Kang Sheng

▪ Chinese leader
Wade-Giles romanization  K'ang Sheng , original name  Zhang Zongke , assumed name  Zhao Rong 
born 1898, Zhucheng, Shandong province, China
died Dec. 16, 1975, Beijing

      Chinese communist official who is considered to have been one of the three or four most powerful individuals in the government during the Cultural Revolution (1966–76).

      Most Chinese communist leaders belonged to the peasantry, but Kang was born into a large landholding family. After completing a Western education in Shanghai, he joined the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1925. As a labour organizer there, he led workers in several uprisings. Later he became director of the party's intelligence bureau. In July 1933 he went to the Soviet Union, where, except for a brief interval, he remained for seven years as an active participant in the Comintern, the Russian Communist Party's international organization. While staying in the Soviet Union, he became a member of the CCP's governing body, the Central Committee, and the committee's governing body, the Politburo (Political Bureau), for the first time in 1934. In 1937 he went to Yan'an, in Shaanxi province, where he took charge of the CCP's internal security operations; in 1945 he was again elected as a member of the party's Central Committee and the Politburo.

      After the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Kang occupied various party and governmental positions, several times accompanying Premier Zhou Enlai on diplomatic missions abroad. With the reorganization of the central administration in 1954, his importance declined, and in 1956 he was made an alternate rather than a full member of the Politburo, although he continued to be linked with the government's intelligence and security operations. With the beginning of the Cultural Revolution in 1966, however, he was reelected to the Politburo, and he became a member of its powerful five-man Standing Committee in 1969. In 1970 his name was listed just below that of Zhou Enlai in official party pronouncements, and in 1973 he was made third vice-chairman of the party. However, in 1980, five years after his death, his name was removed from the CCP because of his close relationship with the Gang of Four during the Cultural Revolution.
