Taipei, Nov. 30 (CNA) The government is continuing its efforts to improve conditions for Chinese students in Taiwan, the Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) said Wednesday.
As Taiwan pushes ahead with its policy of welcoming Chinese students, it hopes China will also help to maintain and cherish the fruits of cross-Taiwan Strait exchanges, the MAC said in response to a statement by its counterpart in China, which said Chinese parents and students have not been as enthusiastic about Taiwan as a study destination since the change of government in May.
The MAC said, however, that since President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) and her Democratic Progressive Party took office earlier this year, the government has been reviewing and revising its policy regarding Chinese students in Taiwan. [FULL STORY]
