摘要

荷蘭東印度公司占有臺灣，並以臺灣作為東亞的轉運站。但是公司在臺灣所獲得的中國貿易品全都是華人用戎克船由中國沿岸運來，因此，公司相當依賴華商。當華商不再為公司服務，反而與公司競爭市場時，公司在傳統華人貿易路線無法與華人競爭，其利用臺灣作為東亞貿易轉運站的貿易逐漸萎縮。公司為了繼續經營貿易，只有開創新的貿易航路。而這個貿易航路連結東亞以及南亞，超越亞洲傳統的貿易航路，因此，能繼續的由南亞運貨物到東亞來，維持其亞洲區間貿易的運行。

De Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie was a super trading company in Taiwan, and used Taiwan as an entr epôt in East Asia. The company depended on Chinese merchants very much, buying all the Chinese merchandise from China with the help of Chinese ships. So, when the Chinese merchants began to compete with the Dutch on the market, the Dutch gradually lost its superiority as the leading traders in East Asia. In order to survive, the company had but to find a new trade route connecting East Asia with South Asia rather than following the traditional route. In this way, the company was able to transport goods from South Asia to East Asia, and maintain its Intra-Asian trade.
