Abstract
The Taiwan cross-strait relationship has been highly politicized since 1949, when the Kuomintang (KMT) government withdrew from China to Taiwan. But the process of educational exchange has made enormous progress as the result of globalization initiatives. The year 1987 played a significant historical role in cross-strait relations, because not only did Taiwan lift martial law in that year, but it also granted permission for her aging soldiers, who had been drafted by the armed military forces from China during the civil war, to visit their families in China. Hence, the cross-strait relationship entered a new era in terms of communication.
