Taiwan Arms Purchase Fraud Case in Early 1950s and Rehabilitation Measures——With Focus on Mao Bangchu Case
The United States,in order to avoid involvement in the civil war between the KMT and the CPC and to avoid direct conflict with the Soviet Union,adopted the policy of abandoning Chiang Kai-shek in 1949 and 1950.Chiang,in order to obtain military assistance from the US,agreed to carry out the secret"Special Technician Program"proposed by the US military.With the implementation of this program,the struggle for power and interests between Zhou Zhirou and Mao Bang-chu within the KMT Air Force was made public and became intensified,and the arms purchase fraud case in the KMT armed forces was also exposed.While investigating the fraud case of the"Air Force Office in US"headed by Mao Bangchu,the KMT authorities reconstructed the purchasing channel mechanism from the US military and further strengthened its ruling foundation in Taiwan.Nevertheless,the dependence of the Taiwan authorities on the United States made it impossible for Taiwan to remain independent in its relationship with the US,and it was difficult for Taiwan to break away from the control of the US.
