"YAPTON MAKING IN CHENS" papary
Not for Publication.
Bvonts of the greatest significance are happening in China today
in such repid suecession that people are becoming obsessed with a sense
of bewilderment when they try to follow the ever-changing situation. The
following paragraphs are written in the hope tht they will help those
interested in China's welfare to reach a clearer conception of what is
really taking place in our country.
1. Whe Pirst Piftoen Yoars.
Our Understanding of the presént situation in China will be
greatly helped when we have grasped the historical significance of the |
firet fifteen years in the life of the young Republic. Briefly summarised,
three digtinct periods are noticeable in those fifteen years.
A.@he First Period. When the Manchus abdisated in 1911 after
a short struggle with the Revolutionary Party, tho Republic of China was
proclaimed with Dr. Sun Yat-Sen as the first President im Nanking. The
event wos hailed all over the country with great rejoicing as heralding
the dawn of the democratic era in old Cathday. But the high homps enter~
tained then were not fulfilled. On the advice of his followers but against
his own conviction, Dr. Sun yielded his Presidency to Yann Shih Kai in
1912. By this action, the real revolution sufered a setback the effect of |
which has teen us all these fifteen years to overcome. i
Dr. Sun was persuaded to relinquish the Presidency in favor of
Yuan Shih Kai on the ground that the Revolution, having achieved its pure
pose th the abdication of tha Manchu dynasty, now needed a man of proved
administrative ability and experience to build up the new Republic. By
common consent that man was Yuan Shih Kai rather than Sun Yat-Sen. Many,
even among his own followerg, thought so and so Dr. Sun retired and Yuan
Shih Kei became President.
Wheat we were too blind to see at the time was that Dr. Sun, how~
ever inexperienced in political administration he might be, nevertheless
was the product of the Revolution and did represent in his person the
Spirit of Progressive Chine. With him as President, veal changes in the
political thought and life of the Chinese people would have been possible,
because, in the eyes of the people, he would stand ovt in bold velief as
a definite break with the past.
Yuan Shih Kai, on the other band, while a great and able admin-
istrator, was the product of the Imperial System and typified in his per~
gon the Spirit of the Statue Quo. As soon as he took over the Presidency,
all those among eu people who were not prepared to pay the nest of real
change, heaved a sigh of relief, for they now felt aswured thet the old
order would remain, And they were right. The old order did remain @IT
these fifteen years in spite of the Revo lution. :
The fixst period is, therefore, a britt one beginning end ending
with Dr. Sun's first Presidency. Although brief, no single event in the
early history of the Republic has had more to do in shaping the dostiny
of oe than this relinquishuent of the Presidency by Dr. Sun Yat-Sen
in .
eh mee
B. The Second Period. This period of four years from 1915-1916
was centered round Yuan Shih Kai. As soon as he took over the presidency
he immediately began, with consummate skill, to consolidatechis own posi-
tion. Yuan accomplished this by placing his own most trusted generals
as governors of the most important provinces of China. This process want
on until 1916 when he felt himself strong enough to declare a new monarchy
for ‘China under the title of Hung Hsien with himself as the first emperor.
In doing this, however, Yuan Shih Kai over-reached himself and his care~
fully laid plans of several years collapsed around him like a House of
cards. This period closed with his death.
G. The Third Period. ‘The next poriod of ten years from 1916-
1925 was cheracterised by a serious of internal wars. The genorals ap~
pointed by Yuan Shih Kai began to fight among themselves for wealth ad
power soon after his death. It wag in thig period that the grea’ mili-
tovist factions like the Anfu Olique, the Chihli Party ani the Moukden
Party rose to struggle against earh other for supremacy.
The net result in this period of internal strifle wag the break-
down of vhe authority of the Central Government. Peking became the poli-
tical prize for each militarist faction as it rose in power. Instead of
a national government, Peking became the property of the dominant military
faction. In a sense, therefore, China has not had a central government
for the last decade.
II. The Rise of the Nationalist Movement.
But all through these fifteen years, while Yuan Shih Kai was
busy maturing bis plans for the monarchy and while his generals after him
were carrying on that senseless series of internal wars, a strong under~
current of & totally different’ nature was slowly gathering strength in
the nation. Year after year, the people have watched and suffered with
what was to the Western mind, incredible apathy, the gross mismamagement
of the affairs of their own nation, both internally md externally. These
years of political turmoil, however, were not suffered in vain. Bor slow-
ily through these yearg it was borne wpon the consciousness of the people
that unless they begin to express some interest and to demand a share in
the government of their nation, the state of affairs was not going to im-
prove. It was this awakening which leid the foundation for the present
nationalist movement.
