Generally these troops could hold Formosa and even Hainan. Telling of his visit to Chinmen Island off Amoy only two weeks after the Communists landed 10,000 troops there, he said: "Although the Communists landed behind as well as in front of the Nationalists, the defenders fought back and with reinforcements, destroyed the Communist invaders. They killed 3,000 and captured 6,000-plus enough equipment to arm in full all the Nationalist troops on Chinmen, only 60 per cent of whom had firearms, and two divisions on Formosa as well."

en 2014 Ziro Komiya; Alain Drumont Supplement to the Genus Megobaralipton (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Prioninae) Elytra New series Tokyo http://coleoptera.sakura.ne.jp/ElytraNS/4-2_187.pdf 4 2 2185-6885 903591267 195–196 In 2013, we knew that two types, one from Taiwan and the other from Amoi, had been found in NMHN and we could use them for this study. Thus, suddenly we could see syntypes of three localities indicated by FAIRMAIRE (1900). Additionally, Dr. CHOU (2004) rediscovered this species at Chinmen Is. of Fujian Province and we examined a pair from him.[...]Additionally, the examples of Chinmen Is. illustrated by W. CHOU (2004) included both sexes of which the male showed conspicuous difference from male syntypes whilst the female indicated same characteristics as that of Xiamen. This time we could examine a pair example from Chinmen Is. got by W. CHOU in 2005 and confirmed the above-mentioned facts. Thus we concluded that the specimens from Xiamen and Chinmen Is. should be regarded as a different taxon from that of Taiwan and Fuzhou, and we name this taxon as choui subsp. nov. and give the description below. https://web.archive.org/web/20220302114037/http://coleoptera.sakura.ne.jp/ElytraNS/4-2_187.pdf 2 March 2022

Results reveal a very fast cooling of the ZIC plutons after magmas emplaced at ~100 Ma which matches the field observations that they were very shallow intrusives. Relatively, the Chinmen area would be a geodynamically active terrain during Early Cretaceous in response to the deep emplacement of https://web.archive.org/web/20240415162618/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1367912020303059 15 April 2024
