In Blue Shirts Society article, Dai Li is mentioned as "Beria of China"; here he is "Himmler of China". Some kind of unification would be appreciated. --Oop 17:22, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"In Free China [during WW2] some 2,500 to 3000 Americans served under [U.S. Naval Commander Milton] Miles. Some assisted Tai Li's [sic] anti-communist program of assasination, poisoning, imprisonment and suppression. Top-level U.S. Navy support of Miles, time after time, thwarted Stilwell's efforts to get his operation under control. Miles felt a 'magnetic attraction to Tai Li' . . . . Miles, according to his critics, participated in mass trials conducted by Tai Li, after which political prisoners were buried alive." -John K. Fairbank, 1985 Introduction to "Stillwell and the American Experience in China, 1911-1945 by Barbara Tuchman (1971).

Is it just me or does it seem like that portrait of Dai Li has been shopped?

Airbrushed, a very common method of touching up photos.

On a different note, isn't it rumored that Dai Li's death was arranged by Chiang Kai-shek himself, because he felt threatened by the spy chief's power? What's an "OSS" anyway? Hackers on steroids (talk) 06:29, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Would make a great TV show

Something like Boardwalk empire, sort of nearly accurate. Sell the storyboards as manga 31.185.158.4 (talk) 08:11, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
