Chiang documents ruling upheld by the High Court

The diaries and papers of Chiang Kai-shek (蔣介石) and Chiang Ching-kuo (蔣經國) written during their presidencies belong to the state, while other items from the years when they were not president belong to their inheritors, the High Court said yesterday, upholding the ruling of a local court.
The decision can be appealed.
In 1962, Chiang Kai-shek began transferring his diaries and presidential documents to Chiang Ching-kuo, who handed them and his own diaries from 1938 to 1979 to his third son, Chiang Hsiao-yung (蔣孝勇).
Chiang Hsiao-yung made microforms of the collection, which he gave to his wife, Chiang Fang Chih-yi (蔣方智怡), for safekeeping.
