Jay Taylor is a Research Associate at The Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University.
Chiang Ching-kuo, son and political heir of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, was born in 1910, when Chinese women, nearly all illiterate, hobbled about on bound feet and men wore pigtails as symbols of subservience to the Manchu Dynasty. In his youth Ching-kuo was a Communist and a Trotskyite, and he lived twelve years in Russia. He died in 1988 as the leader of Taiwan, a Chinese society with a flourishing consumer economy and a budding but already wild, woolly, and open democracy. He was an actor in many of the events of the last century that shaped the history of China's struggles and achievements in the modern era: the surge of nationalism among Chinese youth, the grand appeal of Marxism-Leninism, the terrible battle against fascist Japan, and the long, destructive civil war between the Nationalists and the Communists. In 1949, he fled to Taiwan with his father and two million Nationalists. He led the brutal suppression of dissent on the island and was a major player in the cold, sometimes hot war between Communist China and America. By reacting to changing economic, social, and political dynamics on Taiwan, Sino-American rapprochement, Deng Xiaoping's sweeping reforms on the mainland, and other international events, he led Taiwan on a zigzag but ultimately successful transition from dictatorship to democracy.
Jay Taylor underscores the interaction of political developments on the mainland and in Taiwan and concludes that if China ever makes a similar transition, it will owe much to the Taiwan example and the Generalissimo's son.

评分国共之争,实质上是美苏之争,究竟谁赢了谁? 在台北市中心,台总统府的对面,矗立着一座被人称之为泛蓝精神堡垒的国民党党部大楼。它的七楼是国民党党史馆的所在地,全称“中国国民党文化传播委员会党史馆”,是中国现代史史料典藏和研究的重镇。 “2006年4月,在马英九当选...
评分早在1950年代,台湾的省辖市市长就是选举产生的,党外人士高玉树分别在1954、1964两度当选台北市长。首府一把手居然不是自己同志,国民党大佬们觉得很没面子(可见选举过程应该还算公正),于是力促将台北升级为直辖市,这样就可以不用选了。总统蒋介石同意了,旋即任命高玉树...
