Protesters from the opposition Democratic Progressive Party shout slogans against the upcoming Taiwan and China cross strait talks in Taichung December 20, 2009. Taiwan and China, political rivals for six decades, will discuss a free trade pact at formal talks next week amid protests planned by the island’s opposition parties wary of deeper engagement with Beijing. Negotiator P.K. Chiang of export-reliant Taiwan and Chen Yunlin of economic powerhouse China will meet in central Taiwan’s Taichung on Tuesday for a fourth round of talks on the proposed Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA), since ties began warming last year. The Chinese characters read, “oppose unification.” REUTERS/Pichi Chuang (TAIWAN – Tags: POLITICS CIVIL UNREST)
