Ep. 48 | The Founding of the CCP

Jul 1

Thanks and 非常感谢 to listener Steaven who alerted me that the July 1st podcast was cut-off two-thirds of the way through. After rallying the entirety of the resources here at the China History Podcast, we were able to resolve the problem and have re-uploaded this episode. Our profound apologies.

In commemoration of the festivities in China marking the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party, today we look at the events leading up to the CCP’s 1st Party Congress in Shanghai. It was nine decades ago on this day on July 1, 1921, that the thirteen delegates of the Party participated in this historic event that began in Shanghai and finished off in the city of Jiaxing.
