On January 16, 2021, an article titled “How the Soviet Union Aided the Chinese Communist Party – One of the Conversations in the Year of Gengzi” was published on the website of Overview China, introducing the conversation between Xu Zerong and Xu Ping, which covers many little-known insider stories about the history of the Chinese Communist Party.
Xu Zerong, a former classmate of Wang Huning, a second-generation Hong Kong academic and a former Chinese Communist Party mentor, received his Ph.D. in political science from Oxford University in 1999 and was sentenced to 13 years in prison after being formally arrested in July 2000 on charges of “leaking state secrets.
Chen Ping is also a second-generation Chinese entrepreneur, academic, independent media operator, and chairman of Sunshine Media Group, a reformist of Zhao Ziyang’s faction. In the late 1970s, he followed Xi Zhongxun more than once on his “former southern tour” to inspect the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone in its infancy; he is a familiar friend of Xi Jinping, Yu Zhengsheng, Wang Qishan, Zhang Gaoli and many other leaders of the current fifth generation of the Chinese Communist Party.
This article was compiled by reporter Li Chenyu based on the article published in Overview of China.
- Xu Zerong, the first person to study the history of the Thai Communist Party
In the fall of 1980, when Xu Zerong was a graduate student in the Department of International Politics of Fudan University, he and Wang Huning studied together in the course “Study of Capitalism” and often corresponded with each other. Later, Wang Huning became a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee and was subject to strict discipline, so he could no longer communicate with each other, but his classmates’ love remained.
Later, during his overseas studies, Xu Zerong moved to the Chinese University of Hong Kong as the only scholar studying the history of the Communist Party of Thailand. After researching, he found that the Thai Communist Party was basically arranged by the Chinese Communist Party from its inception and riots to its descent and surrender. This in turn led to his research on the Soviet Communist Party and the Communist International for the Chinese Communist Party’s aid to China in the form of payroll. These are all in the same vein, and the methods used are basically the same.
- The Soviet Union’s payroll aid contributed to the Communist victory in usurping power
The origin of Soviet payroll aid.
Originally, Sun Yat-sen relied on the establishment of the “Jihun Bureau” to accept donations from overseas Chinese in South China and give back to the fundraisers in the form of joining the government or studying at public expense. However, Yuan Shikai stole the fruits of the revolution and abolished the “Bureau of Scholarship”, which made it difficult to cash in on the returns and caused a shortage of funds for the revolution. Sun Yat-sen had to accept donations from the Soviet Union and died less than two years later. So this is how the history of Soviet aid to China begins. Even if the Soviet Union did not go to Sun Yat-sen, it could still make use of the Chinese workers in Russia to form an army, and the returnees to make revolution.
From the May Fourth Movement until 1949 or until the mid-1950s, the Soviet Union gave the Communist Party of China and the People’s Republic of China the assistance in the form of payrolls – payrolls are money, and payrolls are weapons. It was decisive for the victory and consolidation of the CCP’s usurpation of power, and could even be said to have played a “role in shaping the outcome”. But in philosophical terms, it was only a necessary condition, that is, it did not necessarily win, but without it, it certainly would not have won.
Sun Moon’s Manifesto
The Sun Moon Overflight Declaration, or the Sun-Vietnam Declaration for short. The Soviet Union’s military involvement in China began at the Whampoa Military Academy in 1923 with the signing of the Sun Moon Yue Fei Declaration in Atami, Japan. Sun said that he would accept the Soviet Union’s aid in the form of payrolls, but that communism and even the Soviet system “could not be invoked in China”, and that he would work for the unification of the Republic of China; he agreed to maintain the status quo in regard to Outer Mongolia. This marked the arrival of an era of “United Russia” and “tolerant Communism”.
At that Time, the Soviet Union instructed the Chinese Communist Party that one was to divide and disintegrate the Kuomintang’s army; the other was to build up its own armed forces. The Soviet Union had already made this clear, but it was still urban-centric, organizing workers and peasants.
