Taiwan: The political mood

Business Daily

Available for over a year

The military threat from China, which claims Taiwan as its own, has dominated global headlines of late. But ahead of elections, most voters here say it’s low wages and property prices that are preying on their minds. Are politicians listening? We also explore Taiwan's low birth rate - is it a financial decision for young couples not to have children and get a pet instead? Produced and presented by Ed Butler.
