Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/資訊科技 vs 信息技术
information technology · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 技 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 資訊科技; on the Mainland it is 信息技术 - both point at “information technology”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 資訊科技、信息技術 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
Pair source: the OpenCC cross-strait conversion table, which maps each Mainland term to the form used in Taiwan.
