...that he ruled for just over 20 years. All his life, the lean and ambitious soldier fought bravely, though in the end vainly, to shape history to his personal specifications. When he died of a heart attack last week at the age of 87 in his exile capital of Taipei, he was still clinging to the sacred fiction that it was he and nobody else who was the legitimate father of all of modern China. His death could hardly have been more dramatically timed. To Chiang, the rout of anti-Communist forces in Indochina must have seemed the inevitable continuation...
...dismay and anxiety on Taiwan. Since then, U.S.-Taiwan relations have stabilized; they are courteous, if not quite so close as before. For his part, Chiang Ching-kuo is relieved that Washington shows no present inclination to meet Peking's demand that the U.S. sever diplomatic ties with Taipei...
...Taipei claims that Wang is one of 10,000 secret agents on the mainland involved in such activities as sabotaging production, forming secret anti-Peking cells, and passing copied documents on to Taiwan's couriers.

A major area for contacting potential spies is Yunnan province in China's far Southwest, near the "Golden Triangle" of Burma, Thailand and Laos, where remnants of a Kuomintang army have operated since the end of World...
...results are trustworthy. In fact, some "intelligence" about mainland activities published by Taiwan so perfectly fits its anti-Communist propaganda that it might have been manufactured by imaginative p.r. agents in Taipei. Stiil, Peking considers Taiwan's espionage serious enough to issue periodic warnings about the presence of spies. Recently Canton radio reported sabotage by a "scoundrel" in a gas plant and chastised the factory's deputy director for his lack of vigilance. Some visitors to China have been taken to prisons where they have seen "counterrevolutionaries" and other "enemies of the people"-many of them, presumably, guilty...
