However, when the Kuomintang was on the mainland, there were already problems within the party, and even when it came to Taiwan Province Province, which was relatively safe, the problems remained unsolved. So, soon, the Kuomintang was surging, and all major forces and factions were threatening Chiang Kai-shek's position. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek took a series of political measures to pave the way for his son to further stabilize the regime. He also regards some troubles and finding an agent in the United States as a great threat. Bai Chongxi is the leader of the Gui clan, with many henchmen, and he is easily proud. So Chiang Kai-shek took measures to crowd him out, completely excluded him from the circle, and did not allow him to participate in any political affairs. So when Bai Chongxi was in Taiwan Province Province, he had no real power, almost cut off contact with the outside world, and lived a life of providing for the aged.
So how did Bai Chongxi die? Many people think that he was killed by Chiang Kai-shek, just as Li Zongren is going back to the mainland. Chiang Kai-shek suspected that it had something to do with Bai Chongxi, or thought he had this plan, so he killed him. But this is not the case. His son Bai Xianyong once came out to clarify. He said that the story about his father's death spread among the people is more and more like a spy movie, but in fact, his father died peacefully and calmly because he died of a heart attack.
Bai Xianyong also explained how those unreliable statements spread. He said it was all because of the remarks of a retired spy. He said that he was one of the members of the team that monitored Bai Chongxi and gave a complete account of the whole process of Bai Chongxi's murder. Bai Xianyong said that this is just his fantasy, because his level is completely insufficient, and according to him, poisoning with wine is too crude. If the poison does not die, it will not scare him. He also said that he didn't respond at first because he didn't want to flatter these gossip news, but unexpectedly, this statement became more and more fierce, and various books appeared one after another. He felt it necessary to stand up and tell the truth.
In addition to the logic of these statements is not rigorous, Bai Xianyong also said that Chiang Kai-shek did not need to kill his father, because his father had no real power at that time and did not pose a threat to Chiang Kai-shek. And, most importantly, if his father is murdered, it will cause an uproar. This statement is obviously not true.
