a large influx of han chinese began in the 1660s with the transition of imperial power from the ming dynasty to the manchurian qing dynasty. many ming loyalists fled to the south, including zheng chenggong alias koxinga, a military leader who fought against the manchu dynasty. he sailed to taiwan in 1661 with thousands of troops, and in a brief military endeavour he drove out the dutch and established the kingdom of tungning, the first chinese state on the island. chinese settlers, mostly from fujian and guangdong, began to migrate to the island. the policy of migration to taiwan was restrictive until 1788, even after the island came under the political control of the qing in 1683.

after conquering "china proper", the manchus identified their state as "china" (中國, "zhōngguó"; "middle kingdom"), and referred to it as "dulimbai gurun" in manchu ("dulimbai" means "central" or "middle," "gurun" means "nation" or "state"). the emperors equated the lands of the qing state (including present-day northeast china, xinjiang, mongolia, tibet and other areas) as "china" in both the chinese and manchu languages, defining china as a multi-ethnic state, and rejecting the idea that "china" only meant han areas. the qing emperors proclaimed that both han and non-han peoples were part of "china". they used both "china" and "qing" to refer to their state in official documents, international treaties (as the qing was known internationally as "china" or the "chinese empire") and foreign affairs, and "chinese language" (manchu: "dulimbai gurun i bithe") included chinese, manchu, and mongol languages, and "chinese people" (中國之人 "zhōngguó zhī rén"; manchu: "dulimbai gurun i niyalma") referred to all subjects of the empire. in the chinese-language versions of its treaties and its maps of the world, the qing government used "qing" and "china" interchangeably. the dynasty was sometimes referred to as the "manchu dynasty" or "pure dynasty" in foreign-language sources.
