Taiwan's military has officially reinstated "anti-communist" patriotic classes for its academy graduates after a 24-year hiatus, responding directly to escalating military pressure and infiltration risks from Beijing. While warning campaigns against mainland China's "communist bandits" were commonplace during the Cold War, the formal curriculum was dropped in 2002 and watered down to general "patriotic education. " The decision to revive the aggressive training program comes as Taiwan's defense ministry stresses the urgent need for new officers to "recognize the military mission of why we fight, and for whom we fight,"News. Azreports, citingReuters. To build a "clear awareness of friend and foe," the refreshed curriculum will feature lectures from top-tier national security bodies, including the Mainland Affairs Council, the Ministry of Justice, andTaiwan's premier government think tank, Academia Sinica.
