Chiang Kai-shek never said in his life that he was a Taiwanese, he was the president of the Republic of China, the president of China. He was not the president of Taiwan.
I believe we all hope for a democratic China
because taiwan official name is ____
@@user-vy4fe8nj9d Its an important difference. Chiang Kai-shek did not think that Taiwan's official name was the "Republic of China". He did not see Taiwan as a separate country but as merely a province in China and in his view the Republic of China was not just limited to Taiwan but it was all of China which included Taiwan.
At this very moment no one says The Taiwan is not Republic of China. Trying to divide them can not change the reality.
@@unknownsoldier9438 yea because the civil war literally didn't end. Taiwan today is the remnants of the ROC that once governed the entirety of China
I got to see Madame Chiang give an English speech in Taipei in 1987, and she was so well educated and erudite. She was 89 years old but spoke like a 70 year old, except with the most proper grammar and diction. Better than 99% of Americans.
Better than 99 percent is a bit of an exaggeration! Lol
Madame Chiang Kai Shek (Soong Mei Ling) and Hillary Rotham Clinton graduated from Wesley College.
She was a beneficiary of Missionary education

Morley Safer is a great reporter who really tries to learn the subject and explore the nuances - true journalism👍🏼
Realistically, there are two China.
China officially name is People's Republic of China.
Taiwan officially name is Republic of China.
Taiwan is a country like South Vietnam in the past. Or a country like South Korea now.
i'm south korean. reunification of motherland!!!
I agree. If you listen to the commentary, it's so much better than the crap we hear now in the news. It's more in-depth than what we have now - at least in the U.S.
The media was afraid to call out Chiang Kai Shek as a fraud for fear of losing their job or be killed and it happened till this interview where Morley Safer said so called. Someone called him out and lost their teaching job. I guess with the interview the Maniac General couldn't touch Morley Safer in fear of all those companies combined with more revenue could pull out their investments.
@@katrinoy1 legally, Taiwan was never, is not and will never be a country. Those ones who say “realistically” Taiwan is a country are the ones who live in delusion. Have you read ROC’s constitution?
@@katrinoy1 I like Korea a lot, but I must say that the situation in Taiwan is very different from Vietnam and Korea.
Our history is not like Vietnam and Korea, the North and South have developed together for a long time.
Taiwan appeared on the world stage during the Dutch colonial period in 1624, along with the Spanish colonization of northern Taiwan. Next, in 1662, the Zheng Chenggong family, the son of pirates of the Ming Dynasty, ruled Taiwan. We were not included in the territory of the Qing Dynasty until 1683. After the Sino-Japanese War, we were colonized by Japan in 1895 until 1945. In the end, Taiwan was used as a base for returning to the mainland by the fugitive KMT regime that lost the civil war.
This man was born in 1887 fascinating.
Six years senior Mao.
@@iqbang9236
He was 24 or 25 when Qing fell
西元1907年，一個在日本留學的20歲中國青年，在與表哥書信往來中提到一段話：
「騰騰殺氣滿全球，力不如人萬事休，光我神州盡我責，東來志豈在封侯」。
四年後，1911年，他親自率領99名敢死隊青年，猛攻浙江巡撫衙門，光復杭州。
15年後，這個青年帶領一支軍隊，從廣州出發，打到北京，統一中國。
17年後，青年步入了中年，但救國之心沒變，他跟英國，美國，兩大強國的領袖平起平坐，把中國一百年來的不平等條約，全部廢除。

