Sunflower Student Movement

The Sunflower Student Movement was a protest in Taiwan in 2014 where students and civic groups opposed a trade agreement with China. They believed the government had not fully disclosed details and rushed the process, risking national sovereignty. Demonstrators occupied the legislature, demanding transparency and changes to the pact. The movement highlighted concerns over economic dependence on China and the importance of democratic decision-making. It gained widespread attention, influencing Taiwan's political dialogue on sovereignty, governance, and cross-strait relations.
