LETTER OF ADVICE TO QUEEN VICTORIA


SOURCE

Lin Tse-Hsu (Lin Zexu). Letter to the English Ruler. In Sources of Chinese Tradition, Volume II: From 1600 through the Twentieth Century, 2nd edition, ed. William Theodore de Bary and Richard Lufrano, 202205. New York: Columbia University Press, 2000. This famous 1839 letter prepared by Lin Zexu, an imperial commissioner, for the emperor to send to Queen Victoria, vividly reflects the cultural gap between the Confucian order of China and the thrusting mercantilism of Britain. Neither Lin s moral reasoning against the opium trade nor his condescending tone was likely to persuade the British to change course.

INTRODUCTION

persons and bad, unevenly. Consequently there are those who smuggle opium to seduce the Chinese people and so cause the spread of the poison to all provinces. Such persons who only care to profit themselves, and disregard their harm to others, are not tolerated by the laws of Heaven and are unanimously hated by human beings. His Majesty the Emperor, upon hearing of this, is in a towering rage. He has specially sent me, his commissioner, to come to Guangdong, and together with the governor-general and governor jointly to investigate and settle this matter. . . . We find that your country is sixty or seventy thousand li [one li is roughly a third of a mile] from China. Yet there are barbarian ships that strive to come here for trade for the purpose of making a great profit. The wealth of China is used to profit the barbarians. That is to say, the great profit made by barbarians is all taken from the rightful share of China. By what right do they then in return use the poisonous drug to injure the Chinese people? Even though the barbarians may not necessarily intend to do us harm, yet in coveting profit to an extreme, they have no regard for injuring others. Let us ask, where is your conscience? I have heard that the smoking of opium is very strictly forbidden by your country; that is because the harm caused by opium is clearly understood. Since it is not permitted to do harm to your own country, even less should you let the harm be passed on to other countriesmuch less to China! Of all that China exports to foreign countries, there is not a single thing that is not beneficial to people; they are of benefit when eaten, or of benefit when used, or of benefit when resold; all are beneficial. Is there a single article from China that has done any harm to foreign countries? Take tea and rhubarb, for example; the foreign countries cannot get along for a single day without them. If China cuts off these benefits with no sympathy for those who are to suffer, then what can the barbarians rely upon to keep themselves alive? Moreover the woolens, camlets, and longells [i.e., textiles] of foreign countries cannot be woven unless they obtain

A communication: Magnificently our great emperor soothes and pacifies China and the foreign countries, regarding all with the same kindness. If there is profit then he shares it with the peoples of the world; if there is harm, then he removes it on behalf of the world. This is because he takes the mind of Heaven-and-earth as his mind. The kings of your honorable country by a tradition handed down from generation to generation have always been noted for their politeness and submissiveness. We have read your successive tributary memorials saying: In general our countrymen who go to trade in China have always received His Majesty the Emperors gracious treatment and equal justice, and so on. Privately we are delighted with the way in which the honorable rulers of your country deeply understand the grand principles and are grateful for the Celestial grace. For this reason the Celestial Court in soothing those from afar has redoubled its polite and kind treatment. The profit from trade has been enjoyed by them continuously for two hundred years. This is the source from which your country has become known for its wealth. But after a long period of commercial intercourse, there appear among the crowd of barbarians both good

Chinese silk. If China again cuts off this beneficial export, what profit can the barbarians expect to make? As for other foodstuffs, beginning with candy, ginger, cinnamon, and so forth, and articles for use, beginning with silk, satin, chinaware, and so on, all the things that must be had by foreign countries are innumerable. On the other hand, articles coming from the outside to China can only be used as toys. We can take them or get along without them. Since they are not needed by China, what difficulty would there be if we closed the frontier and stopped the trade? Nevertheless, our Celestial Court lets tea, silk, and other goods be shipped without limit and circulated everywhere without begrudging it in the slightest. This is for no other reason but to share the benefit with the people of the whole world. The goods from China carried away by your country not only supply your own consumption and use but also can be divided up and sold to other countries, producing a triple profit. Even if you do not sell opium, you still have this threefold profit. How can you bear to go further, selling products injurious to others in order to fulfill your insatiable desire?. . . We have further learned that in London, the capital of your honorable rule, and in Scotland, Ireland, and other places originally no opium has been produced. Only in several places of India under your control, such as Bengal, Madras, Bombay, Patna, Benares, and Malwa, has opium been planted from hill to hill and ponds have been opened for its manufacture. For months and years work is continued in order to accumulate the poison. The obnoxious odor ascends, irritating Heaven and frightening the spirits. Indeed you, O King, can eradicate the opium plant in these places, hoe over the fields entirely, and sow in its stead the five grains [i.e., millet, barley, wheat, and so on]. Anyone who dares again attempt to plant and manufacture opium should be severely punished. This would really be a great, benevolent government policy that will increase the commonweal and get rid of evil. For this, Heaven must support you and the spirits must bring you good fortune, prolonging your old age and extending your descendants. All will depend on this act. . . . Now we have set up regulations governing the Chinese people. He who sells opium shall receive the death penalty and he who smokes it also the death penalty. Now consider this: If the barbarians do not bring opium, then how can the Chinese people resell it, and how can they smoke it? The fact is that the wicked barbarians beguile the Chinese people into a death trap. How then can we grant life only to these barbarians? He who takes the life of even one person still has to atone for it with his own life; yet is the harm done by opium limited to the taking of one life only? Therefore in the new regulations, in regard to those barbarians who bring opium to China,

the penalty is fixed at decapitation or strangulation. This is what is called getting rid of a harmful thing on behalf of mankind. . . . Our Celestial Dynasty rules over and supervises the myriad states and surely possesses unfathomable spiritual dignity. Yet the emperor cannot bear to execute people without having first tried to reform them by instruction. . . . May you, O King, check your wicked and sift out your vicious people before they come to China, in order to guarantee the peace of your nation, to show further the sincerity of your politeness and submissiveness, and to let the two countries enjoy together the blessings of peace. How fortunate, how fortunate indeed! After receiving this dispatch will you immediately give us a prompt reply regarding the details and circumstances of your cutting off the opium traffic. Be sure not to put this off. The above is what has to be communicated. [Vermilion endorsement of the emperor:] This is appropriately worded and quite comprehensive.

TREATY OF NANKING

William Frederick Mayers, ed. Treaties between the Empire of China and Foreign Powers, 13. Shanghai and London, 1877. Reprint. Taipei: Cheng-Wen, 1966. This treaty signed at the conclusion of the first Opium War (18391842) was the first in a long series of unequal treaties subsequently imposed on China by eighteen foreign powers. It granted Britain the island of Hong Kong in perpetuity, promised a fair and regular tariff, opened the ports of Guangzhou (Canton in the document below), Xiamen (Amoy below), Fuzhou (Fuchau-fu), Ningbo (Ningpo) and Shanghai to British residence and trade, and promised an indemnity to pay for the opium confiscated by the Chinese and for the cost of the war.

