before you justify communism. please read some books and then give your opinion. I deem 99.99% ppl don't know exactly what communism means, brainwashed by media , news and Internet. Today the young generation is sad and pathetic , because they are too lazy to to read , investigate and even research on some topics . I feel sad about that. no hope anymore
Wow, if Chiang is the worst one, Mao should be hell right now.
Without Madam Chiang Kaishek, China would be under colonized of Japan now! She saved our country and helped against Communist Chinese invaded Taiwan. Taiwan without Chiang which could ruled under communists and damned by Culture Revolution!
Wondered if any research has been conducted on documenting the support of prominent Chinese Americans during that time in support of Madame Chiang Kai-shek. Anna May Wong's efforts are known, but there were other Chinese Americans who were fluent in English and Cantonese with influence such as James Wong Howe (award-winning cinematographer in Hollywood), Jun Bing Mar (prominent nightclub-restaurant owner), Ng Poon Chew (speaker) and others.
It is always fascinating to hear the comments of people giving their opinions of a time of longstanding historical impact that they know little of - good and bad. Emotions still cloud the relative merits (good and bad) of actions taken.
All of the Soong Sisters (all married to important men in history) were well educated because of their education at Wellesley College and social status.
Chiang Kai-Shek couldn't even manage his own bedroom, how could he be expected to manage a big country like China ? No wonder CKS and his KMT troops got their asses kicked so badly by the IJA.
Madame Chiang struck a chord with American audiences as she traveled across the country, starting in the 1930's, raising money and lobbying(籌募金錢和進行游說) for support of her husband's government. She seemed to many Americans to be the very symbol of the modern, educated, pro-American China they yearned to see emerge — even as many Chinese dismissed her as a corrupt, power-hungry symbolof the past they wanted to escape.(即使當許多中國人都將她視為, 如過去封建時代他們想要掙脫的那種腐敗, 權力貪婪的象徵而摒棄她.)
「他們是賊，她們每一個人都是賊。」杜魯門指的是國民政府的領導人，「他們從我們送給蔣政府的上十億美金裡，偷取了將近七億五千萬美金。他們偷了這筆錢，而且將這筆錢投資在巴西的聖保羅，以及就在這裡，紐約的房地產。」"They're thieves, every damn one of them," Truman said later, referring to Nationalist leaders. "They stole $750 million out of the billions that we sent to Chiang. They stole it, and it's invested in real estate down in São Paolo and some right here in New York."
Eleanor Roosevelt was shocked at her answer when asked at a dinner at the White House how the Chinese government would handle a strike by coal miners. Madame Chiang silently drew a sharp fingernail across her neck.
"She can talk beautifully about democracy," Mrs. Roosevelt said later. "But she does not know how to live democracy."「她可以把民主談得很漂亮，但是，她不知道如何生活在民主政治裡。」羅斯福女士事後說。
@lunneke666 Madam Chiang was a big liar too. During the same trip in the US, she gave speeches & fabricated the so called Japanese atrocities. China would be better off without a drama queen like her.
@TheSalmonfan If you have any pride at all, stop calling other people liars. I find there are many japanese like you who are desperate at twisting the truth. I find you guys despicable. You are giving other people a very bad impression of the japanese.
@TheSalmonfan I am surprised how you (and the war criminals) can just lie like that. It is really beyond me as I cannot understand how shameless one can be to lie like that. Tojo hideki can just stand there in the court, saying "I DID NOTHING WRONG". I guess all japanese are lacking something in their brain, and this enables them to deny anything they do. Well, this is consistent with their atrocities anyways. Japanese are not humans in my opinion.
Her English was better than her Mandarin. She said what the US wanted to hear. I wonder if she wrote it herself. It's funny to me with a southern accent she cast herself as a Chinese visitor.
during her 1943 visit to the usa she had three visits from Joseph Kennedy before she returned to China. She told him she writes all her own speeches and does all her own research. She forgot to make any mention of Roosevelt (the president) in her house of congress speech which is said to have displeased him. Her father sent his 3 daughters to study in USA colleges. She returned to china at 18 and never returned to US until age 46 when she delivered the speech you hear in this recording !
she is so Chinese that she kept calling her husband "Darling" :p
She went to the States when she was very little. I think she finished Wesleyan, so I think she returned to China probably at 21 or something.
Good speech, nonetheless. I am just saying it's a bit overstated to say she is a great women because of the speech. The fundamental message of the speech is very Americanized and expressed values of the US at the time, nothing groundbreaking, especially consider her bg.
@MrReco12 Both Chang and Mao were Evils. I think many Chinese in Mainland China think Mao is great. Understandable. So, China ,,,,,,,,,no excuse for its failure.
Mao did save millions of lives. The rapid population growth and the increased life exptecny shows that hundreads of millions of chinese benefited from his great revolution!
@MrReco12 Its fairly easy to improve mortality statistics after coming out of 30 years of war. And all those millions of people would have never died had they simply implemented the capitalist ideologies China has adopted as of recent history. China should be called Cino as in Communist In Name Only.
@MrReco12 Your figure ( of China's population growth ) is correct ! But it does not change the fact that Mao murdered 80 millions. Famine alone killed over 35 millions.
The biggest mistake CKS made was he didn't surrender to Japan in 1937, 19 millions Chinese lives would have saved.
@TheSlappedJapan And the biggest mistake Japan made was not surrendering to the US on Monday, December 8th 1941 after realising Nagumo missed all the carriers, and her cowardly sneak attack without declaring war had enraged the mightiest industrial power on Earth.
Hmm...industrial hyperpower bearing an historical grudge against Japan. Sounds familiar.
Any true Japanese patriot would campaign to burn Yasukuni and the lying school textbooks and have Kan grovel in apology to avoid Hiroshima v2.0.
@PresidentZod Ms China, Why the hell are you stalking me ? Don't you know it's a crime ? - For cows' sake !
Oh, let me take this opportunity to educate you. The woman on this video, spent many years of her life to pit America and Japan against each other. Out of her spontaneous hatred toward Japanese, she lied about the so-called Japanese atrocities. What a stupid drama queen !
@TheInternedfan "Spontaneous hatred"? You invaded her homeland and commited unspeakable cruelties towards her people!
I guess Chinese are not like Japanese. Only Japs could became "friends" with her "same DNA" US masters only "2 years" after 150,000 Japanese-American citizens were locked up in crowded unhygienic camps, and the first Kentucky Fried Japanese stores opened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Funny how your "friends" never interned German Americans.
@PresidentZod She lied about the so called Japanese cruelties & you've been brainwashed with her lies. But those Japanese Americans are Americans, NOT Japanese. Why don't you GOOGLE 442nd regiment & see how they made the ultimate sacrifices for their country (America) during WW2? It was such a shame that, their freedom & civil liberty were taken away by their own gov't. A pure demonstration of racism!
yes Chinese are not like Japanese..look at the espionage committed by the Chinese Americans.
Just goes to show you how evil yet incompetent Japan's military rulers were in WW II to think with the help of an insane little Austrian corporal they could seriously defeat the might of the US and British Empire to forge their own bloody empire on the corpses of millions of their fellow Asians.
Only a generation living amongst a free, decent people allowed the boys of the 442nd to turn their back on their ancestral homeland and kill it's Nazi allies.
