Tensions over Taipei's thawing relationship with the mainland led to an attack on a Chinese official today, with anti-Beijing protesters shoving him to the ground as he toured a temple.
Television footage showed angry protesters surrounding Zhang Mingqing, vice-chairman of the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait, chanting "Taiwan does not belong to China", before pushing him over.
He had to be helped to his car as other activists tried to throw punches at him. One stamped on his vehicle, shouting: "Get out".
Taiwan has enjoyed de facto independence since Chiang Kai-shek's defeated Nationalists fled there at the end of the civil war in 1949. China still regards the island as its territory and has warned it will use force to repel moves towards formal independence.
