President Lai Ching-te, as the Commander-in-Chief, recently attended the 100th anniversary celebration of the Military Academy at Whampoa and emphasized that true military officers must fight for the survival and development of the Republic of China, as well as the safety and well-being of the people of Taiwan and its surrounding islands. He mentioned that those lacking this ambition are considered 'fake Whampoa.'
