Abstract:
How should Taiwan understand the Qing Empire? And where does Taiwan stand in today's "East Asia"? All must trace the theme of "the confusion between the Qing Empire and China" to find the answer. From Kangxi's conquest of Taiwan to Guangxu's cession of Taiwan, Taiwan had close relations with the Qing Empire. The author of this book believes that this period of history must be understood from the perspective of the "Inner Asian Empire" and that by breaking away from the fetters of China, "Taiwan's positioning" can be determined within the framework of Inner Asian and East Asian history.
