Talk:Soong Mei-ling

Telegram?
In the 'Death' section, there is a sentence that reads as follows: 'Jia Qinglin, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), sent a telegram to Soong's relatives where he expressed deep condolences on her death.' (emphasis added). To me, this is worded improperly, as telegram is usually used in reference to the wireless telegram. However, the source reads as follows: 'Jia Qinglin, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), sent a message to the relatives of Madame Soong to mourn her death, calling Soong a noted and influential person in the modern era of Chinese history, who had been dedicated to the Chinese people's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, opposed to separating the nation, and hopeful for the peaceful reunification across the Taiwan Straits and the flourishing of the Chinese nation.' (emphasis added). I do not believe the replacement of the word message with telegram is a wise decision, as it's connotation is that Jia Qinglin used a wireless telegram to send his message to the family of Soong Mei-ling when that does not appear to be the case.

I believe the sentence should read as follows: 'Jia Qinglin, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), sent a message to Soong's relatives where he expressed deep condolences on her death.' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.139.104.173 (talk) 02:15, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
