Sportif Demo To Taiwan and Tiongkok

30,000 rally in Taichung City, Taiwan's third largest city, yesterday (20/12).

A wave of protest was held to welcome the arrival of China negotiator to Taiwan affairs Chen Yunlin. Chairman of the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS) is scheduled to arrive today (21/12).

The plan, the senior diplomat living in Taichung for five days, discussing the China-Taiwan relations.
