I've been to both Taipei and Shenzhen within the last month and noticed an incredible difference between the two when it comes to the way children are treated. Taipei: a palpable disdain for children. Literally signs in shops and cafes saying no children allowed. Friends with a kid had a horrible experience with being humiliated and not allowed into Cafe after Cafe even to get take out. Shenzhen: malls and cafes and restaurants etc that I walked past were geared towards families with children, even providing little play areas out the front where they can learn how to make whatever food is being served. https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2026/01/1…
