Is Taiwan a settler colonial state? (lemmygrad.ml)

I remember when I was first learning about settler colonialism, I thought to myself: “Huh, this sounds like Taiwan and Israel” My instincts were correct on Israel, but I never looked too deeply into Taiwan. The fact that the Kuomintang displaced the Austronesian natives is a pretty strong indicator, but is Taiwan really a settler colonial state or are my intuitions wrong?

Yes Taiwan is. But the Netherlands and previous Chinese dynasties imported Chinese settlers from Fujian Province to settle the Islands.
