Chiang Kai-Shek was born on October 31, 1887, in the town of {{i|Beiyang}} [[Xikou]], {{i|Beiyang}} [[Fenghua]] County, {{i|Beiyang}} [[Ningbo]], {{i|Beiyang}} [[Zhejiang]] Province, {{i|QingNew}} [[Qing Dynasty|China]]. He grew up in a time of great turmoil and change in China, marked by the {{I|CentHum}} [[Century of Humiliation|decline]] of the {{i|Qing}} [[Qing Dynasty]] and the rise of revolutionary movements. His early life was influenced by {{i|Tradition}} [[Traditionalism|traditional Chinese culture]], but he later adopted modern military and political ideas, which shaped his future role as a key leader in {{i|ROC}} [[Republic of China|China]]'s political and military landscape.

In 1901, Chiang went into an arranged marriage with {{i|Female}} [[Female|Mao Fumei]]. The marriage was not intimate nor romantic, still they gave birth to {{i|Chiang Ching Kuo}} [[Chiang Ching-kuo Thought|Chiang Ching-kuo]] in 1910.

The {{I|RightKMT}} [[Right-Wing Tridemism|right-wing]] faction of the {{i|Kuomintang}} [[Kuomintang]] (KMT) was officially formed following the purge of {{i|Commie}} [[Communism|communists]] and {{i|Socialism}} [[Socialism|communist sympathizers]] within the party in 1927, an event known as the "{{i|Shanghai}} [[Shanghai]] Massacre", which marked the beginning of the "White Terror". Chiang knew the communists were not trustworthy, and when {{i|ROC}} [[Republic of China|China]] is weak the communists will try to take over like they did with {{i|Russian Republic}} [[Russian Republic|Russia]]. This worry was not without reason, as a lot of spies from the {{i|CCP}} [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP) have been implemented in the Kuomintang, aiming to push and do bad decisions, leak plans, and bring down the KMT's reputation among the people. The primary targets of this {{i|AntiCommie}} [[Anti-Communism|anti-communist]] purge were those who advocated for the {{i|USSR}} [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet]] model of communist government, including figures like {{i|MarxLenin}} [[Marxism-Leninism|Wang Ming]] and {{i|Mao}} [[Maoism|Mao Tse-tung]] from the CCP, as well as {{i|LeftKMT}} [[Left-Wing Tridemism|left-wing]] members of the KMT. The Shanghai Massacre and subsequent anti-communist campaigns across China resulted in the deaths of an estimated 40,000 to 300,000 communist-affiliated political dissidents, brought the CCP close to extinction, and started the Chinese Civil War.

In 1927, Chiang married {{i|SoongMeiLing}} [[Soong Mei-Ling Thought|Soong Mei-Ling]]. In 1930, the cavalry troops of the warlord {{i|FengYuxiang}} [[Feng Yuxiang Thought|Feng Yuxiang]] made a surprise strike to Chiang's headquarters, but failed to find Chiang himself. He was hiding in a train carriage, praying to {{i|Jesus}} [[Jesusism|Jesus]]: "My Lord, display your divine power. If you protect me and help me escape tonight, I will convert to {{i|Christi}} [[Christianity]]." He finally escaped that night, and later that year, he went to a church in {{i|Shanghai}} [[Shanghai]] to receive baptism. He converted to {{i|Methodism}} [[Methodism]], the denomination of his wife, and it was thought to be a political move but it didn't really have any benefits of this sort, plus Chiang has expressed his devotion towards Christ.

A period of prosperity and modernization was experienced in China during the {{i|Nanjing}} [[Nationalist Government|Nanking decade]] with the modernization of infrastructure and a focus on light industries such as the cotton industry, airlines, highways, and factories. China also had increased education, with schools built nationwide under nationalist rule. Chiang was especially found of {{I|Intellectualism}} [[Intellectualism|intellectuals]], not persecuting the and even inviting them over for tea. However, the achievement was somewhat limited as the {{i|KMT}} [[Nationalist Government|nationalists]] only had limited control over the country, with {{i|Beiyang}} [[Beiyang Warlordism|warlords]] having de facto control over most parts of China, plus there was a small but raging communist rebellion. Periodical regional famines continued throughout China. The political tutelage stage was scheduled to end in 1937 with {{i|SunYatSen}} [[Classical Tridemism|Sun]]'s ideal of {{i|Constitutionalism}} [[Constitutionalism|constitutional]] {{i|Dem}} [[democracy]] to be implemented. But the process was delayed till the 1940s due to the upcoming {{i|ROC}} [[Republic of China|Sino]]-[[Empire of Japan|Japanese]] {{i|JapEmp}} War.

