20 avr. 1925 - Attempted Assassination of Liao Zhongkai

Description:

Liao Zhongkai was notably in favour of maintaining close relations with the Commune of France as well as the Chinese Syndicalist movement, which was strongly opposed by the KMT right wing, backed principally by the New Guanxi clique. Liao was nearly assassinated before a Kuomintang Executive Committee meeting on August 20. Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei seized the opportunity to execute Xu Chongzhi and Hu Hanmin after finding evidence of their involvment. The Rightists repudiated these claims, with a steady exodus of the right to the safety of Yunnan alongside Tang. However, the party remains unified, with no split occurring as of yet – Chinese Unification came first.
