    *TOO FAST?* Control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 5% at a time on desktop computers and laptops OR 25% at a time on smartphone!
    Access the playback speed controls as follows:
    *Desktop Computers and Laptops:* open the video, then go to the lower right of the video's screen and click on the settings icon (it looks like a GEAR). On the upper right of the options window that comes up, you will see the link "custom". Click on the "custom" link to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 5% at a time.
    *Smartphones:* open the video and go to the upper right of the video's screen. You will see 3 dots. Click on them and you will see the link to open the "playback speed" controls. Click on this link and you will be able to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 25% at a time. Note that viewing the video on desktop computer/laptops gives you greater control over the playback speed (5% vs 25% on smartphones).

    As a Chinese American who is now studying Thai in Chiang Mai this was a very interesting interview! I can really sense the difference between Chinese and Thai cultures from his answers which agree with my impressions here.

    Although Mandarin is spoken widely in Taipei, once you get outside Taipei, the use of Taiwanese increases a lot. From when students got hit for speaking Taiwanese at school, to now teaching Taiwanese in school, Taiwan has made good progress. Taiwan's national identity gets stronger day by day. Language is one of the ways way of accenting the difference with China (plus the cultures of the two countries are now quite different too).

    That Taiwan business man forgot to mention that Thia people doesn’t have yearly holiday except than small amount of public holidays. They work hard for 10 dollars per day. I wish he will experience life of ordinary Thai people for 350 baht / day with 1 day off per/ week and no yearly holiday of 1 months

    "Can't pronounce NG"? Are you sure about that? Bo po mo has a couple symbols for that specific sound. "Can't" is a very strong word. Maybe "tendency to replace NG with N" might have been more humanizing.

      Eileen used this wording with no malintent whatsoever, and of course, she was not trying to "dehumanize" anybody. Even those concerned wouldn't feel "dehumanized". Because it's common sense how she meant it. That's just how they say it in China and no-one gets offended - because it is simply not offensive for them. Not a bit. They would even look at you like "what the heck you're talking about". It wouldn't even cross their minds to feel offended.
      Do you realize that it's only the West that is woke? For other, older cultures that withstood millenia, this is just another western craze.
      Again, please try to understand that this kind of thinking that is constantly searching offense and victimhood in everything is simply non-existent in the rest of the world.

    Taiwan may produce all the important computer chips, but it’s still a developing country, much like China. There’s no reason for Taiwanese to feel superior to Thai. Any country that has zero control over their pollution and creates extreme environmental destruction is a developing country, and it’s yet to be seen if they learn to live responsible and in harmony with nature.. or if they will destroy everything like Sauron and Orks.

      You obviously have not seen the progress the country of Taiwan has made over the last 40 years. I lived there when it was really bad. The growth of the environmental movement and improvements they have made have been commendable. No perfect, but on a good track.
