The KMT vs. The CCP

The conflict of the Kuomintang(KMT) and the CCP(Chinese Communist Party) became obvious when the leader of the KMT died in August of 1925. This death caused the initial overthrow of Wang Jingwei and finally Chiang Kai-shek. Even before Chiang gained power, however, he had oppressed the CCP by arresting many of the leading Communists in the KMT. When he took over a struggle for the superlative form of government became apparent. The outcome, however, is one with much dispute. Why did the Communist regimes defeat the more equipped and better-aided Kuomintang? I would have to argue that it was mostly the fault of Chiang Kai-shek and the corruption of the KMT. In the following I will give the reasons to support this statement.

Firstly, under the control of Chiang, the KMT did not have a very well organized or loyal administration. When the KMT was taking control over the warlord-controlled territories of China, instead of appointing the KMT's officials to oversee his conquered territories, Chiang allied the warlord armies and gave them control without significantly c

. . .
Most times, in fact, the situation of the people was greatly reduced under the control of the KMT.

The third, and most fatal mistake the KMT made was not deterring the Japanese in World War II, but instead still focusing on the destruction of the CCP. This made Chiang look as a trader to the Chinese people. Furthermore, the moment Chiang was out of the warlords' sight, they would go back to being warlords. It was almost a mock-defeat, with Chiang forced to return to these territories to regain his control and weaken his subordinates. Combined with his disconnection from the masses and his foolish war-strategies, it was inevitable that the Communist Party would overthrow him. While the CCP was gaining the respect of the people, and sometimes even the KMTs' own members, Chiang formed almost a nationalist-warlord regime where no thought was given to the Chinese people. Chiang and the Kuomintang believed that communicating with and the organization of the masses was a Communist trait, and should be avoided. His alliance with the very enemy in which he is trying to defeat is cause enough for him to lose his control. When America saw that Chiangs' focus was not to push the Japanese out but to destroy the Communists, the USA made an attempt to secretly aid the CCP in order to fight the Japanese. When the Japanese invaded Manchuria, Chiang withdrew his troops without much fight so that he could fight the CCP. Or was it Chiang who did not believe that China was ready for this. Chiang and the KMT made no effort to identify or even communicate with the Chinese people the principles of his system of government. While the goal was democracy, the KMT believed that China was not ready for such a system.
