Is Taiwan a ghost island?

from That's Debatable · host Sharon Lin

Taiwan, ah, this lovely, eclectic, resilient, warm, safe, home we have. Honestly, it's a pretty wonderful place to live. However, there are pros and cons to everything. Have you heard of the term "ghost island" (鬼島)used to describe Taiwan? Many Taiwanese people, expecially the younger generation, use the term describing the frustration they face living in Taiwan. "Taiwan is a ghost island," they say, in a frustrated tone. Emily Y. Wu, co-founder of Ghost Island Media, is here with us today. Hey, in case you haven't noticed, the exact term is in the name of her podcast network. We have to chat with her about this. Is Taiwan a ghost island? Should we be hopeful of the outlooks of our homeland?
