The answer was Yes and no one has read Trotsky
the CPC was a proletarian party in the estimation of the third internationale leadership and left opposition without question. They even led insurrections themselves at various points, such as those in Canton.
The main disagreement was that the CPC largely followed the general Comintern line of Zinoviev and later Bukharin, who both believed China wasn’t advanced enough for the national revolutions to turn on the communists. This is why the party was allied with the KMT, due to their perceived antiformist character. But China was far more advanced than the CPC initially believed, and the KMT would massacre the proletarian leadership leading to Mao’s ascension and the party being liquidated. This occurred in 1927 and was called the “Shanghai Massacre”.
In short, most people here seem to hold the vague opinion that China Bad and therefore they don’t really know anything about China other than “grrrr me hate China me leftcoom”. This obviously is not the case, though the Chinese made tactical errors.
China were not genetically reactionary any more than any race can be genetically proletarian to a leftist. Once again I’m pretty surprised no one googled or just scrolled down to the comment section for the correct answers.
The purge will be far crueler than before inshallah
