Global Network quoted Taiwan's " United News Network " as reporting that DPP leader Tsai Ing-wen announced yesterday (27th) that compulsory service would be extended to one year starting in 2024. The "American Institute in Taiwan (AIT)" posted a post on Facebook that night, announcing that it welcomed Taiwan's recent announcement on the reform of the military conscription system. It also said that this move demonstrates Taiwan's commitment to self-defense and strengthens its deterrence capabilities. In this regard, some netizens on the island angrily criticized the United States as "the source of chaos in the world, selfish and afraid that the world will not be chaotic." Some people believe that the DPP authorities and the United States are "singing together."
Tsai Ing-wen held a high-level security meeting on the morning of the 27th and a press conference at 3:30 pm to report on the "Strengthening the National Defense Force Structural Adjustment Plan" and accept questions from the media. "Lianhe News Network" stated that this is Tsai Ing-wen finally holding a press conference again after 744 days. Guo Zhengliang, a former "legislator" of the Democratic Progressive Party, believes that Tsai Ing-wen chose this topic to hold a press conference because she knew that the United States was watching and that this was "an issue that the United States wants."
Tsai Ing-wen claimed at the press conference that as long as Taiwan is strong enough, Taiwan will not become a battlefield and young people will not go to the battlefield. These remarks made former "legislator" Tsai Ching-yuan sarcastic. As long as the leaders in Taiwan are bad enough, Taiwan will definitely become a battlefield, and not just young people, everyone will be forced to live on the battlefield.
Cai Zhengyuan said that Tsai Ing-wen tore up the ""92 Consensus" within six years. If a war breaks out between the Taiwan Strait, the leader of the Democratic Progressive Party will flee Taiwan and will not care whether Taiwan falls or not. But ordinary people cannot escape, so in order to prevent Taiwan from losing its Taiwan was ruined by Tsai Ing-wen, and Taiwanese should no longer listen to the nonsense of the Democratic Progressive Party.
Taiwanese media "China Times" revealed that the DPP authorities did not want to announce the extension of military service because this move would obviously be detrimental to the 2024 election. However, "the extension of the military service is a request of the United States. The article points out that the United States requires Taiwan to strengthen its military reserve capacity, and the DPP authorities can only comply with the push. The United States wants Taiwan to increase its defense budget, and the DPP authorities comply; now it wants the Taiwan military to resume conscription and extend the service period. Although it will have an impact on the election, the DPP authorities " It is impossible to disobey the United States."
The "AIT" spokesperson also declared in a Facebook post yesterday that the United States abides by its commitments in the "Taiwan Relations Act" and the "One China Policy" and continues to assist Taiwan in maintaining adequate self-defense capabilities.
In this regard, Zhao Shaokang, chairman of Taiwan's "China Broadcasting Corporation", stated that he "firmly opposes extending military service to one year or even longer" and will definitely change it back if the Kuomintang takes power. Zhao Shaokang also emphasized that Taiwan is not a "sub-colony" of the United States, and Tsai Ing-wen cannot be reduced to a "child emperor."
Zhao Shaokang believes that Tsai Ing-wen decided to extend her military service under pressure from the United States. He wonders, can extending military service for one year enable her to "resist China"? The people of Taiwan cannot die in vain because of the power struggle of politicians.
New Taipei Mayor Hou Youyi believes that "peace and stability" are unshirkable responsibilities, and that the policy line's true origin is the primary task to reassure the people. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan emphasized that the extension of the service period involves a wide range of aspects and requires complete relevant supporting facilities and professional assessment. Taoyuan Mayor Zhang Shanzheng said that the issue of military service is of great concern to all young people. He also wants to remind those in power that Taiwan's security is not limited to military service, but also the entire international situation and cross-strait relations. He hopes that the DPP authorities will consider it more comprehensively.
