Taiwan Revives 'Anti Communist' Training for Military Graduates After 24 Years The decision by Taiwan's defense ministry to revive its "anti communist" training program for military graduates after a 24 year hiatus reflects growing concerns among Taipei's top brass about Beijing's efforts to infiltrate and undermine the island's armed forces.
Taiwan's military has long been aware of China's tactics, which involve wooing members of the Taiwanese diaspora and influencing their organizations to align with Beijing's goals.
This strategy dates back to Maoist era efforts to create a buffer zone between Taiwan and the mainland. However, what sets the current situation apart is the scale and brazenness of China's operations.