Three faikly distinet stages in this awakening can be traced.
During the earlier years of the Republiv up to 1919, the awakening was
confined largely to the student and more intellegent marchant classes
of China, Whe high points in this period which focussed attention and
roused feelling in & national way were the Twenty-one demands of Japan
and the Versailles Peace Treaty. While the central government remeined
powerless on both oceassinns, the students and merchants of the country
combined in an economic boycott of Japan as a protest agginst the Twenty-
one demands and in a national strike to compel our peace delegation in
Paris tom withdraw from the Conference ag a protest against the settlement
of the Shantung question.
Prom 1919 to 1925, the awakening entered its second stage when
the laboving classes of China were reached, Beginhing from Séuth China,
wore Bmtce
the tide of nationaliam swept steadily northward through the ranks of
labor. Brom an incoherant mass, lebor in China today has become a power-~
ful group to be reckoned with in any national crisis.
The two events which stood out in this period as rallying points
in the consciousness of the people were the Scamen's stvike of Hongkong
in 1923 and the May sOth Shooting affairs of Shanghei in 1925. Both events
served to intensify and deepen the already growing national consciousness
of the Chinese people, particularly in the vanks of labor.
,Itewas during this period that the Russian influence began to he
felt in China. Russia, posing as the only country ready to deal with China
as an equal, was welcomed by Dr. Sun and his followers and Russian advisors
were appointed to the most important departments in the Southern Gover nnent,
®he Russien contribution to the Nationalist cause Lies chiefly in adding
eethod and experience in party organization md propaganda to the enthu-
siasm of vhe nationalists.
Since Mey Z0th, 1925, tt Nationalist awakening reached its
third stage when it enfered another stratum of Chinese society, namely,
the farm workers. During the past year farmers unions sprang up rapidly
in South China and the movement promises to spread to other provinces when-
ever they come under the influence of the Nationalist Government. It is yet
too early to estimte the power and strength of this group when thoroughly
awakened to a sense of nationhood but anyone with even a limited under-
standing of conditions in China will readily see the vast significance in
this stage.
ITI. The Kuo Ming Tang ani the Nationalist Movement.
®he political expréssion of thé Nationalist Movement is the Kuo
Ming Tang or People's Pargy. This party was originally founded by Dr.
Sun Yat-Sen ag a secret organization. Under the name of Tung Men Hui for
the purppse of overthrowing the Manchu regime. After the establishne nt
of the Republic, the Tung Men Hui was reorganized and became the Kuo Ming
Tang. Through thick and thin, this party has tried to preserve the ideals
of the Revolution. During the first years of the Republic, 1t opposed
Yum Shih Kai's efforts to aboligh the Parliament and suspend the Consti-
tution. Defeated in this struggle, the leaders went down to Cantion and
6stablished an independent government from Peking. Through many vicis~
situdes of fortune, this Government has developed into the present Nation-
alist Government.
The chief source of strength of the Kuo Ming Tang at the present
time lies in the fact that it is the only political party Which has even
the semblance of a constructive national program for the country. Broadly
speaking, this program consists of tree main sections, namely, the poli-
tical unification of China umier the authority of a nationalist govern-
ment, the re-adjustm nt of China's international treaties and the better-
ment of the condition of hand-workers. With such a pregram, the Kuo Ming
Tong has given voice to the nationalistic sentiment and as a result the
Northern Drive succeeded beyond the vildest hopes of its orgginators. To-
day, the territory under the control of the Nationalist Government embraces
Kwangtuhg, Kwongsi, Kwichow, Bukien, Hunan, Hupeh, Kiangsi, Shensi and Kan-
su.
k
mart Aware
Opposed to tho Nationalist Government, we find three military
factions. First and the most powerful comes the Moukden group under the
leadership of Chang Tso Lin which at present controls the Theee Bastern
Provinces, Chihli and Shantung. Seaniiy, we have the group under the
‘leadership of Sun Chuan Feng which wntrola Kiangsu, Chekiang and Anhui.
