Despatch No. 512 from American Embassy Taipei to the Department of State, 'Discussion of Chiang Ching-kuo and the Resignation of Governor K.C. Wu with Foreign Minister George Yeh'

This document was made possible with support from Chun & Jane Chiu Family Foundation

Covers discussions with Foreign Minister George Yeh regarding Chiang Ching-kuo’s role and the resignation of Governor K.C. Wu. Yeh described Chiang's political position as primarily serving under his father’s direction rather than independently amassing power, while the resignation of Governor Wu was attributed to conflicts within Taiwan’s government structure, which Yeh suggested could ease if Wu were replaced or reassigned​.
