The Communist Party of China based on KMT-CPC cooperation showed the attitude of support or opposition toward the every Northern Expedition,affecting it significantly. Generally speaking,the attitude of the Communist Party of China toward the Northern Expeditions had a change from divergence to agreement. In between,the major leaders,local Party organizations,the Central Committee,there existed a certain divergence in dealing with the northern expedition of Kuomintang. Later,under the pressure of Comintern and Kuomintang,attitude of CPC became unifying. At the beginning,CPC was against northern expedition. Later,with the development of domestic situation,the attitude of CPC changed actively. But the leaders of the Communist Party of China became negative again owing to the Zhongshan naval incident and Finishing DangWuAn.
