Taiwanese Universities Won't Discuss 'One China'

At least half of Taiwan’s 157 universities have signed agreements with Chinese universities in which they pledge not to discuss issues involving “one China” -- a term for the Chinese government’s position that holds that Taiwan is part of China -- or Taiwanese independence in class, the Taipei Times reported, citing a preliminary investigation by the Ministry of Education. One Taiwanese university said the letter it had signed was intended to communicate to Chinese students that they would not receive “political” instruction.
