The force at the core leading our causeforward is the Chinese Communist Party.
The theoreiical basis guiding our thinkingis Marxisrn-Leninism.
Opening address at the First Sessionof the First National Feople's Con-gress of the People's Republic of
' China (September 15, 1954)
If there is to be revolution, there mustbe a revolutionary party. Without a revolu-tionary party, without a party built on theMarxist-Leninist revolutionary theory and inthe Marxist-Leninis.t revolutionary style, it isimpossible to lead the working cla.ss and thebroad masses of the people in defeating im-perialism and its running dogs.
Reuolutianarg Fot'ces af the WwldUnite, FigErt Against Imperial.istAggressianl (November 1948)
A well-discipiined Party armed with thetheorlT of Marxism-Leninism, using themethod of self-critieisrr: and linked with themasses of the people; an army under the lead-ership of such a Party; a united front of allrevolutionar;r classes and all revolutionarygroups under the Ieadership of such a Party
- these a-re the three main weapons rvithwhich we have defeated the enerny.
On the People's Democrs.tic Dictator-ship (June 30, 1949)
V/ithout arrned struggle neither the pr:o-letariat, nor the people, nor the ComrnunistParty would have any standing at all in Chinaand it wolrld be impossible for the revolutionto triumph. In these years [the eighteen yeerssince the founding of the Partyl the develop-ment, consolidation and bolshevization af otirParty have proceeded in the midst of revolu-tionary wars; v*ithout armed struggie theCommunist Party n ould assuredly not bewhat it is today. Comrades throughout theParty must never forget this experience fort'hich we have paid in blood.
lnl;rotlttcing "The Cotnmunist;" (Ai-tcber' 4, 1?39)
The Pa"rty organizetion should be ccm-posed of the advanced elements of the proleta-riat; it should be a vigcrolls vanguard organi-zation capable of leading the proietariat and
the revolutionary masses in the fight againstthe class enemy.
Qr-roted in "Ushering in the Ail"-RoundVictory of the Great FroletarianCultural Revolution," 1968 Nerv Yeareditorial of Renrnin Ribao, Hongcliand Jiefo.ngiun Bao
Definiteiy and beyond all doubt, our fu-ture or rnaximum programme is to carryChina forward to socialism and communisrn.
qJApril 11, 1969
Both the name of our Party and our Marxistworld outlook unequivocally point to this su-preme ideal of the future, a future of incom-parable brightness and splendour.
On Coali,tion Gauer,nment (April 24,1945)
The victories of the revolution and con-struction in our country are victories of Marx-ism-Leninism. It has been the consistentideologicai principle of our Party to closeiyintegrate Marxist-Leninist theory with thepractice of the Chinese revolution.
Opening address at the Eighth Na-tional Congress of the CommunistParty of China (September 15, 1956)
The united front, armed struggle andParty building are the Chinese CommunistParty's three "magic weapons," its three prin-cipal magic weapons for defeating the enemyin the Chinese revolution.
lntroducing "The Ccymmunist" (Oc-tober 4, 1939)
Armed with Marxist-Leninist theor5,' andideology, the Communist Party of China hasbrought a new styie of work to the Chinesepeople, a style of work which essentially en-tails integrating theory with practice, forgingclose links with the masses and practising self-cr.iticism.
On Coalition Govet.nment (Aprrl 24,1e45)
Who is it that gives us our power? It istire worklng class, the poor and lower-middlepeasants, the labouring masses comprisingover 90 per cent of the population. We rep-resent the proletariat and the masses andhave overthrown the enemies of the people,and therefore tlre people support us. Direct

reliance on the revolutionary masses is a basicprinciple of the Communist Party.
Quoted in "Absorb Fresh Blood Fromthe Proletariat," editorial of Hongqt.,No. 4, 1968
Every comrade must be helped to under-stand that as long as we rely on the people,believe firmly in the inexhaustible ereativepower of the masses and hence trust and iden-tify ourselves with them, no enemy can crushus while we can crush every enemy and over-come every difficulty.
On Coalition Gouernment (Aprll 24,1945)
Another . hallmark distinguishing ourParty from all other political parties is thatwe have very close ties with the broadestmasses of the people. Our point of departureis to serve the people whole-heartedly andnever for a moment divorce ourselves fromthe masses, to proceed in all cases from theinterests of the people and not from one's self-interest or from the interests of a small group,and to identify our responsibility to the peoplewith our responsibility to the leading organsof the Party.

Opposition and struggle betrveen ideas ofdifferent kinds constantly occur within theParty; this is a reflection within the Party ofcontradictions between classes and betweenthe new and the old in society. If there wereno contradictions in the Party and no ideolog-ical struggles to resolve them, the Party's lifewould come to an end.
On Contradicfion (August 1937)
Guard against revisionism, and especial-ly its emergence in the Central Committee ofour Party.
Quoted in "Grasp the PrincipalContradiction, Hold to the GeneralOrientation of Struggle," by HongeiCommentator, Hongqi, No. 7, 1967

Revisionism is one form of bourgeoisideology. The revisionists denv the differencesbetween socialism and capitalism, betrveen
the dictatorship of the proletariat and the dic-tatorship of the bourgeoisie. What they ad-
vocate is in fact not the socialis't line but thecapitalist line. In present circumstances, re-visionism is more pernicious than dogmatism.One of our current important tasks on theideological front is to unfold criticism ofrevisionism.
Speech at the Chinese CommuittstParty's National ConJerence onPropa,ganda Work (March 12. 1957)
History tells us that correct political andmiiitary lines do not emerge and developspontaneously and tranquilly, but only in thecourse of struggle. These lines must combat"Left" opportunisrn on the one hand andRight opportunism on the other. Withoutcombating and thoroughly overcoming theseharmful tendencies which damage the revo-lution and the revolutionary war, it would beimpossible to establish a correct line and winvictory in this war.
Probletns o! Strutegy in China's Reu-olutionary W'ar (December 1936)
A human being has arteries and veinsthrough which the heart makes the blood cir-culate, and he breathes with his lungs, ex-haling carbon dioxide and inhaling fresh oxy-gen, that is, getting rid of the stale and takingin the fresh. A proietarian party must alsoget rid of the stale and take in the fresh, foronly thus can it be fuli of vitality. Withouteliminating waste matter and absorbing freshblood the Party has no vigour.
Quoted in "Absorb Fresh Blood Fromthe Proletariat," editorial of Hongqi,No. 4, 1968
Without democracy there cannot be cor-rect concentration, because it is impossible toestablish centralism when people have diver-gent views and don't have r-inity in thinking'What is mea-nt by concentration? First, theremust be concentration of correct ideas. Unityin thinking, policy, plan, command and actionis attained on the basis of concentrating cor-rect ideas. This is unity through concentra-tion.
Quoted in "Place Mao Tse-tung'sThought in Command of Everythin5l,"
1969 New Year editorial of Renmin
Ribao, Hongqi and' Jiefangjun Bao
A Communist should have largeness ofmind and he should be staunch and active,looking upon the interests of the revolution as
his very iife and subordinating his personal
interests to those of the revolution; alwaysand everywhere he should adhere to principleand wage a tireless struggle against all incor-rect ideas and actions. so as to consolidate the
ccllective life of the Party and strengthen theties betg,een the Party and the masses; he
should be more concerned about the Party and
the masses than about any individual, and
more concerned about others ttrran about him-self. Only thus can he be considered a Com-
munist.
Combat Libet'altsm (SePtember 7,
1e37)
The exemplary vanguard role of iheCommunists is of vital importance. Commu-nists in the Eighth Route and New FourthArmies should set an example in fightingbravely, carrying out orders, observing dis-cipline, doing political work and fostering in-ternal unity and solidarit;r.

