Taipei, March 31 (CNA) More than 30 members of the Black Island Youth Front, an organization behind the occupation movement, tried to storm the Presidential Office late Tuesday in protest against the government plan to join China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.

Their attempt was blocked by military police and security guards, with four of them arrested and taken to a police station. Those remaining in nearby places shouted slogans such as “Refuse to have our sovereignty dwarfed,” and “Make the procedure public and transparent, forge societal consensus.”
