So this is at least the third one I’ve seen in the last couple weeks or so.
Before that, the National Palace Museum, and the Taipei Zoo. Also, some story about a guy putting a gas cannister on railroad tracks.
I have a feeling this is China trying to mess with us. Or somebody has nothing better to do…
Also, I remember last month there was a bomb threat at a univresity in Hsinchu. But that was probably some student or students who didn’t want to take a midterm.
It’s all being done by one person in China who studied in Taiwan. He was arrested a couple of years ago for emailing fake bomb threats because a girl rejected his advances (or something). He fled back to China before his court date, and he hasn’t stopped ever since.
These details were all in the news. Can’t bother to link it.
The Taiwanese universities would love to have them. With student numbers dropping, little ability to teach in English, no reputation as a provider of quality education, semi regular stories of international student interns being taken advantage of and killed, the universities are in trouble.
But for Chinese students who want to go abroad but don’t have the English or academic skills, Taiwan is perfect. Nearby, a lot of cultural overlap (except of course things like government and food), cheap, etc…
Maybe, but I feel sorry for my colleagues who got degrees from national universities here and don’t have the option of going to work at universities in other countries
Lots of them go to Canada, UK, NZ, US, Australia, no problems. We get lots of money and population growth from them
It might be a problem if they stop going, but that’s unlikely. China still needs the western knowledge. Taiwanese universities have nothing to offer the CCP
