History

Summarize
Perspective

The party had its origins in the collapse of the First United Front when they first met in November 1927. Its original members were left-wing Kuomintang members and expelled Communists which called themselves the "Provisional Action Committee of the Kuomintang" or "Third Party" (despite the name, the Young China Party was third largest in the late 1920s–40s).[citation needed]

The party was officially founded in the Shanghai French Concession on 9 August 1930,[1] leading it to become a cohesive entity under Deng Yanda, who organized it under democratic centralism like both the Nationalists and Communists. Deng was secretly executed by Chiang Kai-shek in 1931 and the party went underground.[citation needed]

In 1933, the party, now led by Huang Qixiang, joined with the short-lived "Productive People's Party" in starting the failed People's Revolutionary Government of the Republic of China. In 1935, they renamed themselves in to the "Chinese Action Committee for National Liberation". It was one of the founding parties of the China Democratic League. Its leaders renamed the party in February 1947 to its current name.[citation needed]
