國軍

  1. (historical) short for 國民革命軍／国民革命军 (“National Revolutionary Army”)

Usage notes

  • This term is primarily used by the Kuomintang and its supporters in Taiwan. The CPC in mainland China, as well as the DPP in Taiwan use 臺軍 / 台军 (Táijūn) instead, but for different reasons; the CPC does not recognise the legitimacy of the Republic of China, while the DPP use 臺軍 / 台军 (Táijūn) to indicate that it is referring to the Taiwanese and not Chinese military.
  • In Chinese official usages, the term 國民黨軍 / 国民党军 (Guómíndǎng jūn, “Kuomintang forces”) was also used before the DPP rose to power.
