When news came out that Chang, who was widely admired on both sides of the Taiwan Strait in his later years, had passed away, ROC president Chen Shui-bian sent his condolences to Chang's family in a telegram: "I was saddened to learn about Mr. Chang's death from the ROC office in Hawaii and am sending this telegram to offer my sincerest condolences."
晚年頗受兩岸禮遇的張學良過世的消息傳出後，陳水扁總統隨即拍發唁電表示：「駐美國檀香山辦事處請轉張漢卿先生家屬禮鑑：驚悉漢卿先生捐館，曷勝震悼，謹電致唁，敬祈節哀。」
