12 After the end of the First World War, the movement of decolonization had been actively developing in the
1920s, the “abolition of unequal treaties” movement had also been unfolded in China. Which of the
following is incorrect?
(A) Dr. Sun Yat-Sen announced the declaration of the first Kuomingtang National Assembly in Guangzhou
in 1924, calling for abolishing the unequal treaties.
(B) In May 1925, lots of Chinese students went on a demonstration because some Chinese workers were
shot by a Japanese factory owner over the industrial disputes. The British police caused injuries and
deaths in the Shanghai Settlement on May 3rd. The incident is known as “May 3rd Massacre,” resulting
in the demand of abolishing unequal treaties.
(C) While the disputes between foreign factory owners and Chinese labors deteriorated in 1925, the
Guangzhou Revolutionary Government mobilized a series of strikes, which lasted for 16 months.
Consequently, Hong Kong economy was in depression and hit the British business activity heavily.

Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi Provinces, the Nationalist Government retrieved the British Settlement in
Hankou and Jiujiang, and the anti-imperialism movement reached its climax.
