Woh, what a experience at the first mass rally I attended in Taiwan. The main reason for this protest is against the friendliness towards China. China sent its foreign minister Chen Yun Lin over to Taiwan to establish good relations. However, the hatred n dislike of the Taiwanese ppl towards China is clear. One of the reasons is the recent milk powder incident, which has harmed many innocent children. I believe there are alot other reasons which stem back from history and past incidents.
My opinion towards such a protest is neutral at first. However, as I hear about what the Taiwanese ppl have to say and explain about their dislike. I start to sway towards having the same opinion as them. However, I will not take an extreme view of things but will also hear what the Chinese have to say bout the issues and its rship with Taiwan.
Anyway its really interesting seeing all the speeches in dialect, the crowds, the Taiwanese ppl all dressed up for the protest as well as the atmosphere of the protest. Eye opener. :)
