Lawmakers have yet to achieve a consensus on such a measure, the chairperson said.
“If you open our schools to Chinese students today, you will have to recognize their certifications or their degrees. After all, how will they apply to our universities or grad schools otherwise?” DPP Spokesperson Tsai Chi-chang (蔡其昌) said.
“We haven't seen the Ma administration make any studies or take measures to deal with the proposal's potential impact,” Tsai Chi-chang said.
Meanwhile, responding to the allegations that she supported a similar measure during her tenure as Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) chief from 2000 to 2004, Tsai Ing-wen said that the proposal she supported would only see Chinese students come to Taiwan for exchanges — not full-time study.
“I said that both Chinese and Taiwanese students should partake in more exchanges in universities or institutions. A major difference is that this does not involve recognizing Chinese educational degrees,” Tsai Ing-wen said.