@PresidentZod Soldiers of the 442nd were no difference from other Americans. They were just being treated differently, due to racism. Ancestral homeland? unlike the Chinese culture, such thing plays no role in Japanese culture. A US-born Japanese is 100% American, period. During the entire war, No a single case of sabotage committed by Japanese Americans.
The so called Chinese Americans, on the other hand, have committed mass espionage & other crimes on US soil.
@TheTreasonfan But Japanese intelligence (LOL) used "100% American" ethnic Japanese Hawaiian-born citizens to spy on Pearl Harbor. The bungling Admiral Nagumo ignored several reports from these traitors that the carriers were absent before launching his cowardly sneak attack.
What's worse? Betraying your country's technical secrets, or Japanese "Americans" conspiring with a foreign power to launch a cowardly sneak attack killing thousands of fellow citizens peacefully asleep one Sunday morning?
@PresidentZod You not only have more than fair share of lingustic problems, but also show your intellectual inferiority from time to time. Woman, don't you have shame at all ?
No, those were NOT 'ethnic Japanese Hawaii-born citizens'
They were the agents and COMMISSIONED officers of the IJM. All of them were sent from Japan. Their names, ranks & other info can all be located at Japan' official archives.
No a single case of espionage committed by Japanese Americans as confirmed by US records.
@PresidentZod the Japanese actually declared war on the United States before attacking peral harbor, they sent a telegram to the white house, but the white house did not receive the telegram until pearl harbor was already attacked. dumb whore. and if the japanese were locked up in those camps, then why weren't germans and italians also locked up? if i recalled, german and italian-americans were the only ones who were actively speaking out against the war, both in ww1 and ww2.
@PresidentZod Ms ethnic Chinese of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia then, and Australia now. Now I know why you hate Japanese so much. During the war, when the native Malaysians celebrated for Japanese victory & liberation of their homeland, the ethnic Chinese traitor uncle Toms collaborated with the loser white colonial oppressors in the underground.
My secret identity as a Malaysian Chinese Australian has been exposed to all the world and I'll have to build a new secret lair.
Thus far you've claimed I was "MsChina","Sinexposer" and now "KLpoeple".
Pray tell me, you fucking crazed and deluded bitch, just who are you going to accuse me of secretly being next? Jimmy Hoffa? Ludwig Leichardt? Lord Lucan? Ha ha ha.
P.S. The natives "celebrated for Japanese victory"?
@PresidentZod "just who are you going to accuse me of secretly being next?"
>>> I never accused you of secretly being something anf have no reason of doing so in the future. I'm a scientist & a DNA expert, remember? My job is gathering evidences through clinical experiments on lab mice like you. Have you ever heard of a scientist would accuse someone of secretly being something?
Yes, the natives CELEBRATED FOR THE JAPANESE VICTORY.
@TheRockyfan 10 out of 10 rounds? Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Your "job" consists of "gathering evidenceS"? LOL. "Evidence" is an uncountable noun, you ignorant, stupid and inept Japlish speaking cunt. The plural form of evidence IS evidence.
How could the natives "celebrate for" Japanese victory? You can only celebrate something after it has happened. How could the natives celebrate or commemorate something BEFORE it took place?
Listen, slugger, I think you're getting a little punchy.
@PresidentZod You're still ignorant & stupid. Yes, details within a single piece of of evidence are uncountable..but evidenceS mean many pieces of evidences are being counted one by one. OK?
Another example, 'TRUTH' is uncountable...but truthS mean they're being counted by piece.
'celebrated for Japanese victory' means Japanese victory HAD COME first, then the natives CELEBRATED. Go back to your ESL class.
The definitve Oxford English Dictionary defines "evidence" as a strict form mass count noun while "truth" is not. That is why it is syntactically possible to place the indefinite article (a/an) before the word "truth" (e.g. a truth) but NOT before the word "evidence" (e.g. an evidence). "A" and "an" derive from the Old English word for one (ān). You can have have "one truth" or "truths", but you can not have "one evidence" or "evidences"; only ever "evidence".
@PresidentZod Oxford English dictionary? Oh????? You've to use a copy of dictionary for the sole purpose of spamming here in YT? Surprising ! I guess you're also using that spelling check software, huh? - I need neither of those, ANYTIME!
I've told you what evidences mean..don't make me repeat everything, OK? The same goes to TRUTHS or FACTS.
It's not my responsibilities to teach you the basic English usages anyway. You can't even write an English sentence properly..how can I teach u Japanese?
Thanks for the "lesson". Your quest to rid the world of poor English is admirable, and after your reprimand I'll never dare use monstrous informalities like "real glad" again.
In particular your last post was a shining monument to "proper English" for the ages.
"Oxford [sic: missing definite article: The Oxford] English dictionary? [sic -uncapitalised proper noun: Dictionary]"
"You've to use a copy of dictionary [sic -missing indefinite article: a dictionary] for the..."
@PresidentZod You're even dumber today ! Oxford English dictionary, so what? And no ! It's A copy of dictionary ( find out why by yourself. I'm tired of teaching a mad cow). Only 'real glad' ? what about 'impressed by'?, 'have been'?, 'malnutrition-suffering'?, 'come vs came'?, 'evidences'?, 'one question can't have 2 answers'?....
Oh, don't forget your latest 'show' on the other video - '..living EVIDENTS right in front of your eyes'
"I guess you're also using that spelling [sic -incorrect indefinite article: a spelling] check software, huh? - I need [sic -incorrect punctuation: software, huh? I need] neither of those, ANYTIME! [sic -informal: at any time!]"
"It's not my responsiblities [sic -incorrect plural noun: responsibility] to teach you the basic [sic -unnecessary definite article: to teach you basic] English usages [sic -incorrect plural noun: usage] anyway."
@PresidentZod No, no, no, 'responsibilities' not responsibility - Go ask your ESL teacher please.
'that spelling check software' vs 'a spelling check software' - Indeed both are good. 'that' means that particular software product, while 'a' could mean any type of the spelling check software products out there.
Any further questions? - please ask your ESL teacher.
***your 'living evidents' indicates you have fundamental problems with English usages. You need urgent help.
"You can't even write an English sentence properly..how [sic -incorrect ellipsis form (only 2 periods without a following space) used instead of required colon: sentence properly: how can] can I teach u [sic -informal: you] Japanese?"
And to think all these examples of such unprecedented eloquence couched in strict grammatical form come from just ONE single post!
Truly, all the many evidences [snigger] clearly show you are an English wordsmith without equal.
@PresidentZod You're the one who has fundamental problems with English grammar and basic usages. I'm sure you understand stand what I'm talking about in the bottom of your heart. You need to realize how serious your problems are. Even a 2nd grader probably wouldn't write 'impressed by' or 'living evidents'. Oh, he or she certainly knows what 'have been' means. And even my dog knows a question can have 2 answers.
@PresidentZod Due to my education, you've now fully accepted 'the native celebrated' for the Japanese victory DURING the war. Oh, you not only know the term 'evidences' is so correct, but go on to 'invent' your own English & amuse us with 'LIVING EVIDENTS' - Even my dog says you're funny & deserve a piece of bone for snack.
What the hell do you mean 'LIVING EVIDENTS' btw?
I guess your pimp Daddy was too poor to provide a proper education for you..my sympathy.
I see that you are so fundamentally fuckwitted that I'm going to have to simplify things so that even a retarded graduate from the Iowa Beautician's College can understand them.

