🇹🇼 The 'Easily Fooled Taiwanese' Series: The Truth Behind the Universiade's International Embarrassment
A critique of the controversies surrounding the 2017 Summer Universiade opening ceremony in Taipei. The author argues that characterizing anti-pension reform protests as an 'international disgrace' lacks global perspective. Instead, the real disgrace lies in the broken promise to host the games in the Taipei Dome, which remains in a state of construction limbo under the Ko Wen-je administration. The piece satirizes the perceived forgetfulness of the Taiwanese public and draws parallels between broken international promises and domestic pension reforms.
