Chiang family

The Chiang family is a political family of the Republic of China (ROC), a polity based on the Chinese mainland from 1912 to 1949 and on Taiwan since 1949. Other than serving as the head of state of the ROC, Chiang family members have also held key leadership positions in the ROC government and Kuomintang.

Origin

The Chiang family ancestral home is in Heqiao (和橋鎮), a town in Yixing, Jiangsu, about 38 km (24 mi) southwest of central Wuxi and 10 km (6.2 mi) from the shores of Lake Tai. Eventually the clan settled in Chiang was born in Xikou, a town in Fenghua, Zhejiang, about 30 kilometers (19 mi) west of central Ningbo, where Chiang Kai-shek was born.

gollark: Excellent, guess I'll consider using that.
gollark: I was looking at it, but since I think the backend is closed source I currently just operate a somewhat accursed Wireguard network with routing.
gollark: I feel mostly safe due to having been (partly, at least) vaccinated and being young enough to not be at significant risk anyway.
gollark: Governments have also recently rather liked doing/trying to do plausibly-deniable things which make end to end encryption impractical for people, so the objection of not being able to see or filter the content would probably not work very well.
