A thorough reorganization and redivisioning of the island was now necessitated. In former days, Formosa comprised one complete prefecture, four districts and three sub-prefectures. Now the island became a province with four prefectures (Taipeh, Taiwan, Tainan, and Taitung), eleven districts, and three sub-prefectures.

1903, James W. Davidson, The Island of Formosa Past and Present, page 244:

In 1987 and 1988, 12 deaths among prisoners were questioned by Taiwan human rights groups. Incidents occurred in prisons and detention centers under the jurisdiction of both civil and military authorities. In one instance, eight prison guards were convicted in July for torturing to death a Taitung detention center prisoner. They received sentences ranging from 10 months to 4 years.

The gray sand and rock coastline of Taitung county is almost 144 miles long, but few people live there, thanks to its penchant for typhoons and earthquakes. The Chinese did not establish themselves in the region until the late nineteenth century, and even by the 1970s few Mandarin-speaking Nationalist Chinese had made their way south to Taitung.

Pingtung

c. 1940s, from Wade–Giles romanization of Chinese 屏東 (Píngdōng) Wade-Giles romanization: Pʻing²-tung¹.

Another obvious deficiency of the Nationalists is their lack of understanding of the importance of maintaining equipment. They're great at repairing equipment, but they also have a talent for wrecking it. At the Pingtung air base is a hangar full of airplane engines, 101 of them at last count. They haven't run a mile, and they are rotten with rust.

The 6-ton fishing boat Kuanghua 16638 was slammed by the communist vessel near the Liuchuan reefs off the coast of Chukuang and drifted toward Nanchu after the collision.

On a clear day, up to hundreds of Chinese dredging ships illegally mining for sand can be spotted from the Matsu Islands. The islands, administered as Lienchiang County by Taipei, are located 200 kilometers from the main island of Taiwan, but only 20 kilometers off the coast of China’s Fujian province. Once on the frontlines of the Cold War between the Communists and the Taiwan-based Nationalists, the islands currently face a different type of threat. People in Matsu are concerned about the increasing numbers of illegal dredgers pumping tons of sand from the seabed, often invading waters within 6,000 meters of the islands, which are considered restricted waters by Taiwan’s coast guard.[...]

[ʈʊwŋ͡m˧˧ waː˧˧ jəŋ˧˧ wək̚˦˥]

Sino-Vietnamese word from 中華民國, composed of 中華 (“China”) and 民國 (“republic”), from Mandarin 中華民國／中华民国 (Zhōnghuá Mínguó), coined by Sun Yat-sen, who deliberately avoided the term 共和国 (kyōwakoku, “republic”) popularly established by the Japanese. 民國／民国 (mínguó) was later adopted by the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea for the republican name of Korea (now, only South Korea), 대한민국 (Daehanmin'guk), whence Vietnamese Đại Hàn Dân Quốc. Despite Sun's intention, the very first articles of the current Constitutions of both countries still reference 民國／民国 (mínguó, “republic”), 民主 (mínzhǔ, “republican; democratic”) and 共和國／共和国 (gònghéguó, “republic”), terms which were more or less interchangeable when they were first adopted.
第一條 中華民國基於三民主義，為民有民治民享之民主共和國。
Article 1 The Republic of China, founded on the Three Principles of the People, shall be a democratic republic of the people, to be governed by the people and for the people.

A report by Global Times, a state-run newspaper, said teachers in Yilan County held up a banner that said: “We are 4,000 Yilan teachers. Return my withheld money!”
In China, teaching has long been a profession with relatively low pay. Teachers from Yilan had posted a letter online that said educators who have worked for 20 years make just over $320 per month, and new teachers make $160 — “even more pathetic,” according to the letter.

Bashi Channel

From Bashi + channel. Bashee, later Bashi, is from a local language term for a type of liquor drunk plentifully by the crew of William Dampier when they landed on an island south of the channel, as reported in Dampier's book the popular sensation A New Voyage Round the World (page 422) published in 1697. According to Dampier, the crew named the island after the liquor. The channel would take the name of the island. (See also basi.)

The islands on the North side of the Bashi Channel will be described hereafter.

1878, Alexander George Findlay, A Directory for the Navigation of the Indian Archipelago, China, and Japan, 2nd edition, Richard Holmes Laurie, page 939:

Spain and Japan, having had some disagreements respecting the possession of certain islands lying between the Japanese Archipelago and the Philippines, have agreed that the Bashi Channel shall form the boundary between the possessions of the two States.

1896, “Geographical Notes”, in The Scottish Geographical Magazine, volume XII, Edinburgh: T. and A. Constable, page 101:

The Batanes are separated from Formosa by the Bashi Channel, which has a minimum depth of 1,009 fathoms, and from the Babuyanes by the Balintang Channel, which has a minimum depth of 95 fathoms.

1920, “Batanes Islands”, in Census of the Philippine Islands: 1918, volume 1, Manila: Bureau of Printing, page 95:

Although the southern tip of Formosa is 225 miles from Luzon, the small islands at the northern end of the Philippines archipelago are separated from Formosa by only the 100-mile wide Bashi channel.

