His great power in China is built on modern chain stores, banks, cotton mills, and mining, a supermodern political machine, and a skillful playing of the ancient Chinese game of family politics. Himself the direct descendant of Confucius (75th generation), Dr. Kung married the eldest of the three famed Soong sisters. At once he thus became the brother-in-law of China's late, sainted Sun Yatsen, of Chiang Kaishek, and of T. V. Soong...
