According to Taiwan's "China Times News Network" on July 20th, the dispute over the ownership of 51 boxes of documents stored by Chiang Kai shek and Chiang Ching kuo at Stanford University for nearly 18 years has finally settled after a 10-year dispute. The United States District Court located in San Jose, California, determined on July 11 that ownership of the document belongs to the National History Museum in Taiwan.

Chen Yishen, the director of the National History Museum, stated on the 19th that someone has been sent to the United States to conduct an inventory and can be transported back in the second half of the year. The diary content of Chiang Kai shek from 1948 to 1954 is expected to be published by the end of October.

According to reports, these 51 boxes of documents document the most eye-catching international political events and diplomatic insider information of the last century. However, who should own these historically valuable documents has been at the core of the legal dispute between the Taiwan authorities, the Chiang family, and the Hoover Institution at Stanford University over the past decade.

The Stanford archives include the diaries of Chiang Kai shek from 1917 to 1972, the diaries of Chiang Ching kuo from 1937 to 1979, as well as speeches, letters, and political archives of the two during their tenure.

According to reports, Lin Xiaoting, a researcher at the Hoover Institution, pointed out that these archives provide information on important events, including the 1971 United Nations war for Chinese representation, as well as many political insider information, such as Chiang Kai shek's correspondence with former US presidents Kennedy and Nixon.

According to reports, the US District Court located in San Jose resolved a 10-year legal lawsuit involving 15 members of the Chiang family and relevant institutions of the Taiwan authorities on the 11th. With a series of judgments and settlement agreements, it was determined that the ownership of these documents belongs to the Taiwan National History Museum.

According to reports, these archives were loaned to the Hoover Institution by Jiang Jingguo's daughter-in-law, Jiang Fangzhi, in 2005. She authorized the institution to provide copies of the documents to interested scholars, and she and six other members of the Jiang family subsequently signed a consent letter to transfer ownership to the National History Museum. However, later on, Jiang Youmei, the granddaughter of Jiang Jingguo, advocated that these diaries should be kept at the Jiang family and not handed over to the National History Museum.

The report stated that the Hoover Institution, with academic considerations as the main starting point, filed a civil lawsuit against all parties claiming and potentially possessing cultural relics in September 2013.The US District Court also recognized this ruling.

According to reports, members of the Jiang family have gradually reached a settlement with the "National History Museum" to transfer ownership. In May of this year, Jiang Youmei became the last member of the Jiang family to agree.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
