Abstract

As the author explains, even before 1949, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Kuomintang (KMT) alike vilified the CYP and Mao Zedong pronounced one of its main leaders, Zeng Qi (1892-1951), a war criminal in 1948. However, underneath the lengthy analyses of mobilization strategies, warlord politics, and military activities, the question of why Chinese youth would be loyal to the CYP rather than the CCP or KMT remains largely unanswered. Also, he espouses the notion that the CYP ideology always corresponded to the actions of its leaders - "the CYP founders practiced what they believed" (16) - but this has never been the case in politics anywhere.
