    I suggest contacting the site owner first. Then if that fails, issue a takedown notice to their host.

    You can file a DMCA takedown notice with Google but leave that to a VERY last resort.

    There are MANY posts here about the subject.

    I already tried contacting the host and site owner, no response. They're in another country. Taiwan or something.

    Don't talk. Just take legal action.

    I think your best bet is to contact the hosting company as this is the most effective route considering there is no response from the guy who copied your site.
