Fascist?[edit]

Please cite at least one source, and NO, being a student in Germany in a certain year is not adequate evidence. DOR (ex-HK) (talk) 17:11, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do you one better - he voluntarily served in the Nazi Wehrmacht. Docktuh (talk) 21:20, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cite your source on that “voluntarily” bit — as opposed to, say being told by his father to go study with the one major power that the Chiang family wasn’t already close to (CKS studied in Japan, CCK in the USSR, and Soong Mei-Ling in the USA), and you’ll break new scholarly ground. Then, publish your masterpiece, and if enough people think it is reliable, we can include it here.DOR (ex-HK) (talk) 08:54, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK even if "voluntary" is not the case, what else do you call an anti-communist Chinese collaborator with Nazi Germany who served in the Wehrmacht for three years and wasn't forced to at gunpoint? Docktuh (talk) 00:09, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In Taiwan he was a well known supporter of the fascist KMT regime who was strongly opposed to liberalization and democracy. Not sure we really need to explicitly say that though, almost all of the KMT officers of that generation were fascists (they had to be, non-fascists were purged).
