During the Anti-Rightist Campaign in 1957,Zhang Bojun was recognized as the representative of anti-communist right-wings by the Chinese Communist Party.As a result,he faced severe criticism.However,over a long period of history,Zhang was also regarded as a left-wing,and had even supported the CCP.He chose to support the CCP’s armed struggle against the Kuomintang from 1948, participated in the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949,served as the Minister of Transport in the Central People’s Government.
The purpose of this paper is to analyze Zhang Bojun’s understanding on democracy until 1949, and by examining the transformation of his views on democracy,to investigate the Zhang Bojun’s ideological characteristics,which made him a leftist.
Zhang’s main argument is that a planned economy was not suitable for China at that time, what China needed was state capitalism. That is the main reason why he criticized the CCP. However, the CCP also adjusted its policies. In particular, the theory of New Democracy, which is presented by Mao Zedong,greatly changed Zhang’s perspective on the CCP.This theory played a significant role in bringing him closer to the CCP.
