The student protests against Ma are picking up steam. The movement now even has a name: "Wild Strawberry." (I'll explain in a minute.)
- I had first mentioned student action here.
- Michael Turton interviewed one of the student protestors.
- eTaiwanNews has more.
As for the "strawberry" name, I quote the student in the Turton interview:
Q: So what do you call yourselves? The Wild Strawberries? Why that?
A: Because people say -- in Taiwan many of the media organizations say -- that young people are just like strawberries [weak and easily bruised --mt]. We think we're not like that, and we wanted to show that we could do something.
Sounds good to me!