THE LAND SYSTEM OF THE HEAVENLY KINGDOM


SOURCE

Sources of Chinese Tradition, Volume II: From 1600 through the Twentieth Century, 2nd edition, ed. William Theodore de Bary and Richard Lufrano, 224 226. New York: Columbia University Press, 2000. The Taiping Uprising (18511864) attracted millions of followers, affected much of China, and posed a serious threat to the Qing dynasty. Taiping ideology was based on the idea that, being born of the same Father, men and women were all brothers and sisters under Heaven and should be equal. Egalitarianism was reflected in their laws though not always in their practice. The Land System of the Heavenly Kingdom, excerpted below, proposed that land should be equally divided among families on the basis of the number of family members over sixteen. It also made provision for the support of those who were unable to work.

INTRODUCTION

All officials who have rendered meritorious service are to receive hereditary stipends from the court. For the later adherents to the Taiping cause, every family in each military district (jun) is to provide one man to serve as a militia man. During an emergency they are to fight under the command of their officers to destroy the enemy and to

suppress bandits. In peacetime they are to engage in agriculture under the direction of their officers, tilling the land and providing support for their superiors. All land [in the country] is to be classified into nine grades. . . . The distribution of all land is to be based on the number of persons in each family, regardless of sex. A large family is entitled to more land, a small one to less. The land distributed should not be all of one grade but mixed. Thus for a family of six, for instance, three are to have fertile land and three barren landhalf and half of each. All the land in the country is to be cultivated by the whole population together. If there is an insufficiency [of land] in this place, move some of the people to another place. If there is an insufficiency in another place, move them to this one. All lands in the country are also to be mutually supporting with respect to abundance and scarcity. If this place has a drought, then draw upon the abundant harvest elsewhere in order to relieve the distress here. If there is a drought there, draw upon the abundant harvest here in order to relieve the distress there. Thus all the people of the country may enjoy the great blessings of the Heavenly Father, Supreme Ruler and Lord God-on-High. The land is for all to till, the food for all to eat, the clothes for all to wear, and money for all to spend. Inequality shall exist nowhere; none shall suffer from hunger or cold. . . . Mulberry trees are to be planted along the walls [of villages] throughout the country. All women are required to grow silkworms, to do weaving, and to make clothes. Every family of the country is required to raise five hens and two hogs, in keeping with the proper breeding seasons. During the harvest season, the Group Officer should direct [the grain collection by] the sergeants. Deducting the amount needed to feed the twenty-five families until next harvest season, he should collect the rest of the produce for storage in state granaries. The same method of collection is applicable to other kinds of products, such as barley, beans, ramie fiber, cotton clothes, silk, domestic animals, silver and copper cash, and so on, for all people under Heaven are of one family belonging to the Heavenly Father, the Supreme Ruler, the Lord God-on-High. Nobody should keep private property. All things should be presented to the Supreme Ruler, so that He will be enabled to make use of them and distribute them equally to all members of his great world-family. Thus all will be sufficiently fed and clothed. . . . The Group Officer must keep a record of the amount of grain and cash he has collected and report them to the Treasurers and Receiving and Disbursing Tellers. A state treasury and a church are to be established among every twenty-five families, under the direct administration of the Group Officer. All expenditures of the twenty-five families for weddings, births, or other festival occasions are to be
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

paid for out of the state treasury. But there is to be a fixed limit; not a penny is to be spent beyond that. . . . Thus, throughout the land in the contracting of marriages, wealth need be no consideration. In the twenty-five family units pottery-making, metalworking, carpentry, masonry, and other such skilled work should be performed by the sergeants and militiamen in the off-seasons from farming and military service. In conducting the different kinds of festival ceremonies for the twenty-five families under his administration, the Group Officer should hold religious services to pray to the Heavenly Father, the Supreme Ruler and Lord God-on-High. All the bad customs of the past must be completely abolished.

A PROCLAMATION AGAINST THE BANDITS OF GUANGDONG AND GUANGXI

Zeng Guofan. A Proclamation against the Bandits of Guangdong and Guangxi, 1854. In The Search for Modern China: A Documentary Collection, ed. Pei-Kai Cheng and Michael Lestz with Jonathan D. Spence, 146 149. New York: Norton, 1999. By 1854 the Taiping Uprising, which had originated in Guangxi Province, established its capital in Nanjing, controlled much of the central and lower Yangzi (Yangtze) area, and threatened North China. The Qing official Zeng Guofan was one of the major figures in the suppression of the rebellion. This proclamation reflects Zengs deeply Confucian outlook as he attacks the Christianity of the Yue (Yueh) bandits (the Taipings).

INTRODUCTION

It has been five years since the rebels Hung Hsiuchuan and Yang Hsiu-ching started their rebellion. They have inflicted bitter sorrow upon millions people and devastated more than 5,000 li of chou [regions] and hsien [counties]. Wherever they pass, boats of all sizes, and people rich and poor alike, have all been plundered and stripped bare; not one inch of grass has been left standing. The clothing has been stripped from the bodies of those captured by these bandits, and their money has been seized. Anyone with five taels or more of silver who does not contribute it to the bandits is forthwith decapitated. Men are given one ho [1/10th pint] of rice per day, and forced to march in the forefront in battle, to construct city walls, and dredge moats. Women are also given one ho of rice per day, and forced to stand guard on the parapets at night, and to haul rice and carry coal. The feet of women who refuse to unbind them are cut off and shown to other women as a warning. The corpses of

193

A Proclamation Against the Bandits of Guangdong and Guangxi

boatmen who secretly conspired to fell were hung upside down to show other boatmen as a warning. The Yueh [Guangdong and Guangxi] bandits indulge themselves in luxury and high position, while the people in our own Yangtze provinces living under their coercion are treated worse than animals. This cruelty and brutality appalls anyone with blood in his veins. Ever since the times of Yao, Shun, and the Three Dynasties, sages, generation after generation, have upheld the Confucian teachings, stressing proper human relationships, between ruler and minister, father and son, superiors and subordinates, the high and the low, all in their proper place, just as hats and shoes are not interchangeable. The Yueh bandits have stolen a few scraps from the foreign barbarians and worship the Christian religion. From their bogus ruler and bogus chief ministers down to their soldiers and menial underlings, all are called brothers. They say that only heaven can be called father; aside from him, all fathers among the people are called brothers, and all mothers are called sisters. Peasants are not allowed to till the land for themselves and pay taxes, for they say that the fields all belong to the Tien Wang [Heavenly King]. Merchants are not allowed to trade for profit, for they say that all goods belong to the Tien Wang. Scholars may not read the Confucian classics, for they have their so-called teachings of Jesus and the New Testament. In a single day several thousand years of Chinese ethical principles and proper human relationships, classical books, social institutions and statutes have all been completely swept away. This is not just a crisis for our Ching dynasty, but the most extraordinary crisis of all time for the Confucian teachings, which is why our Confucius and Mencius are weeping bitterly in the nether world. How can any educated person sit idly by without thinking of doing something? Since ancient times, those with meritorious accomplishments during their lifetimes have become spirits after death; the Kingly Way governs the living and the Way of the Spirits governs among the dead. Even rebellious ministers and wicked sons of the most vicious and vile sort show respect and awe toward the spirits. When Li Tzu-cheng reached Chu-fu [Confucius birthplace in Shandong Province], he did not molest the Temple of the Sage. When Chang Hsien-chung reached Tzu-tung, he sacrificed to Wen Chang [the patron spirit of literature]. But the Yueh bandits burned the school at Shen chou, destroyed the wooden tablet of Confucius, and wildly scattered the tablets of the Ten Paragons in the two corridors all over the ground. Afterwards, wherever they have passed, in every district, the first thing they have done is to burn down the temples, defiling the shrines and maiming the statues even of loyal ministers and righteous heroes such as the awesome Kuan Yu and Yuen Fei. Even Buddhist and Taoist temples, shrines of

