It helped foster the development of the chinese civil service test of confucian thought. Kuomintang (kmt): chinese nationalist party, slowly grew in strength under the leadership of sun yat-sen. The party was aided by student protests in 1919. Nationalist revolts rejected foreign interference in china and called for modernization, radical reform and a break with traditional values and institutions, including confucianism. Chinese communist party (ccp): formed in 1921 by leaders of the may fourth movement (student protests). Adhering to marx/lenin"s principles sought to organize china"s working class to resist the exploitation of both foreign imperialist and domestic warlords. Mao zedong: communist leader, believed that a communist revolution could be won by building a revolutionary army out of the peasant class.
