A Study on Taiwan Youth's Willingness for Cross-Strait Exchange and Development in the Post-Epidemic Era
In the empirical investigation of Taiwan youth's inclination to engage in exchange and development in Chinese mainland during the Post-Epidemic Era,several key findings have emerged.Firstly,there is a noteworthy enthusiasm among Taiwan youth for short-term exchanges in Chinese mainland,while the aspiration for long-term development requires enhancement.The willingness of Taiwan youth to participate in Chinese mainland exhibits distinct typologies,namely the"negative avoiding type,""short-term exchange type,""selective participation type,"and"comprehensive development type."Each typology reflects varying focal points:the"selective participation type,"representing the majority,makes judicious decisions on engagement and development in Chinese mainland after comprehensive consideration;the"short-term exchange type"prioritizes interpersonal relationships;the"comprehensive development type"emphasizes the experiential aspects of residing in Chinese mainland,while the"negative avoiding type"places emphasis on the living environment.Crucially,there exists a significant correlation between perceptions of the"Image of Chinese mainland,"prior experiences in Chinese mainland,and the willingness of Taiwan youth to partake in cross-strait exchanges and development.This study advocates for targeted strategies tailored to the diverse willingness types and cognitive experiences of Taiwan youth,aiming to effectively advance cross-strait youth exchanges and integration.