"Oxford English dictionary, so what?"
Nouns are words that name a person, animal, place, thing or idea (e.g. Cynthia, warthog, Naha, cunt, stupid). Proper nouns represent a specific person, place or thing and are usually capitalised (eg. Hirohito, Nagasaki, Bushido).
Compound nouns are nouns formed from words joined together (e.g. firestorm, mushroom cloud, surrender ceremony). A proper compound noun represents a specific compound noun which is unique. Like a singular proper noun the words should be capitalised (e.g. Enola Gay, Manhattan Project, Fat Man).
The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is a compound proper noun. There is only one thing with that specific name. Therefore it should be fully capitalised.
"Oxford English dictionary" is as incorrect as "Stanford university".
-
"And no ! It's A copy of dictionary"
An article is a word that precedes a noun. It gives more information about the noun. In English there are only two articles: a and the. "A (or an)" is an indefinite article. That means that the following noun is indefinite or general (e.g. "a retard" means any generic retard such as could be found littering your family tree).
@PresidentZod Dump your oxtail dictionary and listen to what I have to say. Neither you nor your stupid oxtail dictionary can match my kind of lingusitic superiority. NOW listen & listen well with your ears.
It's "a copy of dictionary" NOT "a copy of A dictionary" as the 'a' in front of dictionary makes the whole statement sound very REDUNDANT. You know what REDUNDANT means ?
"The" is a definite article. That means that the following noun is definite or specific. (e.g. "the retard" refers to one particular unique retard such as yourself).
You did not place an article directly before the noun "dictionary". If by "dictionary" you meant a copy of the OED then you should have used the article "the" before the noun dictionary to specifiy you meant that particular dictionary.
If you meant any generic dictionary then you should used the article "a" before the noun dictionary.
You wrote "You've to use a copy of dictionary..." That would only be syntactically correct if it was a proper noun (i.e. you literally meant a copy of a particular unique thing named "Dictionary").
What you wrote literally means: "You've to use any copy of the thing titled Dictionary to...".
You should have written "You've to use a copy of THE dictionary to..." or "You've to use a copy of A dictionary to..." depending on whether you were specifying the OED or not.
-
"No, no, no, 'responsibilities' not responsibility - Go [sic] ask your ESL teacher please."
Can you still remember what nouns are? No? Well, like I said, a noun is a word that names a person, animal, place, thing or idea (e.g. Tojo, rat, Hiroshima, gallows, incompetence).
Even when I totally proved that your use of the word "evidences" was totally incorrect according to it's definition in the OED, you still wouldn't admit the truth but told me to "go ask my ESL teacher".
I suppose the likes of someone like you spouting gibberish in atrocious Japlish knows better than the editors of the OED who compile the definitive lexicon of the English language?
You are 100% fucking out of your gourd, you crazy fucking cunt.
@PresidentZod You're 1) peeing in public again and 2) on drug
The other way around. I'm the one who's proven step by step that why it should have been 'evidenceS'
And I never asked you to go ask your ESL teacher for that. I did however ask you to go ask youe ESL teacher, for something else. What is that something else? - I'm not telling you ! Go check it out by yourself after you're off drug. I'm tire of babysitting you, grandma.
You probably have no idea just how fucking insane you really are. You are so fucking deluded that you're now accusing me of shit that never actually happened.
When have I ever "invented" the phrase "living EVIDENTS" that you've repeated like some wacko mantra in your last four posts?
Where have I ever made any grammatical mistake with the phrase "have been"?
What the fuck are you going on about when you keep mentioning how 'one question can't have 2 answers'?
@PresidentZod Yes you're the one who 'invented' that funny phrase 'living evidents, yes you did ! Don't even try to deny it. Where? on that US Marines video and you're under another fake YT ID "But2Star". And don't tell me it's somebody else, not you.
Remember what I told you a while ago? "Admit what you did, just don't tell me you're an innocent"
Are you dictating what the voices in your head are telling you, or are you now so fucking desperate from the repeated bitchslappings and ridicule that your only recourse is to completely fabricate supposed grammatical errors to accuse me of?
Either way, you are truly one crazy, fucked up and pathetic bitch.
Still, what could we expect from a despised third class Japanese refugee from Okinawa haunting YouTube to deny Japan's well-documented war crimes in broken Japlish?
@PresidentZod I never accused you of anything..you're the one who publicly declared defeat over those lingustic issues not that long ago, still remember where?
Ha ha ha. You're just like the Americans who have never been able to grasp irony. I think your mother served so long in that Okinawan brothel that all the US Marine cum backed up into her brain and genetically influenced her offspring.
"But2Star"? Is that really the best you can come up with?
Have I bitchslapped you so utterly that your only desperate recourse is to accuse me of being someone else and chide me over their grammatical errors?

