Chiangism

It was influenced by other political ideologies, including socialism, fascism, party-state capitalism and paternalistic conservatism, as well as by Chiang's Methodist Christian beliefs.

Chiangism was largely diminished in Mainland China by the Campaign to Suppress Counterrevolutionaries of the communists and began to wane at the start of democratization in Taiwan.

Despite earlier alliance, Chiang Kai-shek would soon be an enemy of the CCP in the Chinese Civil War following the Shanghai Massacre as he turned into a staunch anti-communist.

Eventually, Chiang would lose the civil war to the CCP under the leadership of Mao Zedong, and the ideology of Maoism prevailed in Mainland China.

During the Nanjing Decade, average Chinese citizens received the education they'd never had the chance to get in the dynasties that increased the literacy rate across China.

The education also promotes the ideals of Tridemism of democracy, republicanism, science, constitutionalism, and Chinese Nationalism based on the Political Tutelage of the Kuomintang.

[11][12] Constitutional rights of freedom of speech, assembly, religious expression, and legal guarantees of fair trials were suspended under martial law.

[15][16][17] Chiang promoted strong Chinese nationalism throughout the territories controlled by the ROC as well as the Tridemist ideal of a unified "Dang Guo" (Party-state).

[13] Contrary to the view that he was pro-capitalist, Chiang Kai-shek behaved in an antagonistic manner to the capitalists in China, often attacking them and confiscating their capital and assets for the use of the government.

Historian Jay Taylor has noted that Chiang's hybrid revolutionary nationalism ideology is inspired by both the French republican movement and Confucianism.

[25][26] Historian Jeffrey Crean notes, however, that the Blue Shirts impacted only elite politics, not the vast majority of China's population.

[31][32] The Sino-German relationship also rapidly deteriorated as Germany failed to pursue a détente between China and Japan, which led to the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War.

[30] The Chiangist economic model can be seen as a form of dirigisme or bureaucratic capitalism,[35][36] with the state playing a crucial role in directing the market economy.

Unlike most other major capitalist countries, small businesses and state-owned enterprises flourished under this economic model in Taiwan, but it didn't see the emergence of corporate monopolies.
