Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of American gift of gold to China was truly monumental. It is also remarkable that details of the American gift of gold in its movement and its role in the Chinese Civil War described in this book were not forever lost to history, because many of them only exist within the pages of the Author's Father's diaries and in the memories of a handful of people with personal knowledge of the events. A loss of this historical record would rob the Chinese people of a significant component of their cultural heritage, and obfuscate the actions and true intent of the Chinese political factions and the United States in the creation of what would become the People's Republic of China and Taiwan (Republic of China), one nation with two separate governments. Considering the time we live in today, these events are of astounding historical relevance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The existence of two Chinese states—one controlling mainland China, the other controlling the island of Taiwan—is often understood as a seemingly inevitable outcome of the Chinese civil war. Defeated by Mao Zedong, Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalists fled to Taiwan to establish a rival state, thereby creating the “Two Chinas” dilemma that vexes international diplomacy to this day. Accidental State challenges this conventional narrative to offer a new perspective on the founding of modern Taiwan. Hsiao-ting Lin marshals extensive research in recently declassified archives to show that the creation of a Taiwanese state in the early 1950s owed more to serendipity than careful geostrategic planning. It was the cumulative outcome of ad hoc half-measures and imperfect compromises, particularly when it came to the Nationalists’ often contentious relationship with the United States. Taiwan’s political status was fraught from the start. The island had been formally ceded to Japan after the First Sino-Japanese War, and during World War II the Allies promised Chiang that Taiwan would revert to Chinese rule after Japan’s defeat. But as the Chinese civil war turned against the Nationalists, U.S. policymakers reassessed the wisdom of backing Chiang. The idea of placing Taiwan under United Nations trusteeship gained traction. Cold War realities, and the fear of Taiwan falling into Communist hands, led Washington to recalibrate U.S. policy. Yet American support of a Taiwan-based Republic of China remained ambivalent, and Taiwan had to eke out a place for itself in international affairs as a de facto, if not fully sovereign, state.
