Taiwan, formerly known as Formosa, is the island to which the Nationalist Forces of Chiang Kai-Shek fled after being defeated by Mao’s Communist People’s Army. This mountainous island, a former Portuguese and Dutch colony, was once inhabited by many different tribes, but has now been transformed into a modern country, one of Asia's so-called paper tigers. |
