    Archaeologists say that there is evidence proving human activity in the early Stone Age roughly ten to fifty thousand years ago. The first evidence of aboriginal clans however, wasn’t discovered until the 12th century. This is also when the Chinese Han people started to move to islands that currently belong to Taiwan, including Ponghu. Ponghu is a small island right between Taiwan and China. This island was where it all started. In 1171, the Chinese monarch started putting troops on neighboring islands slowly moving towards the main island of Taiwan. This was a tactical strategy because the Chinese Emperor at the time wanted to conquer Japan. Then about early 16th century, Taiwan became the pirate cove. Many pirates used the island as a base to do their thing. This lasted about 80 years until the Dutch came and cleared the island. The Dutch had a significant impact in Taiwan because they set up schools and started the first massive commercialized trade on the island. Even now, a lot of the older generation knows how to speak Dutch. Between 1626~1642, Taiwan served as a colony of the Dutch. Later the Spanish came along and wanted this island as well. Real conflict didn’t happen until 1655 because the Dutch occupied southern Taiwan whereas the Spanish occupied the northern half. In 1655, because of the competition in trade, the Dutch felt that they had to take out the Spaniards and they did exactly that. Then, in 1885, Taiwan became part of…

    The integration will create more regional collaboration and will enhance the scale productivity, enthusiasm, and ambition of Asean members. AEC will permit simple movement of services, goods, capital, investment, and people by implementing regional integration. The main recognition of regional integration is that there are no established confinements on the trade. This will enable countries to target the produced goods and services in a more productive nature to lower expense which will expand the economy. Free trade without conditions permits lowering of goods and prices, which augments output of goods in necessity by other countries, which will generate employment, increase goods, and lower operating expenses. Also accumulating means of nearby countries will permit development in an economic perspective and also persuade political outlooks from major corporations. Agreements and integration established will lower tax boundaries that are correlated with trades of services, goods, and the elements of induced goods between countries. There are more benefits for Thailand to proceed with regional integration because it is a substantial contingency for Thailand and the region to benefit in a more maintainable approach by a greater economy of scale (Asia News Network, 2012).
