Lu Sheng's return to Taiwan policy provokes public anger, the Mainland Affairs Council and Taiwan's education departments hurriedly "should dump each other"
Overseas Network, August 7th. The DPP authorities’ policy "hairpin bend" set a record. The Taiwan Education Department issued a letter on August 5 announcing the full opening of overseas students who are not fresh graduates to come to Taiwan for quarantine and school. Cross-Strait consideration", Lu Sheng was excluded. The changes in Lusheng’s immigration policy have caused an uproar from all walks of life. Perhaps it is because they don’t know how to face doubts. The Mainland Affairs Council and Taiwan’s education departments have played a trick of "shocking the pot" and hurriedly accused each other of "improper".
According to Taiwan’s “Lianhe News” report, the MAC “Chairman” Chen Mingtong defended in Taiwan’s legislature on the 6th. The opening hours for the entry of land with children and land students must be reported to the “Border Management Conference”. The education department did not observe the latest epidemic situation, and did not report the land entry case to the meeting for discussion, and announced the release.
Chen Mingtong claimed: "Whether it is the'Xiao Mings' or the land entry management, they must be reported to the'Border Management Conference' of the Taiwan administrative agency for a ruling, but the education department will pass the'old case' in the past (Resolution in June) It’s not appropriate to launch it.” Chen Mingtong also mentioned that Commander Chen Shizhong also said that the epidemic is heating up and announced that masks are mandatory in eight places. In line with the overall development of the epidemic, epidemic prevention must be considered as the highest priority. Therefore, although the education department allows foreign students to be able to Entering the country, but for the part of land-born students, "we are more reserved" because we still have to adopt diversion measures.
On the other hand, Taiwan’s education department has pointed the finger at the MAC, saying that the MAC has considerations for cross-strait relations. Pan Wenzhong, the person in charge of Taiwan’s education department, also said in an interview on the 6th that the resolution is that “cross-strait affairs authorities believe that it is necessary to be cautious and education departments respect such suggestions." If the cross-strait affairs authorities observe the situation Remind that the education department can do further consultations.
An official from Taiwan’s education department said that in June, the education department participated in the only inter-departmental meeting so far. At that time, it had decided on the principle of openness, including opening up in order from fresh graduates, old students, and new students. Countries and regions with low epidemic risk The three principles of priority opening and quarantine hotels should be given priority to entry. Taiwan's education departments are open to the resolutions of this meeting, and there is no disrespect for inter-departmental resolutions.
Taiwan’s "Zhong Times Electronic News" published a commentary article entitled "Hairpin bends are too ugly" and pointed out that the precedents of the DPP authorities’ policy "hairpin bends" are not uncommon, and they are not new at all. Quickly, it's a bit of a turning point anyway, and you have to cover it up, don't make it too ugly. And like this time, when foreign students are allowed to study in Taiwan, the only turning method that excludes terrestrial students is an eye-opener.
The article said, don’t feel unbelievable. This process of decision-making, announcement and change, which is like a whole-player game, really appears in the operation of the DPP authorities. Education should have been the most neutral part of cross-strait exchanges. If even this pure land is lost or even distorted, the impact on cross-strait relations will be even deeper. Now that the global epidemic is about to stir, the DPP authorities have trampled on their professionalism and ignored the reality under the interference of political magic.
The article denounced: "The Secretary of Health of the United States, one of the most severe epidemics in the world, visits Taiwan, and he can enter Taiwan without isolation. Taiwanese businessmen and Xiao Ming just want to go home, but they have to work hard. The epidemic prevention met with senior US officials. Just turn, the most disadvantaged land student who has no votes is also turned off. The same is a turn, but the treatment is very different."
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Taiwan's education department policies have repeatedly changed. First, the Lu students were notified to postpone their trip to Taiwan from January 26, and the new semester will be postponed to the beginning of March. Lu students can be quarantined for two weeks after going to Taiwan in mid-February, and then all land students, Hong Kong and Macao students are required to postpone their trip to Taiwan. , This time just exclude Lu Sheng.
In this regard, Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on August 6 that since the outbreak of the epidemic, we have attached great importance to the problem of mainland students being blocked from returning to Taiwan, supporting land students in safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests, and promptly assisting in solving practical problems related to land students going to Taiwan. Out of political self-interest, the DPP authorities have been deliberately taking discriminatory measures against Lu Sheng studying in Taiwan, using various excuses for political manipulation, and repeatedly creating obstacles to prevent Lu Sheng from returning to Taiwan. On August 5, the DPP authorities announced that foreign students other than fresh graduates would be allowed to return to Taiwan to study, but they only shut out Lu Sheng, again seriously damaging Lu Sheng's legitimate rights and interests.
Ma Xiaoguang emphasized that the DPP authorities have hurt compatriots' feelings and created cross-strait antagonism, which has been questioned and criticized by public opinion on the island. Their practices of slandering and malicious discrimination will only backfire themselves in the end. The DPP authorities are advised to face up to public opinion and earnestly respect and protect Lu Sheng’s legitimate rights and interests when he returns to Taiwan. (Overseas Net Zhu Huiyue)
