I guess that is what I found curious - he and family exiled in the USA. Surely that meant relations couldn't have been that bad, no?
Adding edit since I think I am failing to say what I want to say- it seems to me that relations were good, even after 1.0's removal from power, and the family just had a grudge. Connections seemed to have been maintained at least for the rest of 1.0's life. Is this true? Does it matter? Did this connection lish Jr towards the US instead of China?
