“Taiwan’s police evicted dozens of protesters from the cabinet building early Monday morning, as tensions continued to spiral between the government and students occupying two major government buildings over a controversial trade pact with China. Dubbed the ‘Sunflower Movement,’ the students’ seizure of the legislative chamber followed the KMT’s unilateral passage of the pact during a first reading without bipartisan deliberation on March 17. The protest, once numbering more than 10,000 people, is the biggest student-led protest in Taiwan’s history. It is also the first time that the legislature has been taken over by protesters.”
