Authority | Democratic Progressive Party | Military Service System
Multiple Taiwanese media have reported that the education department in Taiwan has launched a "3+1 plan", which allows male Taiwanese university students to complete their four-year college education in just three years, leaving one year to serve in the military. In response, public opinion on the island strongly criticized the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities for hastily pushing young people on the battlefield as cannon fodder in order to seek independence through military means.
Some people are concerned that college students could have planned their own time, but the DPP authorities are compressing their time, which will affect their social and work life.

"This is what everyone is most worried about!" New Taipei City Mayor Hou You yi questioned today. In the current situation in the Taiwan Strait, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities have asked students to sacrifice their most precious four years of university study time. Does this mean that young people should quickly go to the battlefield? He believes that the purpose of higher education is to keep college students away from the battlefield and enter the workplace.

Retired Taiwanese Major General and Kuomintang representative Wu Sihuai also stated on the 24th that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has been in power for 8 years, and the military service on both sides of the Taiwan Strait has been extended to 1 year. Now, a "3+1 plan" has been introduced, which has disrupted the education system, caused public unrest, worried parents about the future, and left students with nowhere to go.
Retired Major General Li Zhengjie of the Taiwan Army stated on the same day that the education and defense departments of Taiwan had mixed up unrelated matters, resulting in "nothing like it!"

"Now the DPP is doing it for itself!" Huang Yangming, a Taiwanese media person, said bluntly that the fundamental question is, if the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are not in danger, why do these plans have to be made? If the two sides of the Taiwan Strait develop peacefully, why do they have to do so?

Taiwanese netizens criticized Taiwan's education department for not engaging in education, but only engaging in politics; if they continue to engage in random activities, not only will the quality of Taiwan students become worse and worse, but the "strawberry soldiers" of the Taiwan army will become softer and worse. Some netizens criticized the DPP for being unscrupulous and seeking "independence" provocation, which made the soldiers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait fierce and dangerous, pushing the young people of Taiwan to the battlefield, "the DPP will not fall Taiwan!"
