Chiang Kai-Shek looks absolutely baffled at his wife: "I have no idea what she's saying, I'll just sit here and try not to look too awkward."
Not at all ! He was the brains of a democratic China ! China would be a large Hong Kong today if we'd all helped him then in the good fight !!!
@@questionreality6003 China *should* have been raped by Japan had Kai-Sheck not fought agianst them
@@questionreality6003 Nope. Taiwan only ended the dictatorship in the 80s. In fact, even if the communists didn't win, China would still be a dictatorship at least util the 80s, a right wing dictatorship. And i doubt there would be a democratic large Hong Kong considering the Chinese population takes 1/5 of the world population and would China be an ally of the west just because it is democratic?
Chiang Kai-Shek looks absolutely stunned at his wife: "Isn't wonderful that you delivered such an eloquent speech with grace and nice smile?"
High school Hotty Explain the White Terror and 3 decades of marshal law please, that was not very democratic at all.
He didn’t sound like what I imagined.
What did you imagine?
I would have expected a deeper voice or something similar to Xi jinping. Mao Zedong Or Stalin’s Voice isn’t what I also expected to be by the way.
Think Ningbo accent not usually what westerners hear
@@harverc229 because Chiang is not communist so they should be different 😂
He has an accent hard to understand because Jiang Gong was born in Zhejiang
Madame Chiang is so fluent in English. Very impressive even the accent.
she grew up in the united states and went to Wellesley
She seems delightful. What a shame. If they hadn't been such a corrupt bunch of bandits, China may have become a normal country.
i love her accent!!!
She went to college here
Chinese American whole life.
Chiang's wife lives all the way through the 20th century and died at the age of 106 in 2003.
Yup, that woman lived a full and glorious life.
Uh... the 21st century.
She moved back and lived in NYC after Chiang died in 1970's. She spent her last 30 years living in New York.
Chiang had a strong non-standard accent.
And yet people in Taiwan think all mainlanders speak Mandarin as their first language and used it to give themselves an unfair advantage in Taiwan.
What do you consider is the standard accent?
chiiang is from zhejiang so his mandarin is not so good.
@@franciscroft57 the jiang family in zhejiang were mainly rich merchants families, especially those living near shanghai. jiang jieshi himself recieved a great education and spent a lot of time in shanghai. i highly doubt he can't speak proper mandarin as well
Most Chinese people back then spoke with heavy non-Standard accents
RIP
Chiang Kai-shek
(1887-1975)
We Chinese people will always remember President Chiang as a hero, great leader, true patriot, the protector of Chinese tradition. 蔣公千古！
this explains when visiting Taiwan i saw relics and historical items preserved in museum said to be burned during Mao.
@ZAM Communist brainwashing does that.
Chinese Communist Parti>>kuomintang sorry taiwanese but remember the first october 1949
NONSENSES!
Chiang Kai-shek was a Chinese nationalist HERO, an enlightened CHRISTIAN leader, and a bulwark against both communism and fascism. His legacy has been under siege and systematically distorted by Chinese communists (CPC), Taiwanese nationalists (DPP), and bleeding-heart liberals in the Western mainstream media. God willing, Chiang's portrait will replace lowlife Mao's in Tiananmen Square once again! Take back the mainland! Liberate the people! Three principles of the people unite China! Blue Sky, White Sun, and a Wholly Red Earth!!
Chiang Kai Shek was not Perfect. But He fought for the freedom of the Chinese People. Long live President Chiang Kai Shek-The Leader of the Free China!
American China vs Soviet China,
And neither of them are what they were imagined to be at the time
not freedom,lol
Kudos for the translator, it's never easy to be one.

Poor Mr. Chiang, truly a great man.
yes
now fucking communism china should be fuck off in this real world.
@@Csozombie stop swearing
He is a true follower of Dr. Sun Yat Sen. But misunderstood by American news reporters and politicians. When Mao had 100% of Russia's support, Americans abandoned Chiang because news media said Mao can bring democracy to China while Chiang is a puppet of capitalists.
