If you could keep them till my return to Taiwan in February, I would be happy to collect them!

This is not my point.
There are lots of places in Taiwan full of beauty / special features. However, many of those locations fall victim to greed for money - the attractive features are being destroyed in the process. Thus, pink-coloured glasses need to come off sometimes and reality to be named.

It’s not at all clear to me how the BBC can do any kind of serious journalism if its top two bosses can be forced to quit over such an obviously confected scandal. There is no substantive error here. How can the BBC report on Trump, or Farage, or anyone else, in these circumstances?

It wasn‘t even a “rant” as you labelled it, but a valid and important argument you made regarding a key factor for Taiwan‘s future.