The third group is known as the Chihli Party with General Wu Pei Bu as
the leader. This faction has Honan under its control. Ouétide of these
three groups, there are Shansi under Governor Yen and Yunnan under Govern
or Bang both of whom ere maintaining an attitude of wetchful waiting. —
Szechuen is claimed by the Nationalist Govermmant but its veal atatus is mx
still uncertain. Contrasted wih the Kuo Ming Tang, these military groups
have no program of any kind except unitication by misitary force. They
are cordiaLly hated by the people ani their elimimtion is simply a ques-
tion of time.
IV. @he Communists and Kuo iing Tang.
Ever sined the influx of Westcrn ideas into China, vummunish has
gained a small bend of té@llowers in tho ranks of the intelligensia. But
the group has remained small and unimportant because of the innate aversion
of the Chinese people to redical ideas of social organization. When the .
Kuo Ming Tang grew in importance end size and in the favor of the people,
it led to a desire on the part of the communists to want to throw in their
lot with the Kuo Ming Tang, so that under cover of the political influence
of the party, they can propagate and put into practice comnunistic ideas
and principles. The Kuo Ming Tang on the other hand, lacked organization
and a spixit of abandon and it was felt by the leaders that an influx trom
the communistie group would be a great ussest to their own party mchine and
spirit. Accordingly, a union of the two wags consummted soon after 1921.
She division of labor between these two groups seemed to be that the poli-
tical program of the party is to be in the hands of the Kuo Ming Teng lead-
ers ule the propagandist activities are to be in the hands of the com-
munists.
The initLux of commnistic members into the Kuo Ming Tang hag re-
sulted in agharp division in the rank and file of tm party. Those follow-
exs of Dr. Sun who are moderates and not sympathetic to communi sti ideas
are known as the "Rights" whise estremiats and communists are known as the
"Lefts". duet at present, the lefts are in the ascendency in the party.
The left wing of the pry hes gained a strong toohold among
students through the studemt unions and among laborers through th labor
unions, It is ,jugt beginning fo organize the farm workers into uniong
also. Through these magns, the left wing has gained tremendous power in
the party and the moderates are powerless to overthrow this group Wor tear
it willso gheke and disrupt the whole fabric of the party as to endanger
the nationalist movement in China. And so the. activities of the Left wing
ake tolerated by the party as a whole and, for the same reason, tolerated
by the people at 1arge. It is therefore quite wrong to say that China
become communistic, he real situation is that a communistic wing in the
Kuo Ming Tang is st present tolerated for the sake of te Larger issue be@
fore us, namely the successful prosecution of the nationalist movement.
V. Some Dangers Confronting the Kuo ling Tang.
From personal obervations mde in défferent parts of China, TI
see the Kuo Ming Tang facing some very serious problems in its immediate
future.
The first and most serious of these problems is the question of how
long the temporary alliance between the Kuo Ming Tang and the Communistis
wove uae
party can be maintained. Signs of discontent and rivalry between the two
eronve aro a&lready evident. These, if not smoothed over, will invektably
lead to @ aplit in the party.
Secondly, the party's economic program of workers" e@ntrol of
sources of production and e levy on capital, if carried to the extweme,
Will lead to such a serious disruption of the economic lite of the country
that it is mone than likely to defeat its own end, the betterment of the
working man's economic condition. With this end, mst people in China are
in sympathy. But these is a Jaw of average in the economic world beyond
which one can not go. Once this limit is overstepped, the economic order
breaks down. The mass of hand-workers in China are uneducated people. When
drunk with power and dazzled by the a.iuring prospect of high wages and
short working hours, who can guy to what lengths they wil. go?
Thirdly, the Kuo Ming Tang in its anti-religion and anti-Christian
propaganda is tampering with mn's consciences, always a delicate sphere to
meddle in. History has shown us tha t it is literaily true that men have
no fear of that which kilis the body but not the soul when it comes to
matters of conscience, The religious forces in any wuntry can develop into
a tormidable source of opposition to any movement which seriously threatens
the liberty of conseience. In attacking religious institutions, I feel
the Kuo Ming Tang is embarked on a policy of doubtful wisdom because it is
rallying ageinst itself ea ansiderable body of moderate opinion whieh wouid
otherwise heartily support the party's program.
