Abstract
“Policy of Mainland Chinese Students Studying in Taiwan” has been a part of the overall Mainland policy, involving complicated aspects such as Mainland affairs, national security, immigration/emigration, and regulations of labors. Numerous problems have existed in the internal situations as well as the external environment across the strait, thus leading to different perspectives and expectations among the political parties. To Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), discrepancies in the policy also exist, with some thinking the policy too open while others considering it too conservative and thus requiring further amendments. The current study, based on different faction angles, attempted to investigate if the amendments to the policy were related to the competition among factions. The current study established a coalition of political parties and factions via the control force of the political party and the autonomy of the faction, under which potential coalition and policy output were observed.
The results revealed DPP’s changes to “Policy of Mainland Chinese Students Studying in Taiwan”—from the opposition as the ruling party, to their taking the policy with a grain of salt after the implementation of the policy, and finally to the hospitality in “2014 Mainland Policy Review: Summary Report”. In addition, factions in DPP held different perspectives on the part-time job and health insurance of Mainland Chinese students. To “Policy of Mainland Chinese Students Studying in Taiwan”, DPP has reached a consensus of its term—Mainland Chinese students. In terms of factionalism, furthermore, the “Communicative Group” and the “Conservative (Independent) Group” have existed in DPP, with the “Communicative Group” currently growing in strength. Factional coalitions affected DPP’s attitude towards “Policy of Mainland Chinese Students Studying in Taiwan”.
As cross-strait interactions become increasingly close, “cross-straitization” of education has become an issue that cannot be neglected. Diminution in policies cannot always be feasible act once and for all. The ruling party has to ponder deeply how to optimize the advantages of educational qualities of Taiwan, to create soft power during cross-strait cultural and educational interactions, and to promote “Policy of Mainland Chinese Students Studying in Taiwan” with a positive attitude.
