The party was officially founded in the Shanghai French Concession on 9 August 1930,[1] leading it to become a cohesive entity under Deng Yanda, who organized it under democratic centralism like both the Nationalists and Communists. Deng was secretly executed by Chiang Kai-shek in 1931 and the party went underground.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