guardian deities and altars to local gods have all been burned, and every statue destroyed. The ghosts and spirits in the world of darkness are enraged at this, and want to avenge their resentment. I, the Governor-General, having received His Imperial Majestys command leading 20,000 men advancing together on land and water, vow that I shall sleep on nettles and ship gall [to strengthen my determination] to exterminate these vicious traitors, to rescue our captured boats, and to deliver the persecuted people, not only in order to relieve the Emperor of his strenuous and conscientious labors from dawn to dusk, but also to comfort Confucius and Mencius for their silent sufferings over the proper human relationships; and only to avenge the millions who have died unjust deaths, but also to avenge the insults to all the spirits. Therefore, let this proclamation be disseminated far and near so that all may know the following: Any redblooded hero who assembles a company of righteous troops to assist in our extermination campaign will be taken in as my personal friend, and the troops given rations. Any Confucian gentleman who cherishes the Way, is pained at Christianity running rampant over the land, and who, in a towering rage, wants to defend our Way, will be made a member of the Governor-Generals personal staff and treated as a guest teacher. Any benevolent person, stirred by moral indignation, who contributes silver or assists with provisions, will be given a treasury receipt and a commission from the Board of Civil Appointments for a donation of 1,000 chin [1 chin 1 1/5 lb.] or less, and a special memorial will be composed requesting a liberal reward for a donation of over 1,000 chin. If anyone voluntarily returns after a long stay among the bandits, and kills one of their leaders or leads a city to surrender, he will be taken into the army of the Governor-General to the Emperor, will be given an official title. Anyone who has lived under the bandits coercion for some years, whose hair has grown several inches long, but who discards his weapon when the fighting is about to commence and returns to the fold barehanded, will receive an amnesty from the death sentence, and will be given travel expenses to return home. In the past, at the end of the Han, Tang, Yuan, and Ming, bands of rebels were innumerable, all because of foolish rulers and misgovernment, so that none of these rebellions could be stamped out. But today the Son of Heaven is deeply concerned and examines his character in order to reform himself, worships Heaven, and is sympathetic to the people. He has not increased the land tax, nor has he conscripted soldiers from households. With the profound benevolence of the sages, he is suppressing the cruel and worthless bandits. It does not require any great wisdom to see that sooner or later they will all be destroyed.

Treaty of Tianjin

Those of you who have been coerced into joining the rebels, or who willingly follow the traitors, and oppose the Imperial Crusade [are warned that] when the Imperial forces sweep down it will no longer be possible to discriminate between the good and evilevery person will be crushed. I, the Governor-General, am scant in virtue and of meager ability. I rely solely on two words, trust and loyalty, as the foundation for running the army. Above are the sun and the moon, below the ghosts and spirits; in this world, the vast waters of the Yangtze, and in the other world, the souls of loyal ministers and stalwart heroes who gave their lives in battle against previous rebellions. Let all peer into my heart and listen to my words. Upon arrival, this proclamation immediately has the force of law. Do not disregard it!

TREATY OF TIANJIN
INTRODUCTION

option of the British Government. He shall not be called upon to perform any ceremony derogatory to him as representing the Sovereign of an independent nation on a footing of equality with that of China. On the other hand, he shall use the same forms of ceremony and respect to His Majesty the Emperor as are employed by the ambassadors, ministers, or diplomatic agents of Her Majesty towards the Sovereigns of independent and equal European nations. It is further agreed, that Her Majestys Government may acquire at Peking a site for building, or may hire houses for the accommodation of Her Majestys Mission, and that the Chinese Government will assist it in so doing. Her Majestys Representative shall be at liberty to choose his own servants and attendants, who shall not be subjected to any kind of molestation whatever. Any person guilty of disrespect or violence to Her Majestys Representative, or to any member of his family or establishment, in deed or word, shall be severely punished.
VIII.

The Anglo-Chinese Treaty of Tianjin (1858), excerpted below, was a building block in the treaty port system. Originally intended to end the Second Opium War, the treaty included provisions whereby the Chinese government accepted western norms of diplomatic representation. In addition to reaffirming concessions made in the 1842 Treaty of Nanjing, the Treaty of Tianjin gave the British the right of diplomatic residence at Beijing (Peking), the right to travel in the interior, a revised tariff rate and an indemnity. Hostilities broke out again soon after the treaty was signed but its provisions were confirmed in the 1860 Treaty of Beijing (The Convention of Peking).

The Christian religion, as professed by Protestants or Roman Catholics, inculcates the practice of virtue, and teaches man to do as he would be done by. Persons teaching or professing it, therefore, shall alike be entitled to the protection of the Chinese authorities, nor shall any such, peaceably pursuing their calling, and not offending against the law, be persecuted or interfered with.
XI.

II.

For the better preservation of harmony in future, Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and His Majesty the Emperor of China mutually agree that, in accordance with the universal practice of great and friendly nations, Her Majesty the Queen, may, if she see fit, appoint ambassadors, ministers, or other diplomatic agents to the Court of Peking; and His Majesty the Emperor of China may, in like manner, if he see fit, appoint ambassadors, ministers, or other diplomatic agents to the Court of St. James.
III.

In addition to the cities and towns of Canton, Amoy, Fuchow, Ningpo, and Shanghai, opened by the Treaty of Nanking, it is agreed that British subjects may frequent the cities and ports of New Chwang, Tang-Chow, Tai-Wan (Formosa), Chau-Chow (Swatow), and Kiung-Chow (Hainan). They are permitted to carry on trade with whomsoever they please, and to proceed to and fro at pleasure with their vessels and merchandise. They shall enjoy the same privileges, advantages, and immunities, at the said towns and ports, as they enjoy at the ports already opened to trade, including the right of residence, of buying or renting houses, of leasing land therein, and of building churches, hospitals, and cemeteries.
LI.

His Majesty the Emperor of China hereby agrees that the ambassador, minister, or other diplomatic agent, so appointed by Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, may reside, with his family and establishment, permanently at the capital, or may visit it occasionally, at the
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

It is agreed, that henceforward the character I (barbarian) shall not be applied to the Government or subjects of Her Britannic Majesty, in any Chinese official document issued by the Chinese authorities, either in the capital or in the provinces.

LIV.