Worldwide Communist International Action of the Soviet Communist Party
After the success of the October Revolution, Lenin thought that the Soviet Union could not build socialism on its own, so he wanted to make a world revolution in Western Europe, and only if they won, the Soviet Union could win. Later, when the old one failed to succeed, he went to India, and the main enemy of the Soviet Union at that time was Britain not the United States. After that, the plan was to build a military base there on the border between Afghanistan and India, and then to instigate the followers of Islam to fight the followers of Hinduism until the Indian government was destroyed. As a result, the plan failed. Despite the failure, Lenin wanted to get China to try again.
Stalin believed that: at first should not go to fight Poland, should not go to engage in Afghanistan, should be early with all the energy to build Chinese workers army South China, the Chinese Communist Party in 1921 can successfully seize power.
The Chinese Communist Party defeated the Kuomintang by using “breech gun” to assist the Chinese Communist Party in armament
From 1927 to 1949, the Soviet Union assisted the Chinese Communist Party with rifle types, mainly Japanese Type-30 rifles and Soviet imitation Japanese Type-30 rifles, which were ten times stronger than the Hanyang and Zhongguo rifles of the Kuomintang army, and in this respect, the Communist weapons were superior to those of the Nationalist army.
The Soviet Union had several important arsenals in China, including the Hyogo, Shixing and Nanxiong arsenals under Chen Jitang’s jurisdiction, which were used to finance the Chinese Communist Party’s civil war.
The most critical incident of Soviet support for CCP weapons was in 1947 in the Mudanjiang-Suifenhe area, when the Soviet Union handed over to the CCP the restored 10,000 and 8,000 captured Kwantung Army guns, guns leased to the Soviets under the U.S. Leasehold Act, and the Soviets’ own guns. So Mudanjiang should be the turning point for the Chinese Communist Party to gain complete victory. It was the change from the use of guns to the use of artillery.
In 1947, 18,000 guns were handed over to the Fourth Field in Mudanjiang, of which at least 8,000 should be breech-loading guns. 15 minutes of suppression fire, so 8,000 guns were the final winning factor in the victory over the Kuomintang. After settling the periphery, the average was four hours to conquer a city. The defeat of the Kuomintang was the power inside the barrel of the cannon. Therefore, in this civil war, the second half of the Chinese Communist Party relied on artillery, the first half relied on guns, and diplomacy relied on the Soviet-Japanese neutrality treaty.
According to the Soviet encyclopedia, the Soviet Union gave the Chinese Communist Party $4.5 billion worth of materials under the Leasehold Act, which was many times more than what the United States gave to the Kuomintang. This figure does not dare to sit on it.
The money to aid the Chinese Communist Party invaded China wrapped in Marxist-Leninist ideology, as did the Confucius Institute
In the 28 years from 1921 to 1949, the Soviet Union gave a total of 100 million dollars in cash to the Chinese Communist Party, which is the conclusion of a Russian scholar, equivalent to 340 million silver dollars. If we count from 1919 or 1921 to 1949, the CCP received an average of 1 million silver dollars per month from the Soviet Union in cash, not including the discount on weapons and supplies. It didn’t include the group military fees, strike fees, etc., those are more, that is called special support fees, this is called Changchuan fees, to the Shanghai Party Central Committee this Changchuan fees, is an average monthly increase of 3%.
Xu Zerong suggested that the so-called climax of the acceptance and propagation of Marxism-Leninism by Chinese intellectuals after May 4 was nonsense. In fact, it was an illusion caused by the money given by the Soviet Union’s big foreign propaganda. It is almost the same way as the Chinese Communist Party now runs this Confucius Institute. So a lot of the money for the publication and newspaper was given by the Soviet Union. We can find 22 evidences in the Soviet archives so far, that is, how the Communist International ordered the funding of these things, this is the nail in the coffin.
The CCP was actually a branch of the Soviet Union in China. The Soviet Union supported the Chinese Communist Party, where did the money come from? The Middle East Railway made a profit. Later it was sold to The Japanese, and the profits and ransom were enough to compensate for the money. The net profit was about 20 million silver yuan a year, not 200 million in ten years!