You originally wrote "DURING the war when the native Malaysians celebrated FOR Japanese victory & liberation of their homeland".
It is improper syntax to use the preposition FOR in that particular phrasal context. Additionally, if the war you were refering to was ongoing ("during") then how could the Malaysians have celebrated victory BEFORE a successful conclusion?
You should have written, "After the war the native Malaysians celebrated THE Japanese victory..."
@PresidentZod The Pacific war technically started on December 8, 1941 and ended in 1945. The Japanese victory in Malaya & Singapore came in 1942 that was DURING the war. The natives did celebrate the Japanese victory during the war. The British POWs were forced to sweep the streets. The natives felt proud of being Asians for the 1st time. After the war, inspired by Japan's gallant fight, the natives fought for their own independence & they won.
@TheSalmonfan You make yourself look like a stupid ass yellow bitch troll with your bogus numbers because you are @TheSalmonfan (aka, Unemployed Jap SHIT-EATER), you even use the same BAD English that Japs are famous for, and laugh at your retarded wit. Then you produce so many posts like the pathetic loser that you are. #LOL
Her heroic plays have caused the war, and many many people have had to die in that War. Did she make any effort not to fall into war? Did she make any effort toward the peace keeping acts? No. Nothing she had done for the peace. And she has claimed many about the wounded’s and the dead’s, caused by that war, that she had requested. I'm not agree with her activities.
Present day, E.Asia is very pathetic indeed, both the media in PRC and Japan are bullshitting history, changing texts to display themselves in a positive light; they are both assholes. Japan should not complain as PRC is their own creation; Mao Tse Tung even came to japan to thank the Japanese PM in give him the opportunity in changing it into a Communist state in the 1970s .
@Balencian Chiang was to blame for China's failure in the war...he was too busy thinking about the communists instead of fighting the Japanese. He refused to let the left wing policies and tax breaks remain in the areas influenced by the communists and he totally lost favour.
Unofrunately, few in the States truly understand the situation in China at that time. Chiang Kai-Shek was only given the spot "Commander in Chief of the United Front" because he commanded the strongest Chinese army in 1937. Yet, this army was nearly annihilated when the Americans entered the war since they took the bulk of fighting in 1937-1941. Hence, by the time, American entered war, Chiang had little power in commanding the other Chinese generals.
I will not deny the fact Chiang was responsible for many of China's military calamities in the war (He played favoritism and gave supplies to corrupted generals as long as they support him, he continue this into the Chinese civil war and it pays). One of the more abled generals during the war was General Sun Li-Jen and his New First Army. They fought with distinction in Burma and South China, but unfortunately caught the bad side of both Mao and Chiang.
Stilwell also noticed some Chinese generals are doing better than others, and simply distributed all the supplies to them. Logical, but this make those generals outcast in their own country. But in order to give himself credits in Burma, he rarely mention about them in his memoirs and simply mentioned the unabled Chinese generals. So without support from U.S or Chiang, they are screwed. In fact, Sun Li-Jen spent 50 years in prison, thanks to some alleged CIA conspiracy.
Awful. Very aggressive and belligerent speech. By her speeches like this, U.S. and Japan have fallen into the war! U.S. , U.K. and Japan had been making efforts to do everything possible to avoid war! Before WW2 in Shanghai, a peace-keeping mission of U.K., who had attempted to hold an conference with Japanese mission on peacekeeping, have been bombarded and seriously wounded , so U.K. and Japan have lost the chance not to fight each other.
This speech is made in 1943, Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941 and U.K definitely want that to happen given that it gave U.S the excuse to join the war on Japan's ally Germany. Back to the topic, the problem with Japan in ww2 is that they started a war on many fronts that they cannot handle. Japanese leaders in ww2 who are in charged such as Sugiyama and Araki thought China could be defeated within months, and America will surrender within a year or two...aDidn't happen.
Japan invaded ROC in a specific time it can't be helped....They knew Republic of China is on the verge of Unification of China. A unified China supported by both Germany and America (ROC had a very good relationships with the two states in the 1930s) will definitely prevented the expansion of Japanese Imperialism In E. Asia.
chrisyang, thank you for uploading this historical speech of Madam Chiang she represented proudly the women of China, she was intelligent, well educated, charismatic and great wife.
Amazing in every respect ! Thank God it's censorship has ended ! 46 years and a ph.d education in the U. S. in two disclipines and I never hear of this speech until today !
A dictator knows for sure how to manipulate an ideology into power grip. The fear of Communism has persuaded Americans to keep an evil party and a selfish politician in spotlight; indeed, it is a crime for all human to allow innocent lives lost due to this ideology. To a party which had no shame of losing its own land and no repentance of innocent bloodshed, it is truly a shame for human in this 21 century to rationalize the cause of Chiang's but wittingly ignore Chiang's corruption.
@lilybradberry Obviously you've been brainwashed by the pro Taiwan independence proproganda and believe all things related to Chaing family is evil. This had nothing to do taking advantage of people's fear of communism. This was about a woman doing everything in her power to save China from the aggression and atrocities of Japanese imperial army. If it wasn't for the Chiang family and Madam Chiang's diplomatic efforts, Taiwan would probably still be under Japanese rule and your parents
@hw711 By your own logic, I can say that you must have been brainwashed by the Pro China propaganda. How can you be so sure that I wouldn't have been here in US without Chiang family's diplomatic efforts? What's wrong with Taiwan under Japanese rule if Chiang's people praised it so much under Japanese rule? As a Taiwanese, you obviously have no sense of Taiwan history to talk about Taiwan. Formosa is a prize for Chiang indeed, and you are no different than any foreigner regarding Taiwan.
@lilybradberry would not have been able to come to the US and provide you with the life you have today. It's sad you let politics blind you. As someone who was born and raised in a democratic Taiwan and was lucky enough to get an education in the US, I think Madam Chiang deserved all the respects and admirations.
A most powerful woman, a devil in Christian disguise, a sweet talk with malicious intent. Didn't she know her husband disband the only winning troop in Chinese civil war and house-arrest the general all his life with the label of "Communism?" There were way too many innocent lives slaughtered under this same tactic; Americans were just blinded by this speech.
Do not speak foolish words publicly, or you will be slighted by others. Madame Chiang was a lady that make mistakes, but those tints can not shadow her greatness in bringing the international recognition that the Government of the Republic of China needed at that time. There were lives that had been mistreated, but under such circumstance, when the communist spies are all around the country, it was the only and best way to protect the realm.
@wyen1988 A dictator knows how to manipulate an ideology into power grip. The fear of Communism has persuaded Americans to keep an evil party in spotlight; indeed, it is a crime for all human to allow innocent lives lost due to this ideology.

