A Revisitation to the Problem of CPC Delegate to the San Francisco Conference
The attendance of Dong Biwu at the San Francisco Conference in 1945 was a significant event in the history of the War of Resistance Against Japan and modern Chinese diplomacy.However,the process for the Communist Party of China(CPC)to obtain the right of attendance was fraught with difficulties.During the later stages of the negotiations between the Kuomintang(KMT)and the CPC,the then U.S.Ambassador to China Patrick J.Hurley showed partiality towards the Kuomintang administration and was against the CPC delegates attending the San Francisco Conference in order to cope with the aftermath of"Stilwell Incident".With the secret agreement reached between the US and the Soviet Union on Far Eastern issues at the Yalta Conference,and Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai's strong opposition to the one-party rule of the KMT,senior US officials ultimately changed their stance and urged Chiang Kai-shek to include at least one CPC member in the Chinese delegation.The KMT government's compromise and concession concealed a complex strategy to contain CPC,while the countermeasures from the Yan'an reflected the CPC's profound considerations regarding the country's development prospects in the later stages of the resistance against Japan.
