Close to 60 people were arrested and more than 100 hurt, reports said.

since early last week.

The BBC's Cindy Sui in Taipei says the students wants more scrutiny over all
future dealings with China, including any trade agreements.

BBC駐台記者表示，學生們希望未來台灣與中國間的任何協議皆需要更全面的審核，
當然也包括任何的貿易協定。

They also want the current deal - which would allow the two sides to invest
more freely in each other's services markets - to be scrapped.

學生們同時希望能廢棄目前的服貿協議。

The governing Kuomintang party says it is determined to ratify the deal with
Beijing, which it says will boost the economy and create jobs.


governing itself for six decades.

儘管台灣已自主統治了約60餘年，中國仍認為台灣是其領土的一部份。

The protests began early last week after ruling party MPs said a joint
committee had completed its review of the pact, which was signed in June 2013
but has not yet been ratified by MPs.

在上週執政黨表示於去年六月起已簽屬服貿，並完成相關審議，

police efforts to evict them, using barricades made of furniture.

opposition Democratic Progressive Party has also backed them.

broke the law, adding: "I must say that [the pact] is completely for the sake
of Taiwan's economic future."

馬英九於本周日表示學生佔領立法院是違法的，
並且認為簽訂服貿是為了提升台灣經濟競爭力著想。

Late on Sunday, some protesters pushed past riot police to storm the
government headquarters, pulling down barbed wire and using ladders to access
second-floor offices.

週日晚間，部分抗議民眾與警方發生推擠，並將拒馬推倒、利用鐵梯進入行政院二樓。

the two have improved.

The two sides split at the end of the Chinese civil war in 1949.

在1949年的國共內戰後，兩岸因而分裂。

Earlier this year, however, they held their first direct
government-to-government talks. In the past, all talks have gone via
quasi-official organisations.

They have also signed several trade and investment agreements in recent years
- but some fear greater economic integration with China could threaten Taiwan.

近年來兩岸也簽署了許多貿易與投資協議，
但也引起部分民眾擔憂向中國過度靠攏會傷害台灣經濟自主性。
