The Natinalist Party also created an army in 1925 and created along the communist party a new chinese government in 1927 after the fall of the Beiyang government, in Beijing.

Instead of reshaping its priorities to fit the expectations of a changing society, the KMT (at least for the moment) seems to be doubling down on its self-marginalizing approach. The new party chair is Hung Hsiu-chu, the erstwhile presidential candidate whose far-right views made it necessary to replace her.
