In his political ideology, what did Hu consider the Nationalist Government was betraying?

  • The Ideal of Constitutionalism

  • Economic Progress

  • Traditional Values

  • Military Strength

Answer

The Nationalist Government under Chiang Kai-shek, according to Hu, betrayed the ideal of constitutionalism, a principle Hu held as sacrosanct. Chiang's authoritarian rule and suppression of dissent deviated from the democratic foundations constitutionalism sought to establish, leading Hu to view the government as forsaking its foundational ideals.
