The basis and purpose of my.writing this booklet stem from my sincere appeal to my countrymen and to all those countries of the Free World to increase their vigilance to guard against the red political coup instigated, conspired and staged by the Communist Chiang Ching-kuo right there in Taiwan (Formosa), and thereby to save it from doom; and, at the same time, to remove that Chiang Kai-shek, stumbling block to the mainland's anti-Communist revolu- tionary movements; so as to overthrow as soon as possible the Peking regime which has been the chief cause of all the world's turmoils today-and finally to seek world peace thereof. "Taiwan's on the verge of a red political coup crisis!" This was not in any way meant to be an alarm-mongering. As early as October, 1956 1 have put forth this warning to all my countrymen and the whole Free World: "Chiang Ching-kuo will hoist the red .(5-star) flat in Taiwan!" Six months afterwards, namely, on May 24, 1957, serious anti-American riots had broken out in Taiwan which were the by-product, directly or indirectly, of Chiang Kai-shek as he either encouraged them or directed them from behind the scenes. Since then, and in the course of the past two years or so, my such warning has already aroused wide- spread attention and apprehensions from all over the Free World's top statesmen and leading newspapers. As proofs I need only cite two particular instances: (a) in a Reuter despatch from London daletined August 7, 1958, it quoted The Daily Mail as having received reports from Eastern capitals to the effect that "a Communist coup was being Approved For Release 2003/04/22!: CIA-RDP80ROl731 R000200130010-9 Approved For Release 2003/04/22 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R000200130010-9 prepared in the Far East which might he either in Thailand or Formosa Y, Taiwan) "; (b) U.S. Senator Warren G. Magntson (Democrat, Washington) has also openly expressed his grave concern towards Chiang Ching*t:uo's pro-Soviet, anti-American mentality. Perhaps they may be those who would have this to say in defence of Chiang Ching-kuo: Today he is an active anti-Communist element! Then, as has bi~::n known to all, the Chinese Communists hate America Very much. In order to strike at what they thought to b,, their enemies, the Americans, Mao Yan-ying, Mao Ts-tung's one and only son, took part in the Korean War,, and was at the front lines "shooting it out" at the Americans till he him- self died in the battle. If Chiang Ching-uo is truly anti-. Communist, why did he not make use of his past Conc. munist training as a guerilla fighter and infiltrate into the mainland to join the other patriots to t. Le up arms to "shoot it out" at the Chinese Communist lie professes to hate? I appeal to bring about the downfall of Chiang Kai- shek-all just for the very sake of anti-Co munism. When one opposes Chiang Kai-shek, it does not mean that one is opposing the Republic of China, too. No, sir! On the contrary, one does so in order to preserve and save the very destiny of one's country and one's people so that they need not be "buried to death" on account of Chiang Kai- shek. Down with Chiang Kai-shek will not affect th,; internal security of Taiwan. As to the of i=ntention "whe- ther there would be serious repercussions on Taiwan once Chiang Kai-shek is ridded from Taiwan"--at was merely a poor alibi, a "cry wolf" to deceive the people on the part of those slaves who have all their lives be :i depending on Chiang Kai-shek for government posts and for personal Approved For Release 2003/04/22 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R00020013001'0-9 Approved For Release 2003/04/22 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R000200130010-9 enrichment. As a matter of fact, once Chiang Kai-shek. is downed, Taiwan, as a base of operations for anti- Communist and recovery of the country, will only become even more secured and more stabilised than ever. And never for a moment contend either that America's Commit- ment to help defend Taiwan was itself a commitment to support Chiang Kai-shek! By "there's no change to America's `China Policy' ", it simply means that there's no change in America's policy to help defend Taiwan and to oppose the Chinese Communist, but it certainly does not imply that there'll be any change in America's policy to support Chiang Kai-shek, the dictator. Today, it needs only for the Chinese people to outline a way to rid Chiang Kai-shek and which will in no way affect the security and safety of Taiwan, then there will be no reason,. nor any ground, for America, champion of democracy and freedom, to continue to tolerate the very existence of this fascist dictator Chiang Kai-shek! Hong Kong-shop window of democracy, symbol of freedom! Although she is a British colony, yet all freedom- loving, democracy-loving Chinese people have risked their lives to escape from the iron curtain and seek haven (and, in a way, asylum) in Hong Kong, under the protection of the British Government. If only Taiwan could have also become "shop window of democracy, symbol of freedom", then not only the whole China situation, but indeed the whole Asian situation, would long have been entirely changed! Hence, I deeply believe I am not the only one who opposes Chiang Kai-shek, but that it won't be long now there will be a great number of my compatriots, all anti- Communist patriots themselves, who will rise as one to bring about the downfall of Chiang Kai-shek!

