After his defeat in the Chinese Civil War and the retreat to Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek strengthened his party leadership by reforming the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and implemented authoritarian rule in Taiwan. Under Chiang Kai-shek’s arrangement, his son Chiang Ching-kuo took over various intelligence and security agencies, including the Political Action Committee, Documents Section of the Presidential Office’s Department of Special Affairs, and the National Security Bureau, becoming the head of all intelligence and security units in Taiwan. Under the KMT’s political system of“party-led governance”and“party-led military”, the files signed and approved by Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo, the supreme leaders of the ruling party, are essential historical materials that revealed the process of shaping national policies. Therefore, this paper focuses on the files signed and approved by Chiang Ching-kuo that are currently used by fewer scholars, to explore how the state security and intelligence systems were utilized for societal surveillance and the suppression of democracy under his rule, as well as attempt to reconstruct his role under the authoritarian rule in the postwar era. |
