Productive People's Party
The Productive People's Party (Chinese: 生产人民党) was a short-lived leftist political party formed during the Fujian Rebellion in November 1933. It was formed by officers of the National Revolutionary Army's 19th Route Army. They were disaffected by Chiang Kai-shek's domination of both the Kuomintang and the Republic of China. The party's general secretary was Chen Mingshu.
