At a separate setting yesterday, President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) lauded the policy of allowing Chinese students to study here as a way of laying the foundation for sustainable peace across the Taiwan Strait.
Ma said the policy would help Taiwanese students better understand their Chinese counterparts at an early age and therefore help create peace across the Taiwan Strait.
“Such an opening is conducive to cross-strait peace, sharpening the competitiveness of Taiwanese students and helping local colleges and universities recruit more students,” Ma said while addressing a Buddhist summer camp at Fokuangshan monastery in Kaohsiung County. “To pursue everlasting peace in the [Taiwan] Strait, we should create chances that allow youth from the two sides to know each other at an earlier stage.”