Wow! Thanks for posting this audio (and nice collection of photos) of this famous speech! I have seen her in so many photographs and it is exciting to finally be able to link her to her voice. Her charming sophistication is a testament to her privileged life. An iconic figure who out lived her century, I must say, she is so much more interesting than her brutish husband.
Our professor said her English is very good, and she shares this New England accent with FDR. People don't talk like that anymore. Is that true? someone tell me?
What's the difference between a Fascist and a Communist?
The means of production, a.k.a. "power."
Commies want it.
Fascists have it.
The problem is that any Commie who succeeds in their task of obtaining the means of production has, by their own definition, become a Fascist. This means that all Communists are really Fascist wannabes, just like the kids the Fascists have working for them. (excerpt from "Thorstein Veblen: An Introduction")
Is Soong May-ling the one who said the following after the British gave in to the Communist leaders, "...for shame for Britain... ...for a few pieces of silver... ...for that which is morally wrong, can never be politically right!"? Thank you.

Wondered if any research has been conducted on documenting the support of prominent Chinese Americans during that time in support of Madame Chiang Kai-shek. Anna May Wong's efforts are known, but there were other Chinese Americans who were fluent in English and Cantonese with influence such as James Wong Howe (award-winning cinematographer in Hollywood), Jun Bing Mar (prominent nightclub-restaurant owner), Ng Poon Chew (speaker) and others.

