Taiwanese hold massive protest against China

About a million Taiwanese marched through the capital Taipei today, some carrying signs reading “Shame on China”, to express their anger over a new Chinese law that authorises an attack on the island if it moves toward formal independence.

“China is a violent country. We want nothing to do with it,” said protester Wu Chao-hsiung, a carpenter from Taipei. “We have to insist on the freedom to determine our own fate.”
