Abstract

Chiang Kai-shek (1887-1975) has been one of the most controversial figures in Modern China since the early-1940s. One of the key issues in the controversy is whether Chiang paid more attention to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) than to the Japanese during China’s war of resistance. This article attempts to answer this question through statistical analyzes of Chiang’s wartime diaries. Together with the question are Chiang’s considerations behind his critical decisions that would finally collapse the Republican China in 1949. The article demonstrates that the CCP received far less attention from Chiang than the issue of finance, let alone other issues. The times that the CCP received Chiang’s extraordinary attention was when it was conducting provoking operations against the Nationalist government.

蒋介石担心什么？蒋介石战时日记调查与分析

自20世纪40年代初以来，蒋介石(1887-1975)一直是现代中国最具争议的人物之一。争论的关键问题之一是，在中国抗战期间，蒋介石是否更关注中国共产党而不是日本人。本文试图通过对蒋介石战时日记的统计分析来回答这个问题。与这个问题一起出现的是蒋介石在他的关键决定背后的考虑，这些决定最终导致了1949年中华民国的崩溃。文章表明，比起财政问题，蒋介石对中共的关注要少得多，更不用说其他问题了。中共受到蒋介石特别关注的时候，是它对国民政府采取挑衅行动的时候。
