Bo Gu

Bo Gu, or Po Ku, originally born Qin Bangxian, is the incumbent General Secretary of the Communist Party of China. A member of the 28 Bolsheviks, Bo Gu took the reins as leader during the expansion of the CPC and the start of the infighting between the traditional Communists and the newly rising Maoist movement. His leadership since has been unstable as much as it has been fulfilling; while the CPC has seen expansion in the West under his command, infighting between Wang Ming and Mao Zedong has left his position widely criticised.

Bo Gu has several options ahead of him. To maintain power, he'd need to form a consensus between the Maoists and the traditionalists; whether that be give concessions to one side, or potentially punish both. If Bo Gu himself cannot do it, then his protégé, Zhang Wentian, might be able to, lest he sees his Communist Party fall into the grips of Wang Ming with Mao out of the picture, or see it embrace Maoism as its true way forward.
