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是一個結合雜誌、音樂、網站等多角度的媒體，主要關注世界各地藝術、文化及政治 是個西方年輕人都滿熟悉的媒體，他們的youtube頻道也有高達400萬的訂閱人數。 分享給你身邊的人，讓更多世界上的青年看到台灣正在發生的事! --
