The major tasks
of the congress were to sum up the experiences learnt after
the failure of the First Great Revolution (June 1923-July
1927), analyze the nature of the revolution and the
political situation, work out the lines, guiding principles
and policies of the Party during a new period, to unite the
whole Party in thought and develop revolutionary forces. The
congress affirmed that Chinese society remained in nature a
semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and that the "Chinese
revolution at the present stage is by nature a bourgeois
democratic revolution". It formulated 10 programs of the
democratic revolution. It pointed out that the political
situation in China at that time was one between two
revolutionary high tides, and that the general task of the
Party was, therefore, not to attack and organize uprisings
but to win over the masses and prepare for insurrections.
The congress criticized both "Right" and "Left" opportunism,
especially putschist mistakes.
The congress elected the Sixth Central Committee composed of
23 members and 13 alternate members, which elected Xiang
Zhongfa, Zhou Enlai, Su Zhaozheng, Xiang Ying, Qu Qiubai,
Zhang Guotao and Cai Hesen into its Political Bureau, with
Xiang Zhongfa serving as the general secretary.