Pourthly, when one takes a longer view of the situation today,
one can not but feel phat the Kuo Ming Tang, in its student program, is
so thoroughly disorganizing school discipline and disturbing the nece-
ssary concentration of attention for study, that it is saddling the future
of the country with a heavy disadvantage. ‘This generation of China's
youth afzected by the Kuo Ming Tang program is growiig up with no dis-
Gipline and very little real stuay. This is particularily serious for a
country like China where the nation's leadership is exclusively drawn
from the stuagent class.
lastly, the Kuo Ming Tang, particularily the lett wing, in its
appeal to the muss is stirring up much discontent gmong the workers untem-
pered with a regard for the general welfare. all will be well when the
mass is amenable to the leadership of the party. But should the workers
thus roused by the Kuo Ming Tang ever get out of hand, then we will have
the devil to pay.
VI. The Fundamental Issues.
In the présent situation in China, there are two kinds of deve-
lopments going on. To understand the situation right, we need to differen-
tiate between the two and attach to each the correct significance. hore
is, first a fundamental process unfolding in China's national lite and then,
second, there are the particular manifestations of this fundamental pro cess.
The fundamental process I will call the Process of Nation-making.
China, as a nation, in the modern senee of the term does nob exist, She
is, so far, still an aggregate of families just beginning to be conscious of
nationhood. Hitherto, the unit of Chinese political thought is the fami Ly
end not the nation ond the unit of political relationship is the family
tie rather than the bond of citizenship. loayalty to the family is far more
an Gms
al tha, ity to the state tor the ordinary man. As long as this ig
cee it ie Guthipkeble that China can become democratised. Until the basis
of political thinking in China is shitted from the family to the state in
minds of the people, the work of the revoJution cannot be said to be com-
plete. At this very moment in our national life, we are sooing the birth
of this conception of the nation-state gradually superseding the conception
of the family-state. It needed al. these years of sufiering and turmoil to
force men's minds to this change. But ag last, this change is weil on its
way and daily gaining momentum. This is the fundamental issue wo neod to
yasp in order to understand the significance of what is happening in
hina today.
The revolution in 1911 was a change in political labels only un-
accompanished by a change in political concept. Whén Dr. Sun relinquished
his presidency in favor of Yuan Shih Kai, all hopes tow the montal change
digappeared. It has taken us ali these fifteen years to work back to the
point when the necessery memtal change begins to be passible again. We
may think, therefore, of the northward advance of the Nationalist Govern~
ment in 1926 as ushering in the second stage in the People's Revolution--
a revolthion essentially in the people's political thinking. This stage
will not be complete until this change in political idea&s and ideas have
permeated the mass of China's tour hundred millions. Even with all the
forces working in the country, this wilt take at Lleagt another decade.
Then and only then we ghall see the dawn of the third stage of the Peopie's
Revolution, the stage of national reconstmuction in our political and
social life along indigenous lines. ,
Now a word about the second phase of this fundamental process,
namely, the particular manifestations. By these, I am referring to incidents
like the Mey 4th Movement, th Washington Conference agitations, the Mey
50th shooting afttaixr, the boycott against Japan and now against Great Bri-
tain, the Kuo Ming Tang Drive, General Chiang Kai Sheh, Marshal Sun Chuan
Bang, Chang Tso Lin, Wu Pei Bu and Co. etc, hese are like the whiri~pools
and eddies carried on the surface of the main stream. The nation-making
is the main stream. The particular incidents and personalities I have just
mentioned are the whirl-pools and edaies. The main stream-is permanent
and irresistable in its omward sweep. The whirl-pools and eddies are
incidental and transient. Therefore, itis of the utmost importance that
we differentiate between these two phases of China's growth and refuse
vo be led astray by accepting the particular manitestations ag the whole
development. If we fall into this error, we shall become either pessi-
mists or violent partisans and this is good neither for our health nor
for our business.
This fundamental process of nation-making is essentially educa-
tional in nature, The term "educational" is hore used in its broadest
sense, Evekything which contributes to the process ot this process is
included in the term. The senseless strite petween the militarists is as
truly educationa: tor the people as the northern drive of the nationalist
armies. The onby ditference is that one is definitely blocking and de-
jaying the process while the other ig heiping forwayd the cause, There
is no question whatever as to which ms the support of the people's will
and arrection. Today, the militerists are held in universal exocration
White the netionaiist Kuo Ming Tang, with its communistic left wing and
all,is hailed as saviougss of China. Prom this, it ought to be ciear to
us that persons and organizations in China today suspected by the peo-
ple of biocking the free development of this tunament al process will have
wale
their usefulness seriously aixected and even their continued existence
¢iveatened. The same would be true of governments and nationa.
