However, the establishment of schools for ACM signaled the establishment of ACM as an established profession in the U.S. One of the first persons who wanted to set-up a school for Chinese medicine in the U.S. was Dr. Tom Foo Yuen （谭富园, August 7, 1858 - July 10, 1947） during the late 1800s in Los Angeles （LA）, California. However, it was not until 1969 or 1970 that the first informal ACM school was actually established in the U.S. This school was called the Institute for Taoist Study, and was located in LA. However, this school was not registered with the local government and Dr. Gim Shek Ju was the sole teacher at that time.展开更多

Participation of other parties in politics was disallowed. But after the Anti-Japanese War （1937-45）, under the combined effect of internal and external pressure, the GMD needed to adopt a constitution, reorganize government and establish multi-party participation. The April 1947 governmental reorganization was the starting point of a transformation from a ＂political tutelage＂ system to a constitutional system. Though this reorganization introduced many non-GMD members into the government, it did not change the GMD＇s one-party dominance. Its desired transformation of China from one-party ＂political tutelage＂ into a constitutional democracy still remained limited.展开更多
