The Beijing Right-Wing Meeting and
Imperialism
(December 20, 1925)

The imperialists bitterly hate the left-wing Guangzhou Central Executive Committee of the Guomindang for its overall leadership of the nationwide anti-imperialist movement, which has caused all the imperialists to tremble in fear; the
right-wing meeting in Beijing resolved to suspend the authority of the
Guangzhou Central Executive Committee. The imperialists bitterly hate the
Guomindang Political Council for its ability to concentrate its powers on directing the Guangzhou-Hong Kong strikes and on cleaning out their various useful
tools—Yang Ximin, Liu Zhenhuan, Liang Hongkai, Zheng Runqi, Mo Xiong,
Wei Bangping,¹ Chen Jiongming, Lin Hu,² Hong Zhaolin, Deng Benyin,³ Xiong
Kewu;⁴ the right-wing meeting in Beijing resolved to abolish the Political Council. The imperialists bitterly hate the left-wing leader of the Guomindang, Wang
Jingwei,⁵ for being able to lead the national revolution in the life-and-death war
against imperialism; the right-wing meeting in Beijing resolved to expel Wang
Jingwei from the party. The imperialists bitterly hate the assistance that Soviet
Russia has given the Guomindang and the Russian advisors hired by the national
government, which have augmented the strength of the attack on imperialism;
the meeting of the right wing in Beijing resolved to dismiss the Russian advisor,
Borodin. The imperialists bitterly hate the fact that the Guomindang has admitted
Communist Party elements, which add one more major anti-imperialist army; the
right-wing meeting in Beijing resolved to expel Li Dazhao, Tan Pingshan, and
others from the party. This shows us just what kind of jobs the right-wing
meeting in Beijing has been doing for the imperialists.
