Throughout March protests gripped the streets of Taipei, the capital, because of the way a service trade agreement was being pushed through congress. The trade agreement would allow Chinese companies to invest in a host of Taiwanese industries, moving the country towards greater economic integration with China. Many view the agreement as an act of commercial colonization by China and a threat to Taiwan's autonomy and democracy. On March 18 a group of students overwhelmed police and occupied the Legislative Yuan (Taiwanese Parliament). Dubbed the Sunflower Movement, they remained camped there for 24 days. One of their core demands is to hold off any further trade talks between Taiwan and China until an oversight mechanism has been implemented. -- Vice是一个结合杂志、音乐、网站等多角度的媒体，主要关注世界各地艺术、文化及政治 是个西方年轻人都满熟悉的媒体，他们的youtube频道也有高达400万的订阅人数。 分享给你身边的人，让更多世界上的青年看到台湾正在发生的事! --