Under the affect of Mao Tse-tung's r'clinquishing his post as the "President of the People's Rep,:.dblic", dictato,; Chiang Kai-shek, who in the course of th past year has secretly been urging those delegates to ths: National As- sembly who are affiliated with his ruling Kuomintang to propose for the amendment of the Constitution in order to enable him to be the Nationalist Presidf nt for the rest of his life, was forced to declare on December 23, 1958 during a meeting of the Mainland Recovery Planning Board there in Taiwan (Formosa) : "I hereby solemnly declare on behalf of our (Kuomintang) Para, and on behalf of my (Nationalist) Government that not only we have no intention to amend the Constitution, we are even opposed to it." If the Constitution is not amended, aid amended in time, then Chiang Kai-shek will have torelinquish his present post (as President of the Nationalist Government at Taiwan), too, towards the end of May, 1960, and Approved For Release 2003/04/22 : CIA-RDP80ROl731 R000200130010-9 '4pprovehdall?hRreltoareenb90~/e0f'gthlpl-F[?M7tJ1Q0?10130010-9 election. Chiang Kai-shek's statement expressing his "opposi- tion" to amend the Constitution immediately brought about a very welcome response from Washington official quarters on his such decision that at the expiration of his present term of duty, he will relinquish his authority to his suc- cessor. The people in general, the press in particular, have unanimously sung their praise and approval. (In a speech, Dr. Hu Shih himself has given his unequivocal endorsement too!) All Kuomintang organs, which are controlled by Chiang Kai-shek, have, -however, come out openly voicing their disapproval to this issue. The third day after Chiang Kai-shek's announcement opposing the amendment of the Constitution, already all the Kuomintang-affiliated dele- gates attending the annual meeting of the National As- sembly still came out adamantly to insist the amendment. Furthermore, they have advocated the adoption of certain provisional measures which will enable Chiang -Kai-shek to continue to be the President of the Nationalist China. Such action should well increase the vigilance and con- sciousness of the Chinese people and of their overseas com- patriots! Conscious of Chiang Kai-shek's character as a man who says and does things differently, and of the working style of his ruling clique, they fully realize that a dire consequence will befall upon the political develop- ment at Taiwan during the year 1959 to 1960! CHIANG KAI-SHEK'S POLITICAL TRICK Insofar as Chiang Kai-shek's declaration (that he is opposed to the amendment of, the Constitution and that he would not seek the Presidency again) was concerned, Approved For Release 2003/04/22-: 61ARDP80R01731 R000200130010-9 Approved For Release 2003/04/22 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R000200130010=9 while official circles in Washington welcomed. Chiang's de- cision that he intends to relinquish his authority to his successor at the expiration of his present tern::. the attitude of the Chinese people was one of skeptical because they knew too well that it was only a mere interlude in a series of political tricks that Chiang had been play, ing all these years. During the past 2-3 years, the Chinese people and the Chinese Press' waves of anti-Chiang Kai-r,hek and his clique have risen everyday. Chiang Kai-t"iiek himself knew very well that the possibility of his amending the Constitution by legal and constitutional mearq~ in order to enable him to continue to assume the Presidetkcy was very dim indeed. Hence, even before he made the declaration that he opposed the amendment of the Con titution, he had already conspired all necessary arrange,nts on the question of how could be best preserve his "Etipire" when his term of the Presidency would expire toward ; 1960 and all his fame and fortune would be gone by that time- Chiang Kai-shek's action on July, 1958 iia. appointing Chen Cheng to become the Prime Minister (President of the Executive Yuan, tantamount to the Cabinet) of his Nationalist Government comprised of two sinister tricks: one for external purpose, the other for internal =.mrpose. External Purpose: Chen Cheng is the incumbent Vice-President, and he is also the Deputy Direct,)r-General (Tsung Tsai) of the ruling Kuomintang. T1c, meaning of Chiang's giving the concurrent job of the Ps emiership to Chen Cheng in his present capacity as the Vice President was to give the Chinese people and their int rnationaI friends-especially the people and government 01", America -some kind of an illusion, as if he was lendira> support to Chen Cheng by asserting and affirming the lat#?r's No. 2 Approved For Release 2003f94422-: CIA-RDP80ROl731 R000200130010-9 Approved For Release 2003/04/22 CIA-RDP80R01731 R000200130010-9 position and. status in both the Party and the Government, so that at the .end of the present term of Presidency, Chen Cheng would accordingly and affectively become his suc- cessor; and by thus Chiang expects to lessen the suspicion and caution the outside world has cast on him during the past 10 years for his continuous cultivation of his Communist son Chiang Ching-kuo. American news agencies in Taiwan were certainly fooled by Chiang Kai- shek when they despatched such report that "the signifi- cance of the appointment by Chiang Kai-shek of Vice- President Chen Cheng to the Premiership was to establish Chen Cheng as his `heir apparent' ". Internal Purpose: Not only Chiang Kai-shek is a 'dictator, since his retreat to Taiwan he has even trodded on the old path of the ill-fated warlord Yuen Sze-kai-- building up a "family empire". In this great anti- Communist era of ours, however, Chiang Kai-shek after all has had to be discreet about it and he just could not directly make his Communist son Chiang Ching-kuo as "heir apparent". In the past, apart from making his son the head of all secret police, and thus exercising the control of all military and political matters from behind the cur- tain by means of his secret service men, Chiang Kai-shek has never pushed Chiang Ching-kuo onto the front stage. But now, with Chiang Kai-shek facing a most unfavour- able political environment today, he knows very well that at the expiration of his term of the Presidency, when he simply would have to withdraw to behind the curtain, then it would be time for him to arrange to push Chiang Ching-kuo onto the front stage. However, the fact re- mains that Chiang Ching-kuo's position and status (as the Secret Service Chief) do not yet qualify him to become, when necessary, either as a successrr to the Presidency or an acquirer of the Premiership. And so, Chiang Kai- Approved For Release 2003/04/23 :rCIA-RDP80R01731 R000200130010-9 Approved For Release 2003/04/22 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R000200130010-9 shek has only to employ indirect but inge jiious sideways to push up Chiang Ching-kuo. All the followers of Chiang Kai-shek tully apprehend his such thoughts anu intentions; and of whom the one who would most obedient- ly conform to his thoughts and intentions o as to realize his wishes is Chen Cheng. But then Che o Cheng is an ambitious man, too! Today Chen Chen- and Chiang Ching-kuo are the two titular heads of two large groups which have been secretly at odds with each other and who constitute the bulk of followers surroundin Chiang Kai- shek today. But Chiang Ching-kuo is, after all, still "the Prince", and so, under the yoke of Chi.:xng Kai-shek's dictatorship, Chen Cheng would only hav~.