It is a huge waste of resources. Mostly useless feel good pieces. The only thing I saw critical of Taiwan was about rent discrimination and even that was extremely watered down

I wonder what they would do with my story at DBS. Maybe they would be like a poster on this forum, it’s your fault for not wearing a suit.

They also did good on the report of disabled permanent resident who could not get disability recognized officially.
Taiwanese government is still nitpicking which nationalities to give disability and that nitpicking process is still ongoing. Why make it easy if you can make it complicated?

Disagree. Take a look at all the news they produced about Taiwan in the last week or so at the link below.
There are critical stories especially under labor but elsewhere too. For example, the wage gap story in economics or bilingual policy under Education.
And new is just part of the content they produce.
There’s certainly room for improvement. But they are producing a healthy stream of decent quality that dwarfs anything else available. At the same time, they are training up Taiwanese talent and capacity to tell Taiwan’s story to the world.

Stop being so anthropocentric!

They don’t even have A(P)RC’s! 
Deport them!
If so, we can learn from certain parts of the US population:
Wait, are you saying that’ll completely f&ck up Taiwan’s economy? That it would also be a stupid own goal? I guess those people might not be a great model to follow.

Sally Jensen, one of a group of excellent reporters for Taiwan Plus, is apparently moving to AFP to report now from SE Asia.
