So far as I for one have read on these matters, the latest statements by Sun Yat-sen about the marxian ideology leave little room for doubt as to his stances on anything like the later Maoist encroachments upon China.

Follow some notes from the authoress' book, this might shed some side-light on what was actually going on over there. (WPT).

From The strange apotheosis of Sun Yat-sen by "Saggitarius", 1939

Kuomintang rule in China has witnessed the rapid ascendancy of what has become known as the �Soong Dynasty.� In 1916 Dr. Sun Yat-sen divorced his wife, Lu Szu, to whom he had been married in accordance with Chinese custom—and without any voice in the matter—in 1866, and married a Miss Ching-ling Lung (better known as Soong Ching-ling) a graduate of McTyiere School in Shanghai, and of Wesley College in America. She came of a wealthy Christian family. In due course an elder sister, Soong Ai-ling married Dr. H. H. Kung, and in 1927 her younger sister, Soong Mei-ling, was married to General Chiang Kai-shek. Madame Sun Yat-sen quarreled with the rest of the family and temporarily withdrew to Moscow, after the breach with the Communists in 1927. Later she returned and took up her residence in the French Concession at Shanghai, though remaining in opposition to the Nanking regime. She was one of the few Chinese who could criticize the Chinese Government with impunity, as her former relationship to Sun Yat-sen made it impossible for her to be disciplined, however outspoken her attacks on her brother-in-law and other Nanking leaders.

The Soong daughters had two brothers, Sung Tsu-wen (T. V. Soong) and Sung Tzu-liang (T. L. Soong). The former, a graduate of Harvard, was Minister of Finance of the Canton, and subsequently of the Nanking, Government. He gave up this position, on account of differences of opinion with General Chiang Kai-shek on the financing of military operations, in 1933, and was then appointed Governor of the Central Bank, Chairman of the Bank of China, and an Executive Member of the national Economic Council. Dr. H. H. Kung, his brother-in-law, succeeded him as Minister of Finance. The younger brother, T. L. Soong, was also given various important financial appointments, including those of Manager of the China Development Finance Corporation, and Commissioner of Finance of Kwangtung. Thus the executive, military and financial authority in China centred in members by descent or by marriage of the Soong family. Madame Kung is reputed to the ablest of the three sisters, especially in financial matters, and rumour has connected her with many extensive market operations. The Soong clique is undoubtedly the wealthiest and most powerful group of individuals in China, but the nepotism for which it has been responsible (vide the position of T. L. Soong, and the appointment of a son of Dr. Kung, scarcely out of his teens as Director of the official Bank of Communications), has not served to inspire public confidence, or popularity.

Of the other members of the Sun Yat-sen family the only one who counts to-day is Sun Fo, his only son by his first wife. Generally known as �the Crown Prince� he is reputed to have amassed a fortune when Mayor of Canton (1921-4). He has held office as President of the Executive Yuan since February, 1932.

Hu Han-min, who was by many regarded as the senior of Sun Yat-sen�s disciples, after being detained at Nanking because of a disagreement with Chiang Kai-shek for about eight months in 1931, was released and went South. He remained an uncompromising critic of the Nanking Government until his death, shortly after returning from a visit to Europe, at Canton in May, 1936.

Wang Ching-wei, who was perhaps Sun Yat-sen�s favourite disciple, has wavered between leftist and rightist tendencies ever since the Kuomintang came into power. Because of his connec5tion with the Yen-Feng revolt in 1930 he was formally expelled from the Kuomintang, but he was reinstated in 1931, and has since, in general, cooperated with the Generalissimo. He has suffered from diabetes for many years, and after he had been seriously wounded by a political assassin in November, 1935, he went abroad to recuperate. Since his return he has been Chairman of the Political Council. He is commonly credited with opposition to the policy of armed resistance to Japan, though he has remained a member of the Government since the outbreak of hostilities.*

      * Wang Ching-wei fled from Chungking to Hanoi, in French Indo-China, in December, 1928, and there issued an appeal for peace by negotiation with Japan. He was promptly denounced as a �Traitor,� expelled from the Kuomintang and deprived of all his official positions in the Government.
