Nevertheless, this fad for researching China which was led by the Communist Party was in fact only concerned with the future of communism in China. The vast majority of "China specialists" were practitioners participating in Chinese affairs. They hoped to use the Russian communist experience and the Communist International Line to change China.
但由蘇共主導的這股研究中國熱潮，實際上關心的只是共產主義在中國的前途，大部分的「中國通」都以實踐家的身分參與中國事務，希望以俄共的經驗和共產國際路線來改變中國。
