中共东京支部考论

An Examination of the Tokyo Branch of the Communist Party of China

中国共产党成立后,顺应国际共运洪流和开展海外活动的需要,在日本秘密设立了党组织——中共东京支部。由于日本政府的严密监控和镇压,中共东京支部的革命活动和人员往来虽然极其隐秘,但仍数度被毁、几经重建。面对重重困境,中共东京支部共产党人并没有放弃革命理想与信念,一方面积极学习和宣传马克思主义,秘密发展党员和扩大组织;另一方面,通过策划反日游行、搜集日军情报来支持祖国的革命与抗日战争,为祖国独立、民族解放和共产主义事业顽强奋斗。更为特殊的是,中共东京支部作为中共与日共联络的秘密渠道,在两党之间传递信息、联合游行、合作反战等方面也发挥了重要作用。

After the founding of the Communist Party of China, in order to meet the needs of the burgeoning international Communist movement and conduct overseas activities, the Tokyo branch of the Communist Party of China was set up in Japan. Due to the Japanese government’s strict surveillance and repression, the Tokyo branch, despite the secrecy of its revolutionary activities and movement of people, was destroyed and rebuilt several times. Confronted by these difficulties, the Tokyo branch’s Party members did not give up their revolutionary ideals and beliefs. On one hand, they actively studied and spread Marxism while secretly developing Party members and enlarging the organization. On the other, they planned anti-Japanese demonstrations and gathered information to support the homeland’s revolution and the Anti-Japanese War. They thus fought indomitably for the homeland’s independence, national revolution, and the Communist cause. In particular, they functioned as a secret channel between the Communist Party of China and the Japanese Communists. They thus played an important role in transmitting information, joint demonstrations, and cooperative anti-war activities.
