Cat Chat

What cat breeds are native to, are found in and are being developed in Taiwan?

Hello. I am interested in and am doing research on Taiwanese cat breeds and cat breeds in other parts of Asia for a project I'm working on.

Does anyone here have any information on cat breeds that are popular in Taiwan, and cat breeds that are native to in Taiwan, and are being developed in Taiwan?

Please let me know. Any info you have pertaining to this would be very valuable, and I would appreciate your help. Thank you.
I'd like to know what cat breeds originated in Taiwan, and I'd like to know are the Chinese White and the Dragon Li, which are two recent Chinese Cat breeds, found in Taiwan also?
