6th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party

The 6th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party was held from June 18 - July 11, 1928.

Because the Nationalist Government of China had recently begun a massive wave of persecution against members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the Congress was held in Moscow.

The 6th Central Committee's First Plenum in turn chose Xiang Zhongfa as General Secretary and elected the 6th Politburo.
