Anger Grows in Taiwan Against Deal With China

新聞標題: 對於與中國的貿易協議怒火在台灣延燒


TAIPEI, Taiwan — Demonstrators who have occupied Taiwan’s legislature since
last week expanded their protest of a trade deal with China on Sunday evening
by invading the government building nearby that houses the offices of the
prime minister.

上周起因反抗與中國之間貿易協議而佔領立法院的民眾，
在本周日晚間佔領附近的行政院大樓。

The protesters, including many students from local universities, have accused
President Ma Ying-jeou and his allies in the governing Kuomintang of forcing
through the trade measure without allowing a review of its details, which
they fear will give Beijing too much influence over the island’s economy.

主要由台灣本地大學生組成的抗議民眾，控訴馬英九與他的KMT夥伴們，


“I’m very angry at President Ma,” said Shiu Rung-kai, 21, a student at

National Hsinchu University of Education who joined thousands of protesters
inside the government compound.

來自新竹教育大學的21歲學生表達對馬英九相當不爽。

By early Monday morning the police had cleared demonstrators from the
government building, detaining dozens, according to local news media reports,
although hundreds of protesters remained in the courtyard outside.

警察於本周一清晨起開始驅離行政院內的抗議民眾，
但是還是有許多民眾待在行政院外圍不肯離去。

Prime Minister Jiang Yi-huah said the intrusion was an “illegal and violent
act,” Taiwan’s Central News Agency reported, citing a cabinet spokesman.

中央社引述行政院發言人報導中指出，行政院長江宜樺表示此次行動是非法且暴力的。

Police officers were seen swinging wooden clubs to clear protesters from the
road behind the building. At least 70 were injured, the news agency reported.

媒體報導警察揮舞木棍來驅趕抗議民眾，至少造成70人受傷。

Earlier Sunday, the student leaders occupying the legislature called for a
bipartisan “citizens constitutional conference” and for sending the trade
pact to committee for further review.

佔領立法院的學生領袖於星期天早上要求朝野進行協商，
並且將服貿協議重新送至委員會審查。

The pact, which was signed by semiofficial organizations from Taiwan and
China in June 2013, opens up a wide range of service industry fields to
cross-strait investment. It has raised concerns that local businesses will
suffer, and that Taiwan will fall further under the influence of China, which
considers the self-governed island part of its territory.

服貿協議於2013年6月由台灣與中國的半官方機構簽屬，
內容包含海峽兩岸許多服務業開放投資之協議，
因此在社會上造成對中國會進一步擴張對台灣經濟影響力的擔憂。

In a news conference Sunday morning, Mr. Ma said that legislative approval of
the pact was important for Taiwan’s economic competitiveness, and that
rejecting the deal would threaten Taiwan’s ability to sign trade accords
with other countries. Taiwan faces higher average duties on its exports than
regional competitors like South Korea, Japan and Singapore, the president
said.

馬英九在本周日上午的記者會中表示，服貿對提升台灣經濟競爭力是相當重要的，
此外若拒絕服貿，將會威脅台灣與其他國家簽訂貿易協定的可能性，
而在面對其他區域競爭者如韓國、日本與新加坡時，台灣出口需要負擔較高的關稅。

Regional economic integration is “an unstoppable global trend,” he said. “
If we do not face this and join in the process, it will only be a matter of
time before we are eliminated from the competition.”

馬英九表示區域經濟整合已成為無可避免的全球趨勢，如果我們不面對此一趨勢，
台灣遲早會在競爭中遭到邊緣化。

While Taipei is used to seeing large protests, an extended occupation of the
legislative chambers is unprecedented.

雖然過往在台北有許多大型的抗議活動，但佔領立法院是史無前例的。

“He hasn’t really responded to our questions,” Hao Chang-cheng, a
21-year-old junior at the National Taipei University of Technology, said
after Mr. Ma’s news conference. The students seem likely to continue their
occupation of the legislature.

在總統記者會後，一位來自北科大的21歲學生說馬英九根本沒有真正回應學生的訴求，
因此學生們似乎將會繼續佔領立法院。

“I feel like we must keep continuing on,” Mr. Hao said.

這位北科大學生說"我認為我們必須持續下去"
