History

Perspective

The CCP Central Committee resolved to form the CCP Jiangsu Provincial Committee (and Shanghai Municipal Committee) in Shanghai in early June 1927, appointing Chen Yannian as the secretary. On the morning of June 26, the Jiangsu Provincial Committee convened a meeting in Shanghai, attended by Chen Yannian, Zhao Shiyan, Wang Ruofei, Guo Bohe [zh], Han Buxian [zh], Zhang Weizhen [zh], Kang Sheng, and Huang Jingshi [zh], among others.[1] During the meeting, it was declared that the provincial party committee established organizational, propaganda, and other ministries, while simultaneously announcing the allocation of responsibilities among the provincial party committee members. Consequently, the provincial party organs were dismantled in that afternoon, and the provincial party secretary, Chen Yannian, together with organization minister Guo Bohe, secretary-general Han Buxian, and Huang Jingshi, were apprehended.[2] Zhao Shiyan subsequently served as the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.[3]

On July 2, 1927, the CCP Jiangsu Provincial Committee's apparatus was once again compromised owing to treachery, resulting in the simultaneous arrest of Zhao Shiyan and over ten others. The CCP Central Committee resolved to reorganize the CCP Jiangsu Provincial Committee, which included Wang Ruofei and five additional members. In late July 1927, the Central Committee appointed Deng Zhongxia as the secretary of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee. Deng arrived in Shanghai from Hankou in mid-August and restructured the Jiangsu Provincial Committee in accordance with the Central Committee's directive. In mid-January 1928, the CCP Central Committee transferred Deng to serve as the secretary of the CCP Guangdong Provincial Committee, with Xiang Ying assuming the role of secretary for the Jiangsu Provincial Committee. On January 19, the Standing Committee of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee convened and resolved that Xiang Ying and five more members would constitute the Bureau of the Provincial Committee.[4] On February 16, the treachery of the traitor Tang Ruilin [zh] resulted in the arrest and execution of over ten members of the Provincial Committee's Standing Committee, including Zheng Futa [zh] and member Xu Baihao [zh], inflicting significant losses on the Provincial Committee once more.[5] On February 27, the Standing Committee of the Central Committee resolved that the Standing Committee of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee would consist of five members: Xiang Ying, Wang Ruofei, Li Fuchun, Xu Binggen [zh], and Huang Ping.[6]

In May 1928, twelve representatives of the CCP Jiangsu Committee, including Xiang Ying, Wang Ruofei, Xu Xigen [zh], Guo Chunzhi [zh], Jiang Yonghe [zh], Chen Zhiping [zh], Zhu Songshou [zh], Wen Yucheng [zh], Jiang Yun, Wen Shaoquan [zh], Cai Chang, and Yan Pu [zh], departed from Shanghai for Moscow to attend the 6th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, while some leaders of the provincial party committee remained in Shanghai to oversee the committee's operations.[7] Li Fuchun served as the secretary of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee, and in September and October, the Jiangsu delegates to the Sixth National Congress of the CCP returned to Shanghai from Moscow consecutively. In October 1928, the central government appointed Xu Xigen [zh] as the secretary of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and Luo Dengxian [zh] as a member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee. On January 25, 1929, a meeting of the Bureau of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee convened, during which Xiang Zhongfa, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the Central Committee, and Zhou Enlai, member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the Central Committee and Minister of the Organizational Department, communicated the Central Committee's decision to reorganize the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee.[8] The newly formed Provincial Party Committee comprised five members, including Secretary Luo Dengxian, as well as Li Fuchun and He Mengxiong [zh], who were reassigned to the district committee in Shanghai, among others. In September, Li Weihan served as the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.[9]

From 11 to 26 November 1929, the Second Jiangsu Provincial Congress secretly held in Shanghai, and the Jiangsu Provincial Committee was restructured to the Jiangnan Provincial Committee in early October 1930. In January 1931, the Jiangsu Provincial Committee was reestablished. However, due to repeated arrests, the provincial committee was forced to cease activities in early January 1935.[10]

In early November 1937, the Jiangsu Provincial Committee was reestablished in Shanghai with Liu Xiao as its secretary. In early 1938, the Provincial Committee established an Outer County Working Committee in Pudong to organize anti-Japanese forces.[11] On 13 January 1943, the CCP Secretariat decided to abolish the provincial committee and establish an enemy area work department in the Central China Bureau in its place.[12] After the proclamation of the People's Republic of China on 1 October 1949, the Jiangsu Province was divided into south Jiangsu and north Jiangsu administrative regions. After the administrative regions were abolished in 1952, Jiangsu Provincial Committee was reestablished in November 1952, becoming the highest political force of the province.[13]

In January 1967, during the Cultural Revolution, the provincial committee was overthrown. In March 1967, the central government decided to establish military rule in the province, and a revolutionary committee was established in March 1968. In December 1970, the Jiangsu Provincial Committee was reestablished and reorganized to work along with the revolutionary committee. The two institutions began to separate in November 1974.[14]
