Chiang was the victim of harassment and torture during the Cultural Revolution in China. He and fellow table tennis stars Fu Chi Fong and Yong Guotang were accused of being capitalist spies simply because of their Hong Kong origin.[7] Chiang liked to read newspapers in his spare time, which led to accusations by the rebels that he was collecting information for the capitalists and Japanese.[8] After being forced into a confession, he committed suicide on May 16 1968 Chi Fong and Yong Guaotang were also forced into suicide by the same public harassment and torture.[9]
