Was wondering what the sinophiles could ponder with regards to politics in China without a Bolshevik Revolution, or at least a failed one.
Reading up on interwar China, the political flow seems generally left-wing and quite fluid for some time, with Lenin nuzzling Sun Yat-Sen while also setting up a Chinese Communist Party.
Would the absense of Marxist-Leninism see the KMT remain the centre of left-wing radicalism or would other groups form anyway? Would the KMT, possibly bouyed up by would-be Leninists end up spliting between left and right factions?
