What’s the Point of Having Meetings
Based on sources that have recently been made available, this article examines how the Chinese Communist Youth League (CYL) in 1920s Shanghai faced complexities and tensions that rendered it unable to fulfil its own personnel policy and organizational goals. Previous scholarship has largely overlooked the day-to-day practice of the local grassroots of the CYL during this period, focusing instead on its strategy and program of development at highe…
Between Arrogance and Despondency
In June 1926, Shanghai cotton-mill workers initiated strikes at Japanese-owned factories in Xiaoshadu, protesting the dismissal of workers accused of arson in the workshop. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) recognized that Chinese workers’ actions should be aligned with their labor movement strategy, and tried to control the scale of the strikes. In August, responding to an incident where Japanese sailors killed a Chinese man, the CCP redirected …
Personal Networks, Group Dynamics, and Local Party Politics
Based on newly available sources, this article explores the ‘Moscow faction’ (or ‘Moscow returnees’) in the Chinese Communist Party of the 1920s by focusing on the professional revolutionary path of one leading returnee, Luo Yinong.

This article draws on a variety of sources to analyse the model's operation in Shanghai. My findings reveal a lasting rivalry between the Communist Party and the Youth League in Shanghai, which both experienced a rise a…
Centralism, localities and leadership
This article investigates a dramatic change in the leadership of the Chinese Socialist Youth League in early 1924, following a series of ideological and emotional rivalries between young radicals. It explores how the stepping down of Liu Renjing leader of the Youth League reflected the limits of Moscow's policy in China, as well as the fragility of both Bolshevik iron discipline and the Leninist organizational norms applied by early Chinese commu…
