Abstract: Under the conduct of certain Taiwan political forces, “Taiwan Subject Consciousness” which stems from Taiwan island people’s spirit of resisting aggression and love of hometown has been turned into a social capital that helps the political forces insisting separation to seize power and propel “Taiwan Gradual Independence”. The constitutive subject has accomplished the alternation of generations. The youth has transformed into the constitutive subject of “Taiwan Subject Consciousness” from the constitutive object of it. The paper puts forward that since cooperation and exchanges between universities of both sides are the vital components of cross-strait relations, we should give play to the advantages of extensive connection with young people and convenience of organizing youth exchanges on both sides of the straits; through the exchanges and cooperation of higher education on both sides, we should constrain certain Taiwan political forces to use universities and students to construct their “Taiwan Subject Consciousness”.

Key words: Taiwan Subject Consciousness, Taiwan youth, influence, strategies
