The fictional cartoon bear has been used to describe Chinese President Xi Jinping because of their apparent likeness.
The shopkeeper, a military enthusiast who retired from Taiwan's air force, said he made the patches to boost morale amid increasing Chinese military pressure. But he didn't know his customers included service members until he saw the photograph.
A patch depicting a Taiwanese air force pilot slapping a panda is displayed at a shop in Taoyuan, northern Taiwan, on April 11, 2023.Hsu, who sells the patches on various e-commerce sites, said his work isn't related to Taiwan's armed forces. Taiwan's air force told Reuters that it doesn't"particularly encourage" its members to wear the patch, but said it would remain open-minded about any morale-boosting initiative.
Hsu said he ordered more patches from manufacturers to meet the surge in demand. Orders have come from both civil society and the military, he said. And there was even an inquiry from the American Institute in Taiwan, the de facto U.S. embassy in Taipei. Do you have a tip on a world news story that Newsweek should be covering?
