Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen Attends Centennial Celebration of Whampoa Military Academy amidst Controversy Over Female Cadets' Drill Performance

Reported 8 months ago

In celebration of the centennial of the founding of the Whampoa Military Academy, female cadets from the Army Officer School performed drill exercises including marching in formation. This marked the first time female cadets were organized into a formation for such a display, with President Tsai Ing-wen presiding over the ceremony. However, the Defense Minister recently ordered the discontinuation of certain drill practices, including marching in formation, deeming them outdated. The event sought to emphasize the traditional values associated with the academy's legacy, showcasing uniforms from different historical periods. The future of such drill performances remains uncertain due to the Defense Minister's directive.
