Taiwanese youth has long been regarded as political indifferent; they are mostly busy with school's work and other social events. In fact, the majority of the youth voted for Ma in the presidential election.
If they think they can do well with political indifference, they have to think again. With the policy change to move closer to China, it implies they would have tougher time to get into the job market. Their parents are living on the edge and are afraid of being laid off from the work force. With the proposed treaty with PRC, Taiwanese agriculture could collapse in few years. The youth will take the direct impacts for these changes.
Fortunately, some students had already waken up; a so-called 'wild-berry-movement' started 17 days ago is still continuing-on with 'student-sit-in' to protest police brutality against the people during Chen Yun-Lin's visit.
