Taiwan Governor Of South China And Southeast Asia Extension Into The Policy

When the Japan Empire is studied in regard to its expansion policy during Formosa's colonial period, Taiwan is often viewed as the springboard of its Southern Expansion Policy due to its special geographic location at the southern fringe of the empire. But besides holding a strategic position for national defense, Taiwan's chiefly ethnic Han population offered a link to the Chinese of South East Asia and those throughout southern China. Since these all shared many of the same racial and cultural traits, the colonial government allowed Taiwan residences to serve as "assistants" in Japan's southward expansion.This essay examines how the colonial government exploited the labor and capital of Taiwanese to enhance and strengthen its Southern Expansion Policy throughout South East Asia and southern China and reviews the activities and conditions of Taiwanese residing throughout South East Asia and in the South China Area. It further examines the role of Taiwan residence under their colonial government in promoting this policy and the southern expansion of business during the 1895 to 1945 colonial period. This research on Taiwan citizens hopes to shed light on past policies that may better let us understand their impact on cross-strait relations.The essay consists of five chapters, an introduction, and a conclusion.Chapter One studies the role Taiwan played during the southern expansion in the Japanese Taisyo Era.