Chiangist Thought is a {{I|Conservatism}} [[Conservatism|conservative]] interpretation of {{i|Tridemism}} [[Tridemism]]. Chiangism is more {{i|SocCon}} [[Social Conservatism|socially conservative]], {{i|Auth}} [[Authoritarianism|authoritarian]], {{i|Confucianism}} [[Confucianism|Confucianist]] and {{i|AntiCommie}} [[Anti-Communism|anti-communist]] than the {{I|SunYatSen}} [[Classical Tridemism|original Tridemism]]. Chiangism is also more {{i|AntiJapan}} [[Anti-Japaneseism|anti-Japanese]] than the original Tridemism, however, after WW2, the relationship between {{i|Japan}} [[Japan]] and {{i|Chiang}} [[Taiwan|Chiang's Island]] (after his regime fled to {{i|Taiwan}} [[Formosa Island|Taiwan]] in the late 1940s) warmed up again due to shared interests, anti-communism, and conservative ideological alignment.

Unlike {{I|SunYatSen}} [[Classical Tridemism|Sun]]'s original Tridemist ideology that was heavily influenced by Western {{I|Enlightenment}} [[enlightenment]] theorists, the traditional Chinese {{I|Confucianism}} [[Confucianism|Confucianism]] plus {{I|Methodism}} [[Methodism|Christianity]] brought upon by his {{i|SoongMeiLing}} [[Soong Mei-Ling Thought|wife]] had much more influence on Chiang's ideology. Chiang rejected the Western {{I|Prog}} [[Progressivism|progressive]] ideologies of {{I|Individualism}} [[individualism]], {{I|Lib}} [[liberalism]], and {{I|Marxism}} [[Marxism]]. Chiang Kai-shek was a proponent of Confucian values, integrating them into his governance philosophy. He emphasized traditional Chinese values such as filial piety, social harmony, and {{I|Moralism}} [[Moralism|moral]] integrity, seeking to cultivate a sense of national identity rooted in China's cultural heritage.

Chiangism endorses and uses a {{I|Centralism}} [[Centralism|centralized]] and {{i|Auth}} [[Authoritarianism|authoritarian]] form of governance. Chiang Kai-shek maintained strict control over political affairs, prioritizing order and stability over {{i|Dem}} [[Democracy|democratic]] freedoms. The government under Chiang was characterized by his {{I|Militarism}} [[Militarism|militaristic]] and hierarchical structure, with a strong emphasis on loyalty and discipline.

A important core tenet of Chiangism is his vehement opposition to {{i|Communism}} [[Communism|communism]]. Chiang Kai-shek viewed the {{i|CCP}} [[Chinese Communist Party]] as a dire threat to China's unity and {{I|Tradition}} [[Traditionalism|traditional]] values. His leadership was marked by an ongoing civil war against the CCP, and his administration implemented numerous measures to suppress communist influence and activities. However, this wasn't always the case.

In the West, Chiang Kai-shek was once hailed as one of the {{i|Earth}} [[Earth|world]]'s greatest {{I|Socialism}} [[Socialism|socialist]] leaders. His portraits were carried along with portraits of {{I|MarxC}} [[Karl Marx Thought|Karl Marx]], {{I|Lenin}} [[Vladimir Lenin Thought|Vladimir Lenin]], {{I|Stalin}} [[Stalinism|Joseph Stalin]], and other socialist and {{I|Commie}} [[Communism|communist]] leaders. That was until the {{I|Shanghai}} [[Shanghai]] Massacre of 1927 when Chiang turned out to be strongly [[Anti-Communism|anti-communist]].

Like many of the Chinese such as {{i|SunYatSen}} [[Classical Tridemism|Sun Yat-sen]], Chiang was sympathetic towards the {{i|USSR}} [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviets]], at least early on. This is because of all the support the Soviets promised in the May 4th movement. Even after that, the Soviets still tried to steer Chiang towards communism, refusing to let the {{i|CCP}} [[Chinese Communist Party|CCP]] kill him when captured and offering help only if he allies with the Communists.

“”The 🏳️ Japanese are a disease of the skin, the 🏳️ Communists are a disease of the heart.
— 🏳️ Chiang Kai-shek

Chiangism is the political ideology and philosophy of Chiang Kai-shek, the former 🏳️ Generalissimo and 🏳️ president of the 🏳️ Republic of China. He was an 🏳️ Authoritarian Unity and 🏳️ Conservative ideology that was highly influential for 🀄️ China before the 🏳️ communist takeover, and 🏳️ Taiwan until the sweeping 🏳️ democratization in the 1990s. Chiangism is a right-wing personal tendency of the ideology known as 🏳️ Tridemism (Three Principles of the People), originally formulated by 🏳️ Sun Yat-sen.

