Saw this story on the news last night. Something about this guy 唐博偉, who’s the American husband of a Taipei city counsilor, getting demoted because he took a paternity leave.

He has excellent command of Mandarin. I could only find a report in Chinese:

I’ve met him before but don’t really know him – other than enough to say that his employer really should have understood that he’s not the sort of person to just roll over, especially not on a rights questions.
