It is true that Taiwan was a good strategic place, and it is odd how no great power had any interest in it before the japanese and dutch in the 17th century, but maybe that is because in earlier times the pescadores had shorelines better for big ships than "Formosa."

Interesting, he states that Japan did not simply copy Europe and mostly stayed true to itself.
