Tens of thousands of Taiwanese have marched in the streets of Taiwan's capital to protest the president's efforts to improve relations with China.
Protesters said they were worried that President Ma Ying-jeou is leaning toward China too quickly and that it might bring disastrous political consequences. Saturday's protest is the first mass rally against Ma since his inauguration about 3 months ago. Taiwan's sovereignty has been long disputed between Taipei and Beijing. The two sides split amid civil war in 1949, but China continues to claim Taiwan as part of its territory.
