Then in the second half we take a look at mass protests in Taiwan’s South and Center over pollution, more deportations of ROC nationals to China over suspected telecom crimes committed abroad, and societal divisions on display as veterans protest proposed pension reforms.
Then in the podcast bonus section we discuss Starbucks recently announced price-hike, and why Gavin just doesn’t care about it.
