#MeToo Allegations Emerge from Taiwanese Netflix Show 'Wave Makers'

The Netflix hit show "Wave Makers" has sparked a wave of #MeToo allegations in Taiwan, causing high-level resignations within the ruling Democratic Progressive Party and prompting President Tsai Ing-wen to issue a public apology. The accusations have caused the DPP's favorability ratings to plummet just as Taiwan gears up for a tough presidential election campaign. The ruling party risks losing to the nationalist Kuomintang, which prioritizes closer ties with China. The accusations haven't been limited to the DPP, with people across Taiwan coming forward with experiences of harassment by university professors, doctors, directors, and baseball umpires.
