As a Chinese, watching Professor Pantsov interpreting the history of CKS gives me another angle of understanding this controversial character but kind of twisted by both side of the channel.
In my humble opinion, Chiang Kai-shek did not transform Taiwan into today's affluent and democratic society but his son - Chiang Ching-kuo did the work of transformation. After 1949 while in Taiwan, CKS basically is a broken man and he is looking for a successor for his shrinking government. Mei-ling is an ambitious woman with connections to the United States which is the only country able to keep KMT regime on life support but Chiang picked Ching-kuo instead which is a wise decision.
Great video. Really knocked my Pantsov.
