Thousands join anti-China rally in Taiwan capital

(20 Oct 2018) Thousands of demonstrators joined a gathering in Taipei City to express their disapproval of China's ruling over Taiwan on Saturday. The rally was convened by the Formosa Alliance, a pro-Taiwan civilian organisation. The Alliance has urged the ruling Democratic Progressive Party to amend the Referendum Act, so that Taiwanese people could decide whether to change the country's name from Republic of China to Taiwan. In an Oct. 10 National Day address, Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen pledged to boost the island's defenses against Beijing's military threats. China cut off contact with Tsai's government shortly after her inauguration in 2016 and has been ratcheting up diplomatic, economic and military pressure on Taiwan in a bid to compel her to agree to Beijing's insistence that the self-governing island democracy is a part of China.