It is always fascinating to hear the comments of people giving their opinions of a time of longstanding historical impact that they know little of - good and bad. Emotions still cloud the relative merits (good and bad) of actions taken.
All of the Soong Sisters (all married to important men in history) were well educated because of their education at Wellesley College and social status.

Madame Chiang struck a chord with American audiences as she traveled across the country, starting in the 1930's, raising money and lobbying(籌募金錢和進行游說) for support of her husband's government. She seemed to many Americans to be the very symbol of the modern, educated, pro-American China they yearned to see emerge — even as many Chinese dismissed her as a corrupt, power-hungry symbolof the past they wanted to escape.(即使當許多中國人都將她視為, 如過去封建時代他們想要掙脫的那種腐敗, 權力貪婪的象徵而摒棄她.)

「他們是賊，她們每一個人都是賊。」杜魯門指的是國民政府的領導人，「他們從我們送給蔣政府的上十億美金裡，偷取了將近七億五千萬美金。他們偷了這筆錢，而且將這筆錢投資在巴西的聖保羅，以及就在這裡，紐約的房地產。」"They're thieves, every damn one of them," Truman said later, referring to Nationalist leaders. "They stole $750 million out of the billions that we sent to Chiang. They stole it, and it's invested in real estate down in São Paolo and some right here in New York."

