Several hundred opponents of a far-reaching trade pact with China occupied Taiwan's legislature late on Tuesday, further delaying action on a measure that Beijing strongly favors. The protesters burst into the legislative chamber, knocking down a large metal gate in the process, and used chairs to block police from entering the building.

【Parliament Occupation in Taiwan】
I am among several hundreds of students and protesters who occupied the Taiwanese parliament building tonight. We are here to protest against the legislative ambush by the ruling nationalist party yesterday, which passed the Service trade agreement with China in a joint committee meeting.
This agreement is expected to cast huge impacts on the life of ordinary people, including considerable job losses or worsen working condition in several industries. It was also feared that the agreement would pave ways by which China could increase its dominance in Taiwanese economy and even politics.
The process of making this agreement has been criticized for the lack of transparency and participation by those affected, and caused great concern in Taiwan. In the last round of cross-party negotiation, it was agreed that the agreement should be debated and voted item by item in the parliament.
However, yesterday the nationalist party broke this promise, passing the agreement with some unimaginable legislative tactic. The violation of democratic value cause outrage of many, so here we are. I can see police deployed around the building now. We need more support to stay on. Please distribute this video to whoever is committed to the principle of democracy, transparency and participation. Help us to stop the undemocratic coalition of some political elite in both Taiwan and China.

Hundreds of students have occupied Taiwan’s Legislature to protest against an impending trade agreement with China, fearing the pact would give the mainland too much political influence and economic clout over the democratic, self-governed island.
The protesters burst into the legislative chamber late Tuesday and quickly occupied it despite police efforts to drive them out, news reports said.
The students said they were demanding that the island’s President Ma Ying-jeou apologize to the Taiwanese people over the trade pact, and that the ruling Kuomintang (KMT) party scrap a review that is part of the process of implementing the deal.
The KMT said this week that its initial review of the pact had been completed, despite opposition party concern about the mainland's growing influence over the Taiwanese economy.
China and Taiwan have been ruled separately since Nationalist forces, defeated by the Communists on the mainland, fled to the island at the end of the Chinese civil war in 1949. China considers Taiwan a renegade province and has never ruled out the use of force to bring it under Beijing’s control.
But the two sides have built up extensive economic ties in recent years, and in February they held their first direct government-to-government talks — a big step toward expanding dialogue beyond trade.
Taiwan's opposition Democratic Progressive Party, which has vowed to protect the island's economy from excessive Chinese influence, has said it would vote against the trade pact, although it lacks numbers to block the deal’s passage.
A political analyst said the students’ protest would not derail the deal.
"I don't think this is going to threaten the overall passage of the pact, though it may delay it a bit," said Lu Ya-li, a professor of political science at Chinese Culture University in the island’s capital, Taipei. "But this pact is too important for Taiwan's economy — it will pass regardless."
Lu said the students are worried that the pact would lead to an influx of mainland students into Taiwanese universities, threatening local students’ opportunities for scholarships and jobs.
The protesters were predominantly guided by political ideology and did not represent the majority of Taiwanese students, Lu said.
Mainland China is the island's biggest trading partner, and the two sides have signed a number of agreements on everything from transport to tourism since Ma took office in 2008.
Under the latest trade pact, China will open 80 of its service sectors to Taiwanese companies, and Taiwan will allow mainland investment in 64 sectors.
