A video released by the academy showed a Taiwanese graduate standing and waving the Republic of China (ROC) flag. The ROC Air Force could not be reached to clarify the number of Taiwanese cadets in the academy’s graduating class of 989 people. The ROC flag also appears in a photograph in which Trump poses with graduates during the commencement ceremony. The US Air Force Academy gave the ROC flag more prominence by placing it near Trump, he added. In February, ROC Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Liu Chih-tung (劉志堂) and another officer attended a series of training exercises at the US’ Anderson Air Force Base in Guam, and wore their field uniforms and full rank markings, not the customary plainclothes, Su said.
