Press Release
Say No to ECFA

On the eve of China’s special envoy Chen Yunlin’s visit to Taiwan, the main opposition party DPP, together with many local NGOs will be organizing a huge street demonstration and rally in Taichung. We are expecting at least one hundred thousand people to join us in the afternoon of December 20th. The theme of this demonstration is to express our opposition to the government’s decision to negotiate and sign ECFA (Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement) with China. We are concerned that ECFA will hurt Taiwan economically and will pave the way for political annexation of Taiwan by China. In addition, by holding the demonstration, we demand that the ECFA decision to be subject to public scrutiny and to be decided by the people through referendum.

To inform the foreign press of the purposes, objectives, and activities of this rally, the Taiwan Rescue Action Alliance, on behalf of the many NGOs participating in the coming rally, will hold a press conference at 10:00 AM, 18th December at Taiwan Rescue Action Alliance office, and all speakers will answer questions from the media.
