Re: Why don't Singapore PROMOTE Teochew, Hokkien, Hakka, Wu, Gan speaking movie and s
In the beginning of Taiwan, there were no Chinese or people of Chinese descent there. There were only sparse hilly tribes that had nothing to do with China. The Chinese in Taiwan mostly came from Fujian fishers and seafarers who got tired of ancient and medieval dynastic politics on China and even fugitives from Chinese imperial laws and settled in Taiwan. They did build the towns and cities of Taiwan and the hilly tribes couldn't be bothered as long as they were left alone in their own lifestyles. As years and centuries went by, ethnic Chinese became the majority in Taiwan and the whole Taiwan became de facto Chinese.
The Chinese in Taiwan still practised Chinese culture and have links of relations in China. They lived happily there as long as the Chinese dynasties didn't go to bother them, as the Chinese dynasties couldn't be bothered with them too. It was paradise without notion of country, government, police and army. It was until the Portugese and the Dutch discovered Taiwan and fought over it that China first laid claim on Taiwan officially as part of China.
