CUHK Series:The Night Cometer: A Personal Study of Communist Techniques in China

by Kuo-chen Wu

This book is a biographically history review. The writer analyzes the merits and shortcomings of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Kuomintang (KMT) and examines why such a weak CCP could vanquish the US-supported KMT in a monographic way. It is generally believed that the profound ideology of Communism, cult from Chinese, tactical strategies and the Mao’s “omnipotence” were the cruxes for the CCP to conquer the sovereignty of China from the KMT, on the one hand. On the other hand, dictatorship and severe corruption were another common belief of the causes leading the KMT to be defeated.
