Description:
The gripping story of Taiwan, from the flood myths of ancient legend to its 'Asian Tiger' economic miracle - and the looming threat of invasion by China.




Once dismissed by the Kangxi Emperor as nothing but a 'ball of mud', Taiwan has a modern GDP larger than that of Sweden, in a land area smaller than Indiana. It is the last surviving enclave of the Republic of China, a lost colony of Japan, and claimed by Beijing as a rogue province - merely the latest chapters in its long history as a refuge for pirates, rebels, settlers, and outcasts.




In Rebel Island, Jonathan Clements offers a concise and vivid telling of Taiwan's complex island story, beginning with the unique conditions of its archaeology before examining its indigenous history and its days as a Dutch and Spanish trading post. He delves into its periods as an independent kingdom, Chinese province, and short-lived republic, and the transformations wrought by 50 years as part of the Japanese Empire.




In 1949, the island became a lifeboat for two million refugees from the Chinese Communist Revolution, and the White Terror began. Later chapters explain the recent conflicts that have emerged after the suspension of four decades of martial law, as the Taiwanese debate issues of self-determination, independence, and home rule - all under the watchful gaze of President Xi Jinping, and politicians around the world.



Rebel Island is an essential guide to Taiwan's past and present, providing invaluable context at a time of escalating tension over its future.

Heavy-Duty, Reliable, and Perfect for Outdoor Use
Size: 50 FT, Style: 16/3 Extension Cord, Color: Black, Size: 50 FT, Style: 16/3 Extension Cord, Color: Black
I’m really impressed with this HUANCHAIN 50ft extension cord! The quality is excellent — it’s thick, durable, and clearly built to handle both indoor and outdoor use. The waterproof design is a huge plus, especially for powering outdoor lights, tools, or holiday decorations. It’s handled rain and damp conditions without any problems. The 16/3 gauge wire provides a strong, steady connection, and the cord stays flexible even in cold weather — no stiff or tangled mess like cheaper cords. The 50-foot length gives me plenty of reach for yard projects, and the black color blends in nicely. Overall, this is a well-made, dependable extension cord that feels like it’ll last for years. Great value for the price — I’d definitely buy HUANCHAIN again!

NICE CORD - GOOD PURCHASE
Size: 50 FT, Style: 16/3 Extension Cord, Color: Black
Purchased to use with an electric outdoor dusk to dawn light that needs to be plugged in but I needed an extension cord to reach the outlet. This worked perfectly. I also liked that the cord is very pliable. It would be easy to roll up if you just need an extension cord occasionally.

Extension cord
Size: 50 FT, Style: 16/3 Extension Cord, Color: Black
Cheaply made but has strong plugends. I wish the insulation was like more like the heavy duty outside extension. Cords. This cord is still good especially for the price. The male and female ends are high grade plugs it looks like. Just wish they woulda placed a thicker outer insulation over the extension cord but it’s water proof and can be used outside it’s worth buy for long cord for the price

Good Product
Size: 50 FT, Style: 16/3 Extension Cord, Color: Black
I bought this for some Christmas decorations and it worked out well. I probably could have found a cheaper one in a store but it was convenient to buy it online and it arrived quickly. Great for outdoor use and I'm sure it will last a long time.