No
Me as a chinese will always remember him🇹🇼
The real China 🇹🇼
Based gumball
🇨🇳>>>>>>
Chiang Kai Shek and Song Meiling ... man and woman on equal level! ... Respect, Dignity, heart.
So many Western scholars loathe this man...always complaining about his flaws...but he did kill less than other leaders of Asia for sure, compare his death rates with the Japanese or Mongol or Vietnamese, for example. There are no perfect individuals. I think he did the best he could. I hope people will not totally judge him too harshly. :(
hes still a terrible person. less bad of a human rights abuser is still a human rights abuser
He is not a very good leader, but he is a patriotic and backbone Chinese
@@jin4159 Well, he killed at most about 30,000 Taiwanese civilians while Mao killed 40-80 million Chinese civilians, so... o_O
@@ArnoldTeras his government tried to reconcile with the taiwanese locals
@@jin4159 what human rights did he abuse?
chiang's chinese accent really surprises me, it has a really rural tang to it and it feels like hes speaking a secondary language (not surprised since local dialects in china are still widely spoken)
He's a native Wu speaker and I think he was using the Nanjing dialect of Mandarin here.
Chiang Kai Shek, Herói.
Sua Esposa disse q o Objetivo de todo sacrifício pela vitória é a Independência Econômica e Política da China e o Bem estar do Povo Chinês no Futuro.
Infelizmente a história dele foi distorcida na China
@@dimitrimolotovvyacheslav4604 Yes，But many Chinese still remember him and thank him for his contribution to the nation. He also made mistakes. Everyone is not perfect. Mao Zedong was even more wrong.
@@boyiyelcham2630 yep, nice to know that
He kept wondering: "Should I destroy the Communists first or should I fight the Japanese first?? Should I temporarily be a dictator or should I really allow democracy immediately??" And Communists grew an army of millions when he wasted his time being indecisive....
No? This is just factually wrong, sorry bro study more.
God I love him
He is the faces of giver me Liberty or give me Death.
@moscovium115 he is just as bad as the communist
@@Kraed3 sure,sure,sure
@@Kraed3 Nope, he still much better than Mao
@@karl4893 Totally!
Wow, he has such a strong southern Wu accent that I’m pretty sure northern Chinese people would barely understand his Mandarin. Even I can barely understand his heavy accent.
I second that. I'm a Mandarin speaker (who lived most of his life in the US, though) and I can barely understand him. In fact, most of what I understood was through his English-speaking interpreter.
Funny enough, I'm actually a native speaker of a Wu Chinese language, so you'd think I wouldn't have a problem.
I speak Shanghainese, which is a dialect firmly in the Wu family. To be frank, I thought Chiang Kai-Shek was speaking Ningbonese for the entire interview.
Chiang Kai Shek Did notting wrong
He was a LOSER! LOSER S WERE ALWAYS WRONG!
@@jagdpanther2224
There is only the Republic of China there no such thing as Communist China.
@@subninja8069 Right on brother. I wish Taiwan would allow gun ownership though. It is another line of defense against The Communists and a symbol of a free society.
@@saurelius5217
The Republic or China will return to the main land inshallah.
@@subninja8069 No argument there, though still, The ROC needs to give more freedom and having an anti-drug stance like with cannabis goes against Chiang's vision.
I wonder if he is telling us to get out of his swamp.
If he saw how America was treating Taiwan and how we're buddy buddy with "China" today, he'd probably see us as an enemy.
@@ColHogan-le5yk Dame straight we are to blame for this BS we allowed the ccp to still exist when we could have just kept the pressure on the prc.

Holy crap Chiang really looks like Oswald Moseley here.
Great Leader.
the buzzing is killing me jeezus
Chiang Kai-Shek was brothel frequenter King.
Chiang speak in Ningbo style Mandarin
chiang made many mistakes but ultimately it wouldve been better for him and the kuomintang to have won the civil war and govern all of china
If you write off mass murdering millions, allying with Shanghai gangs to defeat the communists and having his armies treat the Chinese people almost as poorly as the occupying Japanese, then yeah, sure, he made "mistakes".
