China-Taiwan trade pact sparks street protest in Taipei
Thousands of demonstrators are on the streets of Taipei, venting their anger at a trade deal with China, to be signed on Tuesday.
The agreement will cut tariffs on exports and loosen curbs on investment.
Supporters say it will boost Taiwan's economy but critics fear it could pave the way for a Chinese takeover of the island.
Taiwan and China split after the civil war in 1949 but Beijing still regards the island as a renegade province.
