Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense has reinstated anti-communist patriotic education for military academy graduates after more than two decades, citing increasing military pressure and infiltration threats from China.
The program, which was previously discontinued in 2002 and renamed "patriotic education," has now been revived to strengthen graduates' understanding of national security challenges and reinforce their commitment to defending Taiwan.
According to the ministry, the renewed curriculum is designed to help military officers understand "why they fight and whom they fight for" in the face of growing security concerns.
The classes will feature lectures from officials of the Mainland Affairs Council, National Security Council, Ministry of Justice, and scholars from Academia Sinica. Authorities say the goal is to help graduates clearly distinguish between allies and potential adversaries.
The move comes as Taiwan reports increased Chinese military activity around the island. National Security Council Secretary-General Joseph Wu said Taiwan is currently tracking more than 110 Chinese naval and coast guard vessels operating along the First Island Chain, describing the deployment as a sign of Beijing's expanding regional ambitions.
On Saturday, China also launched a new coast guard patrol off Taiwan's eastern coast, prompting a strong protest from Taipei, which maintains that Beijing has no authority in those waters.
China considers Taiwan part of its territory and has not ruled out the use of force to bring the self-governed island under its control. Taiwan, however, rejects China's sovereignty claims and insists on its right to self-govern.