The thief does not fight three years to confess.
The truth will always gradually come to the surface.

Chen Ping argues that in fact the so-called Chinese Revolution or CCP revolution, or the Northern Expedition, which included Sun Yat-sen’s Nationalist revolution, was already in fact part of a unified world revolutionary strategy of the Soviet Communist Party.
Technology transfer and industrial support for the CCP
After the Chinese Communist Party stole power, in the 1950s, the Soviet Union transferred technology to the Chinese Communist Party, not only general industry, but also military industry, and even nuclear industry, atomic bomb technology was given to the Chinese Communist Party. No other country in the modern history of the world has given that much military industry as well as nuclear industry to another country. The Soviet Union then made the Chinese Communist Party, they gave the money to the Chinese Communist Party, and other so-called little brothers came to it to receive money. It was already part of the international communist movement. That is, without the guidance, assistance and rates aid of the Soviet Communist Party, there would have been no Chinese Communist Party and no subsequent victory of the Chinese Communist Party.
The Soviet Union provoked the war between China and Japan to prevent the Japanese from invading their country by way of the war
Even before the founding of the Communist International, the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party might have received German funding to turn against Chinese intellectuals. Stemming from Russia’s defeat in the Russo-Japanese War, it was afraid that Japan would invade Russia again after turning China into a colony. In case China was threatened from the Chinese direction after the Japanese occupied Manchuria, besides the planned import of ideology, i.e. communism, into China, national interest considerations were pivotal here.
Therefore, the Russian Communist Party created a number of false cases.
- Tanaka Zao
The “Tanaka Shogun” is a secret document of the “Eastern Conference”, which the Taiwanese Tsai Zhikan claimed to have discovered and secretly transcribed, i.e. a secret document of about 40,000 words presented to the Showa Emperor by the Japanese Premier Tanaka Yoshinori. The content of the document was so similar to the actual strategy of Japanese aggression that many people in the Great War believed it to be authentic. Yet the memo is now considered a forgery by many scholars, including those in China, Japan, and Europe and the United States, many years later.
According to Xu Zerong, Tanaka’s memo was mainly a “pacification strategy for Manchuria and Mongolia”, not mainly about how to threaten the Soviet Union, Asia and the world after the occupation of the whole China.
- The bombing of Zhang Zuolin
According to Xu Zerong’s investigation, according to the current Soviet archives, it was done by Soviet agents, who then framed the Japanese so that they could fight with the Chinese and provoke a war between China and Japan.
- Deterring Daisaku Kawamoto to admit to blowing up Feng Zhang
It was the Soviet Union’s national policy to provoke China and Japan into war. In the Soviet archives, these people, Vyshinsky, reported to the Communist International that we faithfully carried out the orders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which was to do everything possible to provoke a conflict between China and Japan in China. That’s really what they thought.
The reporter found that Japanese historian Junko Miyawaki, based on the book “Solving the Mystery of the “Bombing of Zhang Zuolin” by Yasuo Kato, also believes that “Daisaku Kawamoto’s assassination of Zhang Zuolin” is a complete lie.
According to Chen Ping, the Soviet Union’s support for the Chinese Communist Party was not an aid, but a revolution of its own. The relationship between the CCP and the Soviet Union went through several stages, from branch to proxy to dependence; then to falling out and to independence.
Lin Feng points out that the historical veil was gradually lifted. The former Soviet Union imported communism into China and supported the CCP. It extinguished itself, but spawned a world evil that endangered the entire human race. The CCP became the largest cult in the entire world, and through infiltration and unification, many national dignitaries joined with it and poisoned the people, persecuting hundreds of millions of people to death around the world. The Chinese Communist Party has supported the Communist Parties in various countries and slaughtered the local people. 2020 has spread the Chinese Communist virus to the whole world. The righteous forces of the world must unite to destroy this communist red devil, and only then will there be hope for humanity.
