What’s going on with the bill for mainland Chinese students to go to Taiwan?

This is the case

1 Background

After the Ma government came to power in 2008, cross-strait relations entered the best period, and people-to-people exchanges, especially youth exchanges, entered a new stage. In the new stage, before 2008, mainland students could go to Taiwan as exchange students to study for 1 to 2 semesters, but they could not enter the study to obtain certificates. Therefore, in order to increase exchanges and promote the development of universities on the island, it was put on the agenda for mainland students to go to Taiwan. However, the independence and conservative forces on the island strongly opposed obstruction and related legal restrictions. Until August 2010, the ruling Kuomintang The Democratic Party has just introduced the current bill (the one you proposed) in compromise with the opposition parties. This bill obviously takes care of the sentiments of the independence faction on the island and is harsher on mainland students.

2 The specific plan

It is usually referred to as "three limits and six no" (the way it is written is one limit and two no, but in fact the soup does not contain medicine), and at the same time, it adopts " The academic qualifications of graduates from 41 universities in mainland China since 1999 (2010).

To put it simply, "national" (public) universities recruit master's degrees and above, while private universities can recruit bachelor's, master's and doctoral students, but public and private schools must charge according to private school standards.

The "Three Limits" include restrictions on the admission of higher education institutions, which only recognize mainland schools with outstanding academic reputation and excellent schooling quality; limit the total number of mainland students to 0.5% of the total "national" enrollment. 1%, about 1000 to 2000 is the principle; the admission of medical degree is limited. The "six no's" are no extra points for preferential treatment, no impact on "domestic" enrollment quotas (will be handled in the form of additional quotas), no scholarships and bursaries, no work during school, no employment problems in Taiwan (immediate departure after graduation), You are not allowed to apply for public employment, security examinations, etc.
