[外媒] 台灣學生在行政院爆發衝突
Clashes as Taiwan students storm government HQ
Taiwanese police have clashed with hundreds of students
who occupied government headquarters to protest at a trade deal with China.
台灣數百名學生佔領行政院以抗議與中國的貿易協定，與警方發生衝突。
Police used water cannon and dragged out students one by one,
clearing the building by dawn on Monday.
警方使用水槍並且將學生一個個托出來，星期一凌晨完成淨空。
Close to 60 people were arrested and more than 100 hurt, reports said.
報導指出近60人遭到逮捕，超過一百人受傷。
The protesters say the agreement with China would hurt Taiwan's economy
and leave it vulnerable to pressure from Beijing.
抗議者指出與中國的協議將會傷害台灣的經濟而且容易受到北京的壓力。
Another group of students and activists have occupied Taiwan's
parliament 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.

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.

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

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.
上週執政黨的立委宣佈聯合委員已經完成該項協定的審查之後開始了抗議活動，

Students broke into the legislature late on Tuesday and have since defied
police efforts to evict them, using barricades made of furniture.

On Friday thousands of people rallied to support the students, and the the
opposition Democratic Progressive Party has also backed them.

On Sunday, President Ma Ying-jeou said that the occupation of parliament
broke the law, adding: "I must say that [the pact] is completely for
the sake of Taiwan's economic future."
上週日總統馬英九表示佔領議會已經觸犯法律，
並補充：我必須說[這項協議]完全是為了台灣經濟的未來。
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.

China is Taiwan's biggest trading partner and in recent years ties between
the two have improved.

Earlier this year, however, they held their first direct
government-to-government talks. In the past, all talks
have gone via quasi-official organisations.
然而今年初舉辦了第一次政府對政府的直接對話。
在過去雙方所有的談判都是透過半官方組織。
They have also signed several trade and investment agreements
in recent years - but some fear greater economic integration
with China could threaten Taiwan.
近幾年雙方還簽訂了多項貿易和投資協議，
但是有一些人擔憂與中國的經濟整合可能會威脅台灣。