~ to obey and submit to Chiang's wishes and would not dare to make a wrong move about it whatsoever. The in?,:ernal purpose of Chiang Kai-shek appointing Chen Cheng to form a new Cabinet was merely to make use of Chen Cheng in order to push up his own son Chiang Ching-kuo. Sure enough, Chen Cheng fully understood His Master'`i wish so that in forming his Cabinet, he faithfully invited Chiang Ching- kuo to join him and, alas, today Chiang Ching-ktilo is a member of Chen Cheng's Cabinet. Should Fine day under internal and external pressures Chen Cheijg suce ed to the Presidency, then Chiang Ching-kuo, being already a Cabinet man, could emerge and form a Cabinet, too, and becomes the nation's highest political executive. """"Within the true meaning of a "responsible cabinet?" as stipulated in the Constitution, he would thus be in grip of the govern- ment's actual power. At the same time, with. Kuomintang's slogan of "the Party rules the Government", and Chiang being the Party's Tsung-tsai (Director-Gene-al), although .in name only Chiang Kai-shek would lose the Presidency, he would still control and dominate everything from behind Approved For Releas420U3/04 2hi CIA Skag80g h 017l~60C001~60130010-9 Approved For Release 2003/04/22 : CIA-RDP80R0,1731 R000200130010-9 kuo, thus cultivating his son's capability to control and dominate, so that after his own ultimate death, Chiang Ching-kuo would grasp every power and authority thereby succeeding his throne to the "Chiang's Empire". IS CHIANG KAI-SHEK WILLING TO GIVE UP THE PRESIDENCY? Having first made all arrangements in favour of his Communist son Chiang Ching-kuo, and then openly com- butting himself to opposing the amendment of the Con- stitution, is Chiang Kai-shek really willing, at heart, to give up the Presidency towards 'the expiration of his present term`? Chiang Kai-shek has made it known that in opposing the amendment of the Constitution, he spoke both for the Kuomintang and the Government. In fact, there was no need of his making such a statement, because if his ruling Kuomintang Government does respect the country's-Con- stitution,, then it would be utterly impossible for anyone to talk about the amendment of the Constitution in the first place. Everyone knows that during the Kuomintang Government's so-called constitutional rule of 11 years' tenure, all the doings, political and otherwise, of Chiang Kai-shek and his clique have all been unconstitutional. With the Constitution never at any time faithfully observed anyway, how else could one talk about its amendment? The truth is, those who proposed the amendment of the Constitution was not due to there being any discrepancy in the Constitution itself, but merely due to their wanting to amend and do away the 'restrictions stipulated in Article 47 of ' the Constitution, clearing away thereby the only obstacle to enable Chiang Kai-shek to assume the Presi- dency- for the consecutive third term. Those were the slaves who have shamefully served their master Chiang Kai-shek. They were also a bunch of corruptive and Approved For Release 2003/04/22.:?1A-RDP80R01731 R000200130010-9 Approved For Release 2003/04/22 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R000200130010-,9 avaricious officials who depended on Chiang Kai-shek to enrich themselves with filthy lucre and fra government jobs. And so the real purpose of their stre-n tously launch- ing a campaign for the amendment of the t onstitution in order to enable Chiang Kai-shek to care, on. with the Presidency was merely to continue to cling to him in order, also, to continue to enrich themselves. Consequently, not only Chiang Kai-she. s declaration in opposing the amendment of the Constitution has not quieted down the proponents of its amendment, on the contrary, a campaign for it is being schemeii and carried out with even greater valour. There are two concrete measures which they have been scheming hxu t-d to realize, namely: (1) no amendments whatsoever w be made to the Constitution itself, but merely adding a upplementary provision to it: "Chiang Kai-shek will t main as the President before the recovery of mainland China"; (2) a motion by the Legislative Yuen, in accordariee with Pro- vision Two of Article 174 of the Constitution, to formu- late a set of measures to suit the requirement:, of an emer- gency, and which will be submitted to the . National As- sembly for its endorsement, with the equivalent effect of virtually amending the Constitution, or something tanta- mount to some provisional regulations in limes of an emergency, which will nullify the restriction in Article 47 about the tenure of the Presidency, by having t suspended for the duration of an announced period of emergency. The first method is now being vigorously pu} sued by the National Assemblymen who owe their allegiance to the Kuomintang or who are their fellow-travellers, on the pre- text that extraordinary times call for special i easure and which, in essence, will be a disguised form ,4 Ef amending the Constitution. The second method finds is exponent in the person of Taiwan's Supreme Judge, N.;+hih Shang- Approved For Release 2003/04/2: CIA-RDP80ROl731 R000200130010-9 Approved For Release 20031Q4/22 CIA-RDP80R01731 R000200130010-9 kuen, who wrote specifically on January 15th, 1959 issue -of the United Daily in Taipei, expounding, as a trial balloon, as a formal interpretation of the Constitution, and gave it his blessing and a lead. In his special article, Judge Shih specifically referred to the various procedures for amending the Constitution: (1) a motion to be put forth and carried by the National Assembly; (2) a motion to be put forth by the Legislative Yuen and which will be eventually endorsed by the Na- tional Assembly. In giving to the above two points his diagnosis and analyses, 'Judge Shih gave his interpretation of. the provisions in the Constitution. He opined that judging from the present number of the National Assembly- men, the