Dr. Angelesio Tugado, chairman of the International Development Center of the Philippines, stressed the importance of the strategic position of the Philippines and the Republic of China in the Taiwan Straits and the Bashi Channel, describing the two countries as key elements in maintaining stability and peace in the Western Pacific.

1981 August 16, “U.S. urged to strengthen links with free world to protect Pacific area”, in Free China Weekly, volume XXII, number 32, Taipei, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 1:

One sample question: How will Chinese ballistic-missile submarines (SSBNs) based at Sanya, on Hainan Island, reach patrol grounds in the western Pacific should Beijing choose to send them out? To maintain stealth, SSBNs would first have to evade any adversary picket submarines lying offshore. Once in deep water, they would cruise eastward toward the Philippines. In all likelihood Chinese boats would exit through the Luzon Strait, the narrow sea between Taiwan and the Philippine island of Luzon.
Or, more precisely, maritime geography will force them to exit through the narrow Bashi Channel, near the northern edge of the strait.

Lieh Hsü

From the Wade–Giles romanization of the Mandarin 烈嶼 (Lieh⁴ Hsü⁴).

Peiping's defection appeals for the first time have been directed to Lieh Hsu (Little Quemoy). A 1 September broadcast called on the commander and his subordinates to "send someone to contact us" and to "be ready to lead all personnel" to cross over. The appeal was coupled with the warning that before long Communist artillery fire will "completely demolish your positions."

[1958 September 2, “Central Intelligence Bulletin”, in CIA, page 1:

A shoal, with general depths of less than 3 fathoms, extends about 1 ½ miles southward of the entire south shore of Lieh Hsü. Foul ground extends about ⅔ mile west-northwestward from Feng Hsü, the southwest extremity of Lieh Hsü.

Chin-men

From the Wade–Giles romanization of the Mandarin 金門 (Chin¹-mên²).

Chʻiu was a native of Hsiao-teng Township, Chin-men, and was also a fourth-generation pupil of Chu Hsi.⁸ The list of outstanding men of Chin-men in section 4 of chapter 9 includes only Chʻiu Kʻuei, thus indicating that the other Tʻung-an natives were not from Chin-men.

1989, Wing-tsit Chan, “Chu Hsi and Chin-men (Quemoy)”, in Chu Hsi New Studies, Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 561:

Since 1949, Taiwan has remained under Nationalist (Kuomintang) control along with the off-shore islands of Chin-men (Kinmen) and Ma-tsu (Lien-chiang County) in Fujian Province. Chin-men and Lien-chiang County are to end their period of direct military rule and to elect their first country magistrates in 1993.

He was succeeded by his eldest son, Cheng Ching (鄭經), who pulled out of Amoy and Chin-men (金門) not long after taking the reigns from his father.

When the PLA artillery units across from Chin-men began shelling the island heavily in late August 1959, the National Security Council requested an Estimate on Chinese Communist intentions. SNIE 100-9-58 reiterated that the actions were intended to test U.S. and “Republic of China” government intentions, but that China’s armed forces, while they had the capability to attack the offshore islands, were “probably deterred because of their fear of U.S. intervention.”

Tʻai-pei

From the Wade–Giles romanization of the Mandarin 臺北／台北 (Tʻai²-pei³).

Although all of the island receives 40 inches of rainfall a year, except for a very narrow strip along the west coast, precipitation is seasonally and locally variable. Most of it falls between May and September, except in the northeast where 60-100 inches is fairly well distributed throughout the year. Here the prevailing winds are northerly and northeasterly and bring rain to T'ai-pei and I-lan hsien.

1953, Norton S. Ginsburg, The Economic Resources and Development of Formosa, Institute of Pacific Relations, page 4:

Situated in the centre of the largest agricultural basin in northern Formosa, T’ai-pei (population in 1964 was estimated to be 1,117,000) forms the nucleus of a major industrial area. The T’ai-pei industrial complex includes light and heavy industies within the urbanized area and also in several industrial suburbs, including Pan-ch’iao and Nan-chiang.

1968, Norton S. Ginsburg, “T’AI-PEI”, in Encyclopedia Britannica, volume 21, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 627, column 2:

In addition to SEADAG, I am also indebted to the University of Chicago, Committee on Far Eastern Studies, for supporting a year of additional language study in T'ai-wan and to the Inter-University Program for Chinese Languages Studies in T'ai-pei (administered by Stanford University) for round trip travel assistance to T'ai-wan.

On Dec. 8, 1949, T'ai-pei, on the island of Formosa, to which Chiang Kai-shek and many of his followers had fled, was declared the Nationalist Capital.

1974, D. E. H. Russell, Rebellion, Revolution, and Armed Force, Academic Press, →ISBN, page 111:

After the communists came to power on the Chinese mainland in 1949, the nationalists fled to the island and set up a rival government of China in T'ai-pei.

Liu-kuei

From Mandarin 六龜 (Liùguī) Wade–Giles romanization: Liu⁴-kuei¹.

We should also not overlook the involvement of some Mountain Aborigines from nearby He-piao-hu (in today's San-min Township, Kaohsiung County) and Liu-kuei-li (Lakuli; today's Liu-kuei Township, Kaohsiung County), who either fought alongside the rebels or attempted to launch their own uprisings in response to the Ta-pa-ni Incident (see chapters 5 and 6).
