Chiang Wei-kuo
In summation, although the period of Sino-German co-operation spanned only a short period of time, and much of its success was destroyed in the war with Japan, it had some lasting effect on China's modernisation. After the Kuomintang was defeated during the Chinese Civil War, it relocated to Taiwan. Many government officials of the Republic of China on Taiwan were trained in Germany, such as Chiang's own adopted son, Chiang Wei-kuo. Much of Taiwan's rapid postwar industrialisation can be attributed to the plans and the goals laid down in the 1936 Three-Year Plan.
