Things are a bit different with Taiwan as until the 17th century it was inhabited by its own indigenous people. It was "discovered" in European terms by the Portuguese and claimed by the Dutch in the early 17th century, about the time the Han Chinese started to arrive. It was annexed by China...

I'm beginning to wonder if Trump is in full-blown psychosis. Needless to say, this is not my field of expertise but the introductory paragraphs of the Wikipedia article on the subject do seem to fit very well with what we are seeing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychosis

Corwen is on the A5 and close to its junction with the A494 which ultimately leads towards Liverpool. The A5 runs from London through the Midlands, north of Birmingham and on to the ferry port to Ireland at Holyhead. Within the UK I'd be looking initially at Birmingham / West Midlands or...

We know that what went wrong in Switzerland was that sparklers were used in a situation where they came into contact with highly flammable material because the venue refurbishment had used inappropriate materials, emergency exits were not obvious and were locked, the staircase had been narrowed...

Indeed, but the point I was trying to make was that despite the Swiss tragedy, the people involved in the Madrid restaurant didn't stop and think, "Maybe this isn't such a good idea". Which suggests to me that we will be hearing about another Swiss-type tragedy within the next 10 years.

We have a number of other threads for people missing in the Bristol area, especially young men. For anyone interested in this, there's a useful analysis of who who goes missing in the area and details of a number of cases, some of them less well known...
