The Rise and Development of the Workers' Movement in China (Background and Reasons)
Under the influence of the Russian October Revolution, after the May 4th Movement, China produced a group of intellectuals who were determined to serve the working class and strive for the development of the workers' movement. At the same time, a large-scale labor movement appeared, which prepared the conditions for the establishment of proletarian political parties. Because the development of the workers' movement must be led by the proletarian party.

China * * * production party is the product of combining Marxism with China workers' movement. There are many factors for the birth of China * * Production Party in Shanghai: Shanghai is the largest industrial and commercial city in modern China and one of the economic and cultural centers. Shanghai's productivity level is in a leading position in the whole country, with the concentration of the working class, the development of the labor movement, the gathering of revolutionary forces and the spread of Marxism.

Extended data:

Shanghai is the birthplace of the workers' movement. 1859, the dockers in Shanghai opposed the plundering of Chinese workers by western pirates and launched the workers' struggle for the first time. 1862 in March, Shanghai tea packaging workers went on strike to raise their wages, and in August of the same year, laundry workers protested against raising their wages.

1868 10 The strike of workers at the British-owned Yesong Shipyard against wage cuts is the earliest recorded economic struggle of industrial workers. By 1894, the spontaneous struggle of the working class is still in a relatively low and primitive stage, with a small scale and short time, and the struggle of industrial workers has not yet occupied a dominant position.

From 1895 to 19 13, the struggle of the working class entered the primary stage of development, and the frequency and number of strikes increased greatly, and the number of strikes by industrial workers exceeded that of non-industrial workers. From 19 14 to 19 19, the struggle of the working class began to rise. Strike struggles are becoming more and more frequent, the number of strikes is increasing, the number of union strikes is increasing gradually, the struggle is fierce, and the organization and struggle mode of strikes are constantly improving.

In the practice of struggle, the working class gradually realized that it was necessary to organize a political party representing its own class interests to lead the struggle. The growth of the workforce and the development of struggle laid a class foundation for the May 4th Movement to step onto the political stage and the establishment of the China * * * Production Party after the May 4th Movement. Shanghai is also the earliest window for Marxism to spread to China.
