A Chinese court has granted a man who spent more than 11 years behind bars after a false murder conviction more than 1.2 million yuan, roughly 200,000 U.S. dollars, in state compensation.
Citing insufficient evidence, a court in central China's Hunan Province overturned the guilty verdict against Zeng Ai-yun, a former graduate student of engineering at Xiangtan University in July.
Zeng was convicted in 2004 of murdering his graduate school classmate Zhou Yu-heng.
Zeng had been sentenced to death three times by the same court in 2004, 2005 and 2010. The Supreme People's Court rejected the verdicts and ordered a retrial.
Another classmate of the victim's, Chen Hua-zhang, was later found to be the real killer. Chen poisoned Zhou with diazepam on Oct. 27, 2003 as he was jealous of the attention Zhou enjoyed from their mentor. Chen deliberately laid a false trail and imputed the murder to Zeng, who was dating the victim's ex-girlfriend.
Chen and Zeng were both arrested in Nov, 2003. Zeng was sentenced to death while Chen received life imprisonment.
Chen was still sentenced to life imprisonment during the retrial and fined 178,000 yuan as compensation to the victim's family.

Taiwan's education department has increased the quota of mainland students who want to study in a two-year program to achieve a bachelor's degree.
The quota will be raised from 1,000 to 1,500 for the academic year of 2016 and 2017.
The two-year program is specifically open for students who study in vocational schools but would like to proceed in higher education and obtain a bachelor's degree.
Previously only students from southern provinces of Guangdong and Fujian were allowed to study in such programs in Taiwan. The department plans to add another four provinces as well as Beijing and Shanghai.
The application will start in February.
Compared with those in Europe and North America, colleges in Taiwan are considered a better option for vocational school graduates from the Chinese mainland. Taiwan colleges are known for the good education quality and lower tuition, as well as the convenience of being without language barrier.
The new policy is a result of negotiation between the two sides after the historic meeting between President Xi Jinping and Taiwan leader Ma Ying-jeou in Singapore. During the meeting, Ma suggested that the two sides allow more mainland students to study in Taiwan.

中国一家法院对一名因谋杀案错判在监狱服刑11年的男子做出国家赔偿决定，各项赔偿共计120余万元（约20万美元）。
去年7月，中国中部湖南省一家法院以证据不足为由，推翻了对湘潭大学工程系研究生曾爱云的有罪判决。
2004年，法院判处曾爱云谋杀其研究生同学周玉衡罪名成立。
法院分别于2004年、2005年、2010年三次作出判处曾爱云死刑的判决。最高法院未予核准死刑判决，并发回重审。
之后，法院认定遇害者周玉衡的另一名同学陈华章是真正的凶手。2003年10月27日，陈华章因嫉妒周玉衡受到导师器重，用安定片将其杀害。陈华章有意给出虚假证词，陷害与周玉衡前女友约会的曾爱云。
陈华章和曾爱云于2003年11月被捕。随后曾爱云被判处死刑，而陈华章被判处无期徒刑。
在重审中，法院依旧判处陈华章无期徒刑，并判决赔偿遇害人家属17.8万余元。

台湾教育部门扩大陆生赴台念二年制学士班的名额。
2016学年至2017学年，二年制学士班的名额将从原本的1000个扩增到1500个。
二年制学士班的招生对象是想继续高等教育并获得学士学位的大陆专科应届毕业生。
此前，台湾二年制学士班只招收广东省和福建省等四个南部省份的大陆学生。台湾教育部门的扩大计划增加了另外四个省份以及上海和北京等招生省市。
申请工作将于今年二月份开始。
与欧洲和北美的大学相比，台湾高校被认为是大陆专科毕业生更好的选择。台湾高校以优秀的教育质量和低学费而闻名，而且在台湾高校就读因为没有语言障碍也更为便利。
习近平主席和台湾地区领导人马英九在新加坡进行历史性会谈后，双方加强沟通促成了一这新政。在“习马会”上，马英九建议双方允许大陆学生赴台湾学习。
