protest with fire

Taipei Times - archives: "Pro-independence groups in southern Taiwan yesterday announced a plan to stage a demonstration in Taichung in December to express their opposition to the proposed signing of an economic cooperation framework agreement (ECFA) with China.

The organizations, led by the Southern Taiwan Society and Neo Formosa Weekly, said such an agreement had to be blocked because it would have a serious impact on the nation’s industrial sector and exacerbate unemployment.

The demonstration will be held to coincide with the fourth round of talks between Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) Chairman Chiang Pin-kung (江丙坤) and China’s Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait (ARATS) President Chen Yunlin (陳雲林), scheduled to be held during the second week of December in Taichung."
