Shen Chiu-tang points out that one reason for the increase in the number of students is the increase in new emigrants to North America. They still have deep feelings toward Taiwan, and hope their children will return there. Another reason is that the development potential of the Asian-Pacific Basin has caused Overseas Chinese to again stress the virtues of bi-culturalism.
沈秋棠指出，這幾年學員增加原因，一方面因為新移民人數增多，他們對台灣仍有深厚感情，希望子女回來；另方面則是太平洋盆地的發展潛力，促使華裔重新重視雙文化優勢。
