argument of the Pantsov and Levine volume is that Mao was as “pro-Soviet” as any other
CCP leader. - Gao Wenqian, Zhou Enlai: The Last Perfect Revolutionary, New York: Public
Affairs, 2007, p. 6. - Pantsov and Levine suggest that a “Xian Incident”–style kidnapping of Mao by the
Wuhan leaders was in Mao’s mind at this juncture. The “Xian Incident” occurred in late
1936 when two Chinese warlords seized Chiang Kai-shek and demanded he shift policy
and join with the CCP to confront Japan. - Gottlieb, Foreign Policy Factionalism, pp. 50–1.
