- The Shen-Kan-Ning Border Region will serve as an example of political practice during the war years. This Border Region, with a population of about one and a half million people in the three provinces (Shensi, Kansu, and Ninghsia), was by no means a typical example of the liberated areas. As the original Northwest base of the CCP and the area in which the Party Center was located, it was actually a "model" area of CCP control. However, precisely because of its well-established Party presence and its relative security from Japanese attack, the Shen-Kan-Ning Border Region set the pattern of government for all of the liberated areas.

- In the summer of 1939, the Chungking Government began to enforce a strict military blockade of the Communist Shen-Kan-Ning Border Region. It had two objectives: first, the prevention of Communist military infiltration and elimination of Communist propaganda in Free China west and south of the Shen-Kan-Ning Border Region; second, the closing of any possible overland route between the Chinese Communist base areas in North China on the one hand, and Sinkiang and Soviet Russia on the other.

- By the summer of 1939, a stringent military blockade had been imposed on the Shen-Kan-Ning. In the winter of 1939–1940, the Nationalists launched an offensive against the outskirts of the Border Region. Thereafter, blockhouses were erected, 200,000 KMT troops were stationed around the Shen-Kan-Ning, and all economic aid to the Communists was suspended.