stipulation as set forth in Provision One of Article 74 of the Constitution will utterly rule out the possibility of such a motion being proposed and carried out by the National Assembly. However, according to the interpreta- tion of Judge Shih on Provision Two of Article 174, he emphasized the feasibility of a motion by the Legislative Yuen and carried by the National Assembly with their respective numbers at the present time. Now, being the Supreme Judge of the Highest Court, .himself a Kuomintang National Assemblyman, yet Judge Shih dared to go against the professed wish of Chiang Kai- shek in opposing the amendment of the Constitution, and to depart from his position as a non-political, bipartisan judicial member of the nation's highest law-enforcing organ to give his biased opinions and misinterpreted the Constitu- tion thereby violating the Constitution itself. Why? The reason' is simple enough and apparent enough: Judge Shih was only performing a dual act of double-talk together with Chiang Kai-shek. It is generally, known -that Chiang Kai- shek's declaration of opposing the amending of the Con- stitution was merely a gesture and a trick to hoodwink the Approved For Release 2003/04/22 : filA-RDP80R01731 R000200130010-9 Approved For Release 2003/04/22 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R000200130010-'9 people. Judge Shih is serving as a slave and an accom- plice of Chiang Kai-shek. It is recalled when Chiang Kai-shek nominated him to the Legislative Yuen for his present appointment, he met with consider. ihle rebuffs as the legislators were critical of his behaviour and a heated dispute had ensued. But, of course, under Chiang Kai- shek's thumb, his nomination was finally approved. No wonder now that Judge Shih should become so impatient as to rush to express his shameful opinions in the amend- ment of the Constitution. How about Chiwing Kai-shek`? He is a facist dictator who would reprunar'3d and punish anyone who dares to go against his wish. if at heart he was really an opponent of the amendment of the Con- stitution, and one who sincerely no longer sk to continue the Presidency, then he would have taken disciplinary action to suppress them. In all his life Chiang Kai-shek has never said a word which he has meant to keep it, nor done anything right about it. But today not only the Chinese j_aeople would no longer be hoodwinked into accepting his empty pledges, neither would the people of the world at large allow therm selves to be fooled by him any more. In their despatch reporting Chiang Kai-shek's professed intention to oppose the amendment of the Constitution, the American-owned Associated Press has this to say: "Chiang Kai--,hek opposes the amendment of the Constitution and does not wish to be the President again when his present term expires. It is impossible to say whether he really meant to make an exit, or he might continue to exercise the control of his Government in his capacity as the DireCtor-General (Tsung-tsai) of the ruling Kuomintang. It has been it Chinese tradition to seek advance by makirf > a 'retreat, and then only to exert himself to carry on ur#der `popular demand'. Judging from past events, the professed inten- Approved For Release 2003/04122 :.CIA-RDP80RO1731 R000200130010-9 Approved For Release 2003/04/22 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R000200130010-9 tion of Chiang Kai-shek to retire will certainly evoke the unanimous demand for retaining him from the various quarters of the ruling Kuomintang." Chiang Kai-shek is a selfish individualist hero- worshipper, one who's devoid of any affection nor loyalty for his country and his people, and one who will use any means to serve his own end. Therefore, at heart he would never be willing to give up the Presidency at the expira- tion of its present second term. A FAR EAST "IRAQ" In the course of the past ten years since the fascist dictator Chiang Kai-shek's retreat to Taiwan, he has out- wardly tried to show that he has put his confidence in Chen Cheng, when actually he has been cultivating with his utmost his son, Chiang Ching-kuo, who was sent to Soviet Russia at the age of 1.4 to receive their rigid education and training, and where he stayed 14 years, returning to China when he was already 28, and who, therefore, is a model Communist himself, into a Secret Police Chief- using him just like Laurenti.Beria was being used, during the Stalinist era, in controlling all military and political machineries. During his stay in Soviet Russia, Chiang Ching-kuo had always been an active and model member of the Communist Youth Corps (his Russian wife who returned to China with him was herself a member of the same organization). Except they are different in names, all his doings at Taiwan have been of the Communist pattern and Communist style. In his thoughts and in his actions, they have been pro-Communist and anti-American. In Taiwan he criticised, attacked and caused the eventual removal and downfall of General Sun Jih-jen, an Approved For Release 2003/04/22--dI4 DP80R01731 R000200130010-9 Approved For Release 2003/04/22 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R000200130010-9 American-trained and American-liked West -)inter, who had won praise everywhere for having traine some 400 thousand modern armies for Chiang Kai-she. In May, 1957, Chiang Ching-kuo directly or indirecti instigated or directed anti-American riots. During the critical situations brought alout by th:; Chinese Communists' bombardments of the uemoy off- shore islands on May 23, 1958, Chiang Kai-, rjek's Com- munist son, this man Chiang Ching-kuo, see retly held "Peace" talks with the Chinese Communists through their emmisary in the person of Tsao Tze-jen. J t as Ameri- can marines were being landed at Taiwan to ,ssist in the defence of this last Nationalist stronghold, Ca.ng Ching- kuo made a request to the Chinese Conimu sists to tem- porarily cease shelling Quemoy so as to frustrate increased landings of American marines at Taiwan, itich would make it more difficult, if not more unfavoural.'le also, for him and the Chinese Communists. At the stiwne time, it was Chiang Ching-kuo who has suggested to. the Chinese Communists to point their fingers, in their talks at Warsaw, at the Americans for being "aggressors" of I .t.iwan: and also to demand for the withdrawal from that i ?a not only of the American 7th Fleet alone, but of all American military powers. Let me cite the following three events: (1) Tsao Tse-jen, the Chinese Communist. emmisary holding talks with Chiang Ching-lei,. a (through his own channel, too, of course), i.: f s only one of the latter's most trusted lieutem nts on the mainland, and who has written a biography of Chiang Ching-kuo.