So much new blood and so manyreliable successors to the revolution mark the unprece-dented prosperity of our Party.
Chairman Mao teaches us: "The next 50 to 100years, beginning from now, will be a great era of radicalchange in the social system throughout the world, anearth-shaking era without equal in any previoushistorical period. Living in such an era, we must beprepared to engage in great struggles which will havemany features different in form from those of the past."Arrnymen and civilians across the land restudied thisgreat teaching of Chairman Mao's while rvarn-rly cele-brating the convening of the Party's Ninth NationalCongress.

Dear Comrade Mao Tse-tung,Dear Comrade Delegates:
The news of the opening of the Ninth NationalCongress of the glorious Communist Party of Chinafilled the hearts of all our Communists and people withindescribable joy. The Ninth National Congress of theCommunist Party of China is a great victory for MaoTse-tung's thought. It is an event of historic significancenot only to the Chinese Communist Party and to thefraternal Chinese people, but also to all the Communists,people and genuine revolutionaries throughout theworld.
On this occasion, on behalf of the Albanian Com-munists and the entire Albanian people, with the purestfeelings of love and communist esteetn, we convey toyou our irrost ardent revolutionary greetings and whole-heartedly wish the Ninth National Congress of theCommunist Party of China complete success in itsproceedings.
The congress of your great heroic Party is beingheld at a time when the red banner of the great prole-tarian cultural revolution, the red banner of the thoughtof Chairman Mao Tse-tung, is flying victorio'usly allover China.
April I l, 1969
The counter-revolutionary plot of the sinister gangheaded by the renegade and scab Liu Shao-chi has beensmashed, and the hopes and plans of the U.S. impe-rialists, the Soviet revisionists and other reactionariesto get the Chinese fortress from within have beenblown into pieces.
.. This . unprecedented revolution, initiated anddirectly led with Marxist-Leninist wisdom and far-sightedness by Comrade Mao Tse-tung, aroused the 700
miilion Chinese people in a life-and-death struggle tobar the road to revisionism and the restoration ofcapitalism, and to defend the gains of revolution andsocialism and the dictatorship of the proletariat.
In the heat of this revolution, the masses of rn,ork-ers, peasants, soldiers and revolutionary cadres and in-tellectuals, armed with the great thought of ChairrnanMao Tse-tung, provided lofty examples of determina-tion, courage and revolutionary initiative. The greatproletarian cultural revolution has become a greatschool for tempering the class consciousness and pro-letarian revolutionary spirit of the multi-million masses
of the Chinese people.
The light of the great proletarian cultural revolu-tion shines over al1 China. Its rays have spread tl-rrough-out the world. By its splendour it bedazzles aII theenemies of the peoples, revolution and socialism. Thegreat proletarian cultural revolution is a crushing blor'v
l.l
to the global counter-revolutionary straiegy of theSoviet-U.S. alliance for rvor'ld domination. It is aninexhaustibie source of inspiration to the oppressed peo-ples in their strL,.ggle against imperialism. It is a bril-liant example for all the revolutioi-raries in the revi-sionist countries of hor,r, to rise in revolurtion and tcorrei'throw the revisionist eliques in poiver'. It has givenan unprecedented impetus to the rvorld revolLltionarymovcmcnt.
Your Ninth Congress, r,r'hich will sum up the veryrich experience of the great proletariair cultr-iral revolu-tion, rvill go dorvn in history as the congress of thetriumph of N[ao Tse-tui'rg's Marxist-Leninist revolu-tionary line over the counter-revolutionary revisionistline, of the victory of the proletariat over the bour-geoisie, and of the victory of the socialist road over thecapitalist road.
The Ninth National Ccngress of the CommunistParty of China is being held under the personai directionof Chairman Mao Tse-tung, the glorious founder of theCommunist Party of China and the great leader of theChinese revolution and. of socialist eonstruci.ion inCliina.
Like a giant rising before the peoples and all rev-olutionaries, 1\1[ao Tse-tung, the great Marxist-Leninistand teacher of revolution, has developed and raised toa ne\\r and higher stage tire immortal ideas of Marx,Engels, Lenin and Stalin. Mao Tse-tung's genius has beenonce more nanifested with unexarnpled force duringthe great proletarian cultural revolution. He personal-ly worked out the strategy and tactics of this unequalledrevolution and has led it to decisive victory.
On all continents, a whole generation of revolution-aries are brought up with Mao Tse-tung's thought andteachings, which draw them into the flames of revolu-tion.
The Albanian Communists and the entire Albanianpeople, like all other genuine revolutionaries, regardChairrnan Mao Tse-tung as their most cherished {riendand 'wish him good health and long life.
Thc tr/larxist-Leninists, the revolutionai'ies andthe proletarian masses of the whole r,voild follow, heartanC n.rind, the proceedings of your great congress: Thiscongress wiil be a new scurce sf light and revol.utionaryir-r.spiration for the forthcoming batti.cs against ihe bour-geoisie, revisionism and world reaction.
The People's Republic of China today is the for-tress of rvorld revolution and the bul.tzark of freedomancl independence of the peoples. With filnl steps, theChinese colossus is steadfastly adrzaneing iotrrards social-ism ancl communism. With a popti.iatic:r of ?00 mi1lion,Chir-ra, where the banner of it{arxisrn-Ler:inism andh4ao Tse-tung's rerrolutiona-ry ideas is {lutteringvic'ioriously, plays a histcric and decisive role in presentvrorid development.
The People's Republic o{ China stands as a granitemountain and invincible barricade against the adven-
14
tures, intrigues, plots and aggressive plans of imperial-ism arvd ruodern revisionism. In the {ace of its correclrevolutionaiy policy and its incalculable power, thecriminai drearns of the U.S. imperialists and the Sovietrevisionists to suppress revolution, enslave the peoplesand dominate the lvorld are to be completely frustrat-ed. Born in revolution, growing stronger in the pro-tractec{ class battles against nLrmerous and monstrousenemies, tempered in the great proletarian cultural rev-olution anC armed with the iife-giving teachings ofChairman Mao Tse-tung, the great People's China tow'ersIike a giant oI triumphant revoiution and shorvs to allthe opprc'ssed peoples the road to victory, the road tosociaiism and communism.
The Ninth Congress will further strengthen yourglorious Communis.b Party and the People's Republicof China. It will unite the Chinese people stiil rnorecloseiy ar:ound the Communist Party and ChairmanMao Tse-tung. It will be another heavy blorv to theanti-China plots of the U.S. imperialists, the Soviet re-visionists and the other reactionaries. Socialist Chinais in'rir-rcib1e. The resolute stand of the 700 millionChinese peopie and the crushing rebuff they gave to thebandi't-like armed provocations of the Sorriet revisionistelique against China's Chenpao lsland shorv the u,holeworld that the People's Republic of China is inviolable.
Should imperialism or re.risionism one day attemptto carry out provocations against the great Chinesepeople, encroach upon their sovereignty and terriiorialintegrity. and impair their socialist gains, they rvi1l re-ceive crushing counter-blolvs that u,ou1d signal theirdoom.
Let the imperialists, revisionists and reactionariesthe world over tremble before the triumph of the greatproletarian cultural revolution, before the non-stopmarch of great sccialist China and before Mao Tse-tung'srevoiutionary ideas which inspire Marxist-Leninisis andrevolutionaries oI the vvhole world anC fili them withconfidence.
The future belongs to the peoples, to the all-con-quering ideas of Marxism-Leninism. Capitalism andrevisionism will be overthrown and iruried. Communismand Marxism-Leninism will triumph all over the rvorld.
Ail the Communists and rvorkinq pecple of Albaniawholeheartedly acciaim the Ninth Naironal Congress cfthe Comr-trr.rnist Pariy of Cl:ina. Your victories aie ourvictories. The Albanian Party of Labour and the Com-munisl Pari;,- of China anC the Albaniaa people and theChinese people are inseparable comrades-in-arm;s; theyare inspired by the same ideals; ttrey are rnarchingshould=r to shoulder on the commoil road of the unin-ten'upted sociaiist revolution; they stand at the fore-front o[ struggle against the sworn enemies of s'rcial-ism and revolution - imperialism hearled by U'S. im-perialism and modern relrisionism headed by Sovietrevisionism.

