The Chinese Youth Party’s Military Mobilization, Late 1920s–Mid-1930s
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 June 2022
This chapter first explores how the CYP mobilized radicalized Chinese youths to take part in its violent actions. Subsequently, it explores the CYP’s successes and failures in its military operations through its earlier attempt to found a party army, as well as through its Anti-Japanese guerrilla wars, its uprising in west Hunan, and its participation in the Fujian rebellion. By so doing, this chapter highlights that the CYP founders were not simply intellectuals using the pen as their weapon, but also fought with guns when they strove to materialize their national socialist beliefs. As a result, the CYP also stood out as a distinct revolutionary force representing the radical right in the stage of China’s mass party politics.
