Taiwan's military resumes anti-communist patriotic classes for graduates after 25-year pause
Taiwan's defense ministry announced the resumption of 'anti-communist patriotic education' for military academy graduates, ending a pause that began in 2002. The ministry cited rising military and infiltration threats from China as justification. The announcement came as Taiwan's National Security Council secretary-general reported tracking a record of more than 110 Chinese military and Coast Guard ships along the first island chain.
