      Is it? Chiang Kai-shek cemented his place in Chinese history for fighting alongside Sun Yat-sen against the military junta instituted after the fall of Qing. Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong then led China through the Japanese invasion.

      His place in Chinese history is undoubtable. You shouldn’t need to be perfect to be remembered.

        He put down an anti-government uprising by slaughtering 18,000 people. “Not perfect” is an understatement.

        I don’t think you should be perfect to be remembered, I think you should at a bare minimum not also be known as “The Butcher of Shanghai” to contemporary historians.

      Wouldn’t it be the opposite, as article mentions ( erase his legacy and the historical link with mainland China.)?

        also a deeply unpopular politician on the mainland so it’s also a show of good faith both-sides