He was no better than Mao, and honestly China is definitely better off on the long term with CCP rule than with the Kuomintang. China's economic model of market socialism is the main reason they lifted almost their entire population out of poverty in the past 4 decades and rose as a superpower, while with the Kuomintang you would've had either a. a corrupt failed state puppeteered economically by corporate interests and politically by foreign governments like Japan and the USA or b. an emerging powerful NATIONALIST 21st century China that would be far more aggressive than the PRC in pursuing its territorial claims, would discriminate much more against non-Han ethnic minorities (whose culture the CCP actually champions and protects them legally to the point that they have a few more rights than Han Chinese...) and could've even started world war 3 with the USSR if they ever obtained nukes in the 20th century as Chiang Kai Shek was maniacally anti-communist... Still, even without the last thing happening, none of the 2 cases I can envision for a Kuomintang China would've been better for the Chinese people or for foreigners than the current CCP-led China.
@@Vict0r1984 lol, communist bandit
@@A0-3-0 lol idiot with no arguments
@@Vict0r1984 Who killed more than 40 million of his own countrymen? Who destroyed the Chinese economy? Who led the main confrontation in the battlefields against the Japanese invaders? Who sold out China to the Soviets, while portraying to the Chinese public the latter, the aggressor, as an ally? Who destroyed the Chinese cultural heritages? Who sought to preserve them, on the other hand, while the cultural revolution was taking place? Who sold out outer Mongolia in acquiescence to the Soviet demands? The answers are obvious!
@@johncharles304 lol at "who destroyed the Chinese cultural heritages", when Taiwan is westernized af and mainland China has a resurgence of traditional culture for decades now, a hanfu movement, is the largest producer on Earth of historical dramas etc - if you think the ROC is more Chinese than the PRC nowadays you're just clueless about China in general...
"Who killed more than 40 million of his countrymen?" - the answer is nobody. Really. That's a bogus inflated number discredited by all scholars coming from the propaganda piece called "the black book of communism", which even counts nazis, Japanese fascist soldiers and KMT soldiers killed in the civil war as "victims of communism". The actual number of people that died because of Mao's actions is way lower (likely less than half that) and many millions of Chinese also died because of Chiang Kai-Skek's white terror and other horrendous policies, both before and after 1949 - neither Mao nor Chiang Kai-Shek were paragons of virtue, so ultimately comparing their death counts is useless! One should rather look at what China has become under the CCP and was likely to become under the KMT if you are to assess in which scenario China is "better off"...
Third, how were the Soviets the aggressors in China, when they literally liberated Manchuria from the Japanese for them???
Fourth, I can partly agree that "Mao destroyed the Chinese economy" (especially if one looks at the Great Leap forward or his horrendous agrarian policies, including pseudo-scientific crap like Lisenkoism) , but the CPC itself, especially after Mao's death, revived it and made it an industrial superpower set to inevitably overtake America this century, had massive poverty alleviation programs that basically ended hunger, illiteracy and homelessness in China, and basically managed the country way better than the KMT ever did, so that kinda invalidates your implied point (that the KMT is better), doesn't it?
Fifth, the PRC allowed Mongolia to have independence and be in a Soviet sphere of influence throughout the cold war - it didn't "give it to the Soviets" or whatever nonsense you typed in there. Outer/Northern Mongolia was lost to the KMT since it had a communist revolution in the 1920s, and the fact that Taiwan keeps claiming it even nowadays actually illustrates my point that a KMT-controlled China would be a far more aggressive, nationalistic and jingoistic power than the PRC!
Won't waste more time with your comment, but your questions and assumptions themselves are already full of lies and anti-Chinese propaganda, so, given you've got a Pepe avatar as well, I suspect you're some altright idiot who anyways hates China. Feel free to argue back against my five points and covince me otherwise, but I'm done debunking your propaganda for now, so until next time!
Notice how she starts smiling during the political freedom part.