The British Government and its subjects are hereby confirmed in all privileges, immunities, and advantages conferred on them by previous Treaties; and it is hereby expressly stipulated, that the British Government and its subjects will be allowed free and equal participation in all privileges, immunities, and advantages that may have been, or may be hereafter, granted by His Majesty the Emperor of China to the Government or subjects of any other nation.

means to become their equal, and that depends solely upon human effort. With regard to the present situation, several observations may be made: in not wasting human talents, we are inferior to the barbarians; in not wasting natural resources, we are inferior to the barbarians; in allowing no barrier to come between the ruler and the people, we are inferior to the barbarians; and in the matching of words with deeds, we are also inferior to the barbarians. The remedy for these four points is to seek the causes in ourselves. They can be changed at once if only the emperor would set us in the right direction. There is no need to learn from the barbarians in these matters. . . . We have only one thing to learn from the barbarians, and that is strong ships and effective guns. . . . Funds should be allotted to establish a shipyard and arsenal in each trading port. A few barbarians should be employed, and Chinese who are good in using their minds should be selected to receive instruction so that in turn they may teach many craftsmen. When a piece of work is finished and is as good as that made by the barbarians, the makers should be rewarded with an official juren degree and be permitted to participate in the metropolitan examinations on the same basis as other scholars. Those whose products are of superior quality should be rewarded with the jinshi degree [ordinarily conferred in the metropolitan examinations] and be permitted to participate in the palace examinations like others. The workers should be paid double so that they will not quit their jobs. Our nations emphasis on civil service examinations has sunk deep into peoples minds for a long time. Intelligent and brilliant scholars have exhausted their time and energy in such useless things as the stereotyped examination essays, examination papers, and formal calligraphy. . . . We should now order one-half of them to apply themselves to the manufacturing of instruments and weapons and to the promotion of physical studies. . . . The intelligence and ingenuity of the Chinese are certainly superior to those of the various barbarians; it is only that hitherto we have not made use of them. When the government above takes delight in something, the people below will pursue it further their response will be like an echo carried by the wind. There ought to be some people of extraordinary intelligence who can have new ideas and improve on Western methods. At first they may take the foreigners as their teachers and models; then they may come to the same level and be their equals; finally they may move ahead and surpass them. Herein lies the way to self-strengthening. . . . It may be argued: Guan Zhong repelled the barbarians and Confucius acclaimed his virtue; the state of Chu adopted barbarian ways and [Confucius in] the Spring and Autumn Annals condemned them. Is not what you are proposing contrary to the Way of the sages? No, it is

INTRODUCTION

Chinas repeated military defeats by foreigners persuaded some high Qing officials that the Chinese needed to study the military sciences from other countries. What became known as the Self-strengthening movement of the 1860s1890s in which Chinese provincial officials set up language schools, arsenals, shipyards, coal mines and iron and steel works was to a large extent based on the ideas of the scholar-official Feng Guifen written in 1861.

ON THE MANUFACTURE OF FOREIGN WEAPONS

According to a general geography compiled by an Englishman, the territory of China is eight times that of Russia, ten times that of the United States, one hundred times that of France, and two hundred times that of Great Britain. . . . Yet we are shamefully humiliated by the four nations, not because our climate, soil, or resources are inferior to theirs, but because our people are inferior. . . . Now, our inferiority is not due to our allotment [i.e., our inherent nature] from Heaven, but is rather due to ourselves. If it were allotted us by Heaven, it would be a shame but not something we could do anything about. Since the inferiority is due to ourselves, it is a still greater shame but something we can do something about. And if we feel ashamed, there is nothing better than selfstrengthening. Why are the Western nations small and yet strong? Why are we large and yet weak? We must search for the

not. When we speak of repelling the barbarians, we must have the actual means to repel them, and not just empty bravado. If we live in the present day and speak of repelling the barbarians we should ask with what instruments we are to repel them. . . . [The answer is that] we should use the instruments of the barbarians but not adopt the ways of the barbarians. We should use them so that we can repel them. Some have asked why we should not just purchase the ships and man them with [foreign] hirelings, but the answer is that this will not do. If we can manufacture, repair, and use them, then they are our weapons. If we cannot manufacture, repair, and use them, then they are still the weapons of others. . . . In the end the way to avoid trouble is to manufacture, repair, and use weapons by ourselves. Only thus can we pacify the empire; only thus can we become the leading power in the world; only thus can we restore our original strength, redeem ourselves from former humiliations, and maintain the integrity of our vast territory so as to remain the greatest country on earth. . . .

and power by their own efforts. Is it not fully clear that they are similar to us and that their methods can easily be put into practice? If we let Chinese ethics and Confucian teachings serve as the foundation, and let them be supplemented by the methods used by the various nations for the attainment of prosperity and power, would it not be the best of all solutions? Moreover, during the past twenty years since the opening of trade, a great number of foreign chiefs have learned our written and spoken language, and the best of them can even read our classics and histories. They are generally able to speak on our dynastic regulations and civil administration, on our geography and the condition of our people. On the other hand, our officials from the governors down are completely ignorant of foreign countries. In comparison, should we not feel ashamed? The Chinese officials have to rely upon stupid and preposterous interpreters as their eyes and ears. The mildness or severity of the original statement, its sense of urgency or lack of insistence, may be lost through their tortuous interpretations. Thus frequently a small grudge may develop into a grave hostility. At present the most important political problem of the empire is to control the barbarians, yet the pivotal function is entrusted to such people. No wonder that we understand neither the foreigners nor ourselves and cannot distinguish fact from untruth. Whether in peace negotiations or in deliberating for war, we are unable to grasp the essentials. This is indeed the underlying trouble of our nation.

Western books on mathematics, mechanics, optics, light, and chemistry contain the best principles of the natural sciences. In the books on geography, the mountains, rivers, strategic points, customs, and native products of the hundred countries are fully listed. Most of this information is beyond the reach of the Chinese people. . . . If we wish to use Western knowledge, we should establish official translation bureaus in Guangzhou and Shanghai. Brilliant students not over fifteen years of age should be selected from those areas to live and study in these schools on double allowances. Westerners should be appointed to teach them the spoken and written languages of the various nations, and famous Chinese teachers should be engaged to teach them classics, history, and other subjects. At the same time they should learn mathematics. (Note: All Western knowledge is derived from mathematics. . . . If we wish to adopt Western knowledge, it is but natural that we should learn mathematics.). . . China has many brilliant people. There must be some who can learn from the barbarians and surpass them. . . . It is from learning that the principles of government are derived. In discussing good government, the great historian Sima Qian said (following Xunzi), Take the latter-day kings as your models. This was because they were nearer in time; their customs had changed from the past and were more similar to the present; and their ideas were not so lofty as to be impracticable. It is my opinion that today we should also take the foreign nations as our examples. They live at the same time and in the same world with us; they have attained prosperity

Letters of a Chinaman to English Readers

LETTER I

On Priests and Prayer I have always been much interested in the efficacy of prayers, and have always regretted that there were not more definite and reliable data at hand in regard to this subject. We have no exact data as to which form of prayer is the most efficacious. Then, again, we are completely in the dark as to the relative efficiency of prayers, whether addressed to the Trinity, to the individual members of the Trinity, or any of the saints. Many years ago, when Mr. Tyndall took this important subject up, I had great hopes that we might arrive at some definite and reliable knowledge on this great subject. Mr. Tyndall suggested that experiments should be conducted in a London hospital with a view of ascertaining how much prayer was equal to an ounce of quinine; this was referred to as Tyndalls prayer-gauge. Had the experiments been carried out as he suggested, they could not have failed to have been of great value to the whole world. As to the formulae of prayers, I think we may reasonably conclude, from all the knowledge at hand in England, that the Lords Prayer would have the highest efficiency. I should say that mathematically we might consider this as unity, and that all other prayers should be multiplied by some co-efficient less than unity. But who is to establish the coefficient of the numerous forms of prayer that we find in use among the clergymen of the Church of England? After long and careful observation of this subject, I am led to the belief that prayer is not so efficient as has been supposed; I think that nearly all prayers have a very low co-efficientin other words, in order to make them efficacious, we should employ a great number of them. If we look at the matter from a practical standpoint, I do not see that it is possible for there to be any misunderstanding on the subject; it matters not how low the coefficient of prayer may be, provided that the number of prayers is great enough. The question of prayer has been the subject of careful study for the last 6,000 years, and, as we know, the Chinese have probably given more attention to this subject than any other people in the world. I think that the conclusions that we Chinese have arrived at after long years of careful experiment and observation cannot fail to be of great value and interest to the religious world in England. We very soon learned that prayers were not very effectivei.e., when considered individually; to have any appreciable effect a great number of them was required. We, however, found by experiment that if a prayer was written on a piece of paper and put into a teacup and turned round once that it was just as effective as if it had been repeated orally. If we put ten prayers into a teacup and rotated the cup ten times, it recorded a hundred prayers, each one of which was just as effective as any other prayer; this was a great

