#MeToo Movement Shakes Taiwan's Politics and Culture

A hit Netflix series in Taiwan, "Wave Makers," has sparked a #MeToo reckoning in the country, with more than a dozen real-life accusations involving political figures and others. The show's sexual harassment plot line has attracted the most attention and made waves in real life. The allegations have rocked the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), prompting resignations in its upper ranks and public apologies from President Tsai Ing-wen. The opposition Kuomintang (KMT) party has also been hit, and has vowed to probe a sexual harassment allegation against one of its lawmakers.