The schemes of aggression by the traitors to com-munism in the Kremlin against Mao Tse-tung,s greatChina have suffereci ignominious failure. Ncv,,, theyfind it impossible to encircle the great China or toisolate and destroy her, because the great China is aninsepar'able part of the wor-ld revolutionary and so-cialist folces. In the People's Republic of China, thecounter'-revolutionary schemes of the renegade LiuShac-chi's ciiqr-re against the people and sociahsm havebeen exposed and smashed. Chairman NIao Tse-tung,sNla,r'xist-Leninist thought and policies have won newgreat victories over the enemies of the people and theagents of bourgeois ideology.

The People's Republic ofChina is a great invincible iink in the chain of thedetnocratic front fighting against imperialism and i"e-

Message of Greetf;ngs Fronn Central Leading Body ofMarxist-teninist Comrmunist Party of France
The Ninth NationalCommunist Party
Comrade Ma.o Tse-tung, Chairman of the CommunistFarty of China and Chairman of the NinthNational Congress of the Communist Party of China,
Comrade Lin Piao, Vice-Chairman, and ComradeChou En-lai, Secretary-General, of the NinthNational Congress of the Communist Party of China,

The 1,512 comrade delegates to theNinth National Congress of the Communist Party ofChina,
Dear Comrades:
The Central Leading Body and all militants of theMarxist-Leninist Communist Party of France havelearnt w-ith overu'helming joy that the Ninth NationalCongress of the Communist Party of China presided
Congress of theof China,
Peking Reoieu, No, 15
over by Comrade M-ao Tse-tung - the most outstandingleader of the Chinese Communists and the Chinesepeople, the historical successor to Marx and Lenin andthe leader of revolutionaries throughout the world -opened in Peking on April. 1, 1969.
The convening of the Ninth National Congresssignifies the total victory of China's great proletariancultural revolution under the conditions of the dictator-ship of the proletariat. The significance of this revolu-tion has thus been affirmed on a worldwide scale
and in the history of civilization of mankind.
The French Communists loyal to the teachings andprinciples of Marxism-Leninism hold that the theo-retical development derived from the experience of theChinese people guided and mobilized by ChairmanMao's thinking has decisively and indisputably enrichedMarxism-Leninism, as in the case of the victory of theOctober proletarian revolution of 191? led by the greatLenin.
A new striking leap forward is taking place in 1969
r,vith the convening of the Ninth National Congress ofthe Communist Party of China and on the basis o{the tremendous victory in the great proletarian culturalrevolution.
The great lxoletarian cultural revolution initiated.decided upon and led by Chairman IIao Tse-tung per-sonally has drawn hundreds of illions of Chinesemen and women citizens- s-orkers- poor and lower-middle peasants, soldierr fr.ontier guards and RedGuards into a vigorous, protracted and well-preparedbattlc.
The 1,512 Chinese delegates to the Ninth NationalCongress, who have very close ties rxuith the masses,were unanimously chosen through extensive deraoeraticconsulta*i'on.
Therefore they are the heart of the great fraternaiChinese people. This heart keeps beating at this his-toric congress of the great Communist Party of China'r,r,hich is guided by Mao Tse-tung's thought. The leapin October of 1917 brought victory to the proletarianrevolution in one country, but it did not yet providesolution, in theory and practice, to the difficult ques-tion arising from continuing the class struggle afterthe proletariat rvins political power.
The new leap brought about by China's great pro-letarian cultural revolution has solved this question,ensured that the nely bastion of world socialism willalways remain red and proletarian, and raised thequestion of how to carry on the world revolution at atime rvhen capital imperialism and rerzisionist imperial-ism are heading for final collapse.
The victory of the gleat proletarian cultural rev-olution is a concrete manifestation of the :cientific
April 11, 1969
reality and historical truth that Mao Tse-tung's thoughtis Marxism-Leninism of our time. The victory of MaoTse-tung's thought over the revisionists and other re-actionaries who spread bourgeois ideology benefitsthe Communists and revoluiionary people of the rn'orld
who are loyal to the lasting principles of Marx, Engels,
Lenin and Stalin.
Modern revisionism came into being u'ii;h theemergence of a privileged class cf bureaucrats in theParty and state organs of the Soviet Union. This priv-ileged class imposes the dictatorship of the bourgeoisieon the great mass of workers and poor peas'
ants and oppresses the people of the nationalities inthe Soviet Union. The great proletarian cultural rev-olution in China has smashed and expelled a handfulof revisionist bureaucrats who had
"vormed their way
into the Party and state organs and actively follorvedthe shameful Khrushchovites in the Soviet .Union inan attempt to restore capitalisrn and the domination ofbourgeois ideology in China.
It is natut'al lor the beaten class enemies of theproletariat and the reactionaries and revisionists in allcountries to howi and struggle frantically as dyingtigers do.
In France. the revisionist renegades of the Wal-deck Rcchei cliquc. ihese drvarfs of history, are harp-ing lhe same tune u-ith the most reactionary elements
in an all€mpr tc hcod$ink peopie sith regard to theNinth National Congr-ess of the Communist Parff ofChina. But their efforts are bound to meet with con-tempt from advanced workers, revolutionary intel-ktuals and small farmers who are opposed to capi-talism. Their slanders and lies, too, are bound to go
bapkrupt in the same way as the slanders and lies ofthe anti-Marxist Social Democrats who vilified theGreat October Revolution of 1917 and the gloriousBolsi-revik Communist trarty of Lenin and Stalin.
The iinks between the French Marxist-LeninistCommr.urists, who know how to conduct all forms ofjust struggles, legal or iilegai, and the working class
and the labouring masses are becoming ever closer,
because they sta-rted making preparations in 1963 and
created, at the end of 1967, a Marxist-Leninist Partyof the era of Mao Tse-tung's thought.
While founding the Party in the flames of thestruggle against capitaiism, imperialism and the riseof fascism, the Marxist-Leninist Communists ofFrance, taking Chairman Mao as their example, car-ried out the struggle against the present-day Rightopportunism represented by modern revisionism anda-gainst the Left opportunism represented. by thevarious trends of non-proletarian inteilectuals. In so
doing, they resolutely accept the leadership of prole-
25
iarian ideology, that is, the leadership of lVlarxism,i=linism, Mao Tse-tung,s thought.
In this sense the Ninth National Congress of theCcmmunist Party of China has also set an example ofgreat significance for the ]\Iarxist-Leninist Com_munists of France. The significance of the congressgoes beyond the boundaries of the people,s Repubticof China and extends to the rvhole rvorl.C.
On the occasion of the Ninth National Congress ofthe Communist Party of China, the Central LeadingBody and all militants of the Marxist-Leninist Com_munist Party of France extend their warmest fraternalrevolutionary greetings to you.
Looking towards your capital, far away and yetso ciose to their hearts, they shout enthusiasticaltywith one voice:
Long live the Ninth National Congress of the Com_munist Party of China!
Long live the victory of the great proietarian cul_tural revolution of China!