Chiangism opposed 🏳️ feudalism, 🏳️ communism, and 🏳️ imperialism while promoting ideals of a unified Chinese national identity, and the extent of 🏳️ fascist influence on Chiang is debated among scholars. Chiang's 🏳️ Methodist beliefs also played a role in shaping his ideology.

History & Life

Early Days

Chiang Kai-shek was born on October 31, 1887, in the town of 🏳️ Xikou, 🏳️ Fenghua County, 🏳️ Ningbo, 🏳️ Zhejiang Province, 🏳️ China. He grew up in a time of great turmoil and change in China, marked by the 🏳️ decline of the 🏳️ Qing Dynasty and the rise of revolutionary movements. His early life was influenced by 🏳️ traditional Chinese culture, but he later adopted modern military and political ideas, which shaped his future role as a key leader in 🏳️ China's political and military landscape.

In 1901, Chiang went into an arranged marriage with 🏳️ Mao Fumei. The marriage was not intimate nor romantic, still they gave birth to 🏳️ Chiang Ching-kuo in 1910.

At the time of the 1911 revolution, Chiang was based in 🏳️ Shanghai and at that time and became involved with the local secret societies and gangs who were to aid him later in his career. Like the many Chinese at the time, Chiang was sympathetic to 🏳️ Soviets and their 🏳️ communism, due to the sweet promises that the Soviets made to China that were never kept.

During the "Second Revolution" revolt of 1913 (against the 🏳️ reactionary rule of 🏳️ Yuan Shikai), Chiang led an attack on an arsenal in Shanghai but the operation turned out to be a disastrous failure and Chiang was forced to flee. He attached himself to the entourage of the KMT leader 🏳️ Sun Yat-sen and to the ramshackle 🏳️ Kuomintang government.

Rise and Reign

The 🏳️ right-wing faction of the 🏳️ Kuomintang (KMT) was officially formed following the purge of 🏳️ communists and 🏳️ communist sympathizers within the party in 1927, an event known as the "🏳️ Shanghai Massacre", which marked the beginning of the "White Terror". Chiang knew the communists were not trustworthy, and when 🏳️ China is weak the communists will try to take over like they did with 🏳️ Russia. This worry was not without reason, as a lot of spies from the 🏳️ Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have been implemented in the Kuomintang, aiming to push and do bad decisions, leak plans, and bring down the KMT's reputation among the people. The primary targets of this 🏳️ anti-communist purge were those who advocated for the 🏳️ Soviet model of communist government, including figures like 🏳️ Wang Ming and 🏳️ Mao Tse-tung from the CCP, as well as 🏳️ left-wing members of the KMT. The Shanghai Massacre and subsequent anti-communist campaigns across China resulted in the deaths of an estimated 40,000 to 300,000 communist-affiliated political dissidents, brought the CCP close to extinction, and started the Chinese Civil War.

In 1927, Chiang married 🏳️ Soong Mei-ling. In 1930, the cavalry troops of the warlord 🏳️ Feng Yuxiang made a surprise strike to Chiang's headquarters, but failed to find Chiang himself. He was hiding in a train carriage, praying to 🏳️ Jesus: "My Lord, display your divine power. If you protect me and help me escape tonight, I will convert to 🏳️ Christianity." He finally escaped that night, and later that year, he went to a church in 🏳️ Shanghai to receive baptism. He converted to 🏳️ Methodism, the denomination of his wife, and it was thought to be a political move but it didn't really have any benefits of this sort, plus Chiang has expressed his devotion towards Christ.

A period of prosperity and modernization was experienced in China during the 🏳️ Nanking decade with the modernization of infrastructure and a focus on light industries such as the cotton industry, airlines, highways, and factories. China also had increased education, with schools built nationwide under nationalist rule. Chiang was especially found of 🏳️ intellectuals, not persecuting the and even inviting them over for tea. However, the achievement was somewhat limited as the 🏳️ nationalists only had limited control over the country, with 🏳️ warlords having de facto control over most parts of China, plus there was a small but raging communist rebellion. Periodical regional famines continued throughout China. The political tutelage stage was scheduled to end in 1937 with 🏳️ Sun's ideal of 🏳️ constitutional 🏳️ democracy to be implemented. But the process was delayed till the 1940s due to the upcoming 🏳️ Sino-Japanese 🏳️ War.

