Taiwan President Apologizes Twice in Week for #MeToo Allegations

Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen apologized for a second time in a week over sexual harassment allegations involving the ruling Democratic Progressive Party, after one of her policy advisers resigned following accusations being made against him.

“As the President and former DPP chair, I’d like to apologize to the public again with the development of sexual harassment incidents by former party workers,” Tsai, Taiwan’s first female president, said in her Facebook post late Tuesday. “We’ve also seen such cases are everywhere, not only in the DPP or other political parties, but also in workplaces of society and neighborhoods.”
