- The KMT’s act of self-humiliation is reminiscent of what happened in 1948, when it was being buffeted by the storm of the Chinese Civil War.
In January of that year, a group of KMT members established the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang (中國國民黨革命委員會), which supported the CCP’s call, as one of its “May Day slogans,” to establish a democratic coalition government.
In so doing, the committee sent a friendly message to the CCP.
Today, the committee is a subordinate organization of the CCP, with its headquarters on humble Donghuangchenggen S Street in Beijing’s Dongcheng District (東城).