During the years 1956/ 1957, it was Tsao Tze-jen who had brought about the then, reported "Peace" talks (the American TIMES Weekly has also touched on this subject at that time) between Chiang Ching- kuo and the Chinese Communists. (2) During the crisis along the Taiwan (Formosan) Straits in 1958, Chiang Ching-kuo again "in- vited" Tsao as a middleman to hold "Peace" talks with the Chinese Communists. In response to a suggestion made by Chiang Ching-kuo Communist Defence Boss Marshal. Peng Teh- hwai gave order for the temporary suspension of Quemoy shelling for a limited period of two weeks-this secret news was tipped off by Tsao Tse-jen to the Nanyang Commercial News of Singapore (he has on the surface been its Special Correspondent) in advance. From this we could see that Tsao had not failed in his con- duct with Chiang Ching-kuo, and it also went to show the degree of confidence the Chinese Com- munist had had in him (by giving him the "scoop")-last but not least, it showed, too, in- sofar as their talks with Chiang.

They hoped Chiang Kai-shek would also give up the ]'residency, while Taiwan (Formosa) will remain at its status quo to be "governed" by ChitLng Ching- kuo. This accounted for the very reason why Mao Tse-tung's "decision" was first.;: announced by Taiwan. The Nationalists boasted tL: t they had their agents well planted right ir,,- the midst of the Chinese Communist Party, which is of course sheer "baloney", entirely devd of truth and was meantto hoodwink the West only. The agents of Chiang Kai-shek had not had the slightest idea about the Seventh Plenary Meet- ing of the Chinese Communist Party held in Shanghai between April 2nd and April. 4th, this year 1959. They also made a wrong report that Marshal Chu Teh was to succeed Mao Tse- tung, which turned out to be contrary to the actual event.

And if Chiang Ching-kuo should stage such a coup this" year, he will have been in a better and more favorable position than the one afforded General Kassam. when he staged his bloody coup in his country Iraq! Chiang Ching-kuo could easily raise high the 5-star Red Flag over and in Taiwan overnight even without the slightest knowledge on the part of the Americans-this would be made readily feasible because of the shield and shelter he has enjoyed under 'his old man, Chiang Kai- shek, who is himself basically not a staunch anti- Communist and perhaps who is himself anti-American also! A Far East "Iraq" may take place at any moment now, and is in fact in the offing! CONCLUSION Under the pretext of the cause of anti-Communism and to save the fate of the country, Chiang Kai-shek re- assumed the Presidency in Taiwan in the year 1950, where- upon he issued a manifesto pledging to redeem himself by recovering the country and emphasized that it was with a repenting sincerity and behavior that he was thereafter to strive in the work of anti-Communism and recovering the country in order to deliver all his faults. Yet as evidenced by the political measures and the working style he has taken and adopted in the course of the past 10 years since his re-assumption of the Presidency, not only he has not been anti-Communist, on the contrary he became specialized, Approved For Release 2003/04/22:PA_RDP80R01731 R000200130010-9 Approved For Release 2003/04/22 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R000200130010-9 either directly or indirectly, in anti-anti-Como..uni.sm do- ings. Not only he has not strived to recover the country, he has even actively endeavoured to build up and bolstered his own "little kingdom" of the family-empire s,wl.e. Anti-Communism and recover the country is a popu- lar and unanimous demand of the Chinese pt ople, it is also the first and foremost policy of the State as well as the supreme task of the Government. Chian Kai-shek knows well that with his past perversities which serve con- trarily to the interests of the Chinese people's aspirations and his crimes which constitute the greatest dagers to the country's security, he would no longer be accepted by the Chinese people and he would find it impossible; o continue to stay on in the Presidency upon the expirai ion of the present term. Therefore he has again resorted to his old political trick and made all necessary arrangements to carry on with his conduct behind the stage when his ; erm as the Nationalist President comes to an end, by placing his own son, Chiang Ching-kuo, in the fore-front as the Govern- ment's executive. However, when the U.S. State Depart- ment made an open hint in giving support to General Chen Cheng as Chiang Kai-shek's successor of strength, thereby delivering a "coup de grace" to Chiang Chingl,.uo's ambi- tions, Chiang Kai-shek is forced to change hi mind ab- ruptly, giving up his original plan of conducting the State's national affairs from behind the scene and, it >tead, now strives to continue to stay, on at the Presidency ndefinitely. Chiang Kai-shek's avowal in opposing the amendment of the Constitution is nothing but a trick and treachery of the typical "one-step-backward, two-steps-forward" pat- tern. For he has since