Universities neglect to warn students of China danger: MOEBy Chung Li-hua and Jonathan Chin / Staff reporter, with staff writerMore than 6,000 Taiwanese students have participated in exchange programs in China over the past two years, despite the Mainland Affairs Council’s (MAC) “orange light” travel advisory, government records showed. The MAC’s publicly available registry showed that Taiwanese college and university students who went on exchange programs across the Strait numbered 3,592 and 2,966 people respectively. The National Immigration Agency data revealed that 2,296 and 2,551 Chinese students visited Taiwan for study in the same two years. The university emphasized that it sends 300 students to sister schools across the globe a year, far more than the 20 to 30 students who go to China. The school’s administration continues to work with the government to enhance student safety without contravening the autonomy of students with regard to making decisions about their academic careers, it said.
