Taiwan president warns over stalled China trade deals
Taipei
PRESIDENT Ma Ying-jeou warned on Tuesday of damage to Taiwan's economy if the legislature does not pass controversial trade deals with China, which have stalled in the wake of mass protests. His comments come as tensions remain high over increased Chinese influence on the island.
"I would like to voice my concern over related agreements with China still under deliberation in the legislature," said Mr Ma, speaking at the opening ceremony of Computex - Asia's largest tech fair - in Taipei.
