The Republic of China Military Academy celebrated the 70th anniversary of its reestablishment on Sept. 29. In a speech, former Army Commander-in-Chief Chen Ting-chong said he is a "Chinese person." Meanwhile, entertainer Lai Kuan-lin spoke in the Beijing dialect in a promotional video for China and said he is in "Taiwan, China."


The Republic of China Military Academy marked the 70th anniversary of its reestablishment with a grand celebration. Former Army Commander-in-Chief Chen Ting-chong gave a speech, during which he criticized the Democratic Progressive Party administration and said he is a Chinese person.

I am a Chinese person, and I am proud of what that stands for. What's sorrowful is that there are quite a few degenerates among the Chinese people who dishonor their ancestors because they want to be lackeys of the United States and Japan.

Cross-strait relations are currently non-existent, and Chinese military planes have encircled Taiwan numerous times in recent months. Chen did not think highly of Taiwan's defensive capabilities, saying Taiwan's military strength is "zero" and it will not be able to do anything against the People's Liberation Army. In response, the Mainland Affairs Council said it was highly disappointed by Chen's statements. It criticized him for using language inappropriate to cross-strait relations in a public setting and accused him of hurting the feelings of the people of Taiwan.

The Mainland Affairs Council wishes to express its deep disappointment with the outrageous words expressed by Mr. Chen Ting-chong. There is no direct connection between Mr. Chen Ting-chong's inappropriate words and subsidized students.

Chen currently serves as a board member of Huadong Taiwan Businessman's School, which receives NT$60 million in subsidies from the government every year. Some legislators have called on the Ministry of Education to assess whether the subsidies should be continued. In other news, Taiwanese entertainers Lai Kuan-lin and Darren Chen performed at a National Day concert. Lai also spoke the Beijing dialect in a promotional video for China.

I'm Lai Kuan-lin. I'm waiting for you in Taiwan, China.

China-based Taiwanese entertainer Michael Huang posted on Weibo about celebrating China's National Day. Meanwhile, an Internet celebrity waved the Chinese flag in front of Taipei 101. These successive displays of pro-China behavior have upset some people. Former Taipei County Magistrate Chou Hsi-wei said people still need to respect the Republic of China as their motherland.

If you are a Republic of China national, then you should respect the Republic of China as your motherland. That's my viewpoint, but people have the freedom to make their own decisions.

Chou also commented on Taiwan entertainer Ouyang Nana performing during China's National Day celebrations, saying the issue was controversial due to the song she performed and the occasion and she is responsible for her future development. Chou also advised the DPP government to let this go for the sake of cross-strait peace and interaction, saying if you regard the other side as your enemy, then the other side won't be your friend.



陸軍官校在台復校70週年慶祝大會，前陸軍總司令陳廷寵致詞，矛頭指向民進黨政府，高分貝嗆聲，還直言自己是中國人。

前陸軍總司令 陳廷寵：「我是中國人，是驕傲的象徵，悲哀的是，中華民族仍有不少敗類，不顧祖宗的榮耀，要做美、日的走狗。」

兩岸情勢緊張之際，共機頻頻繞台，陳廷寵不看好台灣的防禦能力，還批評國軍戰力是零，擋不住解放軍。陳廷寵減自己志氣的行為，陸委會表達高度遺憾，認為他在公開場合，對於兩岸關係極為不當的發言，已傷害臺灣人民情感。

陸委會發言人 邱垂正表示：「陸委會對於陳廷寵先生，離譜失格言行，表達高度的遺憾。陳廷寵先生個人的不當言行，與補助學生，這並無直接關連。」

由於陳廷寵擔任華東台商學校的董事，而政府補助學校，每年約6千萬元，立委也要求教育部，審慎思考是否要繼續補助。另外，慶祝中國十一國慶，繼歐陽娜娜後，來自台灣的藝人賴冠霖與官鴻，也在2020江山如畫國慶音樂會上表演，賴冠霖更以北京腔錄製宣傳影片。

台灣藝人 賴冠霖：「我是賴冠霖，我在中國台灣等你。」

長期旅居中國的藝人黃安，也在微博打卡，慶祝中國國慶，而在台灣，更有一名網紅，以台北101大樓為背景，揮舞五星旗，一個接著一個，表達熱愛中國的行為，引發爭議，前台北縣長周錫瑋則認為，還是要尊重中華民國是祖國。

前台北縣長 周錫瑋表示：「如果是中華民國的國民，還是要尊重中華民國，是他的祖國，這是我的立場。但是許多人的決定權，我覺得是他自己的決定權。」

對於歐陽娜娜，周錫瑋認為，問題在於表演的歌曲與場合，她要負擔的是自己未來的發展，冋時也建議，民進黨政府也應該要放掉一些，兩岸要保持和平與互相友善的狀態，如果把對方當敵人，對方就不會是你的朋友。