VII. Britain's position in China. ;
Many British friends of mine have asked me during the past yearm
the question "Why is Great Britain so unpooular in China today?" There
are several answomto this question.
Ll. Great Britain is looked upon by the politicians of China
aguthe leader of the exploiting nations. If we can force a change of
policy on the pa rt of britain, the other nations will follow suit.
2. To Britain, China has always been a "market". Everything
must be sacrificed for trade. British merchant ships must be allowed to
move freely in inland waterways even where there is wax. If they can
not go in peacefully, the British navy is called upon for escort duty.
China's struggle in her atvempt to work out her problems are nothing
but interruptions to normal trade. The Chinese deeply resent this
attiéude.
6. Britain, rightly ov wrongly, is looked upon by the Chinese
people as being persistently antagonistic to the nationalist aspirations
of China. Wor this impression, Britain has her own press in China to
thank. Three principéal British papers in Shanghai, Tientsin and Hankow
have with blind pertinacity misread the signs of times and poured ridi-
cule and contumely on the nationalist cause. It is true that the tons
of the Brisish press in China is now beginning to change but untortunate~
ly the damage to international understanding is already done. But for
this, I believe Lampson's famous memorandum would not have tallen as
flat as it did in China.
VIII. @he Church in the Present Situation.
The Christian Church in China today is being attacked mainiy
along four lines. First, the Church is attacked because of the foreign
nature in her organization, administration, pergonnel and support. she
is denounced as the agent of foreign exploitation in China, In this xx
line of uttack one hearg distinctly the voice of the Hationalist. The
attack is not so much on religion here as on foreign influence in reli-
gion, Second, the Church is attacked as an instrument of capitalism
created by the capitalist c&aass for the sole purpose of ttockug drugeing
the mind and lulling the spirit of the submerged classes in society.
In this the communistic voice is speaking. Thir@, the Church is de-
nounced 2s un outworn institution, a relic of superstition and an op-
ponent of human progress. The atheist and the aggostic are speaking
in thts line of criticism. Pouthh, the Church is atvacked because me
she practises not that which she preaches. This is the most common
critisism of the man on the street.
Two Christien institutions are being singled out for particular
atitack at this time. These are, first Bhe schools and colleges and
second, the Y. M. G. A.
The attack on the Christian educational institutions takes two
forms. These two forms are expressed in the two popular slogans of the
Kuo Mding Tang = "Recovery of Educational Rights" and "Down with Christian
Schools", The firs’ slogan embodies the program requiring the regis-
tration of Christian schools with the Government. @he conditiona of re-
gistration are (4) a Chinese Pr incipai. (B) no compulsory attendance in
religious servicos. (C).the Bible to be excludad from the curriculum.
(D) © Chinese board of control. (2) supervision by Government educational
authoritios, Generally Speaking, Chinese Christians are heartily in
favor of this program.
want Geen
The siogan "Down with Christian schools" expresses the deter~
mination of unother group in ¢he country inspired by the Left wing of
the Kuo Ming Tang to put an end to all Chrbtien schools. The method
used is to try end break up the Christian school from within by utilising
disaffected students and ambitious but credulous teachers. Already in
quite a tew cities, Christian schools have been broken up. With this
rogram, Chinese Christians can have nothing to do. It directly con~
$ravences the vight of any citizen to establish private schools.
The Y. Me CG. &. hag been enrly singled out by the ant i-Christ-
ign group for destruction. Tho chiet method used so tar is to cut off
the membership of the Y. i. C, aA, thereby cutting off the source of sup~
port. as the Y. il, C. a. 's dn local centers are entirely dependent upen
‘Loca subscriptions, the prospect before them is an extremely sexious
one.
The fundamental igsue bofore the Craistien group iin this
situation, however, is not so much to preserve and gave this or that
particular institution. The veal iseue at stake is the question of
religious freedom. This freedom must be preserved at all costs and
Chinese Christians will be well advised if their main attention end
pest offort are centered on safeguerding this point.
In conclusion muy I add that there never was a time in Chine
when people's hearts are bowling with more hope than today. Hor the
iret time in the last £itteen years, glimmerings of a possible solu-
tion to our problem is visible on the horizon. The atmosphere around |
us strongly reminds us of the Revolution days in 191i. Expectancy and j
hops are in the oir and a forward move is now possible.
