     At the First Party Congress held in Canton in January, 1924, the admission into the party of Communists, who had been growing in numbers during the past five years, was permitted. The condition of their entrance into the Kuomingtang^{[sic – meaning Kuomintang]} was that they should accept the principles of the latter, not that the Kuomingtang^{[sic – meaning Kuomintang]} should accept their principles.

   • 1936, George Vernadsky, Political & Diplomatic History of Russia‎^[2], Little, Brown and Company, page 436:

     The Chinese revolution reached its climax in 1926. In 1927 dissensions started between the radicals and the moderates, within the Kuomingtang^{[sic – meaning Kuomintang]}. The moderates grew weary of Moscow control. General Chiang-Kai-shek took control over Canton in April, 1927. By this time the Soviet embassy in Peking had been raided by the Chinese police and a number of documents had been seized, proving close connection between Moscow and the Left Wing of the Kuomingtang^{[sic – meaning Kuomintang]}. The documents were published and produced considerable impression in Chinese nationalistic circles. The radicals of the Kuomingtang^{[sic – meaning Kuomintang]} attempted to form their own government in Wuhan, but failed, and Borodin was obliged to leave China

   • 1950 October 27, S. H. Jhabvala, “What Awaits Kashmir”, in The Bombay Chronicle‎^[3], page 4:

     China is now unchallengeable communised, India has not only accepted her in her own country, but is pleading her case before the UNO to replace Kuomingtang^{[sic – meaning Kuomintang]} with the Communist representative, the latter being both legally and constitutionally proper according to the Charter of the UNO. In the event of War between India and Pakistan, China, therefore, can lend her shoulder of Military resources and others to the country that accepts her theory of economic and social life.

     Birth control, among others, was recommended by this committee. Though this was at first rejected by the conservative elders of the Kuomingtang^{[sic – meaning Kuomintang]}, it was later approved in May 1945. But the waning fortunes of the Kuomingtang^{[sic – meaning Kuomintang]} government gave no time to implement this tremendous reform. What the policy of the communist government towards this question will be, time alone can say.

   • 1962, Carsun Chang, The Development of Neo-Confucian Thought‎^[5], volume 2, New York: Bookman Associates, page 474:

     Nor can Communist dictatorship in the mainland, Ch’en Tu-hsiu’s defection, or Communist and Fascist influences on the thought of many Kuomingtang^{[sic – meaning Kuomintang]} party members, be adduced as evidence of lack of popular aspiration for a democratic government. Communism did not originate in China. Introduced into the country by intellectuals who dwelled in attics in the various foreign settlements, it has spread so widely only because China did suffer greatly from the imperialism and capitalism of the West.
