History
edit
The China Zhi Gong Party derives from the overseasHung Societyorganization "Hung Society Zhigong Hall" or "Chee Kung Tong",based inSan Francisco,United States. This organization was one of the key supporters ofSun Yat-senin his revolutionary efforts to overthrow theQing dynasty.
The party was founded on 10 October 1925 in San Francisco, and was led byChen JiongmingandTang Jiyao,two ex-Kuomintangwarlordsthat went into opposition. Their first platform wasfederalismandmulti-party democracy.The party moved its headquarters to the then-British colony ofHong Kongin 1926. After theJapanese invasion of Manchuriain 1931 it began engaging in anti-Japanese propaganda and boycotts. The party was nearly wiped out during theJapanese occupation of Hong Kong.The party turned to the left during its third party congress in 1947.[1][non-primary source needed]
On 21 September 1949, just before theproclamation of the People's Republic of China,representatives of the CZGP attended thefirst plenary Session of the CPPCCat the invitation of the CCP. They participated in drawing up theCommon Programand electing theCentral People's Government.As part of the CCP's reorganization of the minor aligned parties, the CZGP was designated as the party of returnedoverseas Chinese,their relatives, and noted figures and scholars who have overseas ties.[2]
The Zhi Gong Party is sometimes used as an intermediary for contacts with certain foreign interests. For example, when a delegation ofParaguayanpoliticians visited Beijing in 2001 and metLi Peng(despite Paraguay having diplomatic relations not with PRC butwith ROC in Taiwan), it was invited not by the PRC government or the CCP, but by the Zhi Gong Party.[3]
In April 2007,Wan Gang,Deputy Chair of the Zhi Gong Party Central Committee, was appointedMinistry of Science and Technology.This was the first non-CCP ministerial appointment in China in 35 years.[4]
