8 - Conclusion

Summary

As the conclusion of this book, I highlight the CYP as a strong historical reference for those wishing to understand the historical evolution of the ideological perceptions and practices of the radical right in the twentieth century. First, I look at the Chinese political right in the early twentieth-century world, ideologically formed in the wake of the Great War. I also discuss the political right in twentieth-century China through a comparison with the short-lived Blue Shirts of the GMD in the 1930s and the right-turning CCP of Contemporary China. Finally, I highlight the CYP’s political fate in the post-1949 years with a brief reflection on the present day as final remarks of this book.
