We discuss the week’s top political news including the Presidential Office’s decision to deny former President Ma Ying-jeou permission to visit an awards ceremony in Hong Kong, and current President Tsai Ing-wen’s upcoming trip to Paraguay and Panama, which will serve as her administration’s first test on the international stage. Then in the second half of the show, we take a look at the outpouring of condemnation following the release of a video in which a self-proclaimed citizen journalist is seen berating an elderly veteran, and we round things out with a conversation on Taiwan’s energy options in the coming years, as the opposition to nuclear power gains critical mass.
