| In 1945, with the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War, China’s Anti-Japanese War also accelerated to victory. Under the influence of international factors, the victory came earlier than the expectation of the Kuomintang(KMT) and the Communist Party of China(CPC), bringing new challenges for the CPC. On one hand, the KMT actively seized the fruits of victory, and prevented the CPC from accepting the surrender of the Japanese and puppet army; on the other hand, the KMT sent three telegrams to invite Mao Zedong to Chongqing for negotiation, attempting to gain the power of initiative. This paper will explore how CPC cope with challenges and seize opportunities at the critical point of the victory of China’s Anti-Japanese War under the global background of the World Anti-Fascist War by comparison with other Anti-Fascist countries and the comparison between Yan’an and Chongqing authorities. On one hand, comparison with other Anti-Fascist countries can give a better understanding of China’s special background, mainly in China’s virtual division, the attitude of the United States and the Soviet Union towards KMT and CPC, and three major problems facing China in post-war stage. On the other hand, comparison between Yan’an and Chongqing authorities can reveal how CPC takes the opportunities and win the initiative by setting appropriate policies, competing for the fruits of victory, dealing with Chongqing negotiations, and racing to control Northeast China. |