In 1947, a notorious incident occurred. It was known as the "228 Incident", with atrocities committed by the 🏳️ nationalist government, although the 🏳️ Fujian Governor 🏳️ Chen Yi, responsible for mishandling this incident, was later executed for committing espionage.

🏳️ Chiang was focused on killing 🏳️ commies, and decided that he needs to focus on eliminating crisis within before the crisis without, like 🏳️ Japan. But his own generals kidnapped him and forced him to work with 🏳️ Mao in order to prevent Japan from taking over. It was later found that the generals that kidnapped him were puppeted by the CCP, and the CCP initially wanted to kill Chiang, but USSR forced them to work together. While Chiang's forces fought, the CCP used this to their advantage, pretending to fight while growing their army. Chiang also flooded the 🏳️ Yellow River in an attempt to halt the Japanese invasion in June 1938, killing lots of his own people in the process. After the war, Chiang's forces were greatly weakened. Chiang fled to the island of 🏳️ Formosa (Taiwan) after getting defeated by Mao Zedong's army.

At Taiwan

After retreating to 🏳️ Taiwan, Chiang learned from his mistakes and failures in the mainland and blamed them for failing to pursue 🏳️ Sun Yat-sen's ideals of 🏳️ Tridemism. Chiang's 🏳️ land reform more than doubled the land ownership of Taiwanese farmers. It removed the rent burdens on them, with former land owners using the government compensation to become the new 🏳️ capitalist class. He promoted a 🏳️ mixed economy of state and private ownership with economic planning. Chiang also promoted a 9-years free 🏳️ education and the importance of 🏳️ science in Taiwanese education and values. These measures generated great success with consistent and strong growth and the stabilization of inflation.

But, Chiang favoured the 🏳️ Han Chinese over the 🏳️ indigenous peoples of Taiwan. Chiang also continued the White Terror, brutally suppressing 🏳️ dissent, with the addition of forced assimilation and political repression of the 🏳️ indigenous peoples.

Chiangism was largely diminished in Mainland China by the Campaign to Suppress Counterrevolutionaries (1950-1953) conducted by the 🏳️ communists, and after Chiang's death in 1975, Chiangism became less influential. Taiwan 🏳️ democratized and a lot of modern 🏳️ progressives began vandalizing his statues.

Beliefs

Chinese Nationalism

Chiang Kai-shek emphasized the importance of Chinese 🏳️ nationalism, advocating for a strong, unified state. He believed in the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China, staunchly opposing both 🏳️ Japanese imperialism and 🏳️ communist insurgencies. His opposition to Japanese imperialism was most evident during the Second Sino-Japanese War, where he rallied Chinese forces and sought international support to resist 🏳️ Japan's advances. Similarly, his hostility toward communist insurgencies stemmed from his belief that they threatened the vision of a 🏳️ centralized, 🏳️ nationalist state.

Authoritarian Conservatism

Chiangist Thought is a 🏳️ conservative interpretation of 🏳️ Tridemism. Chiangism is more 🏳️ socially conservative, 🏳️ authoritarian, 🏳️ Confucianist and 🏳️ anti-communist than the 🏳️ original Tridemism. Chiangism is also more 🏳️ anti-Japanese than the original Tridemism, however, after WW2, the relationship between 🏳️ Japan and 🏳️ Chiang's Island (after his regime fled to 🏳️ Taiwan in the late 1940s) warmed up again due to shared interests, anti-communism, and conservative ideological alignment.

Unlike 🏳️ Sun's original Tridemist ideology that was heavily influenced by Western 🏳️ enlightenment theorists, the traditional Chinese 🏳️ Confucianism plus 🏳️ Christianity brought upon by his 🏳️ wife had much more influence on Chiang's ideology. Chiang rejected the Western 🏳️ progressive ideologies of 🏳️ individualism, 🏳️ liberalism, and 🏳️ Marxism. Chiang Kai-shek was a proponent of Confucian values, integrating them into his governance philosophy. He emphasized traditional Chinese values such as filial piety, social harmony, and 🏳️ moral integrity, seeking to cultivate a sense of national identity rooted in China's cultural heritage.

Chiangism endorses and uses a 🏳️ centralized and 🏳️ authoritarian form of governance. Chiang Kai-shek maintained strict control over political affairs, prioritizing order and stability over 🏳️ democratic freedoms. The government under Chiang was characterized by his 🏳️ militaristic and hierarchical structure, with a strong emphasis on loyalty and discipline.

