Full circle in Taiwan?

Will Taiwan be reviving its military courts? This Taipei Times article suggests it may be in the works. Excerpt:

President William Lai’s (賴清德) proposal to reinstate military courts could be a boon to legal efficiency and discipline, a former military judicator said yesterday.

Lawyer Chen Chia-hung (陳佳鴻), formerly an armed forces judicator, said that military tribunals might relieve civilian courts of backlogged cases by swiftly dealing with breaches of military law cases.

That would allow speedy and proper trials for cases that would otherwise undermine the discipline and image of the armed forces, he said.
