In a possible attempt to offset this dangerous imbalance, Sheng approached two high-ranking Chinese communists en route from Moscow to Yenan with a formal request that he should be permitted to join the CCP.1" According to Sheng, this request was conveyed to the CCP Politburo in Yenan, but was subsequently referred to Moscow for approval - an indication, if correct, of how closely Sinkiang, although still theoretically an integral part of the Chinese Republic, had become bound to the USSR.140 Stalin clearly had no desire to enhance CCP influence and prestige in Sinkiang at the expense of the CPSU, and is accordingly reported to have vetoed Sheng's application.141 This development, possibly coupled with the contemporaneous reinforcement of Soviet garrison troops in the neighbouring Mongolian People's Republic,142 seems finally to have convinced Sheng that the expanding tide of Soviet influence in Central Asia was irreversible.
He arrived at Moscow incognito, but immediately began a round of intensive discussions at the Kremlin, culminating in a drinking party at Molotov's dacha 'in the pleasant countryside far from the gray Moscow environs'.143 During his stay in Moscow, Sheng expressed his wish to strengthen the links between Sinkiang and the Soviet Union and, having assured Stalin of his 'devotion to Marxism-Leninism', he further stated his desire 'to receive party training and indoctrination immediately'.144 Stalin promptly agreed to this request, and before leaving Moscow Sheng was enrolled as a member of the All-Union Communist Party.145 In other words, Sheng Shih-ts'ai, although a Chinese national and the Military Governor of Sinkiang province, voluntarily became a member of the CPSU, and not of the CCP as he claims originally to have intended.146 Sheng further records that he left Moscow 'in an aura of cheer and optimism', noting with great satisfaction that 'I had seen Stalin not once, but three times.
As a corollary to this development, a number of senior CCP members under the leadership of Chen T'an-chiu and including Mao Tse-tung's brother, Mao Tse-min, were despatched to Sinkiang early in 1938.189 Once in Urumchi, they took up various important posts in the provincial administration, though it is clear that they remained suspicious of Sheng's bonafides, and that their loyalty lay ultimately with Yenan.190
