The DPP authorities, who continue to push for so-called \u201cDe-sinification\u201d on the island, are now turning their attention to the military, demanding that liberal education in the army’s non-commissioned Officers’ schools be stripped of the \u201cHistory of China\u201d curriculum, caused a huge controversy in the island.<\/p>\n
Claiming history of China are \u201cObsolete\u201d<\/p>\n
According to a report on December 2 in Taiwan’s Lianhe Daily, at the request of Taiwan’s National Security Council, and in line with Taiwan’s\u201cExecutive Yuan’s action plan for Transitional Justice Education,\u201d On November 19, a meeting was held between the legal department of the Ministry of National Defense, the office of the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Chief of staff, and the senior officers of the military academies on the island, liberal Studies in government schools will replace the history of China curriculum with \u201cWorld history\u201d and incorporate elements such as the current international environment and military issues both on and off the island, the aim is to improve the so-called\u201cTaiwan consensus\u201d and to remove\u201cOutdated and unproductive courses\u201d. It has also cut two credits each for language (including The Art of War) and English to add \u201cModern thought\u201d and \u201cHuman rights and democratic development\u201d.<\/p>\n
The report revealed that after the meeting, the schools had originally suggested that, in line with the policy, only \u201cHistory of China\u201d be deleted and replaced with \u201cWorld History\u201d, given the importance of language skills such as language and English to cadets, no other subjects are recommended. However, on November 29, Taiwan’s\u201cMinistry of National Defense\u201d again gathered representatives from all schools and asked them to comply, thus confirming the new curriculum. An official with knowledge of the situation said that the reason why Taiwan’s\u201cMinistry of National Defense Staff Headquarters\u201d repeatedly summoned schools to request cooperation was because Taiwan’s\u201cNational Security Council\u201d demanded that this matter be carried out, hsiao Bi-khim, the deputy leader, was also \u201cVery concerned\u201d.<\/p>\n
It’s like\u201cHiding a child’s bloodline.\u201d<\/p>\n
Qiu Zhixian, President of the children’s Association at Whampoa Military Academy in Taiwan, said Wednesday that the classic book \u201cThe Art of War\u201d, which is considered a must-read for the world to study the art of war, has become the subject of William Lai’s administration, the reason is worried about the influence of Chinese culture on the next generation of military officers? \u201cGenerals are wise, faithful, benevolent, brave and strict.\u201d Taiwan’s \u201cMinistry of National Defense\u201d has abolished education in history and the art of war, which runs counter to the The Art of War. He directly criticized William Lai for bowing 90 degrees to the fallen n soldiers, while the new generation of the Taiwanese army had no chance to know the example of Zhang Zizhong and other martyrs? Who are the serving generals who have not fired a single shot on the battlefield to criticize their predecessors? There is no virtue left.<\/p>\n
Ma Wen-chun, a KMT \u201cLegislator\u201d, yesterday criticised the DPP authorities for \u201cDe-sinicising\u201d the history curriculum, saying it was not enough for them to tear it apart and now they are turning their wits on military cadets. Do not understand this history (history of China) , how the future officers know the Huangpu army early days of the callus, how to experience the eastern expedition, the hard northern expedition, how to appreciate the great sacrifices of the War of resistance? If the Taiwanese army cut these, does it not even need the\u201cMartyr’s shrine\u201d to exist? How can the DPP authorities erase their memories while at the same time holding the spring and autumn festival (the Taiwan authorities hold sacrificial ceremonies to ancestors and martyrs on March 29 and September 3 respectively each year) ? Ma Wen-chun said that the Taiwanese army’s failure to learn history of China was like concealing a child’s blood, forcing the child to deny his or her origins and tearing up the child’s birth certificate. William Lai presided over the Whampoa Centennial celebration this year, did not also say \u201cWhampoa Spirit is where the Republic of China is\u201d? Now they want to cut off this legacy, so the army is not even their own brand will be smashed?<\/p>\n
Fan Qiming, a Taiwanese journalist, questioned whether the history of China curriculum would be changed to \u201cWorld History\u201d, after that, September 3, \u201cSoldier’s Day\u201d, July 7, \u201cArmy Day\u201d, August 14, \u201cAir Force Day\u201d and so on, these commemoration of the anti-japanese War of the soldiers to celebrate the holiday? Many netizens directly criticized the Taiwan authorities for\u201cMany small actions\u201d and\u201cInternal strife in Taiwan,\u201d while others said, \u201cIt is clearly from the mainland to Taiwan but can not say Chinese history, it is really sad.\u201d.<\/p>\n
The military history books have changed beyond recognition<\/p>\n
\u201cUnited Daily\u201d commented on the 2nd that the island’s military academy has\u201cPatriotic Education\u201d, which is based on military history and battles, and in the mainland period from the Huangpu Army, the Northern Expedition, anti-japanese war and other history inseparable. Taiwan’s\u201cMinistry of National Defense\u201d has changed its general education curriculum, not to mention whether it has political intentions, but by reducing the important basic credits in Chinese and English to add courses with strong political implications, the legitimacy of this approach has been questioned. The article argues that the DPP authorities’ eagerness to revise the military academy curriculum may be due to the Taiwan Army’s consistent adherence to the\u201cWhampoa Spirit\u201d of the mainland Army’s founding, in an attempt to gradually transform the existing army, \u201cI hope to remove the Chinese element from the minds of Taiwan’s professional soldiers.\u201d. Before this, some DPP\u201cLegislators\u201d advocated minor changes to the lyrics of the military academy song, repeatedly blocked by the school council.<\/p>\n
Wang Nianjing, a researcher on the island’s military history, wrote on the 2nd that the timeline of \u201cHistory of China\u201d runs through the late Qing dynasty to modern cross-strait relations and is a compulsory subject for the annual political examinations of military students on the island, the significance is clear. However, under the influence of \u201cDe-neutralization\u201d, the DPP authorities deliberately avoided the history before 1949, turned a blind eye to events such as the May Fourth Movement, the Northern Expedition and the anti-japanese war, and used political means to crack down. Attempts to remove the statue of Chiang Kai-shek, which was discredited and then brought back, and demands for changes to the lyrics to the historic Army Academy song were unsuccessful, but always caused a stir and a flutter of morale. Now, under the pretext of \u201cTransitional Justice,\u201d the DPP authorities are meddling in basic education courses, Remove the firewood from under the pot, and targeting cadets directly. The article said that in recent years, the history textbooks of the Military Academy on the island have long changed beyond recognition, but military students should know the relevant history so that they can understand the present and become lovers of peace, to know\u201cWho to fight for, why to fight\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