Imperialism headed by the United States, modernrevisionism with the Soviet revisionist leading cliqueas its centre and the reactionaries of aII countries havemounted frenzied attacks on this bastion. The U.S.-Soviet imperialist-revisionist holy alliance; in particu-lar, is directing the spearhead of its attack at People'sChina because they regard China as an insurmountableobstacle to their scheme to divide the *.orld.
Seeing that their drearn to smash the d.ictatorshipof the proletariat in China and change China's politicalcolcur through the sinister line of the renegade LiuShao-chi has finall_v [ur5t likg a bubble. the Sovietsocial-imperialists, the new tsars, rvho are colludingwith the U.S. imperialists and have usui'ped the lead-ership of the Part-v and state in the Soviet Union, havecarried out armed provocations on Chinese terriioryChenpao Island. But they found themselves againstthe iron wall of the heroic Chinese Pecpic's LiberationArmy, and all their attacks rffere completely crushed.In so doing the imperiaiists and revi-sionists vainlyhoped to extricate theinselves from their fatal contra-dictions. But what they have done only shows thatthey are fcols lifting a rock only to.drop it on theirown feet.
The situation of the world revolution is excellent.Ours is the era of Mao Tse-tung's thought, the era inwhich imperialism is heading for total collapse andsocialism is advancing to worldw.ide victory. The strug-gle for liberation of the peoples of the world is develop-ing vigorously. The more the imperialists are carryingout aggression against the peoples of the rvorld, thedeeper they are sinking in the ocean of people's war.In Vietnarn, Laos, Thailand and other countries in Asia,Africa and Latin America, the revolutionary masses,using the strategic and tactical principles of people'swar formulated by Comrade Mao Tse-tung, are dealingever heavier blows to imperialism headed by the UnitedStates, and further exposing its true colours as apaper tiger.
The desperate efforts made by the Soviet rel.isicn-ist leading diqug are of no avail. It rsanted to useKhrushchov's "peaceful coexistence" tricks to stranglethe liberation struggles of the people of all countries.It even supplied military aid to the reactionaries ofvarious countr:ies to strangle the liberation strugglesand attempted to lead these struggles into the btindalley of "peaceful negotiations," In this way, theSoviet revisionist clique is only revealing itself beforemore and more people of all countries as the majorpartner of U.S. imperialism.
In Europe, the struggles against imperialist ruleand capitalist exploitation waged by the r,vorkers, farm-ers and revolutionary students are mounting vigorously.In the face of these struggles, the mod.ern revisionistshave increasingly revealed their true features as thepartners of the bourgeoisie. Even in the United States,the lair of imperialism, the Afro-Americans and theexploited white workers and other oppressed peoplehave risen against the barbarous monopolist rule, and

the internal contradictions of imperialism are sharp-ening.
In countries where the revisionist cliques haveusurped political power, the masses have also risenin rebellion. Meanwhile, the conflicts between thesecliques, which are an outeome of the bourgeois-typedash of interests, i.e., the nationalist elash of interests,are glos'ing sharper. The Soviet revisionist leadingclique is da1--dleaming when it tri.es wildly to convenean ''internaiional conference" of revisionist pariies toalleliate these contradictions, to oppose People's Chiiraand to make 'world public opinion believe that "unity"does exist among the revisionist cliques.
While imperialism and its partner", modern revi-sionism, are headirg ioi' tcial col.lapse, the internatic.nalcommunlst rnovement that has rallied around China,rvhich is led by the glorious Cninese Communist Partyheaded by Comrade Mac Tse-tuag. anC Aibania, lvhichis led by the glorious Albanian Partl- of Labour heaC-ed

IlaoTse-tung's thought, and they are leading the proletariat-peasants and a.ll other labourers in all countries in thestruggle against imperialism, revisionism and reaction.In the eountries where revisionism has usurped politi-caI porver, the Marxist-Leninists have strengthened theiro'ivn olganizations and stepped up their struggle againstrevisionist rule.
In Italy, the lvorkers, poor farmers and revolution-ary students are vi,agi.ng a more advanced struggle, andthe domestic class struggle is increasingly sharpening.In this struggle, the Communist Party (Marxist-Lenin-ist) of Italy is playing a decisive role as the vanguardof the proletariat in leading the masses forward. OurParty, which is armed with Mao Tse-tung's thoughtand has forged close links with the masses, has beentempered in the struggles against mounting suppressicnby the bourgeois state machine, and against the attacksand intrigues of the bourgeoisie and revisionists of ailhues.
The Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) of lta1y*-ilI do its utmost to study Mao Tse-tung's thought anddisseminate it among the masses of the people; it rvillcreatively apply l\{ao Tse-tung's thought to the concretereality of the class struggle in our country, so as toestablish the dictatorship of the proletariat and social-ism.

Chairman Mao teaches us: "The Chinese Com-munist Party is the core of leadership of the wholeChinese people. Without this core, the cause of so-cialism cannot be victorious."
Under the guidance of the Chinese CommunistFarty led by Chairman Mao, the Chinese people de-feated imperialism and feudalism, established thedictatorship of the proletariat and embarked on so-cialist construction. Today, having expelled the hiddenclass enemies, purified the class ranks and "absorbedfr.esh blood from the proletariat" from among therevolutionaries who have been tempered in the courseof tne great proletarian cultural revolution, the Chi-nese Communist Party has greatly strengthened itsunity and links with the masses on the basis of Chair-man Mao's revoltitionary line.
Recently, inheriting the mantle of imperialistpolicy of the old tsars. the Soviet revisionist leadingclique has had the audacity to invade the People's Re-public of China - the red base of the world revolu-tion.
This is a new step taken by these renegades intheir betrayal as well as in their collusion with U.S.imperialism for redividing ihe rvoi'ld.

The Ninth National Congress ofthe Communist Party of China,
Chairman Mao Tse-tung,
Dear Comlades:
We warmly hail the opening of the Ninth NationalCgngress of the Communist Party of China in Feking.
This congress is of great historic significance. Itmarks the victory of the great proletarian cultural rev-olution in China and establishes the leading role of thethought of Mao Tse-tung, the teacher of the worldrevolution.
The great proletarian cultural revolution is a greatpolitical revolution carried out under the conditions ofsocialism by the proletariat against the bourgeoisie.The revolutionary masses, mobilized under the leader-ship of the proletarian headquarters headed by Chair-man Mao, have frustrated all the efforts of the bour-geoisie to seize political power and underrnine thedicfatorship of the proletariat. In particular, throughthe revolutionary mass movement of criticism and re-pudiation" the revolutionary masses who have masteredMao Tse-tung's thought have eliminated revisionistideas, exposed and expelled the handful of Party pei'-sons in authority taking the capitalist road headed bythe renegade and scab Liu Shao-chi, the agents ofthe bourgeoisie within the Communist Part,y.
This is the guarantee that China, unlike the SovietUnion, will never deger:erate and will rernain red forever.

After studying Chairman Mao's works, the rev-olutionary people in India who are taking the road ofarmed struggle have raised the experience gained intheir struggle to the theoretical plane. This has increasedtheir confidence in victory. An Indian revolutionary*.ho has taken part in the Naxalbari struggle said: ,,Inthe past I regarded weapons as the main factor andthought that our bows and arrows were inferior tothe weapons of the enemy. After str.rdying ChairmanlVlao's thesis that 'it is people, not things, that are deci-sive' in war, I realized that weapons are not the decisivefactor. In Naxalbari, the enemy stationed trvo bat-talions of armed police equipped with tanks and othermodern \Meapons, but they failed to suppress the peo-ple. On the contrary, the revolution has developed,,,
Another Indian revolutionaly said: ,,W'e are inthe great era of the thought of Mao Tse-tnng, and rn,e
must not depart from this time factor in vierving thefuture of the armed struggle. The people of the tvorldhave formed a powerful revolutionary for.ce. In India,our strength will definitely grolv in struggle. The rev-olutionary force will surpass the counter-revolutionaryforce. The fundamental condition for our inevitablefinal victory lies in the Indian people grasping MaoTse-tung's thought."
"Workers and Pea,sants Haue Risen iruTheir Millions"
In many Asian countries, such as Japan, India.Thailand an<i Mala;'a, the mass movement has beenrolling abead s-ith force and vigour in tl-re woridrviderevolutionary storm- The people ii-r these countries aregreatly inspired by Chairman Mac's briiiiant teachinss.sueh as'it is right to rebel against reactionaries" a:.d"dare to fight, defy ilifficulties." These ideas havegiven them infinite strength an,C great courage todefeat the enemy.
Japanese peasants in Sanrizuka in Chiba prefec-ture, inspired by Chairman Mao's brilliant teaching "ourpolicy is to give him [Chiang Kai-shek] tit for tat andto fight for every inch of land," have resolutelv con-fronteC and fought the U.S. and Japairese reactionarieswith their sickles. The enemy, they said, is sharpei-ringhis sword and will suppress us if we are unarnied. Andif we counter-attack him just rvith rocks he will suppressus just the same. Then why not pick up our sickles todefend ourselves! So from last July, drawing inspira-tion frorn Mao Tse-tung's thought, they reached an j.den-
tity of views. They used their sickles and faced the enemyin new battle array. People taklng part in the anti-U.S. struggle were impressed by the rnilitant and for-midable Sanrizuka peasants, sickles in hand and wear-ing helmets. They said that once the brilliant thoughi

