Taiwanese Students in China Despite Warnings

Over the past two years, more than 6,000 students from Taiwan have participated in academic exchange programs in China, despite an 'orange light' travel advisory issued by Taiwan's Taiwan===Mainland Affairs Council warning of security risks. Data from the Taiwan===Mainland Affairs Council and the Taiwan===National Immigration Agency also shows a reciprocal flow of Chinese students to Taiwan. While some Taiwanese universities, like National Chengchi University, actively promote these programs, others, such as Kainan University, prominently display government warnings about potential legal risks in China. Taiwan's Ministry of Education has repeatedly cautioned universities about these risks and established a monitoring system for exchange activities, advising vigilance against propaganda and infiltration efforts from China.
