Taiwan military resumes 'anti-communist' classes for graduates, citing Chinese threat​

TAIPEI, July 5 (Reuters) - Taiwan's military has resumed "anti-communist" patriotic classes for its graduates after a quarter-century gap, the defence ministry said on Sunday, citing a rising threat from China as a senior official reported another rise in Chinese naval ‌activity.

During the Cold War, campaigns in Taiwan warning against the dangers of the "communist bandits" in China, whose government views the island as its own territory, were widespread.

But the formal "anti-communist patriotic education" for military graduates ended in 2002, being renamed "patriotic education".
Taiwan's defence ministry said in a statement that the classes for its military academy ⁠graduates had been restored due to rising military and infiltration danger from China.

"It is necessary for them to clearly understand national security threats and recognise the military mission of 'why we fight, and for whom we fight'," the statement said.

China's defence ministry did not respond to a request for comment outside office hours. China has never renounced the use of force to bring Taiwan under its control.

Officials from departments including the China-policy-making Mainland Affairs Council, the National Security Council, the Ministry of Justice and top government think ‌tank ⁠Academia Sinica will offer lectures to the graduates, Taiwan's defence ministry said.

"The aim is to establish among graduates a clear awareness of friend and foe," it added.

China's military operates almost daily around Taiwan.

As of Friday, Taiwan was tracking a record of more than 110 Chinese military and ⁠Coast Guard ships up and down the first island chain, Joseph Wu, secretary-general of Taiwan's National Security Council, posted on X late on Saturday.

"China's massive maritime mobilization along the 1st Island Chain ⁠is a clear sign of its expansionism," Wu said, referring to an area stretching from Japan to Taiwan, the Philippines and Borneo.

On Saturday, China's Coast Guard launched a ⁠new patrol off Taiwan's east coast, drawing a sharp response from Taipei, which says Beijing has no jurisdiction in those waters. Taiwan's government rejects Beijing's sovereignty claims.

I mean if he bad at ruling then how come a completely destoryed country became a Nuclear power.

People forgot that the KMT inherited a island already developed by the Japanese and suffered no damage in ww2 along with US aid while the CCP inherited a large country that was completely destoryed with almost no aid what so ever.

The fact that PRC maintained independence while actually started to grow and become stable means Mao did something right. After all KMT had some many famine under their rule while the CCP only had one and after that no more.

Reminder also that Robert Maxwell, ghislaine maxwells dad and former mossad operative, also controlled pretty much all educational publishing and hence his pedo supporting fingers were in every textbook sent to every American kid.

Same should be done with Western University rankings lists. Chinese universities have to meet a certain criteria like minimum number of foreign students and foreign professors to be able to get high ranking on the Western University ranking lists.

Chinese tourism numbers to Japan have collapsed by more than half compared to last year, according to the Japan National Tourism Organization.

Behind the cancellation of flights is the decline in the number of Chinese tourists visiting Japan, with their numbers plunging over 60 percent in May from a year earlier, declining for the sixth month in a row, according to data released by the Japan National Tourism Organization.

Must have been Mao's purges of all the smart people in China. They must have either done to advancement in secret to spite Mao or idiots managed to achieve a miracle.

The narrative that Mao killed all the smart people in China literally make 0 sense when this is the era China space and Nuclear program we're developed and a strain of rice that can feed millions of people. Like the west needs to make their narratives make sense.
