一人一信寄給所有你認識的教授！ Dear Professors, A democracy crisis is happening in Taiwan, my home country. Taiwanese students and citizens are now occupying legislative Yuan (Congress) and Executive Yuan to protect the value of democracy. The administration party, the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT), is trying to pass the Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement between Taiwan and China through an injustice way that overlooks public interests and national security. (Video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTiGuR8SInA) I am worried that a violent revolution will break out in the near future. No one wants this happen. What other ways can I do to ask for assistance from other countries or world-wide organizations? The protesters are requesting the government withdraw the agreement and re-discuss it after the legislatures could pass the Monitoring Mechanism for Cross-Strait Agreements in the Current Legislative Session. However, six days have passed but the President of Taiwan and his administration have not directly answered this request. Instead, they continually insist that this agreement is beneficial to all citizens (which is doubtful) and must be passed. (The detail of proclaims. English version is at the bottom:https://www.facebook.com/lslandnationyouth/posts/242992019217385) The protesters have already successfully submitted PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION (https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/oppose-trade-agreement-between-taiwan-and-china/C80BsZ11) United States Senator SHERROD BROWN of Ohio and Congressman ED ROYCE of California have showed their support for the protest and also point out some moves that Taiwan could do to be less dependent to just one country.
