After communists were purged from the party in the Canton Coup in 1926, Chiang negotiated a compromise whereby hardline members of the rightist faction, such as Wu Tieh-cheng, were removed from their posts in compensation for the purged leftists in order to prove his usefulness to the CPC and their Soviet sponsor, Joseph Stalin[1][2]
