Major Contents: The congress adopted and issued a
declaration. Based on Lenin's theories on national and
colonial questions and the examinations of the basic
questions of the Chinese revolution made since the founding
of the CPC, the declaration analyzed the world situation and
the semi-colonial and semi-feudal nature of the Chinese
society, expounded the character, motive force and targets
of the Chinese revolution and formulated the minimum and
maximum programs of the Party. It pointed out that the
Chinese revolution was a democratic revolution against
imperialism and feudalism, and the motive powers of the
revolution were proletariat, peasants and other petty
bourgeoisie. The objectives of the minimum program included
eliminating internal disorder and overthrowing the warlords
to achieve peace in the country; overthrowing oppression by
the world's imperialists to gain complete independence for
the Chinese nation. The objectives set by the maximum
program were: to organize the proletariat to establish the
dictatorship by workers and peasants by means of class
struggles, eliminate the system of private ownership and
gradually move into the communist society. For the first
time in modern China, the congress set forth a program of
democratic revolution, opposing imperialism and feudalism,
and thus it unequivocally stated the tasks and orientation
of the Chinese revolution. It also adopted the Constitution
of the CPC.
The Central Executive Committee of the Party composed of
Chen Duxiu, Zhang Guotao, Cai Hesen, Gao Junyu and Deng
Zhongxia were elected, with Chen Duxiu serving as the
chairman of the committee. (Source: People's Daily
