Wang Ming

Wang Ming is a governing member of the Communist Party of China, and the staunch political rival of Mao Zedong. He is a strong advocate for traditional Marxist-Leninism and Communism, and an opponent to Maoism and its growing movement. He is the mastermind behind the 28 Bolsheviks group, of which the General Secretary, Bo Gu, and his protégé, Zhang Wentian, are members of. His competition with Mao is the reason for the stagnation of the CPC in the Chinese Civil War.

Wang Ming believes that the methods of Bo Gu and Zhang to compromise with the Maoists is too lenient, and believes that the CPC should maintain its traditional Communist values. For the CPC to survive, therefore, Mao must be taken out of the picture entirely. Leadership under Wang Ming, for example, could see Mao assassinated and his movement wiped clean, with Wang taking the reins as the Chairman of a new Chinese Communist state.
