Wang Hao, who studied at Ming Chuan University in Taipei, Taiwan, said a pro-China statement would make the university more attractive to mainland Chinese students. “We have a very simple statement,” said Albert Kuo, newsletter editor at the island’s top school, National Taiwan University. He added that the mainland students find the experience to be “like paradise” because “our freedoms are very widespread.”The campus has a club for mainland students, some of whom volunteer to help Taiwan’s low-income indigenous children.
