The Huangpu Military Academy will hold a ceremony marking its 100th anniversary, featuring a parade where, for the first time, two female students from the National Defense University will participate in the traditional marching formation. This event is significant as future military academy parades are expected to eliminate this practice, making this year's parade a historical moment. President Tsai Ing-wen is set to attend, alongside military representatives from allied countries. The celebration aims to counter China's narrative regarding the Huangpu Military Academy's legacy, with over 10,000 attendees expected at the event in Taiwan's Fengshan, only about 100 from mainland China. The event also symbolizes the academy's historical legitimacy by showcasing uniforms from different eras. Interactions with countries like the U.S. highlight Taiwan's role in the democratic alliance and the ongoing promotion of the Huangpu spirit in Fengshan, Taiwan.
