    Is this “we’re an island of indigenous peoples” a newer strategy? Seems kind of silly given the whole ‘government in exile from the mainland’ thing.

      The DPP wants independence, so dropping the “government in exile” make sense, although they haven’t actually done that. It’s still the Republic of China. Westerners usually say it’s because the PRC would get mad if Taiwan stopped claiming to be the legitimate government of China.

      But having the population be 2.6% indigenous, 96% “other” just sounds like they’re admitting they’re colonizers that don’t belong. Doesn’t seem to advance the goal of independence.

        Because they are settlers who have pushed indigenous peoples into the mountains and off the coast, and up until very recently, didn’t recognize all native Taiwanese peoples as distinct ethnic groups.

            The Taiwanese government has acknowledged at least 400 years of oppression of indigenous peoples. It got worse once the ROK was founded and a lot of people fleeing the PRC moved into the island, but it was never great in the first place.
