People in Indonesia and Thailand have recently begun studying their histories too, and papers and studies have been coming out on the Dutch colonies, but no one on Taiwan at present is really involved in it except for Mr. Ts'ao Yung-ho (a scholar at National Taiwan University).
事實上，這段歷史研究的人太少了，以日本來說，持續研究荷據台灣史的，就只有我一人。至於台灣，台大吳密察曾與東京大學另一名研究台灣近代史學者若林正丈談到這個問題。
