On May 2 of the same year, Chiang Ching-kuo sent a telegram from the Presidential Office to Chiang Soong Mei-ling in New York, reporting that Sun Yunying, the President of the Executive Committee, was in a state of illness.

After repeated consideration of the candidates for the chief executive, Yu Guohua was the most suitable candidate for the selection of three or four senior KMT candidates based on factors such as age, health, talent, loyalty, and popularity.

Chiang Ching-kuo mentioned in the telegram that although Yu Guohua's hometown and origin are "slightly close" to him, but because he served as Minister of Finance and President of the Central Bank when Sun Yunying was the Executive President, he is an important financial policy backbone of Sun Yunying's cabinet. , has been tested in the financial and economic construction for a long time.

Jiang Jingguo believes that Yu Guohua is also better than other candidates in terms of foreign popularity and interpersonal relationships.

In particular, Yu Guohua's "long-term understanding of his father and mother's revolutionary aspirations" is especially unmatched by other candidates.

After intensive consultation with the "old comrades", everyone felt that the "concept of the north and the south of the mainland" has become weak, and the legislators and ordinary people should not have any concerns about Yu Guohua's personnel case.

The Party Property Council questioned that when President Chiang Ching-kuo was exercising his important constitutional authority to nominate the successor of the Executive Director, the person he reported was actually Chiang Soong Mei-ling, who did not hold any public office status and at best was the chairman of the Kuomintang Central Review Committee.

From these two telegrams, we can see that the operation of state affairs should follow the liberal democratic constitutional order formed by the Constitution, relevant regulations and interpretations. However, in practical operation, it still has a strong color of authoritarian rule of man and party rule.

In 1984, the then-president Chiang Ching-kuo sent a telegram to Jiang Soong Meiling to report that he would nominate Yu Guohua as the new cabinet leader. Jiang Jingguo believed that although Yu Guohua’s hometown and origin were “a little too close” to him, because of the He used to be the Minister of Finance and the President of the Central Bank when Sun Yunying was the President of the Executive. He is an important financial policy backbone of Sun Yunying's cabinet.
