Because NLD put forward the plan of establishing a national republic (bourgeois republic) in China, it reflected the requirements of the general bourgeoisie and urban petty bourgeoisie (including intellectuals, small businessmen, craftsmen and freelancers) that make up NLD.

The essence of the middle line is: China's political line demanding the establishment of a republic in China during the new-democratic revolution.

1947, the Kuomintang government brazenly declared NLD an "illegal organization", 1 1 year, and NLD headquarters was forced to dissolve. Local organizations and NLD members went underground to fight. This also marks the disillusionment of the middle route. Under the influence and leadership of the * * * Production Party of China, the vast number of members of the former China Democratic League continued to advance and carry out the revolution to the end.

Give up the middle route completely:

1948 On April 30th, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "May 1st Slogan", which was warmly responded and actively supported by all democratic parties and Democrats without party affiliation. It is an important symbol of the democratic parties' public announcement that they consciously accept the leadership of the China Producer Party and strive for the establishment of a new China.

The "May 1st Slogan" educated and inspired all democratic parties and Democrats without party affiliation, and laid the foundation for cooperation of the new political party system. Responding to the "May 1st slogan", launching the new CPPCC movement is a self-education movement consciously carried out by all democratic parties and Democrats without party affiliation at the call of the Producers' Party of China to consolidate the people's democratic United front.

After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, the Kuomintang government declared NLD an "illegal" organization, and democratic parties such as China Revolutionary Party, Democratic Progressive Party, Agricultural Workers' Party, Democratic National Construction Association, Jiu San Society and Democratic Progressive Party were also forced to go underground. This harsh reality mercilessly declared the bankruptcy of the central line.

With the release of the "May 1st" slogan, those democratic parties that failed to take the middle road and were completely disappointed with the one-party dictatorship and reactionary rule of the Kuomintang complied with the trend of the times and historical development, and completely abandoned the middle line when the revolutionary situation in China changed greatly.

The advanced nature of China's * * production party in the struggle for national independence and people's liberation, as well as the cohesion generated by China's * * * production party's United front principles and policies, made them finally choose China * * production party, embarked on the new democratic road of accepting the leadership of China * * production party, and laid the cooperative foundation of the new party system.