and important discovery. Careful study and investigation also showed most conclusively that this system might be enlarged to any extent; so now we print a million prayers on thin, light paper, we place these in a large cylinder which rotates easily on a fine pivot, and by gearing it up and attaching it to a crank we are able to rotate it ten times by turning the crank round once. Suppose, now, that one wishes to pray; the only thing to be done is to give the crank one turn on its axis in order to register ten millions of prayers, each one of which is just as effective as any other prayer. By grinding away at the handle for a few minutes, as many prayers may be recorded by one person as could be prayed by a whole nation orally in a week. This system has other advantages; as we are completely in the dark as to the comparative efficiency of prayers, it may be possible, if one prays orally, that one may repeat over and over again a prayer that has only a very low efficiency; but, with the Chinese system, a good many different kinds may be included, some of which, according to the laws of chance, may be relatively efficient; therefore, there is a greater degree of certainty in the Chinese praying-machines than is possible in England, where the relative efficiency of prayer is unknown, and only a few can be repeated. May I, therefore, recommend to your clergymen that they should employ a Chinese praying-machine, which is easily made out of a tin can and a bit of wire? I feel certain that if this system is given a fair trial it will be found quite as effective, prayer for prayer, as any other system; moreover, it will save a lot of time. AH SIN
LETTER II

English and Chinese Superstition I thank you very much indeed for publishing my letter in the Freethinker. I have thought that my experiences might not be uninteresting to some of your thoughtful readers. When I had passed my examination in China, I took up the study of the English language, and when I had obtained a grasp of what appeared to me at that time a most difficult tongue, I made a study of English literature, making myself fairly well acquainted with the writings of Darwin, Spencer, Huxley, and many others. I was delighted with the great learning of your wise men. It appeared to me that if one understood the English language a totally new field of thought was open. I was surprised at the great skill of your leading scientific men; I was charmed with their system of reasoning. Quite true, nearly everything that I found in the writings of these men had been foreshadowed by Confucius and some of our great Chinese sages. But the completeness of the English system of reasoning and thought delighted me. However,
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

Letters of a Chinaman to English Readers

as I progressed in English learning, I was constantly running across questions that greatly puzzled me. There were at that time in China a considerable number of English and American missionaries, representing a great variety of different kinds of religion. In order to get practice in speaking English I used to seek out these gentlemen and converse with them. Just imagine my surprise at their foolish twaddle, after having read Huxley, Darwin, and Spencer! Evidently there must be two totally different kinds of men in Englandthe scientific, who thinks and writes the works which I had so much admiredand the foolish, who never thinks and who seems to be completely without the power of reasoning. To say the least, I was greatly puzzled. I then went to America, and finally came to England and made a study of English literature and laws, and I flatter myself that after about six years of study. I was fairly proficient in the subjects I had taken up. The more I studied your literature, your laws and your religion, the more I became convinced that the people of Europe and America were divided into two distinct classesthe logical and the illogicalthose who could think, and those who seemed absolutely bereft of all power of reasoningthe extremes in both directions. I was greatly amused on meeting and conversing with your priests and parsonseuphoniously dubbed DevilDodgers by many. I found that these gentlemen were quite unable to give any logical reasons why they believed such impossible doctrines and absurd superstitions. For instance, I was at a complete loss to understand how it was possible for intelligent men to believe in the remarkable fish, snake, and devil stories in the Bible, It then occurred to me that these gentlemen connected with the Church only pretended to believe because their living depended upon doing so. In speaking to non-clerical people on the subject I found that only a very small number of the intelligent men I met believed anything at all; they generally said in an off-hand sort of way: Oh, it does well enough for the wife and the kids. Then again, I found that in good society it was considered very indelicate indeed to even refer to religious subjects. I very soon learnt that the so-called believers regarded their religion as a species of very delicate theological fungus, growing in a dark and dismal cavern, so delicate indeed that the least ray of the sunlight of reason would at once prove fatal to it. In some cases I attempted to discuss the relative merits of the Chinese and English systems of religion, and was met with the knock-down argument: You can reason on anything, on any mortal thing in this world, except Christianity. Christianity is above reason; one is not permitted to reason on anything that relates to the Christian Faith. This was said by people who pretended to believe in Christian mythology.
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

It never occurred to these gentlemen for one moment that any religion could be made unassailable if its adherents assumed the same position. Suppose, for instance, that the religious beliefs of the Fiji Islanders as they originally existed should be above reason, then of course it would be quite impossible for anyone to show the absurdity of their system of belief. In England I often see articles in the papers ridiculing Chinese superstitious and religion, and I have often attempted to reply to these articles. However, upon taking my attempt to the editor. I generally received the stereotyped reply: Oh! yes, this is very good indeed. I like it immensely. It is very witty, and at the same time very logical, but we publish a newspaper to sell, and people would not take it into their families if we should publish your letters. The fact is your people wish to hear but one side of the story. They cannot stand having the truth told to them by the other side. I think that I have made myself fairly familiar with all the leading superstitions of China and England, and I am quite willing to admit the truth, that in China we have a very large class who are extremely ignorant and unreasoning. They have ancient superstitions which have come down through countless ages, and unfortunately they believe implicitly in them. These ignorant people fancy that there are certain powers in the air and in the earth, that have to be dealt with through the agency of necromancers and geomancers, and they pay these charlatans a considerable amount of money to act as intermediaries between themselves and these imaginary air and earth dragons. This kind of superstition, which, however, only exists among our ignorant classes, is generally known as the Fung Shui. Certainly it is a bothersome and expensive form of superstition, and my countrymen would be much better off without it. Of this there can be no question. There is not a learned man in China to-day, or, in fact, a high official of any kind who would not be pleased to have our ignorant people relieved of all their superstitious fears and of all their belief in supernatural agencies. I have no hesitation in saying that if the very best men that one could find in Europe and America should go to China, and take with them a fair amount of physical apparatus, and deliver scientific lectures, that they would be very well received. If some clever European could thoroughly master our language and come to China and lecture on the system of Darwin and the theory of Herbert Spencer, it would do away with much of our superstition, and would do our people an immense amount of good. I am sure the Government and the wealthy and intelligent classes would do all in their power to help the matter on. But, unfortunately, these are not the kind of men that Europe and America send out to China. They do not send their best men, and they do not go to our country to ask us to do away with superstitions altogether, but rather to