been exerting, though on the sly, his strong efforts, using, whatever means at tits disposal and irrespective of any consequences, to achieve his end, Approved For Release 2003/04/2: CIA-RDP80ROl731 R000200130010-9 Approved For Release 2003/04/22 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R000200130010-9 which is to stay on at the Presidency by amending the Con- stitution. (With Chiang Kai-shek representing the Govern- ment in opposing the amendment of the Constitution, any provisional measures adopted, and approved by either the Legislative Yuen or the Congress in an attempt to amend the Constitutional would therefore be unconstitutional.) Such shameless act and sinful scheme of his will no longer be tolerated or pardoned by the Chinese people. Instead, the Chinese people, at the appropriate moment, will arise to take positive action disregarding any sacrifices made or the President. Under the circumstance, the Communist prices paid to oppose and stop him from continuing to be Chiang Ching-kuo will exploit such a most opportune mo- ment, also his last chance, to stage a red political coup and plant the five-star red flag over Taiwan. Some might say: "As to this Communist Chiang Ching-kuo, not only the Chinese people alone, but the entire Free World also will all be keeping a close watch on him; what 'is more, the Chinese people as well as the American military pledged to defend Taiwan are all in. alertness, keeping him in strict surveillance, and which will for sure nip his conspiracy to stage a red political coup in the bud. Today ChianChing-kuo's power and posi- tion in. Taiwan are wholly-acquired through the personal support of his dictatorial father Chiang Kai-shek-with Chiang Kai-shek's term expiring in May of next year, 1960, stop him from continuing to .be the President and even down with him, would not the question solved by itself?" Yes, that's right. Since we now know that Chiang Ching-kuo has acquired his present power and position entirely through his dependence on Chiang Kai- shek, then with the latter down, will not the former be done for too? Having to face such an actuality, and in a circumstance under which he would have no choice, the Approved For Release 2003/04/22-: f9lA_-RDP80R01731 R000200130010-9 Approved For R so Chiang ing-kuo would have to stage his red political coup before his old man, Chiang Kai-shek ter- inmates the Presidency. Furthermore, when Chiang Kai- shek's efforts in scheming to amend the Constitution in order to enable him to continue to hold ontheoffice having met with the Chinese people's opposition and the Free World's pressures, and when at the rope's end he would find it futile to carry on the fight, then Chiang Kai-shek, a person who has always practised a doctrine of "it's better wat .t betrayed people than to let them betray me", would for sure be secretly harbouring and helping his Communist son Chiang Ching-kuo to realize and fulfil his: red political coup. As to the disposition. of Chiang Kai-shti=k, well, the Chinese Communists will at that time probable be inclined to reality, and in accordance with their agreement reached with Chiang Ching-kuo, let the "People's Government" in Peking to afford an appropriate position and protection. Taiwan-base of the Chinese people to fight the Com- munists and recover their motherland, front post of the Free World, bulwark of all the free countrie'; in the Far East against Communist threats, and a ring of the entire defence chain in the Pacific islands of the Free World. When and if Chiang Ching-kuo stages a political coup, Taiwan will fall into the Communist hands, then not only the Chinese people wit! be deprived of their base from which to attack the Communists and recover their mother- land, Japan, the Philippines and the whole Southeast Asia will be gravely threatened, and America will be chased out from the West Pacific. Taiwan will become the Chinese Communists' anti-American front post-they will even use the very military supplies which the Americans have fur- nished the Chiang Kai-shek government to oppose the Chinese Communists regime and turn them loose on the Americans themselves, exactly like their using American Approved For Release 2003/04/x:-GIA-RDP80RO1731R000200130010-9 Approved For Release 2003/04/22 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R000200130010-9 military supplies formerly furnished the Chiang Kai-shek government while he was still on the mainland to fight and kill the Americans in Korea. Therefore, the Chinese people as much as the Free World should never allow t aiwan to fall into the hands of the Communists. With the situation in Taiwan today so complicated, so critical and so ' grave, apart from increasing our vigilance to be more closely on guard, keep more surveilance and be more alert, we must gain time to first remove the crisis of Chiang Ching-kuo staging a red political coup in Taiwan, so that all concerned need not be caught napping in allowing it to became a Far East "Iraq", or that a conflict against the Chinese Communists would result from any actions: designed to forestall