Here's a translation of some of the slogans being chanted in the video:

Against the Kuomintang, massacring the Taiwanese!

Against the Kuomintang, bringing Chinese Communists to Taiwan!


NOTE: The Chinese characters on the white "raincoat" being worn by Professor Tsay reads: Ma’s government in exile has desecrated the heroes of 228


Su Beng, himself leads the group with these slogans:

Objecting to the Kuomintang, bringing Chinese Communists to Taiwan

Objecting to the Chinese Communists to occupy Taiwan


The group continues with these chants:

Objecting the government in exile, massacring Taiwanese race!

Objecting to the Chinese Communists' political oppression!
