Taiwanese Communist Party

The communist party of Taiwan under Japanese rule, founded in the French Concession of Shanghai in April 1928 by Xie Xuehong, Lin Mu-shun and others as the Taiwanese national branch of the Japanese Communist Party, under the guidance of the Chinese party. Its Political Thesis called for Taiwanese independence from Japan and a workers' and peasants' republic; it led the left wing of the Taiwanese Cultural Association and the Peasants' Union until the colonial police destroyed it in 1931. Its programmes survive in the police records of the Government-General; the works below were written by its members.
