  • Engaging with Socialism in China: the Political Thought and Activities of Chen Gongbo and Tan Pingshan, 1917-1928
    Engaging with Socialism in China: The Political Thought and Activities of Chen Gongbo and Tan Pingshan, 1917-1928 Xuduo Zhao PhD University of York History May 2019 1 Abstract This thesis investigates Chen Gongbo (1892-1946) and Tan Pingshan (1886-1956), two significant Cantonese Marxists who helped found the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1921. I use Chen and Tan as a lens to re-examine the dissemination of Marxism in May Fourth China and the underlying tensions in 1920s Chinese revolution. My study demonstrates that it was in the changing educational system in the early 20th century that Chen and Tan gradually improved their positions in the cultural field and participated in the intellectual ferment during the May Fourth period. At Peking University they became familiarised with Marxism. Their understanding of Marxism, however, was deeply influenced by European social democracy, as opposed to many other early communist leaders who believed in Bolshevism. This divergence finally led to the open conflict within the CCP between Guangzhou and Shanghai in the summer of 1922, which also embodied the different social identities among early Chinese Marxists. After the quarrel, Chen quit while Tan remained within the party. During the Nationalist Revolution, both Tan and Chen became senior leaders in the Kuomintang, but they had to face yet another identity crisis of whether to be a revolutionary or a politician. Meanwhile, they had to rethink the relationship between socialism and nationalism in their political propositions. This study of Chen and Tan’s political thought and activities in the late 1910s and 1920s offers a different picture of Chinese radicalism and revolution in the early Republican period.

He was condemned, with his wife Dong Hui, to imprisonment and to laogai camps for the rest of his life. His posthumous rehabilitation in 1982 transformed him into a legendary national hero. Illustrative of the political struggles in 1953-1955, the Pan Hannian affair seems to reveal the methods Mao Zedong used from time to time in managing the Party internally so as to maintain his dominant position in the leadership.

  • Republican Personality Cults in Wartime China: Contradistinction and Collaboration
    CSSH 57-3 Taylor 1 Republican Personality Cults in Wartime China: Contradistinction and Collaboration JEREMY E. TAYLOR School of Contemporary Chinese Studies, University of Nottingham (UK) INTRODUCTION In his recent book The Stalin Cult, Jan Plamper notes the importance of “contradistinction”—a concept used most often in the field of marketing—in the making of many mid-twentieth-century personality cults. Cults constructed around figures such as Stalin often incorporated attempts to deliberately contrast their objects of veneration with their rivals. This was manifest in the visual realm, in particular, where depictions of individual leaders were often created in direct contrast to those of their contemporaries. For example, “Stalin’s pipe,” argues Plamper, “…was deliberately set off against the bourgeois cigar in general, and eventually against Churchill’s cigar in particular. Roosevelt’s optimistic, white-toothed smile … was in deliberate contrast to Hitler’s brooding, gothic countenance.”1 Recent work on Mussolini suggests that this scenario is also known to historians of modern Europe; Christopher Duggan has shown, for instance, how the origins of the Mussolini personality cult can be traced to fascists’ attempts to set their hero apart from Italy’s liberal leaders in the 1920s.2 In writing on China the concept has been employed, though not articulated as “contradistinction,” most often with reference to the cult of Mao Zedong. This can be seen in recent work by Daniel Leese, who, building on similar observations made decades earlier by scholars such as Raymond Wylie, has examined how modern China’s most pervasive personality cult emerged out of a wartime desire on the part of Mao to emulate, but also set himself CSSH 57-3 Taylor 2 apart from, Chiang Kai-shek.3 The now burgeoning literature on the cultural history of China under Japanese occupation has started to revisit the wartime cults of other leaders,such as the much-maligned Chinese collaborationist leader Wang Jingwei.

  • The Third Chinese Revolutionary Civil War, 1945–49
    Downloaded by [University of Defence] at 20:24 09 May 2016 The Third Chinese Revolutionary Civil War, 1945–49 This book examines the Third Chinese Revolutionary Civil War of 1945–49, which resulted in the victory of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) over Chiang Kaishek and the Guomindang (GMD) and the founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1949. It provides a military and strategic history of how the CCP waged and ultimately won the war, the transformation of its armed forces, and how the Communist leaders interacted with each other. Whereas most explanations of the CCP’s eventual victory focus on the Sino- Japanese War of 1937–45, when the revolution was supposedly won as a result of the Communists’ invention of “peasant nationalism,” this book shows that the outcome of the revolution was not a foregone conclusion in 1945. It explains how the eventual victory of the Communists resulted from important strategic decisions taken on both sides, in particular the remarkable transformation of the Communist army from an insurgent / guerrilla force into a conventional army. The book also explores how the hierarchy of the People’s Republic of China developed during the war. It shows how Mao’s power was based as much on his military acumen as his political thought, above all his role in formulating and implementing a successful military strategy in the war of 1945–49. It also describes how other important figures, such as Lin Biao, Deng Xiaoping, Nie Rongzhen, Liu Shaoqi, and Chen Yi, made their reputations during the conflict, and reveals the inner workings of the First generation political-military elite of the PRC.

