Mass rally protests military procurement plan in Taiwan despite rain

Tens of thousands of residents in Taiwan rallied on September 25 afternoon against 18.2 billion US dollar plan to purchase advanced weapons from the United States, which was proposed by Taiwan authorities.

Milk tea becomes a special symbol as Taiwan's military authority compares the weaponry procurement as only "one cup of milk tea to be cut" for people in Taiwan.
