: Taiwanese Occupy Legislature Over China Pact
: J. Michael Cole reports from Taipei for The Diplomat

: Thousands of Taiwanese were surrounding and occupying the Legislative Yuan
: (LY) in Taipei on March 19 after legislators from the ruling Chinese
: Nationalist Party (KMT) expedited the review process of a services trade pact
: with China that many fear could have damaging repercussions on Taiwan’s
: economy and sovereignty.

三月十九日，在執政的中國國民黨立法迅速完成對對中服貿協議的審議之後，數千名
台灣人包圍且佔領了立法院。許多人認為此案可能對台灣的經濟與主權有破壞性的影響。


: Controversy over the Cross-Strait Services Trade Agreement (CSSTA) began in
: June 2013 after negotiators from Taiwan’s semi-official Straits Exchange
: Foundation (SEF) signed the agreement, a follow-on to the Economic
: Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) signed in 2010, with their Chinese
: counterparts. The breadth and scope of the reciprocal agreement, which was
: negotiated behind closed doors and would open various sectors of the service
: industry to China, was such that many legislators from the KMT, whose
: leadership favors closer ties with China, balked, fearing the pact’s
: repercussions on their constituencies.

此兩岸服務貿易協議的爭論從2013年六月開始。半官方的海基會與中國對等單位
簽署了2010年ECFA之後續協議。此黑箱作業的雙邊協議將對中國開放諸多服務業部門，
其開放之深度與廣度讓即使是領導者親中的國民黨，其黨籍立委也害怕因此案失去選
民支持，而拒絕接受。


: After the KMT imposed internal measures making dissent grounds for expulsion,
: its reluctant legislators fell in line and began the process of passing the
: pact in the legislature.

在國民黨欲以內部手段開除異議者黨籍之後，不情願的立委歸位，開始通過法案的立法
程序。


: However, close scrutiny by opposition lawmakers, academics, and civic
: organizations, which held a series of peaceful protests, compelled the
: government to submit the CSSTA to the legislature for consideration. Further
: pressure from civil society, which feared negative consequences of the pact
: not only for Taiwan’s economy, but also for freedom of speech and other
: aspects of the nation’s democracy, eventually forced the government to
: compromise. A June 25, 2013 agreement stipulated that the pact would be
: reviewed clause-by-clause. Additionally, on September 25, parties agreed to
: hold a total of 16 public hearings — eight chaired by the KMT, and eight by
: the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) — for consultations with
: academics, NGOs, and many of the sectors that stood to be affected by the
: pact.


的公聽會。八場由國民黨舉辦，八場由民進黨主辦，以徵詢學者、NGO，以及受此協議
影響之產業的意見。


: The KMT held its eight hearings within the space of a week, with several
: members of social groups and NGOs complaining about lack of access. Moreover,
: several business representatives were not invited to attend, or were informed
: at the last minute, making their participation all but impossible.
: Following completion of the hearings and substantial input by academics and
: the business sector, KMT Legislator Chang Ching-chung, the presiding chair of
: the legislature’s Internal Administrative Committee, said the agreement
: could not be amended and had to be adopted as is, raising questions over the
: utility of the public hearings. The hearings and legislative battles over the
: CSSTA nevertheless made it impossible to pass it by the end of 2013, as the
: government had hoped.

國民黨在一個禮拜的時間就舉行八場公聽會。許多社會團體與NGO抱怨無法參加。而
許多商業代表也未被邀請出席，或者在最後一刻通知，令其無法出席。在完成公聽會程
序、大體聽取學者與產業界意見之後，內政委員會主席、國民黨立委張慶忠表明協議
無法修改，一定要採用原樣，引起對這些公聽會有何用處的質疑。然而公聽會與一連串
立法院攻防讓服貿協議不可能在政府所希望的2013年年底通過。


: Negotiations on the matter resumed in the legislature in March 2014, when DPP
: Legislator Chen Chi-mai secured the right to plan the agenda for a
: clause-by-clause review as agreed earlier. However, KMT legislators blocked
: the process, leading to clashes in the legislature over a period of three
: days. Meanwhile, civic organizations launched a sit-in outside the LY.
: Then, on March 17, with the legislature brought to a standstill and the DPP
: occupying the podium, Chang, citing Article 61 of the Legislative Yuan
: Functions Act, announced that the review process had gone beyond the 90 days
: allotted for review. The agreement should therefore be considered to have
: been reviewed and be submitted to a plenary session on March 21 for a final
: vote. Immediately, the Executive Yuan “congratulated” Chang for
: successfully reviewing the agreement, even though no review was ever held,
: and experts later noted that Article 61 did not apply, as the CSSTA is a
: component of the ECFA, which itself is a “prospective treaty” (准條約) and
: not an executive order. With 65 members in the 113-seat legislature, the KMT
: was assured a victory, with expectations that the pact could be implemented
: as early as June 2014.



然後在三月十七日，在立院陷入僵局而民進黨佔據主席台之際，張慶忠援引立法院職權
行使法第六十一條，宣布服貿協議已審查超過九十天，應該被視為已經審查通過，而
送入三月二十一日的院會作最終表決。行政院立刻「恭喜」張慶忠審查成功，即使審查


: The sudden announcement caught everybody by surprise and sparked anger among
: the public. The sit-ins continued on the evening of March 17, followed by a
: much larger one on the evening of March 18.