(世界二)戰爭結束前夕，國民 政府的官員們對政府的忠誠已消失殆盡。政府愈來愈貪婪，甚至在財政上叛國，貪得無厭的印鈔票，使得中國對美金的匯率跌到只剩好幾百萬分之一。許多國民政府 的軍隊因沒有薪水而被迫乞討，但是，美國外交官員們發現，從美國送去中國的軍事補給，有時在一抵達中國就出現在黑市上。

第一賊婆--宋美齡
Eleanor Roosevelt was shocked at her answer when asked at a dinner at the White House how the Chinese government would handle a strike by coal miners. Madame Chiang silently drew a sharp fingernail across her neck.
"She can talk beautifully about democracy," Mrs. Roosevelt said later. "But she does not know how to live democracy."「她可以把民主談得很漂亮，但是，她不知道如何生活在民主政治裡。」羅斯福女士事後說。

during her 1943 visit to the usa she had three visits from Joseph Kennedy before she returned to China. She told him she writes all her own speeches and does all her own research. She forgot to make any mention of Roosevelt (the president) in her house of congress speech which is said to have displeased him. Her father sent his 3 daughters to study in USA colleges. She returned to china at 18 and never returned to US until age 46 when she delivered the speech you hear in this recording !

She went to the States when she was very little. I think she finished Wesleyan, so I think she returned to China probably at 21 or something.
Good speech, nonetheless. I am just saying it's a bit overstated to say she is a great women because of the speech. The fundamental message of the speech is very Americanized and expressed values of the US at the time, nothing groundbreaking, especially consider her bg.

@TheIndefiniteSalmon (1/2)
The definitve Oxford English Dictionary defines "evidence" as a strict form mass count noun while "truth" is not. That is why it is syntactically possible to place the indefinite article (a/an) before the word "truth" (e.g. a truth) but NOT before the word "evidence" (e.g. an evidence). "A" and "an" derive from the Old English word for one (ān). You can have have "one truth" or "truths", but you can not have "one evidence" or "evidences"; only ever "evidence".

"Oxford English dictionary, so what?"
Nouns are words that name a person, animal, place, thing or idea (e.g. Cynthia, warthog, Naha, cunt, stupid). Proper nouns represent a specific person, place or thing and are usually capitalised (eg. Hirohito, Nagasaki, Bushido).
PresidentZod 10 months ago
@TheSalmonfan (2/427)
Compound nouns are nouns formed from words joined together (e.g. firestorm, mushroom cloud, surrender ceremony). A proper compound noun represents a specific compound noun which is unique. Like a singular proper noun the words should be capitalised (e.g. Enola Gay, Manhattan Project, Fat Man).
The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is a compound proper noun. There is only one thing with that specific name. Therefore it should be fully capitalised.

"And no ! It's A copy of dictionary"
An article is a word that precedes a noun. It gives more information about the noun. In English there are only two articles: a and the. "A (or an)" is an indefinite article. That means that the following noun is indefinite or general (e.g. "a retard" means any generic retard such as could be found littering your family tree).

"The" is a definite article. That means that the following noun is definite or specific. (e.g. "the retard" refers to one particular unique retard such as yourself).
You did not place an article directly before the noun "dictionary". If by "dictionary" you meant a copy of the OED then you should have used the article "the" before the noun dictionary to specifiy you meant that particular dictionary.

If you meant any generic dictionary then you should used the article "a" before the noun dictionary.

What you wrote literally means: "You've to use any copy of the thing titled Dictionary to...".

You originally wrote "DURING the war when the native Malaysians celebrated FOR Japanese victory & liberation of their homeland".
It is improper syntax to use the preposition FOR in that particular phrasal context. Additionally, if the war you were refering to was ongoing ("during") then how could the Malaysians have celebrated victory BEFORE a successful conclusion?
You should have written, "After the war the native Malaysians celebrated THE Japanese victory..."

@PresidentZod The Pacific war technically started on December 8, 1941 and ended in 1945. The Japanese victory in Malaya & Singapore came in 1942 that was DURING the war. The natives did celebrate the Japanese victory during the war. The British POWs were forced to sweep the streets. The natives felt proud of being Asians for the 1st time. After the war, inspired by Japan's gallant fight, the natives fought for their own independence & they won.

Her heroic plays have caused the war, and many many people have had to die in that War. Did she make any effort not to fall into war? Did she make any effort toward the peace keeping acts? No. Nothing she had done for the peace. And she has claimed many about the wounded’s and the dead’s, caused by that war, that she had requested. I'm not agree with her activities.
But, thank you for your uploading.

Present day, E.Asia is very pathetic indeed, both the media in PRC and Japan are bullshitting history, changing texts to display themselves in a positive light; they are both assholes. Japan should not complain as PRC is their own creation; Mao Tse Tung even came to japan to thank the Japanese PM in give him the opportunity in changing it into a Communist state in the 1970s .

@Balencian Chiang was to blame for China's failure in the war...he was too busy thinking about the communists instead of fighting the Japanese. He refused to let the left wing policies and tax breaks remain in the areas influenced by the communists and he totally lost favour.

Unofrunately, few in the States truly understand the situation in China at that time. Chiang Kai-Shek was only given the spot "Commander in Chief of the United Front" because he commanded the strongest Chinese army in 1937. Yet, this army was nearly annihilated when the Americans entered the war since they took the bulk of fighting in 1937-1941. Hence, by the time, American entered war, Chiang had little power in commanding the other Chinese generals.

