No record Soong Mayling paid bribes to US: Chien

No official records could prove the late Soong Mayling (宋美齡) bribed then US president Franklin Roosevelt to side with China against Japan during World War II, Minister of Foreign Affairs Eugene Chien (簡又新) said yesterday.

On Saturday, former president Lee Teng-hui (李登輝) alleged that Soong, also known as Madame Chiang Kai-shek, had paid large amounts of money to Roosevelt's relatives when she toured the US lobbying for aid for China.

I'm sure she did! This is Mainland China's culture.

1. bribery

you have no facts to back up your opinion, but the facts do say this, FDR was a extremely wealthy man, he would not benefit from taking a bribe as he already had as much money as he knew what do to with.

also the fact say that FDR backed china over japan, because japan was an imperialist power trying to conquer an independent, if corrupt, nation.
Japan had eyes on ruling all the pacific nations, which threatened our interests, even before pearl harbor.

2. Agreed

A rich man (and an honest one) wouldn't need a bribe to continue the policy the US had set previously anyway! No Roosevelt scholar would give such a silly idea even a second thought.

3. Edit: 'I'm sure she tried'. If you say bribing is not a way of life in

China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Philippines, Cambodia, India, Pakistan... then then then go visit and you'll see the truth.

'Hong Bow' = 'Red Envelope' = way of life in Asia

It was like that in Japan and Korea for hundreds of years. I've heard it's changed a little there but can't say for sure but I'm sure on the other countries.
