After the founding of the Communist International, it clearly realized the reactionary and harmful nature of the newly emerged fascism, and formed a unique view of the class nature of fascism. Based on this, the Communist International put forward an anti-fascist strategy with distinctive “Communist Party characteristics”, and constantly adjusted its strategy in accordance with the development of the situation and the needs of the struggle. The Seventh Congress of the Communist International established the strategy of building abroad anti-fascist united front on a national and international scale, realizing a major strategic shift, which is of great significance in time and history. The Communist International’s understanding of fascism, its anti-fascist strategy and its change contributed to the formation of the CPC’s anti-Japanese national united front policy, and the implementation of this policy laid the foundation for the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
