Somehow it doesn't surprise me that Morse wife who didn't like China and the Chinese fell in love with Taiwan's "external aspect". If it means the environment, yeah, that is pretty common. And Taiwan had a gold rush at Keelung? Never knew that.
And apparently angry Taiwanese attacked governor T'ang in 1895 in his taipei office.

the author states that John Dodd brought cliipings of oolong tea from Fukien to Taiwan in 1865, but from what I know the tea was present on the island since the late 18th century.

Looks like Le Gendre was effective in getting a deal with the aborigines of the south.

I wonder what the term "Natives" is supposed to mean here. The author stated that the high camphor profit margins frequently made the natives violate the government monopoly, but who is that?

How did the Japanese move against Korea in that time?

I wonder which other foreign nationals thought that Taiwan was not under effective chinese jurisdiction.

gosh, how many commercia, disputes and anti-christian riots where there in the 1860s and 1870s that the brits needed force?

If what he wrote is true about anti-christian sentiments, no wonder christianized natives felt calmer by the presence of monthly british warship patrols.

So the mandarins had only half-hearted attempts to punish anti-christian rioters. No wonder the british had to intervene.

so their success in curing fever-related and ophthalmic diseases by the missionaries was a factor in anti-christian riots.