We the Chinese owe him a big time! Today’s China is turning his way, communism is no more.
蒋匪介石是压迫台湾人民施行白色恐怖的独裁者。台湾独立万岁！
There, this wise man had warned the US right then and there 50 years ago that despite their smiling campaign, the communists will not change. And it took the Americans 50 years to finally come to terms with this reality. The reporter was arrogant and highly biased in his interpretations of something he didn’t fully understand. The sheer murdering of hundreds of millions of Chinese by starvation and persecution in Mao’s regime alone would make equating the two Chinas under different leaderships simply because they still both pretty much look like Chinese laughable. As Chiang put it at the end, loyalty and faithfulness are the principles and trust for friendship, yet in history the US had unfathomably repeatedly betrayed and exploited Chiang’s China in favor of the communists whom the US itself had aimed to eliminate in its own county ?!
Yep, Chiang was Based. He knew their deceptions when he saw one.
RIP
Chiang Kai-shek
(1887-1975)
He's definitely one of the 20 century legendary Chinese leader
chiang Kai-shek is the great man and eternal president of the Republic of China!!!
Chiang Kaishek was as much a ruthless dictator as Mao Zedong, or even worse. Even taiwanese don't like Chiang Kaishek, go figure. Chiang Kaishek was so ruthless that he was kicked out of the United Nations in 1972, and people prefer calling Mao Zedongs China as the one and only representation of China, because Mao was even more progressive than Chiang was
This is true journalism, without taking sides, unlike today’s modern western media counterparts, despite their full access to information via the internet and social media.
Today’s media must return to the good old journalistic practices of the old days.
1. Not really. This was 1971, when the UN officially switched it's official recognition of China to the mainland rather than to Taiwan. Nixon was also about to pivot to Mainland China in order to drive a wedge between it and the Soviet Union, and his team actually considered the reunification of the two Chinas under the communist leadership to be inevitable -- a matter of when, not if. (Chiang even considered a scheme where Taiwanese fighter jets would be painted to look like Mainland jets, and where they would shoot down Air Force One while it was en route to Peking.) America was just coming to terms with the reality that Mainland China was the China it had to deal with, so it's understandable why it became more willing to acknowledge that Taiwan was a dictatorship. Also, the report here is unequivocal that the Taiwanese economic model was superior. As for the cultural stuff the report discusses, that all comes from Orientalism. Both were just exotic to Americans.
2. Non-western media nowadays is _not_ biased?
You're right, Chinese media is accustomed to do that,they never tell people a truth 😂😂😂
I love him and support Republic of China
One of the best reports on Chinese Taiwan issue so far.
What an amazing interview. This brings much more clarity to understand the current relationship between US-China-Taiwan than what today's mainstream media can provide.
america support authoritarianism , this general chiang kai shek imposed martial law in republic of china aka taiwan for close to 40 years
My family fled from China due to the religious persecution of Christians under the CCP. Our family lost everything making it to America for the Freedom of Religion. But so many..... entire families were disappeared, just for believing in a higher power than Mao Zedong.
Now the Uyghurs face the same thing under Xi Jinping.
SO much has happened since this interview that it loses relevancy by the day. Modern Taiwanese are not fond of Chiang Kai-Shek and what he did to the country.
@@TaiwanisMoving
Who are you trying to convince?
@@Tacit_Tern Just pointing out that contrary to the person I replied to, the old relationship between China and Taiwan does not apply to today.
This is an amazing piece of history. I'm surprised how in depth of the thought and the desire to better understand the subject matter was demonstrated by the interviewer. There was hardly any traces of arrogance, presumptuousness and biase on display here, in stark contrast to today's mainstream media.
Could not agree more!
memory of the tradition of government funded news in a democracy.
we really need to get that back.
CKS himself is a critical figure in the CBI theater in World War II. I guess the crew was just showing due respect.
Agreed. Very different from the arrogant interview Mike Wallace gave Jian Zemin.
bhh
Absolutely incredible interview and to hear Chiang Kai-shek. Far superior journalism than those of today and understand more the relationship between China CCP and Taiwan of today.
Full name is Taiwan ROC, in the past few years, ROC (republic of China) is being removed slowly and slowly from major media, to remove the historical connection with China. When entering Taiwan boarder, like airport, it still shows Taiwan ROC
What is CCP? there is no CCP in China. If you talk about the relationship to CPC, it should not be Taiwan, it should be KMT. Both CPC and KMT are parties. It is party to party relationship.
@@kristyy2488 No, the full name is not "Taiwan ROC", it is ROC.
@@shawnhennity1769 that’s before 1949, back then it was one China governed by Democratic Party and capital was in Nanjing…. Anyway, the point is, Taiwan does not want any ‘C’ mentioned in any forms of country name anymore.
@@kristyy2488
Both in the history of the mainland and Taiwan, there has never been a "Democratic Party." Don't invent BS.
Anyway, it is not up to Taiwan to want to or not want to mention China. Taiwan was a part of China, always is and will be. Period.
We have uncovered so much history since 1971. Today, I would no longer say Chiang was equally ruthless as Mao.
I could watch these old 60 minutes episodes for hours on end….
蔣公晚年的神韻，氣定神閒，因為他知道，歷史終將還給他一個公道 🇹🇼！
什麼公道？

It is refresh to watch the history and is amazing to see the history is repeating itself at this moment.
This archive is so powerful~wow!!!
I think he is one of China's greatest heroes, if deeply misunderstood and often criticized and attacked in the West. Yes, he killed lots of people to stop Communism, but he also saved an entire civilization from the Japanese.