and suppress Chiang Ching-kuo from staging such a red political coup, . touching the general flare-up of another World War, and let Mankind undergo and experience the unpreced.entedly destructive disaster in history. But, then, how to forestall and remove the crisis of Chiang Ching-kuo staging a red political coup in Taiwan? We all know that Chiang Kai-shek is the chief culprit responsible for the grave crisis over Taiwan today. We need only to gain time and bring about the downfall of Chiang Kai-shek and which would automatically remove the crisis of his Communist son Chiang Ching-kuo staging a red political coup in Taiwan, thereby saving the fate of Taiwan from falling into Communist hands. Chiang Kai- shek is not only Chinese Communists' asset in Taiwan? he is in fact one of the greatest supporters in strengthening the Communist regime in Peking-Chiang Kai-shek is in- deed the stumbling block to the anti-Communist revolution on Mainland China! Since the Chinese Communists' usurpation of the Approved For Release 2003/04/22- PIA RDP80R01731 R000200130010-9 Approved For Release 2003/04/22 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R000200130010-9 Mainland, all the cruel political measures, ttiider the dis- guise of "reforms", adopted by the Peking. regime have aroused the popular dissatisfaction among the A}road masses of the Chinese people. In 1958, the Peking regime took a step further in implementing their most inht: tuna experi- ment, "the People's Communes", which brokt up China's traditional family system. The China Mair in(l has be- come a vast concentration camp for slaves. the Chinese people, as a rule, living under the yoke of t rannical re- gimes would be submissive and subjective It first, but would explode their revolutions when the op )ression be- came too excessive. At the same time, theta are cadres among. the Communist military and political e:als who are obsessed with nationalism, especially the leasng class in the locals, who, inside their hearts, are opposed to the cruel and arrogant doings of the ruling class of the Peking re- gime! (Example: the respective former provincial governor of Chekiang, Liaoning and Shantz ig.) They long to rise and promote revolutions in conjts rtction with their countrymen on the Mainland, overthrow the Peking regime and re-organize the government. But, unfortunate- ly, they were very much affected and hindered b America's nard-to-understand action in giving support to e a selfish, fascist dictator who does not have any natirj~ialist senti- ments at all: Chiang Kai-shek, and so they ere forced to continue to sutler and to endure, because ;bite purpose of their willing to pay a big price and a big . acrifice in order to start a revolution to overthrow the Iding regime was to oppose dictatorship, oppose totalitar ian -.m, oppose terrorism, and to fight for the political systei and ways of living of freedom and democracy, in order t~ save their country and their people from calamities. hey would certainly ever start a revolution to overthrow ? he Peking regime and then to allow Chiang Kai-shek, slur to his Approved For Release 2003/Q4/4lt ;CIA-RDP80ROl731 R000200130010-9 Approved For Release 2003/04/22 : CIA-RDP80RO1731 R000200130010-9 people who uses his anti-Communism merely as a cover, but in all truthfulness a real dictator and a fake democrat, to reap their fruitful successes-even Chiang Kai-shek himself has openly intimated that he would like his countrymen on the Mainland to start a revolution and overthrow the Peking regime, and then to sit, with arms folded, to reap their triumphs. The most apparent demon- stration is this: when the Tibetans could no longer endure the oppression of the totalitarian Chinese Communist rule, they rose to engage in the greatest struggle, to win both "freedom & autonomy", against the Chinese Communists, by couragously staging a bloody and difficult revolt on March 10, 1959, in a manifesto issued to the Tibetan com- patriots on March 26, Chiang Kai-shek said: "... as long as you (Tibetans) are more resolved and courageous than ever, and continue to struggle to the bitter end, I shall lead the armies and the people of the country to meet in junction with you on the mainland." In other words, in the midst of the mainland people engaging in a do-or-die anti-Communist revolution, Chiang Kai-shek with his arms folded is sitting idly to let it- (the revolution) die a natural death. If the fighting Tibetans could bear it out by being more resolved and courageous, and by continuing to struggle to the bitter end, by that time their victory will probably be in sight or indeed already won-and then Chiang Kai-shek under a honeyed pretext will lead his bureaucratic clique to meet in junction the revolutionary people on the mainland, in reality to "take over" once again in the same manner and the same pattern he and his clique "took over" the Japanese-occupied territories after the V-J Day (rob, grab, and loot), and thereby re- build his "Chiangs' Dynasty", and continue to rule, as an old-hand dictator more experienced than ever, the Chinese. people!

