Taiwan’s Ministry of Education (MoE) is developing “China literacy” teaching materials for compulsory education aimed at enhancing students’ media literacy and national identity, Ministry of Education Secretary-General Lin Po-chiao said, as reported by Taipei Times.

The curriculum will focus on six core topics: democratic processes and systems, democratic defence and resilience, media literacy and identifying disinformation, Chinese cognitive warfare against Taiwan, national identity, and cross-strait relations and the Chinese political system.

The initial draft comprises 13 sections that address key issues, including democratic fundamentals, media literacy, differences between Taiwan and China’s social and cultural developments, and national and cultural identities.
