(ii) 宜蘭縣 蘇澳鎮公所 http://www.suao.gov.tw/releaseRe ... 183&pageID=3039
("歷史由來： 蘇澳古為番社盤居，漢人鮮人，當時稱『港口』、『東港』、內地稱『施八坑』，相傳於清嘉慶二十五年間，有一位福建泉州人氏蘇士尾者率鄉勇四十四人扺此墾荒有成而定居，後人為紀念先賢蘇氏開疆拓土功績，將其姓『蘇』字與港灣的『澳』字結合，稱之為【蘇澳】")

(i) first island chain http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/first_island_chain
(Etymology From a Mandarin term)
(ii) Yesterday in a local bookstore I browsed through
Robert D Kaplan; The Revenge of Geography; What the map tells us about coming conflicts and the battle against fate. Random House, 2012. http://www.robertdkaplan.com/
, which said the same thing as Wiktionary. In fact, up until yesterday I thought the term was invented by Westerners. (He maintains in the book that taking control of Taiwan (the island alone, setting aside human resources) would provide China liberating effect psychologically on prohjecting naval power.) Mr Kaplan's book also asserted that Mongols' incursion from the north ended Ming dynasty's foray into Indian Ocean; before both Taiwnaese and Western books said the foray ended inexplicably. Because Mr Kaplan's book is for general audience, he does not supply proof for these two propositions.
(iii) I left Taiwean in 1984. Before that, I had not heard of the term in Taiwan.
