Establishment of the Party
Under the guidance of the Comintern, the party was reorganized along
Leninist lines in 1923, in preparation for the Northern Expedition.
However, the nascent party was not held in high regard: Karl Radek, one
of the five founding leaders of the Comintern, said in November 1922 that
the CCP did not enjoy a high reputation in Moscow. Moreover, it was
divided into two camps, led by Deng Zhongxia and Li Dazhao on the more
moderate "bourgeois, national revolution" model and Zhang Guotao, Lou
Zhanglong, He Mengxiong and Chen Duxiu on the strongly anti-
imperialism side