199

Letters of a Chinaman to English Readers

swap off our present Fung Shui and take on one which is still more expensive and bothersome. China is a very thickly populated country. The people, according to French philosophers, are able to get about twice as much out of the soil as the French are able to do, and the French are the cleverest agriculturists outside of China. The art of getting the most out of the land which will enable the greatest possible number to live off a given territory, has been greatly intensified in China, and even with this intensification of production, the population is so vast that it is necessary for the agriculturist to work unceasingly, or starve. Suppose, now, that our people should exchange their Fung Shui for the English system; suppose that they should take over the English Sunday Fung Shui, it would then require one entire day in every week to propitiate and make peace with these dragons and devils. It would also be necessary for them to say over certain formulae several times in the day to pacify other imaginary phantoms of the air. All this would take time. They would simply starve. It would therefore be evident that our people could not possibly exchange their present Fung Shui for one which would require at least ten times as much to propitiate. It would take too much time. Then, again, the English geomancers and necromancers demand much more to act as intermediaries between the people and the air phantoms than the Chinese necromancers, who perform the same imaginary service for the ignorant Chinese. All this might be considered very interesting from a purely philosophical standpoint, providing that it did not do any harm, but unfortunately there is a tragic side also. Your necromancers insist upon forcing their particular Fung Shui upon us, while our ignorant classes are equally determined to stick to their old Fung Shui and to reject the new one, which, according to our way of thinking, is at least a hundredfold as foolish and impossible as our own. We have learnt to till the soil to a greater degree of perfection than any other people that have ever lived in the world. Consequently, more of us are able to live in comfort off the land than is possible in any other country. But although we are very proficient in supporting human life off the products of the earth, we are extremely deficient in all systems and machinery intended for the purpose of destroying human life. In Europe and America, however, clever scientific men, having long made a study of destroying human life, have reduced their machinery and their system to a very high degree of perfection. In fact, incredible as it may seem, I have seen in England an automatic man-killer, which works by itself by simply touching a button. This is truly marvellous. It is also horrible. It therefore follows that, with your trained fighting-man and your automatic man-killers, you are able to invade our country and

attempt to thrust your Fung Shui upon us, and this has resulted in the death of many millions of Chinese during the last sixty years. We do not want your Fung Shui, we do not wish for any system of religion in which devils and miracles have any place whatsoever. We do not like supernaturalism. To every thinking man in the world supernaturalism is simply superstition, and we do not like superstition: we have too much of it already. We therefore pray you to treat us as you would like to be treated yourselves, and withdraw your Devil-Dodgers, necromancers, geomancers, and your foolish and degrading superstitions from our country, and allow us to work out our own salvation, and to gradually do away with our own Fung Shui as best we can. Both are bothersome and foolish. If, however, you will attend to your own Fung Shui, we will attend to ours. I have never yet seen an Englishman, or, in fact, any Christian who is able to hold an argument on religious subjects with a Chinese. I never have found the man that can show what advantage would accrue to us by abandoning our own superstitions and taking over the superstitions of the English. If there is such a man, I hereby challenge him to a fair discussion in his own language. AH SIN
LETTER III

Who Made the World? I thank you very much for publishing my two letters. With your leave I shall translate some of your publications and send them to my friends in China. A few weeks ago I heard some English gentlemen discussing the merits of Sir Robert Balls late work, entitled The Worlds Beginning. They all seemed to agree that it was a remarkable work, so simple and direct that anyone could understand it. I was told that Sir Robert was the leading astronomer in England, and that his late work had been written expressly for beginners. Evidently it was just what I wanted, and I lost no time in purchasing a copy and reading it. I was pleased I was more than pleasedI was delighted. The language was simple and easy to understand, the reasoning good, and the logic sound. It appears to me that there cannot be the least doubt about the absolute truth of the theory laid down and reasoned out. It must be so; and what is more, everyone that I have spoken to on the subject agrees with me. Nobody seems to question it. It appears to be accepted by everyone as a matter of course. This being so, let us see now what Sir Robert Ball teaches, and what is admitted to be quite true in England and America. He says that this world came into its present form by being condensed from a white hot cloud of gas, or matter
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

200

Letters of a Chinaman to English Readers

so very hot and attenuated that it appeared in space as a nebula, or disorganised cloud of white-hot earthy substances such as lime, clay, sand, iron, etc. He says that this hot cloud very slowly condensed and formed our sun and all the planets, including this earth. He says that other worlds than ours are being formed at the present moment, and that we can actually see them with a large telescope in the process of forming in the great spiral nebula, all of which appears very wonderful indeed. I have read this remarkable work with great interest, and, strange as it may seem, I find that Sir Robert Ball does not once mention the name of the Jewish Jehovah or the Christian God as having had anything to do with the making of the world. Why is this? It is either true or false that Jehovah made the world in six days and rested on the seventh. If it is true, why did Sir Robert write this book, and why does everyone accept his theory as being true? If neither the Jehovah of the Jews nor the Christian God made this world, why do you spend good money to teach such a foolish falsehood to our people? Why do you in England accept Sir Robert Balls account of the Creation, and teach the old Jewish account to us in China? The Chinese philosophers have always taught us that the world has always existed, and therefore it was not created. They say, It has always been so and will always remain so; that everything came about in an ordinary manner and according to natural law; that there never was a special creation or a miracle, and never can be one. This is not far off what Sir Robert tells us now; it is certainly very near the truth as it is understood by all the learned men of today. Let us see now what the missionaries are attempting to teach in China. They tell us that this world, including the sun, moon, and stars, was snapped into existence out of nothing by the Jewish Jehovah in a few hours. That is something like taking a snapshot photograph. Then another snap, and all the animals and plants were made. Then a third snap, and man and woman made their appearance, full-grown, and able to walk and talk and eat. All was done inside of six days, and about six thousand years ago. Then the God that did all this rested on the seventh day. This is certainly why Sunday is observed, there is no question about it; and this is what your missionaries are attempting to make our people believe to-day. This is what you are paying hundreds of thousands of pounds a year to teach to my countrymen. True, it is not good enough for grown-up people in England, so you attempt to force it upon us. I wish it to be distinctly understood that this account of the so-called Creation appears to us to be foolish and absurd in the extreme. We could not believe such a grotesque fable if we tried to. Many of our people resent the attempt to force such stupid falsehoods upon us, and trouble and bloodshed result. I have no hesitation in saying that if you should send Sir Robert Ball to us, to teach the theories that he teaches so successfully in England, that he would be well received, his

doctrines would be accepted as they have been here, and there would be no trouble or bloodshed. You would find our people sensible enough to understand and accept his theory. There could be no trouble or opposition, because Sir Roberts theory is true, and he has the reasoning power to make others see that it is true. I would even say morehe leaves no door open to enable one to escape conviction. His theory is true, and in China we love and admire the truth. Once more allow me to contrast this with what the paid missionaries are now attempting to teach in China. The story they tell is foolish in the extreme, and has every appearance of being a fable; and the more they attempt to prove it the worse they make it appear. It is even too absurd for our children; really we are not such fools as you take us to be. We therefore pray you to withdraw your ignorant and misguided missionaries, and their stupid falsehoods, from our country, and send us your best scientific men; then all will go well. Peace and missionaries cannot both abide in China, and we prefer peace. AH SIN
LETTER IV