of Mao Tse-tung is grasped by the masses of the peo-ple it will turn into invincible material force. Countlessfacts have shown that Mao Tse-tr-rng's thought is aspiritual atom bomb rvhich has infinite po\ver and cancru;h all enemics.
The progressive students of Tokyo University, rn hoheroically took on 10,000 armed police for 36 hoursand garre them a sound thrashing in January, poir-rted
out that the all-conquering thought of Mao Tse-tungwas their mainstay.
In the coLlrse of the struggle, these studettts bar-ricaded themselves in the exhibition hall of the uni-versity's Engineering Faculty. They carefully put upChairman Mao's poi'trnit in front of the buildir-rg, andall of them conscientiously studied their red-covered book
Qu,otatians Fram Chairman Mao Tse-tung before bat-tling the police. On the building, they posted thispassage, written in huge characters, from Chaii'n'ranMac: "Be resolute, fear no sacrifice and surnrountevery difficulty to win victory." They also hoisted a
red flag with the inscription "Long live Mao Tse-tui-rg's thought!" on the roof. Fierce fighting lasted forsix hours. The thousands-strong armed police had togo all out to get into the building, which was occupiedby less than 40 students. When only one student was
left. he got on the roof and held aloft the big red flaginscribed with "Long live Mao Tse-tnng's thought!"H€, too, was finally arrested, unjustifiably b), thepolice. He strode along, head high and chin up. a

Kenji Yabe, a r,vorker in Kanagarva Prefecturervho has been in the forefront of the struggle againstU.S. military bases in Japan, said that Chairman Mao'steachings have given infinite courage. eonfidence and
strength to the revoltttionauy Japanese people fightingL:.S. imperialism. Yabe said that the militant spiritembodied in the t€a.hing ''it is right to rebel" must be
brought into full pla;' in the people's mcvement andthat such rubbish as the "parliamentar-y load," "peetce-

,Tl HE Peking No. 3 Chemical Plant was founded in 1956I by merging 96 small private factories. Its main
products are plastics additives. Before the Partyconsolidation, it had 117 Communist Party members,aecounting for 14.6 per cent of the total number ofworkers and staff.
During the great proletarian cultural revolution,the plant's proletarian revolutionaries in and outsidethe Party, with the assistance of the P.L.A. 8341 Unitpersonnel helping the Left in the plant, firmly carriedout Chairman Mao's revolutionary iine and establishedthe plant's revolutionary committee in February 1968
after waging sharp class strnggles. Then, a leadinggroup for Party consolidation was formed in the middleof March last year, and the work of PartSr consolidationbegan.
The leading group has consis'cently taken it as theguiding principle our great leader Chairman Mao's im-portant instruction that "the Party organization shouldbe composed of the advanced elemeuts of the proleta-riat; it should be a vigorous vanguard organizationcapahle of leading the proletariat and the revolutionarymasses in the fight against the class enemy." It hasfully mobilized the masses and used revolutionarymethods to consolidate the Party organization ideolog-ically and organiationaily.
Apri.l 71, 1969
As a result of the plant's Party consolidation- thefew bad elements rvho had wormed their rvay into theParty were expeiied. The masses of Party memberswere educated and 16 new members were taken intothe Party. Since the Party consolidation, the Partymembers have enormously raised their level of con-sciousness of the struggle between the two lines, therelatioirs between the Party and the masses have be-come closer than errer before, and the Party organiza-tion has become purer and stronger than before.
Carry the Struggle to Smqsh Revisionisrn in thePorty Through to the End
Foilowing the No. 3 Chemical Plant's srvitch to jointstate-private operation, class struggie did not die outand the hundreci or so capitaiists and the Kuomintangremnants in the plant continued to dream of staging are:tcration. Instead of rvaging struggles against them.the capitalist roaders in the Party were very thickwith them. A handful of bad persons \.\'ere pro-moted to leading posts and some \,vere erzen pulledinto the Party. Using their usurped power, the capital-ist roaders did their utmost to push the counter-revolu-tionary revisionist line of the renegade, traitor andscab Liu Shao-chi and oppose Chairman Mao's proJ.e-
tarian revolutionary 1ine. An old worker said with in-clignation: In the past the bourgeoisie exercised
Line
dictatorship over the proletat'iat in the No. 3 ChemicalPiant. This lvas the most profound generalization o{ thepiant's struggle betr,,'een the ttvo classes, the two roadsand the t'"r'o lines.
The struggle betu,een the tu,o classes - the pro-letariat and the bourgeoisie - centres on the questionof political power, the qoestion o{ whether theleadership of the Farty and s{:ate is to be in the handsof Marxists or of revisionists. Party consolidationmust first o{ all deeply expose and criticize and re-pudiate the counter-revolutionary revisionist linepushed by the capitalist roaders in the Party, a line torestore cailitalisin, expose .rnd expel the class eit.mieswho rvormed their wa5r intc the Party, and carry thestruggle to smash revisionisrn in the Party through tothe end.
Of those bad persons tvhc sneaked into the Par:ty,some wornled their r,vay in by concealing their poiiticalbackground aird others r+,ere openly pulled into theParty by the capitalisi roaders in the Party. PushingLiu Shao-chi's revisionist line on Pariy buiiding, theplant's capitalist roaders talked such nonsense as "toaccept a lvorker in the Party oniy adds a man withlabour povrer" and rave<i about taking people with so-called "managerial experience" or the so-called "techni-cally, advanced" into the Part_v. There rras an aiienciass element rvhom the masses all knerv to be a badperson. Ilo.wever, the capitalist roaders claimed that"he is capable in management, a key man in productionand it rvould be inconvenient if he were not accepte<iin the Party." Ignoring the rvorkers' opposition, theyinsisted on pulling this person into the Party. Theyeven puiled those who'ivere adept at serving their ov.rnprivate interests into the Party. After climbing to theleading post in the administrative section, an alienclass element rode roughshod over the *'orkers r,vhilehc did a1i he could to fa.,vn on the capitalist roaders.The latter pra.ised him as "skilful in hanclling affairs"and toiri the Pa-rt3" olganization to admit him intothe Party. Thus, a few bad persons u,ormed their wayinto the Party and made the Party organization impure.
The leadir-rg group for Part;/ consoliclation cam,^ tosee that Far'r";v consolidation \yas a serious struggleagainst revisicnistrr and that it must coriectiy carryout policy. It paid close attenticn to verifying theproblems of the Party members and r:eached accurateconclusions only after repeated inves'i,igaiicns and r.,eri-fications. To cietermine lhe nature o{ the cases anddecide ihe vrays to handle them, it set up studyclesses, explained the relateti policies to ihe i:rasses andlet the masses have thoiough discussions. FollovringChairman Mao's instruction ihat the target of attacksircuki be narrolved qrrd more perple helped througheducation, it paid atiention to the {ollowing distinc-tions: 1. Use the meihod of class analysis to considerhis [a cadre's] li{e arrtl rvorh as a v.,hole to judgewhether he is a good or tri,rd person. 2. Examine thenature of the problems a.nd their degree of seriousne-ss.Differentiate betu,een ih=se rrho piotted to restore

