Great account from Michael Richardson, along with digital slideshow and video.
(BTW, does anyone know what the pro-independence protesters are chanting in the video?)
UPDATE: Since Mr. Richardson seems to have a pretty good handle on Taiwan issues, and writes regularly on the topic, I've added him to the blogroll.
UPDATE #2: Richardson on Stephen Bosworth, America's special envoy to North Korea. Worth reading.
Bosworth spells trouble for Taiwan as Obama seeks Red China's help with North
Korea A-bomb
and:
Special Envoy Stephen Bosworth says Taiwan independence is not 'acceptable' and
hurts U.S. interests
They are chanting, “Ma Ying Jeou, xia tai!” (馬英九,下臺!) or in English “Ma Ying Jeou, step down!”
