[Cicero]

I thought that Chang Kai-Shek was a pretty good guy, a real patriot. Unfortunately, he was undermined by FDR and his good pal Uncle Joe Stalin, and then by Harry Truman, with Marshall acting as point man.

So, basically, the Commies who infested our government at that time threw China to Mao—and condemned unnumbered millions of Chinese to suffering and death, as well as destroying an ancient Chinese culture that had survived the Mongols and numerous other invaders over the centuries.

Whether China will ever recover from that disastrous betrayal remains a question. But it sure as hell wasn’t Chiang Kai-Shek’s fault.

[Mr Rogers]

FDR’s communist friends in our government lost China. But of course, there WERE no communists in our government under FDR. Not in OUR history books!

During the war Chang Kai-Shek and Claire Chennault (AVG "Flying Tigers" later 14th AF) were closed political allies... it was Vinegar Joe Stilwell always undermining Chang & Chennault to Washington and talking up Mao...
