Protestors demand transparent review of China trade agreement after Taiwan’s ruling party strong-armed it through the legislature.
On Tuesday, some 300 student protestors stormed Taiwan's parliament in Taipei, tearing down its "Legislative Yuan" sign and barricading themselves in.
Huge protests are common on the East Asian island, but takeovers of parliament has been unprecedented.
Groups of students have also been blocked by riot police on Jinan Road, near National Taiwan University.
The student group mobilized on Facebook against the ruling KMT party's "illegal hastening" of a trade agreement with China.
The trade agreement would allow China to invest in 64 industries in Taiwan, including advertising, cinema, retail, printing, and telecommunication.
Opponents say it allows China to influence Taiwan's democracy and inordinately benefits big corporations, while the ruling party argues it would boost Taiwan's lagging economy and is much more favorable to Taiwan than vice-versa.
