According to Taiwanese media reports, the issue of extending military service in Taiwan has attracted much attention from the public. Taiwan's "Defense Minister" Qiu Guozheng repeatedly stated that he would announce it before December 31, but he still has not let go of the extension. However, when Qiu Guozheng was questioned today (12th), he said frankly that his four-month military training campaign had no combat power, which was worse than those who participated in the summer combat camp. He believes that if you can complete the overall training in one year, "as long as you have an overall training, it is considered a condition for honing to become a qualified combat soldier."

Qiu Guozheng went to the Legislative Yuan on the 12th to report and prepare for inquiries. In the face of the Kuomintang "legislator" Li Dewei asking about the reasons for the shortening and increasing military service, Qiu Guozheng said that putting aside the cross-strait factors, the shortening from year to 4 months was due to the political atmosphere, and it was cut for several months as soon as the election came. However, after the four-month service period was promoted, it was indeed found that the training time was insufficient, and even the simplest qualified combat soldier could not reach the level. In the other four-month service period, he was not assigned to the army after 5 weeks, and stayed in a military school or a certain unit until the end of the service period.
Qiu Guozheng said that he predicted that this kind of military source was not as good as that of those who had participated in the summer combat battalion. "In the end of these military training, don't talk about lack of combat power. He doesn't even know what the captain is like, so the defense department is changing little by little.
Li Dewei asked, so the "minister" thinks that one year is enough for each military branch? Qiu Guozheng responded that one year of overall training, including specialized training, base training, or "three armed forces joint training base". As long as there is a total training, it is considered a condition for honing into a qualified combat soldier.
In addition, the Kuomintang "legislator" Jiang Qichen is concerned that if the compulsory service is restored to one year, the men who are currently serving 4 months of military training will receive a "training order" rather than a "retirement order". The people are worried about whether these men who are going back to the camp to make up for the remaining eight months of military training service.
Qiu Guozheng responded, "It will not affect."
