What is 'Keep Taiwan free!'?
'Keep Taiwan free!' is a slogan used by those who advocate for Taiwan's continued autonomy and democratic governance, separate from mainland China. This reflects the complex geopolitical situation where China views Taiwan as a breakaway province, while many Taiwanese and international supporters believe it should remain independent. The protest aimed to bring this issue to the forefront.
