White Americans obviously will hate him a lot, but I honestly think he was at least SOMEWHAT better than the alternative. And I am also biased in his favor because of his beautiful wife Song Meiling, who was a truly strong and courageous woman. It is a shame that Song's influence could not sway her husband's brutal policies though. I don't understand why he had to implement such brutal and authoritarian policies later in Taiwan, he could have embraced Sun Yat-sen's true ideals and principles. :(
