Taiwan Strait Network October 12 According to Taiwan media reports, the issue of military service extension has recently become the focus of discussion among young people. Kuomintang "legislator" Li Guimin days ago asked Qiu Guozheng, the head of the Taiwan defense department, if the military service will be extended to two years in one go? Qiu Dangshi did not deny it, saying that he would not explain it, and emphasized that the details are expected to be announced before the end of the year.
Li Guimin asked on the 5th whether the reason for extending military service was due to manpower shortage? Qiu Guozheng responded that insufficient manpower in the military affects military service is one of the reasons, but this matter cannot be decided by the defense department. And it is obvious that the 4-month training period is insufficient, which is due to the overall environment. It is not enough to strengthen for 4 months. As for how long it will be extended, it is under discussion and is expected to be announced before the end of the year.
Li Guimin asked, will it be extended to two years in one breath? Qiu Guozheng said he would not explain. Li asked again, will this affect the number of men who will be in the "how many years"? Qiu reiterated that the announcement will be handled together, but it will not cause the announcement today to come in at a specific year or in a certain year. This will be a problem and the defense department cannot afford it. Details will definitely be announced before the end of the year, because the announcement period will take 1 year. If it is announced for the New Year, it will have to be postponed.
As soon as this news came out, it sparked heated discussions in the forum "Dcard", which mainly focuses on college students. A netizen said: "When the election is announced, I would like to unite and refuse to join the Democratic Progressive Party this time when opposing the extension of military service." Another netizen said: "Can the Tahu Green Team desert the military service? It's time to enter the military camp to show your determination to 'resist China and protect Taiwan'!" Another netizen said: "The Democratic Progressive Party must be replaced in 2024!" (Zhang Wei/Compiled)