He was already mouthing the very pro-China line that continued until very recently, and it was started by these neophytes.

The title should be "ROC's Chiang Kai-shek".
ROC includes more than Taiwan island.
Chiang answer was profound... He hoped that America will see the long term challenge that communist China will pose but Americans were short sighted and more focused to destroy Soviets... America in 2022 made the same mistake.
I love James Wei's speech. He is so right. He understood everything and imagine mainlanders who never knew how they were brainbashed.
FDR dropped the ball during WW2: He propped up the USSR which led to Stalin getting his friend Mao in power in China. We often don't think of the consequences of US involvement in WW2.
Hitler invaded USSR in June 1941. We didn't enter until Dec 1941. Only because of Japan. Germany declared war on us three days later. Then we declared war. It wasn't really a choice.

@@anthonyfuqua6988 Why did Japan attack? Why did Germany declare war? Don't start the story in the middle. FDR was a racist warmonger and communist sympathizer.
Interesting 60 Minutes as usual, the Chinese Leader revered by by all Chinese is Sun Yat Sun. But the post-Imperial collapse had so many war lords, as usual in Chinese history, to claim their portions. The Marxism promoted by Mao was opportunistic and timely for rural Chinese to civil war victory. Nonetheless, the common enemies were Japan and many colonising Westerners. As a overseas Chinese community in Singapore or Malaya then, our allegiance was through Sun struggle with Qin Imperial power and then Japan. The Mao era came as community divider and eventually more pro-Mao than against. Nonetheless, many overseas Chinese communities had to ally with their new home identity but pray for good outcome for Mao China and Chiang Taiwan. Naturally, most overseas Chinese prefer Taiwan to remain as status quo but part of mainland China. It's a tall dream as social and cultural evolution continue in its own paths. But war between Chinese is not an answer.
As an overseas Chinese, I also concur with your statement! All Chinese should all be proud of our rich history and culture and use it to bridge the difference between Taiwan and China. Ruthless and aggressively ambitious leaders from both sides are to be blamed.

How things have changed...
Rip chiang kai shek
At the time of this interview, Taiwan was emerging as one of the Four Asia Dragons and steadily making progresses as a society while at the same time, mainland China was in the middle of its cultural revolutions and policy mistakes that killed tens of millions of its own people. Since then, 50 years later, Taiwan has became a full fledged democracy and adapted western values while mainland continues to hold on to its communism ideology and remains as an authoritarian state. The respectable journalists at 60 Minutes failed to see the differences between the two and often compared the two regimes without pointing out the crucial differences. While no one in 1971 can predict what is going to happen 50 years later but there is no excuse for ignoring what was happening then.
Taiwan may have been having economic success but at the time it was a totally repressive fascist regime. Democratic reforms didn't happen until the late 80's. At the time this was filmed Taiwan was a one party dictatorship and political dissidents were all jailed or shot. It is pretty easy to see why an outside observe would see more similarities than differences with it to Mao's China.
@@unknownsoldier9438Do u know the definition of fascism cupcake? Stop throwing a word around that u know nothing of😊
@@unknownsoldier9438 you apparently have no knowledge on the local politics of Taiwan under Chang Kai-shek. Local elections were held. In terms of fundamental social fabric and individual rights, Chang's Taiwan was completely different from communist China. Communist China has been fundamentally governed by collectivities. There is no individual right to speak of. Everything one has including his life belongs to the party-state. In Chang's Taiwan, individualism existed and individual rights existed.
u.s never talk about its betrayal of kmt during + after the war
The betrayal is still ongoing up till today, just look at the weapons they are selling us, expensive but useless.
Whitewashing and propaganda.
@@annehua7009 Agreed, all lots of Westerners can do is complain about how horrible Chiang was, but I think he was at least much better than many other Asian leaders. Without him, America would not have won the Second World War, we can never forget his heroism.
【USA🇺🇸 China🇹🇼】
@@annehua7009 Not really. The allies would not have won without the US. Stalin and Zhukov admitted they would lose without US industrial aid. Without America Japan would have 100% conquered China. Japan had already conquered 90% of the Chinese population even in 1945 when they were on a defensive war.
