Taiwan downgrades Chiang Kai-shek’s mausoleum to ‘camp area’ as it grapples with legacy

Chiang Kai-shek’s mausoleum has officially been consigned to history, with Taiwan’s military reclassifying the site in the city of Taoyuan as a “camp area” – the latest move by the island’s independence-leaning authorities to erase the legacy of the former Kuomintang (KMT) leader.

The mausoleum of Chiang’s son and successor, Chiang Ching-kuo, located just 2.2km (1.4 miles) from his father’s tomb, was also reclassified, according to a notice issued by the island’s defence ministry on April 22.