capitalism and those who implemented Liu Shao-chi'srevisior-iist line in their tvork because they failed toremou-l<i their r,vorld outlook.rvell and give promiirenceto proletaria,n poiitics. 3. Decide if the attitude is onecf repentance; whether the person persists in his formersianl1 and r-,'iii not come over to the correct side afterrepeated education, or if he has already repented andstarted afresh. As for good peopie who have irrademistakes. u.e should obser-ve a-nd help them and rvhenthey are a',r-akeaed. they shculd be promptly liberaied..r\ccorciing to Chairman Nlao's instruction oI "eiir.rinat-ing waste mater," the proven renegades, enemyagents, diehard capitalist roaders, riegenerated elementsand alien class elements should be resolutely expelledfrom thre Part:r. As for apathetic persons rvho rvouldnot change after education, thel- shculC be adviged toleave the Party.
Using Choirmsn Mao's Proletorion Revolutionory LineTo Ro-edtrcute the Mosses of Fcrty Mernbers
The majoritSr of the Party members in the plantare good or comparativeiy good. More than 90 percent of them come from iamilies of tvorkers, poor andlorver-middle peasants and other working people. Theyardentl)' love Chairman Mao and the socialist cause.
However, because the capitalist roaders in the Part;rpushed Liu Shao-chi's counter-revolutionary revisionistllne and poisoned the Party members wiih his sinisterbook on self-culiivation, many Party members lvei'eideologically affected by its vicious influence in varyingdegrees. They did not have a clear understanding ofthe struggle between the two classes, the tra,o roadsand the two lines under the conditions of the dictator-ship of the proletariat and were lacking in the i<iea ofcontinuing to make r€volution. Some cornra<ies did nothave a clear political orientation of how to be a prc-letarian va,nguard fighter.
Our great leader Chairman 1!lao teaches us: Toput things in order organizationally requires eur firstdolug so ideologically, our launching a sta{rggle oi pro-letarian ideclogy against non-prol€tariax! irtreelogy.Following this teaching, the leading group for Partyconsolidation energetically grasped ideologlcal educa-tion and set up Party consolidatir:n and spare-timestudl- classes in which the Pariy metnbers and therevol.utionary masses particlpated. The whoie plantstalted a can-ipaign for vigorous study and mass criti-cism and used Chairman Mao's pi'oletarian revoiu-tion-ary line to undertake ideological consolidation amongt!:e Party members.
In the ideoicgical education movement the leadinggroup guided the Pariy memb€rs to make the follolvingdisiinctions:
1. Distinguish belween thc trvo classes. Proletarianclass consciousness has been raised by studying Chair-rnan Mao's theories on classes and class strtiggle, re-calling the past bitterness in contrast to the present
Peking Retiew, I{o. 15

