    given that the current population of Xinjiang was settled there by a Chinese state in the first place, after the… Ming? dynasty (I think…) effectively genocided the prior population there.

    It's the Qing dynasty.

    There’s some vaguely interesting discussion toward the end about the fact that the indigenous population of Taiwan tend to support the KMT over the DPP, largely because of patronage networks created by the KMT.

    This is a really sore point among DPP supporters. That is when they aren't pretending Hoklos are indigenous to Taiwan.
