Description
Summary:碩士 === 淡江大學 === 中國大陸研究所碩士在職專班 === 98 === It has been 60 years since the Chinese Civil War in 1949, after which the island was separated from the Communist mainland. However, because of sharing the same blood, culture, and language, people across the strait have interacted closely since 1987 when the Taiwanese government began to allow people to visit their relatives in Mainland China. The number of cross-strait marriages, which has always been the majority of intermarriage between countries, has increased significantly. As in most developed countries, there are social issues involving the new immigrants. This study focuses on the social issues with spouses from Mainland China The research method of this study includes citation analysis and interview. By reviewing literature, analyzing statistic data, and collecting information from interviews, this study presents the current status of Mainland Chinese spouses in Taiwan, illustrates social problems and public security issues derived from cross-strait marriages, and finally examines related policies. Even though the number of spouses from Mainland China is increasing, there is not enough attention on their social statuses such as living, education, work, parenting and their rights; moreover, they are experiencing many restrictions. Although the situation is improving because of Taiwan’s Mainland policy, it is important to have thorough immigration-related policies and proper corresponding measures. Otherwise, existing and upcoming immigration problems will have a negative impact on the stability of social development. Another point of this study is the discussion of illegal actions caused by fraud marriage. There are many cases of prostitution, forgery, and illegal working that have been public security problems. An examination of the fraud marriage and existing policies suggests that current related policies need to be reviewed and improved. The government must confront the rules on punishment of violation in order to deter inducement of crime. In the final chapter, there is a literature review of the documents about cross-strait cooperation in crime-fighting. It is hoped further communication and cooperation regarding crime-fighting across the strait in the future will benefit people on both sides.