此突然之宣布讓眾人驚訝且引起公憤。靜坐在三月十七日晚上持續進行，到三月十八日
晚上人數更多。


: Late in the evening, protesters — a mix of students, academics, civic
: organizations and others — climbed over the fence at the legislature and
: managed to enter the building. In the melee, one window of the LY was smashed
: and a police officer suffered serious injuries. At this writing, there was no
: confirmation whether the officer was the victim of a deliberate attack or,
: more likely, was injured by accident (protest leaders have repeatedly urged
: protesters to not damage property and not attack law enforcement
: authorities). A lawyer who was assigned to the protesters told The Diplomat
: that so far, six individuals had been arrested over the protest. About 300
: members occupied the legislative floor overnight and succeeded in warding off
: several attempts by police to expel them. Several hundred others remained
: outside. The protesters demanded that the clause-by-clause review of the
: agreement be reinstated, otherwise they vowed to occupy the legislature until
: March 21, when the LY was scheduled to vote and pass the CSSTA. As late
: evening turned into night, the authorities cut water and electricity to the
: building. Premier Jiang Yi-huah, in a move that was largely seen as
: overreaction, ordered that riot police be sent in to evict the protesters,
: but that directive was not implemented.

十八號晚間，由學生、學術界、民間團體與其他人組成的抗議人士爬過立院圍牆，



: By the morning of March 19, the protesters’ numbers had swelled to several
: thousand, who encircled the legislature and blocked every point of access,
: under the watchful eye of hundreds of police officers. At every corner of the
: building, groups chanted slogans, waved banners, and listened to speeches by
: legislators, academics, and student leaders, as supporters brought them
: water, food, and ventilators. At one point, one of the organizers announced
: that if their demands were not met by March 21, they would threaten to occupy
: the Presidential Office next. Inside, the core group had by then set up an ad
: hoc medical clinic and a communications center to coordinate their
: activities. Meanwhile, the activists — who accounted for about 90 percent of
: the entire group — used social media to broadcast the event live while using
: Facebook (Taiwan has the highest Facebook penetration rate in the world) to
: share pictures and video. More people showed up later on March 19, bringing
: the protest to upwards of 12,000 people.

到了十九號早上，抗議者人數遽增到數千人，他們在數百名警察的警視下包圍立院且阻
擋入口。在立院內外的各角落，群眾搖旗呼口號，聽立法委員、學者與學生領袖的演說。
支持者則送進水、食物與抽風機。組織者一度宣稱若他們的要求在二十一日無法達成，
他們下一個目標是佔領總統府。而在立法院裡面，團體核心設立了醫療小組與通訊中心，
以協調行動。同時，佔整體約百分之九十的行動者，他們運用社交媒體即時轉播活動狀
況，並用臉書（台灣使用臉書的比率全球最高）分享照片與影音。三月十九日更多人參
與，讓抗議群眾上升至一萬兩千人。

: While this was not the first time in recent years that activists occupied a
: government building — the Ministry of the Interior was similarly occupied in
: August 2013 in protest over a series of controversial demolitions and land
: seizures — the events at the LY are unprecedented. The protests are the
: result of several months of mounting anger at a government that is perceived
: to have become less accountable in recent years, perhaps as a result of
: mounting pressure from China. Beijing hopes to see such deals adopted as soon
: as possible so that the governments can move on to greater things, such as
: talks on a “peace agreement.”



壓力所致。北京政府希望這些協議可以儘快通過，然後雙方可以進行更大的事，如「
和平協議」的會談。

: Unsurprisingly, media close to the administration quickly pointed out the “
: undemocratic” nature of the protests (in fact, protesting is a democratic
: right) and engaged in fabrication to discredit the protesters, such as
: claiming that the groups had “vandalized the legislature” (which they have
: not) and that they were mobilized by DPP politicians (the civic organizations
: have kept the DPP and other parties at arms’ length). Lack of transparency
: in cross-strait deals, undue pressure by business groups on both sides of the
: Strait, governance with authoritarian tendencies, and the opposition DPP’s
: ham-fisted response to the many social challenges that confront the nation
: have resulted in a public that is increasingly disillusioned with its
: government and political parties. And this time, they deemed that things had
: gone too far and took matters into their own hands.




事件沒有扮演好反對黨角色吧？），都讓公眾對他們的政府與政黨持續幻滅。而在此刻，

他們認為事態已經走得太過火，他們要以自己的手重新掌握自己的事。

: At this writing (March 20, 12:30am), several thousand people were still at
: the legislature, and it was unclear whether police would once again attempt
: to dislodge them. Late on the evening of March 19, members of gangster Chang
: An-le’s pro-unification party showed up at the protest and tried to start a
: fight with some participants, who failed to retaliate. Soon afterwards,
: pictures appeared on Facebook of suspected gangsters bearing knives, a
: chilling reminder of recent attacks in Hong Kong.
