Abstract
The violent upheavals and their aftermaths caused by the Korean War, the Vietnam Wars and local wars in Southeast Asia and the Middle East affected the next four decades of Zhang Xueliang’s life. There was a constant tension between the People’s Republic that had established itself in China and Chiang Kai-shek’s government in Taiwan, which Beijing viewed as a seceding and betraying province. The residents of the island defined it as the Republic of China, the Republic that genuinely reflected the vision of Sun Yatsen, father of the reemerging nation. Communist-ruled mainland China underwent major political and ideological changes. From a formula of ‘leaning to one side’, namely relying on the Soviet Union, the People’s Republic moved to a policy of self-reliance and seeking a new socialist path, whether by the ‘Great Leap Forward’ or by the ‘Great Cultural Revolution’. With the death of the leader Mao Zedong in 1976, China adopted the ‘open door policy’, which in the following decades marked the start of an impressive economic success.KeywordsChinese Communist PartyMing DynastyOpen Door PolicyNationalist PartyChristian PhilosophyThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