  • Mao Zedong, Founding Father of the People's
    Mao Zedong, Founding Father of the People’s Republic of China, Conspired with the Japanese Army ENDO Homare, Director, Center of International Relations, Tokyo University of Social Welfare, Professor Emeritus, University of Tsukuba n 1 October 1949, Mao Zedong declared the creation of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The achievement of Mao Zedong as founding father of the PRC is, Oindeed, great. If we focus attention on this achievement alone, Mao Zedong can be described as “a man of great stature” who deserves to be respected. It should be noted, however, that the PRC is a state that was ultimately created through victory in the Chinese Civil War between the Kuomintang (KMT) forces led by Chiang Kai-shek and forces loyal to the Communist Party of China (CPC) and is not by any means a state created by defeating ENDO Homare, Director, the Japanese Army in the Sino-Japanese War. Center of International The proof of this is that Japan announced defeat on 15 August 1945, but it was 1 October 1949 Relations, Tokyo University of Social Welfare, Professor that the PRC was founded. During this four-year period, the KMT and the CPC waged a fierce civil Emeritus, University of Tsukuba war. Accordingly, the PRC’s claim that the PRC is a state created by defeating the invading Japanese army is factually incorrect. Also, the myth that CPC forces fought valiantly with the Japanese army during the Sino-Japanese War is untrue. On the contrary, during the Sino-Japanese War, Mao Zedong concentrated his efforts on conspiring with the Japanese army to weaken the KMT forces.

Looking at the approaches taken in the colonies of British Asia, postwar treason trials in the Philippines, and Chinese Communist approaches in wartime and postwar Shandong province, this study argues that the laws and rhetoric of treason were deeply flawed tools for confronting the atrocities of war. At the very moment that war crimes trials were defining a set of acts that constituted crimes against all humanity, around the world thousands of individuals who helped perpetrate them were treated as primarily guilty of crimes against the nation.

  • RISE of ULTRANATIONALISM and the PACIFIC WAR 411 Must Not Overlook Is That of Miscalculation
    408 JAPAN: A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY understanding by many, understanding of a certain taste may be confined to a select few. I fully recognize that art and morality are based on personal elements and, unlike mathematical principles, are extremely particularistic. But if they completely deny understanding by others, we cannot call them beautiful or good. CHAPTER Herein lies the difference between mere idiosyncrasy and artistic taste. We do XIV not know for sure if today’s Westerners can understand Japanese taste or the Japanese people the taste of foreign countries. Chances are neither party can. In spite of this observation, I believe that each nation must on the basis of its history develop its own art and morality and contribute toward world civilization from its own unique perspective. To have a unique culture does not mean it is idiosyn- cratic. It must be endowed with a common value. When I say “common,” it does Rise of Ultranationalism not mean that everyone must make the same thing and have the same taste. It simply means that we must recognize the value that is intrinsic in all people. We must separate sameness from unity. All parts of a human body are not the same, and the Pacific War but each part has a unique value, which becomes an indispensable part of a human body. Misunderstanding arises when this meaning is not made clear. If artistic and moral values can require understanding by all, we must still not forget that there is a degree of understanding that can be great, small, deep, or shallow.

  • Jeremy E. Taylor from TRAITOR TO
    Journal of Chinese History 3 (2019), 137–158 doi:10.1017/jch.2017.43 . Jeremy E. Taylor FROM TRAITOR TO MARTYR: DRAWING LESSONS FROM THE DEATH AND BURIAL OF WANG JINGWEI, https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms 1944* Abstract Based on recently reopened files and publications in Nanjing, as well as published and newsreel accounts from the 1940s, this paper represents the first scholarly analysis of the rituals surrounding the death and burial of Wang Jingwei in Japanese-occupied China. Rather than locating this anal- ysis purely in the literature on the history of the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–45), however, this paper asks what Wang Jingwei’s Re-organized National Government might tell us about per- sonality cults in the political culture of modern China. While Wang’s burial drew heavily on the precedent of Sun Yat-sen’s funerals of the 1920s, it also presaged later spectacles of public mourn- ing and posthumous commemoration, such as Chiang Kai-shek’s funeral in 1975 in Taipei. In focusing on this one specific event in the life of a “puppet government,” this paper hopes to reignite , subject to the Cambridge Core terms of use, available at scholarly interest in the study of “dead leaders” and their posthumous lives in modern Chinese history more generally. INTRODUCTION 25 Sep 2021 at 08:40:15 Despite the flurry of commemorative events in China in the months leading up to the sev- “ ’ , on entieth anniversary of the Victory of the Chinese People s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War,” not every major event in that con- flict was publicly remembered.

Whereas the nationalist government had attempted to unify the country and mobilize resources for its economic and military ambitions, the various centers of power that emerged after 1937 — both Chinese and Japanese — entered into a fierce competition for the control of material resources. But modernization was no longer the objective.
