Taiwan protests, too

It was pretty cool when Hong Kong staged a protest against Beijing-sponsored security legislation last year, and half a million people showed up.

It was even cooler when a few weeks ago in Taiwan, on the anniversary of the 2-28 massacre, supporters of President Chen (including my dad and my grandparents!) organized a human chain of over 1.2 million people, spanning the 500 km long island from north to south.

Events like these show the world that Asia can do democracy, in a big way. I hope the people of China are watching.
