Political: The Dutch used Taiwan as a trading base not as a colony so they didn't really "Rule" over Taiwan but they did take over the towns and put in a unpaid governing system.

Social Impacts

The Dutch made many of the Jobs in Taiwan Equally paying. But the Taiwanese already lived like that, The Dutch just gave them more jobs.

This type of pay also meant there wasn't much of a wage gap so there weren't "rich" people and "poor" people.
