  21. “Personal file of Wang Ming,” quoted in Pantsov and Levine, Mao, p. 539. A central
    argument of the Pantsov and Levine volume is that Mao was as “pro-Soviet” as any other
    CCP leader.

  23. 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.
