KUOMINTANG.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Single issue of Sin Ming, the newspaper of the party's headquarters in France. A scarce survival of the Kuomintang's activities in Europe in the 1920s, during which young Chinese revolutionaries such as Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping studied in France under the party's aegis. WorldCat shows no institutional holdings of issues from before the late 1930s.The Kuomintang's French branch was established in 1894 to raise the international profile of Sun Yat-Sen and the early republican cause. In light of the 1927 Shanghai Massacre, in which Chiang Kai-Shek ordered attacks on communist cells in Shanghai, this issue is focused on attacking Chen Shunong and other left-wing students in the party. Chen was expelled from the Kuomintang in 1929.
