Protesters Occupy Taiwan Parliament

  • 0:14 - 0:25
    (Cheer sounds)
    Inside the Legislative Yuan the flags are hung upside down
  • 0:25 - 0:43
    Send back Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement
    Crisis in Taiwan
  • 0:43 - 0:55
    (Cheer sounds)
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    That is why you bring your guitar here
  • 1:02 - 2:01
    Musician Chen Ming Jhang sings to protesters
  • 2:02 - 2:06
    What is globalization? What is free trade?
    What is Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement?
  • 2:07 - 2:18
    Which asks two markets to combine together
    even asks global markets combine together to form one big market
  • 2:18 - 2:22
    So that those markets will be swallowed by big markets
  • 2:23 - 2:32
    If we really sign this agreement with China
    markets in Taiwan will be impeded by China
  • 2:32 - 2:37
    We have to make movies that China wishes to make
    We can't shoot the movies like KANO, a movie about Taiwanese movie anymore
  • 2:37 - 2:39
    We can't have our own stories anymore
  • 2:39 - 2:49
    People in here are only under thirty years old
    So we can't sign this agreement absolutely
  • 2:50 - 2:56
    Now let's sing a song together
    It's our song, Formosa
  • 2:56 - 3:28
    (Sing Formosa song together)
  • 3:28 - 4:00
    19/03/14 3:00AM
    (sing Formosa song together)
    Protesters block up the entrance of Legislative Yuan
  • 4:04 - 4:18
    Classmates, it is never enough.
    before I tell you start again
    please sit in front of the inside of Legislative Yuan
    We have to send our demands into Legislative Yuan
  • 4:21 - 4:34
    (Singer Desrerts Xuan sends message to the people on the spot)
    Please tell everyone those citizens which are in front of Legislative Yuan till now really obey the principle that
    ; The police didn路t move so that citizens didn路t move: continuously
  • 4:36 - 4:46
    Every fortification that is reported by most of media
    is not caused by the citizens only
  • 4:48 - 4:54
    This means our messages are spread clearly
  • 4:56 - 5:04
    We have to use more ways to let the public voice heard
    Let the police stop their fortification when citizens are delivering their demands
  • 5:06 - 5:12
    Not when there are chaos then the police starts their fortification
    So that the safety of police and citizens will be protected
  • 5:20 - 5:29
    Three demands from protesters: President Ma should apologize, Premier should resign at once, President of Legislative should withdraw the police in Legislative Yuan
  • 5:30 - 5:34
    It is really not a radical claims
  • 5:35 - 5:39
    But this is why we can hang in here
  • 5:40 - 5:46
    There are 70% residents in Taiwan opposing Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement on previous opinion poll
  • 5:47 - 5:56
    Now I believe that there are more than 70% residents now opposing Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement if we hang in there in a gentle attitude like Desrerts Xuan mentioned in the message
  • 5:56 - 5:59
    Okay! We continue to hang in here
  • 6:00 - 6:04
    Now Let's deliver our three important claims together again
  • 6:05 - 6:25
    The reason why we show much strict attitude to Premier Jiang is because
    he says to the congress and the residents in Taiwan that
    you can censor Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement, but you can't modify them
  • 6:26 - 6:34
    How irrespective he is and how rough he is
    It is really a rough behavior
  • 6:34 - 6:37
    Let路s deliver out claims clearly
  • 6:41 - 6:45
    Ma Ying Jiou! Apologize!
  • 6:45 - 6:48
    President Ma! Apologize!
    It is ok if you say resign but shout loudly
  • 6:50 - 6:54
    President Ma! Apologize!
  • 6:54 - 6:57
    Chiang Yi Hua! Resign!
    Premier Chiang! Resign!
  • 6:58 - 7:01
    I am so polite right? I call their name first and then call their titles
  • 7:01 - 7:03
    Wang Chin Ping! Withdraw the police!
  • 7:06 - 7:08
    If he does't withdraw the police he should resign
  • 7:08 - 7:10
    We should ask for withdrawal of the police first. We are very polite
  • 7:11 - 7:18
    President of Legislative Wang! Withdraw the police!
  • 7:18 - 7:24
    If you don路t withdraw the police! you should resign!
