According to the undersecretary of Ministry of Education, Taiwan and the US have achieved significant strides in recent years to advance Chinese education and collaborative research. Taiwan requires the US to send qualified English instructors from the United States, while the United States needs skilled Chinese educators from Taiwan. There are several potentials for collaboration between Taiwan and the United States in the high-tech research field, including semiconductors, artificial intelligence, etc. The undersecretary expects that this trip would further improve educational links with the United States, particularly for institutions that provide additional exchange possibilities.
