ThePolitical Warfare College (Chinese:政治作戰學校), also known asFu Hsing Kang College (復興崗, "Renaissance Hill"), is amilitary academy inBeitou District,Taipei,Taiwan. During the Japanese occupation period, this location was the racetrack of Beitou; afterChiang Ching-kuo's inspection, on July 15, 1951, it became the campus of the formerly known "Political Worker Cadres School".
The College was modelled after the pre-warMoscow Sun Yat-sen University; it was intended to provide theRepublic of China Armed Forces withpolitical commissars loyal to theKuomintang regime. On 1 September 2006 the College became part of theNational Defense University, thereby ceasing to be a stand-alone institution.
After graduating from the college and their commissioning as second lieutenants or ensigns, they serve as platoon leader, counselor, political affairs officer, and psychology officer in the Republic of China Armed Forces. As political warfare officers, they are partly responsible for implementation of state political agenda on national defense matters and thus serve to provide moral, political, and cultural support. There are two graduates who have been promoted to generals. They are Yang Tingyun (Army) in the 1st year graduate and Chen Guoxiang (Marine Corps) in the 19th year graduate.
After losing theChinese Civil War in 1949 PresidentChiang Kai-shek retreated to Taiwan, and put forward the argument of "three points military, seven points politics". Chiang Ching-kuo was appointed to establish the school.
During the cold war the tuition of Nicaraguan military personnel at the college was subsidized by theWorld Anti-Communist League, right wing regimes across Latin America sent personnel to the college to learn "counterrevolutionary techniques."[1] According toLe Monde diplomatique the College was "highly reputed for its training in anti-communist warfare."[2]
South Korea sent military personnel for political warfare training at Fu Hsing Kang College.[3][4]
