The activists demanded the government erase all tributes to Chiang and his son, saying they were dictators who oversaw the decades-long “White Terror” political purge that saw thousands executed.

I haven't read extensively into it, but I have heard, that despite Chairman Mao and that Chinese government being of great evil, apparently a lot of bad things are attributed to Chiang as well.
