Over the years from 1926-1935 and under the influence of the highly developed centralization, the personality cult and the theory of "Socialism could be built into within one nation" in the Soviet Communist Party (or the Bolshevik Party), the Communist International (or the Comintern) had become increasingly centralized in organization and inclined towards "Left" in politics and had come to be a tool for pursuing Soviet Union's foreign policy. For this reason, the China policies made by the Communist International were riddled with mistakes.The mistakes made by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) during the same period such as Chen Duxiu's "Right" opportunism, Qu Qiubai's "Left" putschism, Li Lisan's "Left" adventurism and Wang Ming' s "Left" dogmatism were all related to the Communist International.Based on the archives regarding the Soviet Communist Party re leased after the breakup ofSovietUnionandguidedby Marxist dialectical materialism, the present paper attempts to offer a comprehensive analysis of the China policies of the Communist International and its effects upon Chinese Revolution from 1926 to 1935 so as to present a clear and complete picture of the relations among the Communist International, the Bolshevik Party and the CCP, from which to find out the inner causes cf the failure of Chinese Revolution. The paper comprises of 6 parts.The preface gives an account of the period the research covers, namely from March 1926 to January 1935, its basis, evolution and present conditions as we 11 as the significance of the present research.Chapter 1 approaches the inner relations between the Comintern and the failure of the Chinese First Great Revolution. The handling of the Zhongshan Warship Incident in 1926 can be seen as the first indication of inclination of the Comintern's "Right" dogmatism. In order to safeguard Soviet Union's interests in the Far East and crack down the opposition faction in the Soviet Communist Party, the Comintern took great pains in the course of the Northern Expedition to maintain the cooperation between the Kuomintang (KMT) and the CCP. On the one hand, it adopted a give-in policy in face of the stepped-up offensives of new rightists like Chiangkeshi and becameincreasingly "Right" inclined; on the other hand, the Comintern suppressed differing opinions and views of CCP leadership, which brought about the grave mistakes of Chengduxiu's "Right"opportunism and the failure of the revolution. Chapter 2 probes into the influences of the Comintern's offensive theory on the CCP from late 1920s to the middle of 1930s. For instance, with the guidance of Stalin's "Three-Stage" theory, Qu Qiubai committed the mistake of "Left" putschism; influenced by "The Third-Period" theory of the Comintern, there appeared Li Lisan's "Left" adventurism and Wang Ming's "Left" dogmatism in the CCP . The paper also explores the negative effects of these mistakes on the CCP and Chinese Revolution.Chapter 3 inquires into the relevance of the Comintern's organizational line to the "Left" closed-door policy of the CCP. In the late 1920s the Central Authorities of the Soviet (Bolshevik) Party launched a campaign to criticize Bukharin "Right" Opportunism, and spread it through the Comintern to communist parties in other countries. The "Left" policy of the Comintern towards the Social Democratic Party had profoundly affected the emergence and development of three "Left "mistakes in China, particularly the mi stake of the "Left" closed-door policy, namely, "combating intermediate forces" and seeking for "a route as straight as possible " and "ranks as pure and clean as possible". This had produced immeasureable losses to Chinese Revolution.Chapter 4 explores the influences of the Comintern's Bolshevization Movement on the CCP. It deals with the rigins and stepwise intensification of Bolshevization Movement, the mistakes of the CCP in carrying out the movement and its consequnces, and evaluation of Chinese Bolshevization Movement, Chapter 5 approaches the roots of "Left" and "Right" mistakes of the...
