The most prominent figures of Right KMT were [[File:ChiangKaiShek.png]] [[w:Chiang Kai-shek|Chiang Kai-shek]], [[File:Huhanmin.png]] [[w:Hu Hanmin|Hu Hanmin]] and his [[w:Western Hills Group|Western Hills Group]] (before his imprisonment), and [[File:Chiang-Ching-kuo.png]] [[w:Chiang Ching-kuo|Chiang Ching-kuo]]. The right KMT took a more [[File:Anticommunism.png]] {{PCBA|anti-communism|anti-communist}}, [[File:Authoritarian Conservatism.png]] [[Authoritarian Conservatism|socially conservative and authoritarian]] party line than the original KMT, but it continued Sun’s Georgist economic policies in Taiwan after it was defeated by the [[File:Mao.png]] [[Maoism|communists]] in Mainland China. It is also very anti-Japanese and Chinese nationalist in general.
Chiang’s government continued Northern Expedition after splitting with the communists in 1925 and unified China under the Nationalist Government in 1928 (Only nominally). A period of prosperity and modernization was experienced in China during the Nanking decade with the modernization of infrastructure and a focus on light industries such as the cotton industry, airlines, highways, and factories. China also had increased education, with schools built nationwide under nationalist rule. However, the achievement was somewhat limited as the nationalists only had limited control over the country, with warlords having de facto control over most parts of China and a raging communist rebellion. Periodical famines continued throughout China. The political tutelage stage was scheduled to end in 1937 with Sun’s ideal of constitutional democracy to be implemented. Still, the process was delayed till the 1940s due to the Sino-Japanese War.
Reactionary practices such as foot-binding, polygamy, and child marriage were strictly prohibited and enforced by the Nationalist government for social progress. But the nationalists under Chiang were worried that westernization could impede and diminish the positive aspects of Chinese traditions, such as gender roles, family values, morals, and ethics. Therefore, the nationalist regime started a [[File:SocialConservative.png]] [[Traditionalism|New Life Movement that promotes Confucianism and traditional Chinese values]]. Many scholars have described this movement as [[File:Confucianism.png]] [[Meritocracy|Neo-Confucianist]]. Chiang also turned further nationalistic and grew interested in the government systems of [[File:Nazi.png]] [[National Socialism|Nazi Germany]], [[File:Fash.png]] [[Fascism|Fascist Italy]], and [[File:Kemal.png]] [[Kemalism|Kemalist Turkey]]. The [[File:China-blueshirt.png]] Chinese Blue Shirt Society was founded in 1932 by Dai Li as an experiment that modeled the Black Shirts paramilitary wing of the Italian Fascist Party with a slogan of ‘One Doctrine, One Party, and One Leader’ with strong anti-Japanese and anti-western/American sentiments. The organization was disbanded in 1938 as Chiang moved away from fascist influence due to the deterioration of the relationship between China and the Axis due to Japanese invasion of China.