好萌
民有，民治，民享的新中国。
The level is not as good as nowdays normal people, but better than present first lady whose I never heard of.Chiang Kai-Shek look modest and gentle.I like his idea, abstain from meat, shower cool water, been kicken not kill but detain. With 70 ys separation, people idea is totally differen, united is only slongan.IT is more possible resorting weapon than democracy
Chiang kai shek the great leader a when albania havet a great leader like chiang kai shek
Mainland Chinese view him as a traitor.
Mao Zedong saw to that.
Because Mainland China has now been controlled by the Communist Government.
But Mao was the traitor *shrug*
And yet Mao destroyed most of Chinese culture.

Shek = sheik or Czech? Kai seems to mean 'sea'.
@Sen nen Are you the judge of information?
rock, a nickname called mostly by communists.
Shek is actually the cantonese pronounciation of mandarin "shi" meaning stone. I didn't know why, but I once read that Chiang used the name "Kai-shek" (in Cantonese, in Mandarin it is "Jieshi") as his pen name when he was studying in Japan. He is widely known as Chiang Kai-shek because the Nationalist KMT's headquarter at the time was in Guangzhou (Canton).

real china
The man looked like a deer in the headlights, and he doesn't know how to react.
Why was China battling against Russia? I never heard of that as a native Chinese.
China and Russia have always had a not so pleasant diplomacy since the early 20th century. The Soviet Union was supporting a communist uprising threatening stability and the kuomanting government( Kai shek was paranoid of communist supporters causing so he would do purges to fight the growth of communism, the Soviets did not like this causing diplomatic relations to stagnate ) an uprising occurred sponsored by the Soviets and the Chinese Communist Party joined the Comentern (The first faction of the soviets) though failed miserably resorting them to do the “long march”. After this Chang Kai-shek was furious since originally the Soviets backed them as the legitimate government only to sponsor a Coup. This also fed into more of his paranoia of communist.
Kalot Wang
Have you not heard of the Russo-Japanese war of 1905? You see,for CENTURIES NOW Russia has had imperialistic ambitions in the Far East, not only Siberia (extending into Alaska, which they sold to the Americans in 1867), but also MONGOLIA, KOREA, and MANCHURIA.
The Xinjiang region has ethnic and religious ties with what used to be Russian- or Soviet-occupied Central Asia. Uighurs speak a Turkic language, like Kirghiz, Kazakhs, Uzbek, Turkmen, and other national groups ruled by the Russians. Of course China has wanted, and still wants control of all the non-Chinese ethnic areas which surround China proper. These are not only 'satellites' but also outlets for population pressure within China.
So there is natural competition, which makes the current alliance between Putin and Xi look VERY STRANGE. I do not trust them AT ALL. They are like two wolves which suddenly decide to work together for more efficient killing.
I don't think that the alliance has anything to do with 'communist brotherhood'. Russia has NOT been communist since 1991, and China is communist in NAME ONLY. It retains the centralized command structure but its economy is mostly capitalist: look at the Chinese BILLIONAIRES who are popping up all over the world.
I realize that Chiang Kai-Shek was a general, a man of blood as it were. But I like one thing about him very much: he seems to have been serious enough about his Christianity to provided Bibles for some of his troops (I think it was in Taiwan, after 1949, but I'm not sure). The Bible is the only book which tells us where we can find forgiveness for our sins, and a kind of life which will outlast the grave:
(Romans 5:8) 'For God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.'
(John 3:16) 'For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.'

The most ironic thing about dictators discussing democracy
Some dictators, like this one, believed in eventual democracy. Not even Dr. Sun wanted democracy right away, but only when China was ready.
I don't think Taiwan was ready for democracy during Chiang's period. PRC sees Taiwan with hungry eyes while Taiwan itself was a clusterfuck until later of his rule.
Also remember that massive chunk of ROC Army perished protecting Hainan island, that made Taiwan security situation even worse.
@@jonathanferiza8966 yeah I don’t think the time was right either. The CCP could have struck at any moment and international help was not really a thing. On the other side if elections would have taken place the people would have voted to end the war/conscription and they would have been taken in by the CCP that way. I think it’s quite sad. He was stuck in a limbo where he just couldn’t risk turning into a democracy
