Within Chinese society, it would be wrong to describe his two children as illegitate, as they were acknowledged to be his children, ie, of his bloodline. Although it may have conflicted with his stated religion, 'polygamy' in its various forms was widely practised in his era and was accepted and expected. The important test of legitimacy was whether the mother took up with other men, in which case her children would really be considered bastards, and there was no evidence of this in this particular case. Even today in Chinese society, people such as Stanley Ho still practise polygamy. [[Special:Contributions/81.156.180.208|81.156.180.208]] ([[User talk:81.156.180.208|talk]]) 01:59, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Taiwan Relations Act

The information about the Taiwan Relations Act was wrong, in that it argued that the US would defend Taiwan in any case of invasion. If you read it, you will notice that it does not specifically state this.

Hallo, if I well understood, Taiwan will be defended only if it does not provoke China, right? So for example, if the former President of Taiwan have had declare independence (after the referendum about it), USA would have not defended Taiwan from a military agression. --antonio.napoli (talk) 07:30, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it does: "to provide Taiwan with arms of a defensive character; and to maintain the capacity of the United States to resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that would jeopardize the security, or the social or economic system, of the people on Taiwan."

Funeral cereals

"The state funeral ceremony was initially planned for Spring 2005, but was eventually delayed to winter 2005. It may be further delayed due to the recent death of Chiang Ching-kuo's oldest daughter-in-law, who had served as the de-facto head of the household since Chiang Fang-liang's death in 2004." In comparison, Chiang Kai-Shek article states: "The state funeral ceremony is planned to take place during the spring of 2006." Any news? --Oop 17:51, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