happinr-'ss and criticizing the "theor1l of class coircilia-tion." Sparing no efforts to obscure the distinctionbetween the proletar;.at and the bourgeoisie, thecapitalist roaders of the plant ca11ed the reactionarycapita.Lists "old red house-keepers" and raved that "theNo. 3 Chemicai Plant is a big community and everyoneloves each other." The.r-- even openly, asked the work-ers and Party rnernbers to form "tlyo-man groupshelping each other" with reactionary capitalists. ThePariSi c.onsolidation study classes invited old workersto recall thelr bitter past and thus helped rousethe ciass indignation of the Party members arid revolu-tionar-v masses. This enabled the Party members tounderstand that only by firmly remembering the bitterclass oppression and the hatred of blood and tears canthey carry the revolution through to the end.
2. Distinguish between the trx,o lines. The Partymembers studied Chairman Mao's Marxist-Leninistline on Party btr"ilding and Chairman Mao's theory andIine on continuing the revolution under the dictatorshipof the proletariat. They criiicized Liu Shao-chi's revi-sionist line on Party building and denounced his tower'-ing crimes to restore capitalism. They repudiated thetheory of "the dying out of class struggle," the theoryof "inner-Party peace" and the theory of "docile tools;"eliminated the idea among the Party members ofneglecting politics and burying their heads in produc-tion; and liquidated the erroneous ideas of not makinga distinction between the tr,vo lines and thrnkir:g thatthose who t'closely follow what the;r- are told are goodPart5r members." The leading group for Party con-solidation also guided the Party members to repeatedlyexamine themselves in the light of Chairman. Mao'sprograrnme for Party building; to deeply unfold activi-ties to show their boundless toyalty to Chairman Mao,to Mao Tse-tung's thought and to Chairman Mao's pro-letarian revolutionary line; and to foster the thinkingof carrying through to the end the revolution undcrthedictatorship of the proletariar.
3. Distinguish betvreen the two world outlooks -that of public interest and that of self-interest. TheParty members studied Chairman Mao's briliiantu'orks the "three eonstantiy read articles" (Serue thePeople, IT Nlemorg oJ Norman Bethune ancl ?he Fooiishald Man Who Ren'roaecl the Mountai,ns) and the fiverequirements for su-ccessors to the revolutionary causeof the proletariat. They also fought self-interest andrepudiated revisionism in a deep-going way, thoroughlycriticized the bourgeois world outlooi<, dencr-tnced thetheory of "merging private and public interests" andti.re theory of "entering the Party in order to be an of-ficial," thereby fostering the communist world outlookof serving the pubiic intei:est heart and soul.
4. Distinguish betu'een the two kinds of attitudeicrvards the masses. The Party members studiedChairman Mao's te:,chings on the mass line, repudiatedLiu Shao-chi's theory that "the masses are backward,"
April il, 19{i9
and eliminated the emoneous ihinking that "Partymembers are above others." Instead of having theFart;z members ponder over their mistakes beirindciosed doors, the principle <lf open Party consolicial"ionrvas persistently foliolved. 'l-he revoiutionary masseswere invited to attend various kinds of meetings toccnsolidate the Party and u,ere asked to nake criticismand suggesiions tci Party irrembers and Party crganiza-tions. The Party mernbers rvent among the masses tofaee the rvorld and brave the storm, examined theirmistakes and modestlv li-si:ei:ed to tkre criticism of themasses. AU this proict',iidly touched the Party membersto their souls and strer-rgthened the relations betrveen theParty and the rnasses.
After ideological consolidation, the Party membersgained a deep understanding that "sailing the seas de-pends on the heimsman and making revolution dependson Mao Tse-tung's thought." They all expressed theirdetermination to be boundlessly lo.val to Chairman lVlao
for ever and to be good Party members who defendChairman Mao's revolutionary line throughout their lives.They came to understand that the Communist Party isthe party which \ /ages class struggle and makes revo-lution, and that rf one forgets cLass struggle, the dieta-torship of the proletariat and giving promlnence toproletarian politics, he wiil lose his orientation. As aresult. they have vrgorously' studied, propagated anddefended l,'Iao Tse-tung's thought. and made revolutionrrhererer thel' r'.-ent.
lbere Eas a Communist rrho erroneously tiefendedthe capltalist roaders for a period during the great cul-tural revolution because her concept of dass strugglewas weak. Since the Party consolidation, she has con-scientiously studied Chairman Mao's works, analysedproblems from a eiass viewpoint, and waged vigorousstruggles against the elass enemy. She has beeome avanguard in grasping revolution and promoting pro-duction and rvas recently cited as an activist in the studyof Chairman Mao's tvorks in the plant.
Another Communist, who is a procluction groupleader, used to think that "as long as a Party memberdoes a good job in production, he is a good Party mem-ber." When production did not go up, she only iookedup problems in technology, equipment and rawmaterials. Now she organizes her comrades to studyChairman Mao's works and find out where theylag behind ideologiealiy, thereby solving the long-stand-ing probiern of disr*nity in her group. Revolutionizedthinking in the group stimuiated its technical revolu-tion and the group's production weht up by leaps and
bounds. This group has beeir cited as an exampie forthe whoie plant to learn from.
Still another Communist, known in the past as the
"good old chap," iook an attitude of "yes and good"
to everybody and about everything. He r,vould not ex-pose bacl things or struggle against bad people. In thecourse of the Party consolidation he accepted the criti-cism of the masses and alter being paiiently helped
35
made up his mind to correct his mistakes. He not onlyear-nestly studies Chairman Mao's works but activelyorganizes criticism and repudiation meetings in whichhe takes the lead to speak. When he hears wrongopinions, he dares to oppose them. The masses saythat he "seems to be another pelson" and he \ ras re-cently cited as a "five-good" 'uvorker.
Adirering to Chairman lVlao's consistent teachings,the leading gi'oup for Party consolidation adopted theprincipie of "learning from past mistakes to avoidfuture ones, curing the sickness to -save the patieut"lorvards the comrades lvho had made mistakes. On theone hand, their mistakes were severely criticized, andon the other hand they u,ere $,armly helped to under-stand and corect their mistakes. The former Partysecretary of the supply and marketing section wasdivorced from the masses and made fairly seriousmistakes. During Party consolidation he was deeplytouched after being criticized and helped by the masseson many occasions. He went among the masses manytimes to fight seif-interest and repudiate revisionismand made a thorough self-criticism. He finally wonthe confidencc of the masses. He said vrith emotion:"The great proletarian cultural revolution saved me,and Chairman Mao gives me my second political life."With tears in his eyes. he cheered: Long live ChairmanMao!
After being patiently educated, these comradeshave regenerated their proletarian revolutionary spiritin class struggle and the struggle for production.
In short, ideological tectification brings profoundchanges in the outlook of Party members. Many Party,members have changed from people w'ho bury theirheads in production into pathbreakers in class struggle,from people t-ho give prominence to techniques intoadvanced elements who give prominence to proletarianpolitics, from "superiors" of the masses into their pu-pils. and from "good old chaps" into fearless fighters todefend Chairn'ran Mao's revolutionary line.
Toking in Fresh Blood to Givg Porty OrgonizotionsAdded Vitolity
On the basis of ideological and organizational con-solidation, the plant's Party leading group and work-strop Party branches were established in September1968. Following our great leader Chairman Mao'steachlng "A proletarian party must also get rid of thestale and take in the fresh, for only thus can it be fullof vitality. Without eliminating waste matter andabsorbing fresh blood the Party has no vigour," theyadmitted a number of advanced elements with a pro-Ietarian consciousness into the Party and selected out-standing Communists, who firmly carry out ChairmanMao's revolutionary 1ine, to undertake the leadingwork of the Party organizations.
. In the course of accepting new Party members,they helped overcome the conservative ideas existing
36
among some comrades and, in firmly implementing the"active and prudent" policy, the5; extensively soughtopinions {rom the masses inside and outside the Party.Two successive groups of new Part-v members wereaccepted. The first group consisted of ten membersrvho have a good family background and a high levelof political consciousness and who stepped forrvardbotdly in defence of Chairman Mao's revolutionary linein the great proletarian cultural revolu-tion. Afterjoining the Party, they took the lead in creativelystudying and applying Mao Tse-tung's thought, wentinto the midst of the masses to do ideological-politicalwork and set an example everywhere in grasping revo-iution and promoting production. Seven of them havebeen cited as the plant's activists in the creative studyand application of Chairman Mao's r*,orks.
There are 24 Ieading members in the plant's Partyleading group and the workshop Party branches rvhichwere founded after Party consolidation. Two of themare the P.L.A. representatives who have brought withthem the P.L.A.'s fine tradition of giving prominenceto proletarian politics, persevering in the "four firsts,"and promoting vigorously the "three-eight" lvorkingstyle. Of the remaining 22 members, 14 are new-bornforces r,r,ho have emerged in the course of the greatcultulal revolution. Three Party members were re-cently selected from among the workers for the Partyleading group. They firmly implement Chairman Mao'srevolutionary line and are imbued with drive andvigour. The new leading body exercises unifiedleadership organizationally. The standing committee(all are full Party members) of the revolutionary com-mittee is the Party leading group and the political in-structors of the companies (the workshops) are Partybranch secretaries. The most fundamental thing is touse IIao Tse-tung's thought to attain unity in thinking,poli.v.-, plan, command and action and achieve unifiedleadership.
Certain members of the o1d leading body opposedthe study of Chairman Mao's works by the masses andresisted the propagation of Mao Tse-tung's thought.The nerv leading members are the plant's models whoare loyal to Chairman Mao, to Mao Tse-tung's thoughtand to Chairman Mao's proletarian revolutionary lineand who have boundless love for, faith in, venerationfor and loyalty to Chairman Mao. They paygreat attention to the creative study and application ofMao Tse-tung's thought, taking the lead in studyingand applying what they learn. They closely followChairman Mao's great strategie plan and unswervinglycarry out every militant call of the proletarian head-quarters with Chairman Mao as its leader and Vice-Chairman Lin as its deputy leader.
Certain members in the oId leading body not onlyseldom took part in manual labour themselves, but theyestablished a huge administrative structure with theresult that over 20 per cent of the plant's staff weredivorced from labour. The majority of the new lead-ing members lvho retain the fine qualities of the work-
I

I

ing elass are working in shifts; those comiades w'ho arein charge of routine work take part regularly in manuallabour. They work and study, fight seif-interest andrepudiate revisionism together with the workers.
Some members in the old leading body spreadthe fallacy of "turning pressure into motive force," andenforced the system of "controlling, restraining andputting pressure on" the workers. The new leadingbody consults the masses on matters it deals with anddoes deep-going and painstaking ideologicat-politicaiwork. A Party branch secretary of worker origin saidwith deep feeling: Whether one has boundiess warm-heartedness towards his comrades is a manifestation ofwhether one has proletarian feeiings. The mole Part;-organizations are concerned for the masses. the higheris the revolutionary fervour of the masses.
Guided by Mao Tse-tung's thought, members of thenerv leading body have conducted active ideologicalstruggl.e. They often use the method of open-door recti-fication and listen earnestly to criticism from the masses,
thus constantly promoting the revolutionization ol theirown thinking. A veteran rvorker rvho rvas invited totake part in the rectification said: "In the past, I neverentered the door of the general Party branch office;now we are inr.ited here to help in the rectification, rve
must support such a revolutionized leading body."
The plant's leading body has become a fightingheadquarters which gives prominence to proletarianpclitics and grasps revolution and promotes production;the Party organization has become a vigorous vanguardwhich is leading the revolutionary masses in the fightagainst the class enemy. The plant's production is
flourishing. the production tasks were fulfilled in an
all-round rva;, 33 days ahead of schedule last year. InJanuary- this 1'ear. the production tasks '*'ere overful-fi,lled'oS 38 per cent. There is now a vigorous revolu-tionarl- situaiion in the plant. The broad masses ofParty members and revolutionarl' people are makingnerv and excellent achier-ements in their rrork as giftsto the Ninth National Congress of the great- gloriousand correct Communist Party of China.

