China Democratic Union (Chongguo min-zhu tong-meng)

Japanese: 中国民主同盟 - ちゅうごくみんしゅどうめい（英語表記）Zhong-guo min-zhu tong-meng

One of the Chinese democratic parties. Its abbreviation is Minle. Its predecessor was the China Democratic Political League (Chairman Huang Yanpei), which was established in Chongqing in March 1941, and changed its name to the current one in September 1944. It held its first national congress in October 1945, elected Zhang Lan as chairman, and announced political positions such as convening meetings of the various parties, establishing a coalition government, and building a democratic nation. In January 1946, it participated in the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, forming a cooperative relationship with the Chinese Communist Party delegation and opposing the Kuomintang's one-party dictatorship. It was outlawed and dissolved by the Nationalist government in October 1947, but was re-established in Hong Kong in January 1948 and participated in the first plenary session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in September 1949. Under the Communist Party regime, the organization was destroyed due to suspicions of criticism of the Communist Party during the Anti-Rightist Movement and the Cultural Revolution, and ceased operations. It was revived in October 1979 with its 4th National Congress, and shifted the focus of its work to serving the construction of socialist modernization. Since the 1980s, it has been carrying out multifaceted activities, positioning the dissemination of scientific knowledge as the key to eradicating poverty. Most of its members are middle- to high-level intellectuals. Its journal is Gungen.

中国民主諸党派の1つ。略称は民盟。前身は 1941年3月重慶で成立した中国民主政団同盟 (主席黄炎培) で，44年9月現在の名称に変更。 45年 10月第1回全国代表大会を開催，張瀾を主席に選出し，各党派による会議の招集，連合政府の樹立，民主国家建設などの政治主張を発表。翌 46年1月政治協商会議に参加，中国共産党代表団と協力関係に入り，国民党の一党独裁に反対した。 47年 10月国民政府によって非合法化され解散するが，48年1月ホンコンで再建，49年9月の中国人民政治協商会議第1回全体会議に参加。共産党政権下では，反右派闘争と文化大革命で共産党批判の嫌疑で組織は壊滅状態に陥り，活動停止。 79年 10月に第4回全国代表大会を開催して復活し，工作の重点を社会主義現代化建設への奉仕に移行させた。 80年代以降，科学知識の普及を貧困駆逐のための鍵と位置づけ，多面的な行動を行う。会員の多くは中高級知識分子。機関誌は『群言』。
