Page "Chiang Kai-shek" Paragraph 53

Chiang's right hand man, the secret police Chief Dai Li, was both anti-American and anti-Communist.

Dai ordered Kuomintang agents to spy on American officers.

Earlier, Dai had been involved with the Blue Shirts Society, a fascist-inspired paramilitary group within the Kuomintang, which wanted to expel Western and Japanese imperialists, crush the Communists, and eliminate feudalism.

Dai Li died in a plane crash, which was suspected to be an assassination orchestrated by either the American OSS or the communists.
