Chinese students currently enrolled in Taiwanese universities can apply to remain there, it said. To ensure the education rights of Chinese students, the ministry offered other learning resources, such as online courses, as alternatives. Since Taiwan’s government allowed Chinese students to study in Taiwan from 2011, it has not altered its policy of welcoming Chinese students, he said. Nearly 8,000 Chinese students have enrolled in Taiwan’s schools, although only 800 are currently in Taiwan, he said. About 40 percent of the Chinese students that apply to graduate schools in Taiwan are already in Taiwan studying for a bachelor’s degree, he said.