How could :Chiang Kai- shek, belonging to the old school type of Turk>h monarch, be ever suitable to become a Chief of State of a modern nation? No China people would ever accept his control and domination. The anti-Communist rP,volutionary armies in Tibet have since set up a Provisional Govern- ment; even in his anti-Communist declarationmade inside Indian territory on April 18, 1.959, no mention whatsoever was made of, and in fact there was nothing but contempt for, Chiang Kai-shek-were not these solid facts enough to serve as proofs? As a matter of fact, back in a Press Conference when touching on the China Problem, the former U.S. Secretary of State, Mr. John Fenster Dulles, has had this to say: "If an anti-Communist revolution should break out on the mainland, the question of whether anybody would be inviting Chiang Kai-shek try lead such an anti-Communist regime is itself a hypothetical and problematical question." In implementing his "People's Conirnuness" last year (1958), Mao Tse-tung has himself sown the seeds of failures and collapse for the Chinese Cornrnurist regime; and when they still wanted to continue to stagier on with this system of "People's Communes" for this yv ar (1959) under the slogan of "big leap forward for prod:ction", the next fiscal year (1959-1960) would see the Chinese Com- munists facing their greatest and gravest crisis since the birth of their regime at Peking. Under such a circum- stance, it might as well be the most opportun. time for the Chinese people on the mainland to stag.-, an anti- Approved For Release 2003/04/a :..CIA-RDP80R01731 R000200130010-9 ApprovedC o?riununestsrevolu ion/and o e- DP80 O e ,Rg regime 30010-9 Therefore, we must actively try to win time to get rid of Chiang Kai-shek. Apart from efforts to eliminate the crisis of a possible red, political coup there in Taiwan, wnile at the same time, more important still, we must, do away with Chiang Kai-shek who constitutes a stumbling block to such an anti-Communist movement on the main- land, as only thus would such a movement be accelerated and advanced inside the mainland iron curtain. It must be taken cognizance that as long as there's in Taiwan a Chiang Kai-shek who is still permitted and recognised to be China's ruler, a nation-wide anti-Communist revolution on a grand scale would never take place on the mainland at all-and so, thanks to Chiang Kai-shek, the life of the Peking regime would last just as long as that, too! During a Press Conference given in Singapore, the young Chinese pianist Fou Ts'ong (who escaped from the iron Curtain and rushed towards Freedom at the end of 1958) showed scorn for both the Chinese Communists and the Chinese Nationalists and said: "I am not in sympathy with either side. Most of the Chinese Com- munist policies are ridiculous; as to Taiwan, it has not done anything good so far for the Chinese people. For if it had, then the Chinese Communist regime would not have existed until today." Another statesman who under- stands and appreciates the China Problem well in the per- son of Mayor Arsenio Lacson of Manila, Philippines, who,. speaking as a member of a panel discussing foreign rela- tions over the Columbia Broadcasting System's nationwide television programme "Small World" in New York. on March 15, 1959, has this to say to Chiang Kai-shek: "It is a tragedy of the Free World that we have to support a man like Chiang Kai-shek." - He also asserted that "In China, you (referring to the American government) sup- .

Under the oppression and enslavement of't e Chinese Communist regime, the Chinese people on the mainland today have had quite enough and. are at the id of their tethers. It needs only for someone to light up the torch, a Hungarian-pattern anti-Communist revolution would spread and sweep the whole country in no time. By that time, a great number of those Chinese Communist armies would also take to defection, join the anti-Com- mun.ist revolution of their Chinese compatriots, march pointedly towards Peking, and., in one triumphant and successful stroke, overthrow the Chinese Cori; nunist re- gime. China is a vast country-all her conditions and circumstances, geographical, political, militaryilnd econo- mical, are entirely different from those of Hungary, there- fore the outbreak and outcome of a nation:ide anti- Communist revolution on the mainland would not be a second Hungary. By that time Soviet Russia ';.ill not be in a position, nor have the strength to interfere, and sup- press the anti-Communist revolution movement of the Chinese people. At the same time, under the iiluence of such anti-Communist revolution on the part of the Chinese. Communists, the Kremlin will probably guard, th its full efforts, against any potential and probable outbreak of similar movements (anti-Communist revolutionn) inside Soviet Russia, and she would not be able or dare, all the more, to interfere into China. Hence, by prom Ling revo- lution within Communist Chinese to overthrow the Chinese Communist regimes, there will be no danger, nor risk, of touching off a third World War, so to speak!

Today the Chinese Communists are taking all sorts of measures which serve only the purpose of destroying them- selves, the 'crisis of their economic difficulty as well as their internal instability is becoming more and more serious everyday. Furthermore, their brutalities as reflected in their violent actions against the Tibetans have exposed them to the world at large as a frightful new imperialist. Their lies which used to hoodwink the world are being unmasked, and they have become more and more isolated from amongst the world's communities. Today on the mainland, the subjective conditions as well as the objective circumstances as required by the Chinese people to promote, and stage a popular anti- Communist revolution were ripe and ready and there-- the only obstacle to it is to merely wait for the Chinese people both in Taiwan and in overseas to take concerted actions and rise as one to "down with Chiang Kai-shek", thereby do away with the stumbling block to the main- land's anti-Communist revolution movements. (As early as in 1956 the author has put forth "The Ways to Solve the `China Problem' "-in which I strongly advocated for the "retirement" of Chiang Kai-shek, abolition of the system of Presidency, revival of the old organic law of the Nationalist Government, so as to open the door in admit- Ling the return of the Chinese Communists to the coopera- tion of an enlarged coalition government, thereby remov- ing any likely obstacles which will hinder the uprisings and defections of those nationalist-minded Chinese Com- munist cadres as well as high-ranking military officers.

For the sake of saving Taiwan from its fait of falling into the hands of the Chinese Communists, for the sake of realizing as early as possible the wish of ocrthrowing the Chinese Communist regime, for the sakes of seeking world peace, all of us are duty-bound, and from which none could shrink or retreat, to arise, most positively, to bring about the eventual downfall of the fascist dictator Chiang Kai-shek! (N.B.-As to what concrete steps ought to be taken in order "to bring about the downfall of Citiang Kai- shek", eliminate this "stumbling block" to all anti- Communist revolutions on the mainland, which would be workable and yet would not in any wa affect the security and safety of Taiwan-as well as a detailed "blueprint" for a future China--the author regrets that they will not, for the time being, andx'or certain reasons, be included in this booklet, and for which I beg to be excused by my readers.)
