Taiwan has added the Chinese government-funded Confucius Institutes to the list of Chinese political, state and military institutions where Taiwanese citizens are prohibited from working. This was reported by Taiwan’s Central News Agency (CNA) on Friday, citing Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council (MAC). According to the report, the measure is part of a more comprehensive amendment to an existing law from 2004. It lists work bans at Chinese organizations that compromise national identity and loyalty, are associated with China’s United Front, or pose a threat to national security.
