Well, it happened sooner than I thought: Taiwan students have stormed the Legislative Yuan, demanding that a trade agreement with China be scrapped.

Dispute regarding China trade pact has been brewing since last year, fiasco in the Legislative Yuan is a common feature of Taiwanese politics, nothing new. Any suggestion of US involvement is as credible as science friction.

Crimean are Russians, Crimea secession is backed by Russian military might. Taiwanese are not Americans, Taiwan is not backed by US troops. Taiwanese politicians very well knew. Crimea has no ramification on Taiwan.

It is a civil unrest over a controversial bill
Although it is too early to tell how it develops it is no where near the situation that is unfolding in Ukraine
USA has already planted millions of lackeys in the island
Ma will suspense passing of the bill to restore peace
So I dont see a copy of Crimea happening in Taiwan

Nothing to do with Crimean or independence. They fear that Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement will crush Taiwan's SMEs. More business and investment will flow to China mainland, leaving Taiwan empty. Many argue this agreement is an unfair advantage to Mainland China, because Taiwan never lacks capital, human resources, or technology from China. China will open 65 business industries for Taiwan to invest, and Taiwan will open 55 industries. Medical service, finance, telecom and tourism from both sides will open to each other. But Taiwan's market is relatively small, they can't resist external investment's crush. They also have the concern that to invest in China is difficult, you know, the approval process, competition from state owned company, especially the business regulation, so risk is high to them although Taiwan company has favorable policy than most China SMEs.

Taiwan still has a way to go before it become a civil democracy. If the students do not agree with what the lawmakers agree, don't vote for them the next time. If the majority still vote for the same people, than that is what the majority wants.

Maybe what Taiwan need is a change to the parliamentary procedure. In the US, all major treaties requires 2/3 vote in the congress. This would serve Taiwan better.

The only way for integration between Taiwan and China is a peaceful integration. From China's perspective, if it has to use arm forces, though the results will be predictable, CCP has already lost. China must do all it can to bring about a peaceful unification.

No ramification with the Ukraine crisis. At the end of the day the bill is going to pass.
