From the Taipei Times, is Taiwan's Gold Card the solution to the country's systemic problems?

The site Free West Media hasn't published any new stories since April 25th.  The site Euractiv now requires registration, which is free, in order to read its articles.  Thus, I might drop these two sources and find replacements for them, which hopefully will be European-based and multinational.
