Biographical Note: The Kuomintang was founded by Sun Yat-sen on 13 August 1912. From the outset, it sought to encourage both moral and financial support among overseas Chinese for the revolution in China, and local branches were established for this purpose, NZ being no exception. During the 1920's, 30's, and early 40's, the KMT had a very active role among the NZ Chinese community. After 1949 with the Chinese Communist Party victory in China and the assimilation of the local Chinese into NZ society, KMT influence began to decline. The KMT Auckland Branch had its HQ for many years at 217 Hobson St. (First listing at this address was 1948. The building was demolished in the late 1970's, and the site became part of what is at present Percy Honda Motors)