Authoritarian Capitalism

Chiangism supports economic modernization and development, guided by 🏳️ state intervention and planning. Contrary to the popular belief that he was 🏳️ pro-capitalist from the start, Chiang Kai-shek behaved in an antagonistic manner to the capitalists of 🏳️ Shanghai, often attacking them and confiscating their capital and assets for the use of the government, even while he was fighting the 🏳️ communists. Chiang crushed pro-communist worker and peasant organizations and the rich Shanghai capitalists at the same time. Chiang continued 🏳️ Sun's 🏳️ anti-capitalist ideology; 🏳️ Kuomintang media openly attacked the capitalists and capitalism, demanding government-controlled industry instead. Chiang Kai-shek aimed to industrialize China, improve infrastructure, and modernize the economy, though his policies were less successful on the mainland compared to 🏳️ post-war Taiwan.

After the government of the Republic of China moved to Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek's economic policy turned towards to 🏳️ capitalism, more specifically 🏳️ Authoritarian Capitalism. He used 🏳️ Sho-Chieh Tsiang and other liberal economists to promote economic liberalization 🏳️ reforms in Taiwan.

Militarism

Chiangism places a strong emphasis on 🏳️ military strength and preparedness. He believed that a robust military was essential for defending the nation against external threats and internal instability. His leadership focused on building and maintaining a powerful and disciplined armed forces.

Relations to Communism

A important core tenet of Chiangism is his vehement opposition to 🏳️ communism. Chiang Kai-shek viewed the 🏳️ Chinese Communist Party as a dire threat to China's unity and 🏳️ traditional values. His leadership was marked by an ongoing civil war against the CCP, and his administration implemented numerous measures to suppress communist influence and activities. However, this wasn't always the case.

In the West, Chiang Kai-shek was once hailed as one of the 🏳️ world's greatest 🏳️ socialist leaders. His portraits were carried along with portraits of 🏳️ Karl Marx, 🏳️ Vladimir Lenin, 🏳️ Joseph Stalin, and other socialist and 🏳️ communist leaders. That was until the 🏳️ Shanghai Massacre of 1927 when Chiang turned out to be strongly 🏳️ anti-communist.

Like many of the Chinese such as 🏳️ Sun Yat-sen, Chiang was sympathetic towards the 🏳️ Soviets, at least early on. This is because of all the support the Soviets promised in the May 4th movement. Even after that, the Soviets still tried to steer Chiang towards communism, refusing to let the 🏳️ CCP kill him when captured and offering help only if he allies with the Communists.

Criticism

Chiang's detractors denounce him as an 🏳️ incompetent 🏳️ tyrant, and often accuse him of being a 🏳️ fascist dictator who violently suppressed and massacred 🏳️ dissents with white terror and flooded the 🏳️ Yellow River which killed hundreds of thousands and subsequently caused the 🏳️ Henan Famine (even though it was done to resist 🏳️ Japan's 🏳️ colonization and 🏳️ genocide against China). Detractors also criticize his government's 🏳️ Kleptocracy (even if he did not involve in corruption personally) and the massacre of Taiwanese dissidents during the 🏳️ 228 Massacre.

Quotes

“”If when I die, I am still a 🏳️ dictator, I will certainly go down into the oblivion of all dictators. If, on the other hand, I succeed in establishing a truly stable foundation for a 🏳️ democratic government, I will live forever in every home in 🀄️ China.
— 🏳️ Chaing Kai-shek
“”We pledge our lives to fight to the bitter end against the rat 🏳️ Mao and his band of 🏳️ communist bandits. The enemy of the world, the enemy of the people, the culprit of every problem. No matter how difficult and how low the odds, we will not rest until the thief Mao and his communist bandits are eradicated once and for all. Retake the mainland, reunite the 🏳️ Republic of China, and restore its glory. This is the only solution to end the chaos and suffering in the mainland, and ensure it will never happen again! Fully implement the 🏳️ Three Principle of the People in the entire Chinese nation and begin a new prosperous era!
— 🏳️ Chaing Kai-shek
“”The 🏳️ Japanese, the traitor 🏳️ Wang Jingwei, and the 🏳️ Communists are all our enemies. The Japanese and Wang Jingwei are absolute enemies. The Communists are dispersed between 🏳️ their units and 🏳️ ours. They are even more difficult to deal with.
— Advisor to 🏳️ Chiang Kai-shek, 1940[2]
“”🏳️ War is not only a matter of equipment, artillery, group troops or air force; it is largely a matter of spirit or morale.
— 🏳️ Chiang Kai-shek
