This page claims that Voitinsky is considered to be the “chief architect” (in quotes misleadingly insinuating that the source is being directly quoted which it isn’t) in founding the CCP yet the source given doesn’t justify this claim. The full quote from The Origins of Chinese Communism on page 191 is as follows: “Stress on organization underlines the part Voitinsky played as architect of the Party, and draws attention to the fact that Chen Duxiu, not Li Dazhao, played the key role in the founding of the Communist party of China.” While Voitinsky is considered an important figure in the initial organization of the party the source is clear that Chen played a much more important role in the parties founding and that neither Voitinsky nor his colleague Henk Sneevliet could have accomplished anything in terms of organization if not for what had solidly developed locally by the native Chinese people years before the assistance of any foreign influence. I would propose that either a better source is found to justify this claim that Voitinsky was the “chief architect”, in founding the CCP, or the sentence be reworded to more accurately reflect the source given, or the claim be removed entirely.
