Fotolia.com Situated off China's southeastern coast, the island nation of Taiwan is in a unique position. Its proximity to China and Japan, and the Austronesian quarter of South East Asia and Polynesia, has lead to singular mix of people and cultures . Though the country is dominated by Han Chinese influence, the Taiwanese government recognizes 14 indigenous groups. History Fotolia.com People immigrated to Taiwan from throughout Asia and Austronesia. Taiwan has been continuously inhabited for 12 to 15 thousand years. The island's original indigenous people are of Austronesian descent. About 500 CE, significant immigration from mainland China began. The Dutch arrived in 1624. The Spanish subsequently appeared, as did a more organized Chinese force, and the country found itself transitioning to modern social and economic standards, as well as facing the zealotry of Christian missionaries. Japanese occupation forces controlled the country well into the 20th century. Until 2000, Taiwan was run by Chinese exiles the Kuomintang. In that year, the Democratic Progressive Party won the presidency.

Originally only a small part of the Republic of China, it became the entirety of the country when the ROC was defeated by the Communists during the Chinese Civil war in the 1940s. Its political status remains contested to this day, with the People's Republic of China claiming sovereignty, while Taiwan claims complete autonomy. The cultural heritage of Taiwan is quite distinct from that of mainland China. Religion Aboriginal Culture The aborigines of Taiwan are of Austronesian descent, and they first settled the island some 8,000 years ago, long before the Han Chinese made their way to the island in the 17th century. While the aboriginal culture was on the decline for many decades, since the 1990s there has been a resurgence in indigenous pride. Aboriginal culture can now be seen in pop music, tattoos, dress and cuisine. KMT Cultural Policy Following World War II, when control of Taiwan shifted from the Japanese to the Chinese, a major realignment took place. When the nationalist KMT party lost control of mainland China, they blamed it on a lack of morale on the part of the populace, and they underwent a massive campaign to re-educate the citizens of Taiwan. As the mainland Chinese fostered closer connections with the Soviets, the Taiwanese government began forging ties with the Americans, bringing in large numbers of American investors, and promoting English-language schools. In the 1960s and 1970s, as mainland China began eradicating aspects of traditional Chinese culture, the KMT fought back by promoting classic Chinese literature and traditions, creating a blend of Western culture and traditional Chinese culture.
