those centuries? ... there is a lot we'll never know ... some of it is in linguistics though, and research into DNA tells us interesting stuff .... cheers
