"Chiang Kai Shek who proclaims himself the genuine follower of the President, hag proved himself counter-revolutionary. His reactionary movements in the past are too numerous to give an exhaustive account.
Immediately after he left the Whampoa Academy, he colluded with a handful of students to stabilize his own position and power, He secretly helped the Sunyatsenist Association to disturbance ,causing the Chung Shan cruiser incident on March 20, last year, and the departure of Comrade Wang Ching-wei, who is the only successor of the President and who is most respected by the revolutionary masses. He prevented also the Central Kuomintang and the Nationalist Government to remove to Hupeh, monopolizing the party affairs, violating the party organization, frustrating the party discipline and practising dictatorship."
After describing how Chiang Kai Shek had, by appointment, taken possession of all departments of the party through his personal friends, the article continues:
"He secretly employed men to destroy the various provincial, sectional, and overseas party organizations, despatching soldiers to disperse the Canton Municipal Kuomintang, and harboring all reactionary elements . . . . Since the revolutionary army occupied Kiangsi, he has dispersed the Kiangsi Provincial Kuomintang with no reasons, and supported the old and indiscreet Chang Ching Ki-ang and Wong Fu . . . . He has entered into collusion with the Fengtien and Shantung militarists to frustrate the diplomatic policy of the Nationalist Government, disavowing the reclamation of Hankow with the purpose of compromising with the imperailists . . . . He has also changed the diplomatic policy, severing relations with Russia, entering into intimacy with Japan, and defaming the Russian advisors . . . . He intimidated the Central Executive Committee with military force, and secretly ordered Ni Pi, party representative of the First Division, to murder Chen Tsan Yen, chairman of the General Labor Union at Kanchow . . . . He dispersed the Nanchang Municipal Party, and ordered the arrest of its supervision committee, he attacked the Nanchang Students' Union, and ordered the arrest of its committee; butchered four responsible members of the Kuikiang Municipal Party and General Labor Union, devastated the Political Department of the Sixth Army; and secretly ordered the prohibition of the Hankow Min Kuo Jih Pao and Chow Kwong Pao.
… What is the difference between Chiang Kai Shek's murdering the workers at Kiukiang, and Wu Pei-fu's murdering the workers of Kin Han Railway, and between his poisoning party members and Chang Tsung-chang's killing the Nationalists at Tientsin?
