This article satirically lists 10 daily behaviors related to Mainland China, warning that the Taiwanese public might be viewed by the government as 'Communist spies' or 'enemy collaborators.'

This article compares how China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Taiwan's Illicit Party Assets Disposition Committee Chairman Ku Li-hsiung handled aggressive reporter questions at separate press conferences. Wang Yi's forceful response to a Canadian journalist in June 2016 versus Ku's contentious exchanges with Taiwan media in August 2016 reveal stark differences between democracies and autocracies in handling public discourse.
This commentary critiques the arguments of the Taiwan Alliance to End the Death Penalty. It points out that while the league claims 'capital punishment does not deter crime,' it avoids data showing that countries without the death penalty often have significantly higher crime rates than those that maintain it. Using the Akihabara massacre as an example, the article argues that resuming executions helps suppress copycat crimes. The core argument is that the Republic of China (R.O.C.) lacks the geographic and financial resources of EU nations to permanently isolate high-risk offenders; thus, calling for abolition under current conditions essentially prioritizes the perpetrator's rights over public safety.
Psychiatrist Li Chun-hong explores the three dilemmas of Taiwan's mental health system through the 'Shake-Shake Brother Incident': confusion of legal responsibilities, lack of community medical care resources, and insufficient public awareness of mental health (de-stigmatization).

This article discusses the legal and moral dilemmas surrounding artificial reproduction sperm banks, citing German court decisions to explore whether donor-conceived children have the right to know the donor's identity, and whether unauthorized use of frozen sperm creates child support obligations. The author argues that while current law protects donor anonymity to preserve family integrity, such rigid restrictions may conflict with human nature. To address potential concerns about decreased donor willingness, the author suggests establishing an impartial third-party institution enabling consensual communication between donor and recipient under proper guidance and counseling, allowing them to recognize each other under regulated conditions—balancing legal requirements with human emotion.
