KEY STAGES IN THE EVOLUTION OF THE KUOMINTANG'S GENDER POLICY
Gender inequality in the form of discrimination against women has existed in Chinese society since ancient times. The founder of the Kuomintang Party, Sun Yat-sen, supported the principle of gender equality and in 1912, immediately after the victory of the Xinhai Revolution, insisted that it be included in the draft Constitution. In 1924, the Kuomintang recognized the need to "emancipate women's rights on the basis of the principle of equality between men and women in the law, economy, education, and society."

Chinese women have experienced all sorts of social upheavals and transformations, from civil war, revolution and socialist transformation, to the left - wing politics of the "late Mao" era to modernization in the post-Maoist era (Honig and Hershatter, 1988, p. 8). Gender discrimination cannot be reduced to a"women's issue". The gender approach helps to understand the relationship between official ideology and generally accepted society3 values, social and economic development [Honig and Hershatter, 1988, p. 11; Li Xiaojiang, 1988, p. 73; Sinetskaya, 2008, p.15, 219]. 1 The C ...
