Police surround a road near the Formosa Regent hotel where Chen Yunlin, chairman of China's Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS), had a meeting during his visit in Taipei November 6, 2008. About a thousand protesters surrounded the hotel in Taiwan's capital, where Chen held a meeting on Wednesday, to protest against closer ties between the two political rivals.
