Scores of young protesters, led by 39 year-old city councilor Wang Dingyu, surrounded the 62 year-old professor Zhang Mingqing from Xiamen University, also the vice-president of China’s Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait, and pushed him to the ground when he was visiting the Tainan Confucius Temple–a place where people remember Confucius whose teachings value the respect of the senior.
The government of Taiwan openly criticized the city councilor and the protesters, and promised to provide more police force for Professor Zhang’s security in the coming days.
