The ministry has asked the schools to correct the situation and vowed to impose a fine if the infractions persist, Lai said. The problem is “very complicated,” Fan told a news conference in Taipei after an Executive Yuan meeting. The ministry would try to gain a better understanding of the overall state of exchanges between Chinese and Taiwanese schools, teachers and students, Fan said, adding that it would later discuss the matter with schools. According to information obtained by the council, Chinese National Cultural Heritage Administration Director Liu Yuzhu (劉玉珠) also serves as the president of the Zhonghua Cultural Relics Exchange Association. Under such circumstances, it would be inappropriate for Taiwanese teachers to accept an invitation, a national security official said on condition of anonymity.