The Way Out of the Trouble Some few days ago I had the good fortune to meet a very pious English gentleman who had for years given large sums to keep up the Missionary Propaganda in China. I asked him what his object was in attempting to force his religion upon us. I called his attention to the fact that we had been a civilised nation for many thousands of years, and that before our country was invaded by missionaries we were a law-abiding people. Many European writers had shown that there was less crime amongst us than amongst any other people. Moreover, twice as many of us could live in comfort off a square mile of land as was possible in Europe or America. As our morality and conduct was of the highest order, and as we were contented and happy, what did he wish to change? What could be changed that would make it better for us? He admitted all this, but said our religion was all wrong. The missionaries that he was helping to support wished us to become a Christian people. They wished us to believe in the Lord Jesus and be saved. But I said countless millions of good and virtuous Chinamen have lived blameless lives and died thousands of years before Christ is said to have been born, and many millions have died since that never even heard of him. Certainly they got on very well for a long time without being saved. He said we were heathens, and the Bible held out no hope for us. Jesus Christ was the only name given under heaven whereby one could be saved. But certainly no one would believe for a moment that all the good people of the greatest empire on earth would be lost or burnt in fire and brimstone to all

201

Treaty of Shimonoseki, 1895

eternity because they did not believe something that they had never heard of. He could only say: Gods will be done. Why should we accept Christianity? We have three fairly good religions already, which will compare favorably with any three kinds of Christianity. If we changed our religion it would not put better coats on our backs. It certainly would not give us more to eat. Where could one find a Christian that could get as much out of soil as we do? Would our morals be improved? If so, where could we find an example of a higher morality amongst Christians than that possessed by us before we had ever seen a missionary. Would we be made happier? If so, where could we find a nation where peace and happiness would be more secure than in China before our country was invaded by foreigners? No. What then was the advantage to be gained? Why do you send missionaries to our country to stir up strife and cause an infinite amount of bloodshed and suffering if there is nothing to be gained by it? We certainly do not want them, we will never accept their religion, that is absolutely impossible. We would not have it at any price, and all attempts to force it upon us are vain and hopeless. Therefore why not keep the missionaries at home and save your own money and our lives? But, says he, our Lord has commanded and we must obey, Go thou and preach the Gospel to every living thing. This to my mind is a wicked and mischievous doctrine, and I have no hesitation in saying it ought to be abandoned at once, and before another life is added to the long list that have already perished. This supposed command contains ten words, every one of which has cost the Chinese nation a million and a half of human lives. I think it will be admitted by all, that it would be a good thing for all parties concerned if this doctrine could be disregarded or abandoned. There is plenty of precedent for doing so. Other mischievous doctrines have been abandoned with good results. Why not this, the worst of all? For instance, less than 300 years ago, innocent old women were hunted all over Europe and burnt at the stake for the impossible crime of witchcraft, a crime which every child knows to be impossible at the present moment. It was believed in those dreadful days that these old women had supernatural powers. Some of them were burnt for causing storms at sea by stirring up soap-suds with their stockings. The Pope of Rome, who is infallible, commanded his priests to use more vigilance in searching out witches and putting them to death, especially those that caused the bad weather; while the Protestants, not to be outdone by the Catholics, pursued and burnt supposed witches by the thousand because they found these words in their Bible: Thou shall not suffer a witch to live. It is admitted by Christian historians that some hundreds of thousands of poor old women suffered a painful and ignominious death because the teachers of

a debased theology found in their so-called Holy Book this dreadful command. But the number of lives which has been lost by this mischievous doctrine is nothing to be compared with the still more terrible doctrine, Go thou and preach the Gospel to every living creature. For instance, it has been estimated that about two hundred thousand innocent people lost their lives in Europe in 200 years on account of supposed witchcraft before this villainous doctrine was abandoned. But in China during the last sixty years rather more than fifteen millions of our people have lost their lives on account of the attempt to force Christianity upon us; or, say, about seventy-five times as many of my countrymen have perished on account of having the Gospel preached to them during the last sixty years as perished in Europe in 200 years on account of the twin doctrine of witchcraft. Confucius, in fact all our great sages, have taught us over and over again to have nothing whatsoever to do with anyone who pretends to have dealings with the supernatural. They have told us if we allow supernaturalism to enter our country it can only result in the most awful calamity. Add having all the horrors of the Middle Ages in Europe before us, we naturally believe that our great philosophers were quite right, and we have been attempting to keep all kinds of foreign superstition out of the country, while Christian nations have been equally determined to force their own particular kind of superstition upon us. We do not believe any of the supernatural doctrines brought to our country. They all appear extremely foolish and absurd to us, and I feel sure that no new form of supernaturalism can ever hope to find a foothold in our country. May I, therefore, pray you to abandon the wicked doctrine of the ten mischievous words, and withdraw your missionaries and Devil-Dodgers from our country? We do not want them. AH SIN

TREATY OF SHIMONOSEKI, 1895


INTRODUCTION

Defeat in the Sino-Japanese War of 18941895 came as an appalling shock to the Chinese. Japan, a much smaller country that had been regarded as a sort of disciple to China, had been more successful with its modernization efforts than China. The significant territorial and commercial concessions made by China to Japan in this treaty and the huge indemnity exacted caused great unrest among the Chinese scholar gentry and accelerated demands for reform.

ARTICLE 1

China recognises definitively the full and complete independence and autonomy of Korea, and, in consequence,

It attacks missionaries devilsand their heretical beliefs, blaming them for the drought of that period and promising the use of magic powers to destroy all that was foreign in China. Although the movement was originally anti-Qing as well as antiforeign, by the time of the Boxer insurgence (1899 1900), which did indeed kill foreigners and destroy their property, it had pledged loyalty to the dynasty.

As a guarantee of the faithful performance of the stipulations of this Act, China consents to the temporary occupation by the military forces of Japan of Weihaiwei, in the province of Shantung [Shandong]. [Later in the same day, Japan and China agreed to the terms of the occupation.] Upon payment of the first two installments of the war indemnity herein stipulated for and the exchange of the ratifications of the Treaty of Commerce and navigation, the said place shall be evacuated by the Japanese forces, provided the Chinese Government consents to pledge, under suitable and sufficient arrangements, the Customs revenue of China as security for the payment of the principal and interest of the remaining instalments of the said indemnity. In the event that no such arrangements are concluded, such evacuation shall only take place upon the payment of the final instalment of said indemnity. It is, however, expressly understood that no such evacuation shall take place until after the exchange of the ratifications of the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation. . . .

The rapid spread of the Boxer movement in North China (18981900) can largely be attributed to antiforeign feeling inspired both by foreign military and political pressure on China and by the activities of missionaries in North China. The edict reprinted below outlines an undertaking to cleanse China of foreigners (thus restoring normal weather) and the promise of rewards for those who support for the Boxer movement.

