For all China’s precautions, some Chinese students do come round to Taiwan’s political way of thinking
coffee at a trendy restaurant in Tainan, a city in southern Taiwan, Li Jiabao appears calm despite the attention the 20-year-old student’s outspoken views have recently attracted on the island’s campuses. Mr Li is a student of pharmacy from the eastern Chinese province of Shandong. In March he released a startling self-recorded video in which he denounced China’s decision, unveiled about a year ago, to scrap the ten-year term limit for the presidency.
The students’ presence is a sign that both sides have become less worried about exposing future members of their elites to the ideologies of their foes . In China’s case it reflects confidence that its youth are unlikely to be won over by Taiwan’s view of itself as a sovereign country with every right to resist China’s claim to it. Recently China has reduced the flow. But the main purpose has been to show displeasure with Taiwan rather than limit exposure to its democracy.
But in its approach to student exchanges with Taiwan, other considerations have trumped China’s ideological reservations: a desire to satisfy burgeoning demand at home for education abroad, as well as to boost support for China on the island itself. China’s relations with Taiwan entered a deep freeze after the Democratic Progressive Party took over in 2000—the Communists despise the party because of its rejection of reunification.
