I know Taiwan today is inhabited by the Han Chinese people. I wonder who lived in Taiwan before the Chinese came? Sundaland is present day Indonesia and Malayasia.

"I wonder who lived in Taiwan before the Chinese came?"

The Formosans. Shang ki shek(sp) excaped from the mainland in, I think, 1949 when the commies took over. The Formosians were treated like second class citizens by the invading Chinese.

"Sundaland is present day Indonesia and Malayasia."

Very small parts of a (once) much larger land mass.