I will not deny the fact Chiang was responsible for many of China's military calamities in the war (He played favoritism and gave supplies to corrupted generals as long as they support him, he continue this into the Chinese civil war and it pays). One of the more abled generals during the war was General Sun Li-Jen and his New First Army. They fought with distinction in Burma and South China, but unfortunately caught the bad side of both Mao and Chiang.

Stilwell also noticed some Chinese generals are doing better than others, and simply distributed all the supplies to them. Logical, but this make those generals outcast in their own country. But in order to give himself credits in Burma, he rarely mention about them in his memoirs and simply mentioned the unabled Chinese generals. So without support from U.S or Chiang, they are screwed. In fact, Sun Li-Jen spent 50 years in prison, thanks to some alleged CIA conspiracy.

Awful. Very aggressive and belligerent speech. By her speeches like this, U.S. and Japan have fallen into the war! U.S. , U.K. and Japan had been making efforts to do everything possible to avoid war! Before WW2 in Shanghai, a peace-keeping mission of U.K., who had attempted to hold an conference with Japanese mission on peacekeeping, have been bombarded and seriously wounded , so U.K. and Japan have lost the chance not to fight each other.

This speech is made in 1943, Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941 and U.K definitely want that to happen given that it gave U.S the excuse to join the war on Japan's ally Germany. Back to the topic, the problem with Japan in ww2 is that they started a war on many fronts that they cannot handle. Japanese leaders in ww2 who are in charged such as Sugiyama and Araki thought China could be defeated within months, and America will surrender within a year or two...aDidn't happen.

Japan invaded ROC in a specific time it can't be helped....They knew Republic of China is on the verge of Unification of China. A unified China supported by both Germany and America (ROC had a very good relationships with the two states in the 1930s) will definitely prevented the expansion of Japanese Imperialism In E. Asia.

A dictator knows for sure how to manipulate an ideology into power grip. The fear of Communism has persuaded Americans to keep an evil party and a selfish politician in spotlight; indeed, it is a crime for all human to allow innocent lives lost due to this ideology. To a party which had no shame of losing its own land and no repentance of innocent bloodshed, it is truly a shame for human in this 21 century to rationalize the cause of Chiang's but wittingly ignore Chiang's corruption.

@lilybradberry Obviously you've been brainwashed by the pro Taiwan independence proproganda and believe all things related to Chaing family is evil. This had nothing to do taking advantage of people's fear of communism. This was about a woman doing everything in her power to save China from the aggression and atrocities of Japanese imperial army. If it wasn't for the Chiang family and Madam Chiang's diplomatic efforts, Taiwan would probably still be under Japanese rule and your parents
hw711 1 year ago 2
@hw711 By your own logic, I can say that you must have been brainwashed by the Pro China propaganda. How can you be so sure that I wouldn't have been here in US without Chiang family's diplomatic efforts? What's wrong with Taiwan under Japanese rule if Chiang's people praised it so much under Japanese rule? As a Taiwanese, you obviously have no sense of Taiwan history to talk about Taiwan. Formosa is a prize for Chiang indeed, and you are no different than any foreigner regarding Taiwan.

@lilybradberry would not have been able to come to the US and provide you with the life you have today. It's sad you let politics blind you. As someone who was born and raised in a democratic Taiwan and was lucky enough to get an education in the US, I think Madam Chiang deserved all the respects and admirations.
hw711 1 year ago
A most powerful woman, a devil in Christian disguise, a sweet talk with malicious intent. Didn't she know her husband disband the only winning troop in Chinese civil war and house-arrest the general all his life with the label of "Communism?" There were way too many innocent lives slaughtered under this same tactic; Americans were just blinded by this speech.

@lilybradberry
Do not speak foolish words publicly, or you will be slighted by others. Madame Chiang was a lady that make mistakes, but those tints can not shadow her greatness in bringing the international recognition that the Government of the Republic of China needed at that time. There were lives that had been mistreated, but under such circumstance, when the communist spies are all around the country, it was the only and best way to protect the realm.

现在历史真相已大白于天下。中共在抗战时期坐山观虎斗，让国民党和日寇两败俱伤，自己扩大地盘，生产鸦片，积累钱财，招兵卖马。在战后，抢夺胜利果实，发动内战。在国民党统治区，炸桥梁公路铁路，毁仓库，决堤灞，販卖鸦片，搧动罢工罢课，摧毁经济，一切嫁祸于国民党，然后夺权，推翻孙中山创建的中华民国。狼子之心，昭然如揭。

Her charming sophistication is a testament to her privileged life. An iconic figure who out lived her century, I must say, she is so much more interesting than her brutish husband.

What's the difference between a Fascist and a Communist?
The means of production, a.k.a. "power."
Commies want it.
Fascists have it.
The problem is that any Commie who succeeds in their task of obtaining the means of production has, by their own definition, become a Fascist. This means that all Communists are really Fascist wannabes, just like the kids the Fascists have working for them. (excerpt from "Thorstein Veblen: An Introduction")
