The Roots of Lies: The CCP's Espionage Origins — Created by Spies, Not Spontaneous

People are often indoctrinated with a narrative that communist ideology is great, that it naturally inspired the global working class, and that communist parties were spontaneously established everywhere. In fact, this is merely a carefully crafted story by the Chinese Communist Party to conceal its own origins. Tracing back to the source, what we see is not "spontaneous awakening," but naked money transfers and espionage operations.

I. Lenin's German-Funded Origins

In 1917, World War I was raging. The German Empire understood that to win the war, they had to get Russia to withdraw from the Eastern Front. So they bet on Lenin, a revolutionary in exile in Switzerland. The German Emperor's intelligence service arranged for Lenin to board a "sealed train," escorting him all the way back to Russia and providing him with funding of up to 50 million gold marks. The scale of this funding was sufficient at the time to support a comprehensive subversion operation.

Lenin used German funds to build propaganda machines, organize worker strikes, and bribe the military, ultimately overthrowing the Tsarist regime and establishing the Bolshevik government. In other words, the birth of Bolshevism was not a "spontaneous liberation movement" of the Russian people, but a strategic tool manufactured by Germany.

II. The Soviet Replication Model

After the Tsar's family was executed, the Bolsheviks inherited the state machinery of a declining empire. Rather than being a nation-state, it was more like a "revolutionary intelligence headquarters."

Domestically, they established the Cheka—one of the world's earliest modern secret police forces. The Cheka specialized in assassination, surveillance, and terror suppression, enabling the Bolsheviks to firmly grasp power. Internationally, they established the Comintern, using funds, agents, and propaganda as tools to directly foster communist parties in various countries.

The Comintern, established in 1920, was nominally a "federation of the global proletariat," but in essence was a transnational espionage and subversion network. Communist parties in various countries were almost all directly funded, planned, and controlled by the Soviet Union. Money, weapons, advisors, secret radio stations—this was the real source of the so-called "revolutionary spark."

III. The CCP's True Origins

The CCP's establishment followed this same pattern. In 1921, the story of "a group of Shanghai youth spontaneously studying Marxism" was just an illusion. The real operators were agents sent by the Comintern: Maring, Voitinsky, and later Borodin, who became deeply involved.

In the 1920s, the Soviet Union established the Comintern Far Eastern Bureau in Shanghai, specifically responsible for infiltration and organizational work in East Asia. The CCP was merely one of its subsidiary branches. The joint declaration between Sun Yat-sen and Joffe, the presence of Soviet advisors at the Whampoa Military Academy, and the overall design of Kuomintang-CCP cooperation all point to one thing: the CCP was from the beginning a spy organization established by the Soviet Union in the Far East, not an "independent party of the Chinese nation."

IV. Fabricated National Narrative

After the Soviet Union's collapse, the CCP faced a legitimacy crisis. If it acknowledged that it was a product of the Soviet Union, its ruling foundation in China would collapse. Therefore, it had to rewrite history and fabricate a "national spontaneous" story:

Diluting the Comintern's manipulation into "international assistance";

Packaging sporadic worker movement disturbances as "spontaneous awakening";

Disguising "Soviet colonial agents" as "vanguard of the Chinese nation."

Thus, today's textbooks are filled with "the May Fourth Movement nurtured Marxist youth" and "the Communist Party originated from the conscious choice of the Chinese working class." All of this is to conceal its true origins.

Conclusion

The communist movement was never a wave of idealism, but a global espionage operation:

Germany manufactured Lenin;

The Soviet Union replicated the Bolshevik model, using the Cheka to suppress domestically and the Comintern to control overseas;

The CCP was one of the most successful agents of the Far Eastern Bureau.

After the Soviet Union collapsed, the CCP had only one survival strategy: tampering with memory, making people believe it was a "spontaneous national party." However, historical evidence reminds us that its roots lie not in the nation, but in lies.
