Taipei and Beijing yesterday signed three agreements and agreed to place the economic cooperation framework agreement (ECFA) on the agenda at the next round of cross-strait talks next year.

The deals signed yesterday — on the fishing industry, quality checks of agricultural products, and standardizing inspections and certification — bring to 12 the number of pacts inked by the two sides since President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) assumed power in Taiwan in May last year.

The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) said more than 100,000 people flooded the streets of Taichung City yesterday to protest against the government’s China-leaning policies on the eve of the fourth round of cross-strait negotiations since President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) took office in May last year.

Police denied the DPP claim that the protest attracted 100,000 people, saying there were only about 30,000.

Wu Den-yih’s (吳敦義) appointment as premier was not as popular as that of vice premier-designate Eric Chu (朱立倫), polls showed yesterday.

A survey conducted by the TVBS Poll Center on Monday night found that 61 percent of respondents said Chu, Taoyuan County commissioner and Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) vice chairman, was suitable for his new job, while 12 percent said he was unsuitable and 27 percent did not give an opinion.
