It's not wrong, but...

The Taipei Times printed an editorial titled Taiwan still a good place to learn Mandarin complaining that an article in Time magazine ignored Taiwan as a place to study Mandarin. It's not that Taiwan is a bad place to study Mandarin, although since most students are interested in the mainland, which is pretty much restricted to simplified characters, which you'll only see in classrooms here. The editorial is a little disingenuous given the paper's strident support for DPP, whose policies include the promotion of non-Mandarin dialects. Even more problematic is Tongyong Pinyin, another extra hurdle. In the past the paper has printed articles critical of Tongyong Pinyin, but you don't see that here.
