New Communications Clique
The Anhui clique () was a military and political organization, one of several mutually hostile cliques or factions that split from the Beiyang clique in the Republic of China's Warlord Era. It was named after Anhui province because several of its generals–including its founder, Duan Qirui–were born in Anhui. The clique's main members were Duan Qirui, Duan Zhigui, Jin Yunpeng, Wang Yitang, Lu Yongxiang, Zhang Jingyao, Wu Guangxin, Chen Shufan, Zheng Shiqi, Xu Shuzheng, etc. The Anhui Clique was largely a collection of military officers with connections to Duan Qirui, either due to family ties such as Wu Guangxin, being from the same locality such as Duan Zhigui, or having a teacher-student relationship such as Xu Shuzheng or Jin Yunpeng.Andrew J Nathan (1976).

It was resolved in China's favor in 1922. The German Empire acquired control over parts of Shandong following a series of events in the late 19th century. The key moment came in 1897 when two German missionaries were murdered in the province. Using this incident as a pretext, Germany demanded concessions from China. In 1898, China agreed to lease the Kiautschou Bay Leased Territory, which included the port city of Qingdao, to Germany for ninety-nine years.
