Protesters stormed Taiwan’s cabinet building as President Ma Ying-jeou failed to soothe public anger over his administration’s handling of a China trade agreement.
Hundreds of police carrying riot shields and batons struggled to hold back demonstrators, many of them students, after barbed-wire barricades were breached and some climbed into offices through windows, cable networks showed. Premier Jiang Yi-huah called on the National Police Agency to evict the protesters, according to a cabinet statement on its website.
