How to Grow the New Communist Party of China?
Manage episode 376599208 series 3476808
The new Communist Party of China faced decisions on how to grow. Henk Sneevliet, representative of the Communist International (Comintern) to the Far East recommended allying with Sun Yat-sen and the KMT and forming a United Front. Communist Party members could join the KMT as individuals while the Communist Party criticized it and organized the workers and peasants for revolution.
Henk faced resistance among the Chinese Communists who preferred to go a different way. They tried to organize railway workers and call for a General Strike. Meanwhile, the Seamen's Union in Guangzhou had more success.
What was the best way forward for the Communists in China?
