Research On The CCP’s United Front Work Of The National Bourgeoisie

The United front is a political advantage of the Communist Party of China.During the Anti Japanese War,the Anti Japanese national united front advocated by the Communist Party of China provided an important guarantee for the victory of the whole nation.This paper focuses on the Shanghai concession between November 1937 and December 1941 in the period of Anti Japanese war,specifically investigates the Chinese Communist Party’s efforts to unite this class and become the Anti-Japanese force during this period.In other words,it is trying to restore the process of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China from reconstruction to the formation and application of the united front work policy during the four years.Before the "August 13 th Incident",Shanghai barely maintained the situation of "one city,three governance".After the Battle of Shanghai,the Chinese border and its surrounding areas fell,the concession had not been occupied,became an "Isolated Island" surrounded by Japanese troops.Looking at the whole country,the Anti Japanese war broke out in an all-round way,the anti-Japanese and national salvation became the strongest voice of the times,the intensification of ethnic contradictions stimulated the changes of domestic class relations.After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War,the broad masses of the people including the national bourgeoisie,actively participated in the Anti-Japanese national salvation movement.The Communist Party of China conforms to the trend of the times and actively advocates the establishment of the Anti Japanese national united front,which takes all Anti Japanese forces as the object of unity and cooperation.The Communist Party of China and the national bourgeoisie seek cooperation under the common goal of resisting Japan.It can be said that the change of their relationship from "Enemy" to "Ally" is the epitome of the adjustment of domestic class relations under the Anti-Japanese war conditions.As far as Shanghai is concerned,after the "September 18 th Incident",Shanghai people included the national bourgeoisie carried out the Anti-Japanese national salvation movement by issuing Anti-Japanese declarations and holding Anti-Japanese strikes and marches.Despite the partial fall of Shanghai after the "August 13 th Incident",people’s Anti-Japanese enthusiasm still exists.Under the guidance of the Anti-Japanese national United front policy,the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China creatively carried out its work according to the changes of the "isolated island" situation and carried out the unity work of the national bourgeoisie by organizing United front friendship activities,welfare mutual assistance activities,soft strike struggle and so on to strive for Anti-Japanese patriotic forces.Although the Party organization and Anti-Japanese forces had to be concealed and transferred after the fall of the concession in 1941.Generally speaking,the United front work in these four years has adapted to the needs of the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War,strengthened the strength of resisting Japan and saving the nation,enriched the concrete practice of the Communist Party of China in flexibly carrying out the United front work during the Anti-Japanese War.