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

Revolution is the universal principle of evolution. Revolution is a universal principle of the world. Revolution is the essence of the struggle for survival or destruction in a time of transition. Revolution submits to heaven and responds to mens needs. Revolution rejects what is corrupt and keeps the good. Revolution is the advance from barbarism to civilization. Revolution turns slaves into masters. A man may have his own thoughts, ten men may have the thoughts of ten men, a thousand million men may have the thoughts of a thousand million men, a myriad of men may have the thoughts of a myriad of men. Nevertheless, even if each man has his own thoughts, there is not one who does not share these thoughts in common with the others. Dwellings, food, clothing, or utensils, whether good or bad, beautiful or ugly, are one and all buried deeply, and shift secretly, stir about in the bosom, clash in the brain, and lead to debate on what is good, what bad, what beautiful, what ugly. What is good is kept, what is not good is rejected, what is beautiful is kept, what is not beautiful is rejected, and the ultimate kernel of what should be kept and what rejected is precisely what emerges from revolution. Let us go a step further. If we take a panoramic view of things, above and below, ancient and modern, religion and ethics, politics and learning, we see on close examination that there is none which had not undergone weeding out by the process of evolution, and in the course of time appears as it is now. Since this is the case, revolution is an everyday thing. However, there are extraordinary ones,

205

Revolutionary Army Tract

too. We have heard of the English revolution of 1688, the American revolution of 1775 and the French revolution of 1870, revolutions which submitted to heaven and responded to mens need, which removed the corrupt and kept what was good, which advanced from barbarism to civilization, and which turned slaves into masters. They sacrificed the individual to benefit the community, and they sacrificed the nobility to benefit the common people, so that everybody could enjoy equality and freedom. . . . When I read the Diary of Ten Days at Yangchow and Account of the Chiating Massacre, my tears came spontaneously before I finished reading them. I speak out to proclaim to my fellowcountrymen: Were not the Diary of Ten Days at Yangchow and Account of the Chiating Massacre typical of the slaughter of Han which the Manchus perpetrated in every chou and hsien? These two books are merely one or two cases treated very briefly. If you think of those days, when troops were let loose, burning and plundering, when strict orders were issued to shave heads, and wherever the cavalry of the Manchu scoundrels reached there was murder and pillage (you can imagine that), what really took place must have amounted to ten times more than the two episodes of which accounts exist. For these two incidents which are known to everyone, there are a hundred thousand Yangchows and Chiatings. When I think of them, the iron enters my soul and I cannot hold back, I am impelled to proclaim this to my fellowcountrymen: The Diary of Ten Days at Yangchow says: On the second day of the month, we heard that officials were already functioning in fu, tao, chou and hsien, having with them pacification notices, and distributing everywhere edicts enjoining the population not to panic. Again, orders went out to temples and monasteries to cremate the heaped corpses. Moreover, women had hidden themselves there and some had died of fright or from starvation. From the registers of burned corpses it can be estimated that in not less that eight days over 800,000 were disposed of in this way, and the figure does not include those who threw themselves into wells or rivers, or locked their doors and (died by) fire or hanging. I also say to my fellowcountrymen: When the Manchu scoundrels entered the Passes, were not those butchered by them the great great grandfathers of your great great grandfathers? Were they not the uncles of the great great grandfathers of your great great grandfathers? Were not those debauched by the Manchu scoundrels the wives, daughters or sisters of the great great grandfathers of your great great grandfathers? The Book of Rites says: A (filial) son cannot live under the same sky with the murderer of his father and elder uncles. Even a child understands this. Hence, if as a son, you cannot revenge

your father and his elder brothers, you entrust this duty to your own sons, and your sons must entrust it to your grandchildren, and they to your great grandchildren and so to the fifth and seventh generations. Now, this feud of your great great grandfathers (sic) is now the feud of your fathers and their brothers today. If it is not avenged and yet you continue to speak of filial piety, I cannot see what you mean by piety. If the spirits of your great great grandfathers are still living, they surely will be unable to close their eyes in peace in the Nine Springs. . . . If you want thoroughgoing construction, you must first have destruction. If you want thoroughgoing destruction, you must first have construction. This axiom has not changed since time immemorial. The revolution we are carrying out today is a revolution which will destroy in order to construct. However, if you wish to destroy you must first possess the means to construct. The great Italian leader Mazzini, founder of his country, once said finely: Revolution and education go hand-in-hand together. I cry out in front of my fellowcountrymen: Revolutionary education, and I explain it further as follows: Before revolution there must be education, after revolution there must be education. . . . Tseng Kuo-fan, Tso Tsung-tang and Li Hung-chang were granted posthumous titles of Wen-cheng, Wen-hsiang and Wen-chung by emperors of the Great Ching dynasty. They were distinguished officials, honoured as the Three Statesmen of the Tung-chih Revival, whom the man in the street respects as marquises and ministers of state, and about whom examination candidates and young people speculate and whom they revere. But I have heard that the German prime minister Bismarck upbraided Li Hungchang with the words: We Europeans regard it as a triumph to conquer foreign races. I have never heard that it is an achievement to butcher ones compatriots. If only I could bring back Tseng and Tso to listen to this. If only I could bring back the Tsengs and Tsos who lived before Tseng and Tso to listen to this. If only I could raise up the Tsengs and Tsos to come, those with full responsibility for affairs, and the mass of underlings who are not worth bothering about, so that they could all listen to this together. Tseng, Tso and Li flattered themselves over their scholarly attainments, and they saw themselves as the equal of sages and philosophers. But they were still inhumane and unscrupulous; they butchered their fellowcountrymen and they were the loyal and submissive slaves of the Manchus. It is not worth while continuing with this. I cannot find a comparison for them. I might compare them with Li Tzu-cheng and Chang Hsien-chung, but I despise them for being even worse. Li and Chang may have slaughtered their fellowcountrymen and led to the Manchus entering China as masters, but they were illiterate and ill-educated, and they were driven to it by the corrupt government of the Ming. There was nothing else they could do. For these
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

206

Revolutionary Army Tract

reasons I can excuse them. Now Tseng, Tso and Li knew very well that they were members of the Han race, but to get hereditary rank for their families, they butchered their fellowcountrymen, and they begged the Manchus to rule again over China. I have tried over and over again to see their point of view, but I cannot find any excuses for them. . . . [I] am young, ignorant and brutish, not equal to speaking for the fundamental principles of revolutionary independence. Wary and fearful, I have carefully modelled (my proposals) on the principles of American revolutionary independence. I have summarized them under a number of headings, and with the utmost deference I offer to my most revered and beloved 400 million fellowcountrymen of the great Han people, to prepare them for the path they are to take: China is the China of the Chinese. Fellowcountrymen, you must all recognize the China of the Chinese of the Han race. Not to allow any alien race to lay their hands on the least rights of our China. Any obligations subordinating people to the Manchus are one and all annulled. First, to overthrow the barbaric government set up by the Manchus in Peking. To expel the Manchus settled in China or kill them in order to revenge ourselves. To kill the emperor set up by the Manchus as a warning to the myriad generations that despotic government is not to be revived. To oppose any intervention directed either by Chinese nationals or from foreign soil against Chinese revolutionary independence. To set up a central government, which will act as a general body to run affairs. In each area and province, a deputy to a general assembly is to be elected by vote in public elections. From these deputies, one is to be elected by vote to serve as provisional president to represent the whole country. A vice-president also is to be elected, and all chou and hsien are to elect a number of deputies. The whole population, whether male or female, are citizens. All men have the duty to serve as citizen soldiers. Everybody has the duty of bearing the burden of taxation. The whole country has the duty to show loyalty to the newly established state.
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

Everybody in the country, whether male or female, is equal. There is no distinction between upper and lower, base or noble. All inalienable rights are bestowed by nature. The freedom to live and all other privileges are natural rights. