Dai Jitao Thought

Dai Jitao Thought (Chinese: 戴季陶主義; pinyin: Dài Jìtáo Zhǔyì; Wade–Giles: Tai4 Chi4-t’ao2 Chu3-i4; lit.

'Dai-Jitao-ism') or Dai Jitao Doctrine[1] is an ideology based on the interpretation of the Tridemism by some Kuomintang members, including Dai Jitao, since Sun Yat-sen's death in March 1925.

Dai Jitao Thought became the ideological foundation of the right wing Kuomintang, including the Western Hills Group.

[2][3] Dai Jitao himself described it as "Pure Tridemism" (纯粹三民主义).

Dai Jitao opposed left-wing Kuomintang's Marxist interpretation of Sun's alleged concept of "Mínshēng" as a class struggle.
