Fourth Chen–Chiang summit

The Fourth Chen-Chiang summit (Chinese: 第四次陳江會談) was part of a series of the Chen-Chiang summit of cross-strait meetings held at Taichung, Taiwan. It was a meeting between the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS) and Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF).

Pre-meeting protest

Tens of thousands of opposition demonstrators marched through Taichung on December 20, 2009. Police put Sunday's crowd in Taichung at 20,000-30,000. Some 500 officers were on hand to control the protesters.[1]

Meeting

Representing mainland China's ARATs, Chen Yun-lin arrives in Taichung, Taiwan on December 21, 2009 for a 4-day trip to Christmas day December 25.[2] Both sides signed three agreements on agricultural, inspection and cooperations on quarantine, testing and certifications. The double taxation was not signed.[3]

Supporters of Taiwan Independence expressed their opposition against China’s denial of Taiwanese sovereignty, military threats and Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement.[2]

Injuries

One police officer was injured and six people were arrested after the officer fell from a truck as he tried to stop protesters from shooting fireworks at the hotel where Chen Yun-lin was staying. The police was pushed by members of the 908 Taiwan Republic Campaign.[4]
