ZHANG: Moving onto Taiwan, where pro-independence protesters sit in front of Taiwan's legislature to protest a visiting Chinese Communist Party official. He's in Taiwan to discuss details of improved cross-strait economic ties.STORY: Taiwan's main opposition party, concerned that Taiwan is getting too close to China, kicked off a three-day protest sit-in today. That's after more than 3,000 people sat in front of Taiwan's legislature on Monday evening protesting the arrival of China's top negotiator for cross-strait relations. The opposition, in power from 2000 to 2008, advocated independence from China and did not negotiate with Beijing.[Mrs. Liao, Protester]:"I think they should set rules to clearly define that Taiwan is Taiwan, and China is China, totally unrelated. We don't want to be ruled by them, if that happens people will stand up against them regardless of gender and profession."With heightened security in the city during the Chinese official's visit, protesters express concern their freedoms would be curtailed in favor of improved Taiwan-China relations.[Shiao-shun, Protester]:"Only one official comes to visit, our freedom is already so much restricted, we cannot imagine what will happen next. Now they open up for Chinese credentials and Chinese investment while the two countries are still hostile, more than a thousand missiles are still aimed at us, how can we trust the government?" Chen Yunlin, the top Chinese negotiator who began China's first high-level visit to political rival Taiwan in 60 years will pursue agreements on direct flights, food safety and the economy despite protests against warming ties. Chen is the highest-level Chinese official to set foot on the island since the end of the Chinese civil war in 1949.Working groups from China and Taiwan tentatively agreed on Monday to sign agreements that would allow 108 direct flights per week between the two countries.Also on the table for Tuesday are new postal links and a process for quick notification and investigation of any contaminated food following Taiwan's concern over tainted dairy products from China.