dissemination of Mao Tse-tung's thor-rght. UnCaunted,revolutionary people in these countries regularly listento quotations from Chair-man Mao anC selected readingsfrom his works broadcast over Radio Peking, take themdoll'n, stencil and pass them on. They translate Chair-man Mao's writings into different languages and secret-
ly circulate them ainong the people. Without access
to printing-presses, they mimeograph or copy them byhand. On the walls and even on the buildings of thereactionary governments can be found "political powergrows out of the barrel of a gun" and other quotationsfrom Chairman Mao written at night in big letters byvaliant revolutionaries. AII this has greatly inspiredand encotrraged the down-trodden masses to resist and
struggle against the dark reactionary rule ancl to winvictory.
In Malaya, a revolutionary worker was arrestedby the Lee Kuan Yew puppet clique because he had
the treasured books of revolution, tlre Selected Works oJ
lVlao Tse-tuns. Defiant and fearless in the €ri€rny court,he denounced the reactionaries: "I]nder the rule ofU.S.-British imperialism and the Rahman-Lee KuanYew clique, this society is horrible and full of evil, andthe people are suffering endless misery. I understandthat in ttre Selected, Works of Mao Tse-tung there arenumerous truths which can deliver the people fromtheir suffering." He said wrathfully: "It is not I who
April 11, 1969
am guilty, but the Lee Kuan Yew reginte." The fiab-bergasted reactionary judge was at a loss for a replyto this u,orker armed with Mao Tse-tung's thought.
A revolutionary Japanese youth was unjr"rstifiablyimprisoned by the reactionary Sato government. Hiscomrade-in-arms presented him r,vith a portrait of Chair-man Mao and the treasured red book, Qu,otations FromChcLirman Msn Tse-tung. He put Chairman Mao's portraiton fhe ijnly rvindow'in his prison cell and iooked at itr.t'ith respect day after day, drawing strength for keep-ing up the struggle. Defying his jailers, he recitedover and over every day these quotations frorn Chair-man Mao: "All reactionaries are paper tigers," and
"Be resolute, fear no sacrifice and surmount every dif-ficulty to win victory." Through persistent stluggle,the youth finally won out and was freed from prison.
Thanks to the wide and thorough spreading ofMarxism-Leninism, Mao Tse-tung's thought, the peo-
ple of Asia are rapidly awakening. The face of Asiais speedily changing. No matter how the reactionary
forces put up last-ditch struggles with the support ofthe U.S. imperialists and the Soviet revisionists, theycan never save themselvcs from their doom. In thisgreat era of radical change in the social system through-out the rvor1d, the revolutionary people in Asia, by
further apptying the great Marxism-Leninism, Mao
Tse-tung's thought, will definitely accomplish theirgr:eat historical task of winning national liberation.

Signing the communique wereLiu Hsi-r.',ren for the Chinese side,and Yoshimi Furui for the Japanese
, side.
Follor,l,ing is the text of ttre eom-munique:
The Chinese representatives of theChina-Japan Memorandum TradeOffice and the Japanese representa-tives of the Japan-China Memoran-durn Trade Office hetrd talks in pe-king between February ZZ andApril 4, 1969. Both sides exehangedfrank views on the present relations.between China and Japan and otherquestions of common interest.
Both sides revier,ved Sino-Japaneserelations si:rce the issuing of theco,rnrnunique on the talks betr,:r"eenthe two sides heid ir,r 1968"
3&
The Chinese side points out: U.S.imperialism and the Sato govern-nrent of Japan which tails afler ithave stubbornly pursned a policyof hostility tou,ards China and haveplaced obstacles in the relations be-trveen China and Japan, inciudingthe relations between us,
The Japanese side frankly admitsthat the causes for the w,orsening oithe relations betrveen Japa,n andChina lie rvith the Japanes= Gc.r-ernment. In t':ei',' of i:s a:r-:ietyabout the piese:t situairon and fromthe angie of, ser'rous self-examination,the japanese side eryresses its de-termination to make positive effortsto rernove these obsta-cles and pro-mote the normal development ofrelations between Japan and China.
Both sides reaffirm that the threepolitical principles confirmed byboth sides in i968, (One, not to pur-sue a policy of hostiiity towardsChina; two, not to participate in anyconspiracy to create "two Chinas,,;and three, not to obstruct the resto-ration of norrnal relations betweenChina and Japan) and the principlethat politics and economics are insep-arable must be abided b}z in therelations between China and Japan,and are also the political basis forour relations. Both sides express thedetermination to continrie to makeefforts to abide by the above-men-tioned prineiptres and safeguarC thispolitical basis.
The Chinese side sternly ccndemnsthe policy of "separating pcliticsfrom econornics" which the Satogovernment stubbornly, clings to inSino-Japanese relations. That is apolicy of hostiiity tor.vards Chinaand the Chinese people resolutelyoppose it.
The Japanese side holds that thepolicy of "separating politics froraeconomics" adopted by the JapaneseGovernrnent in relations bet'r,vcenJapan and China runs cor.lnter tothe three political principtres andthe prindple that poiitics and ecc-n+rnics are inseparable. This poliqr
const-itutes a great obstacle hanrper-.ing the developrnent of reiations be-tween the two countr-ies. It is there-fore imperative to urge the JapaneseGovernment to immediately ehangethis poliey.
The Chinese side strongly de-nounces the Sato gor'^*nment forstepping up its eifcrts to follow U.S-in:periaiism- ior participating in thegfn-:piracls to c!'eate 'tsgo Chinas",nd icr barefacedly adopting a policyof hostiliti; torsards China.
Itre Chinese side reiterates thatto liherate Taiwan is China's inter-na] affair and that the Chinesepeopie wiii definitely Iiberate Tai-wan. The so-calied "peace treaty"concluded by the Japanese Govern-ment with the Chiang Kai-shekgang, which has long been rejectedby the Chinese people, is hostile tothe Chinese people and is iliegal andis resolutely opposed by the Chinese
The Japanese side agrees vrith thejust stand of the Chinese side. Itexplicitly states that the Governmentof the People's Republic of China isthe only legitimate government rep-resenting the Chinese peoplg thatTaiwan Province is an inseparablepart of China's territory, that thismust be the basis for understandingthe promotion of the normalizatianof diplomatic relations betweenJapan and China, and that it opposesthe conspiraey of creating "twoChinas" in any form.
The Chinese side sternly condemnsthe Sato government for redoublingits efforts in follor.ving the U.S. im-perialist policy of aggression in Asiaand for perpetuating the Japan-U.S."security treaty" against the wishesof the Japanese people.
?he Chinese side also points outthat this treatSr is for oppressing theJapanese people and is an aggressivemilitary allianee hostile to China andthe Asian people. It not oniy gravelytlrreatens peaee in Asia and through-
Peking P.evieza, ltio. 15
out the world, but will inevitablybring grave calamities to the Jap-anese people. The Chinese peopleresolutely oppose the Japan-U.S.military alliance treaty.
The Japanese side expresses itsunderstanding of the siand of tleChinese side and duly takes cogni-zance of the fact that the Japan-U.S. "seurit5r treaty" is ,a threat toChina and to the people of the Asian
couirtries, and that it constitutes a
serious obstacle to relations betweenJapan and China. The Japanese sidealso expresses the cietermiaaiion totake an independent siand and rvorkactively to prevent Japan trom get*
ting involved in a tzar of aggressionand to remove this great restrictionon its sovereignty.
Eoth sides hold that China andJapan are close neigh'oours and that
a traditional friendship exists be-tu'een the trvo pecples. The pt'o-motion of friendly- relations bet';r=eenthe trvo peoples and nor"malizal.ionof the relations betg,een the is-ocountries tlot onl-v conform to thecommon aspfuations of the peopie otChina and Japan, but is beneficialto preserving peace in Asia ard ihewhole world.
Both sides reached agr'e€m€:lt onrnemoranduia trade matters for 19t9.
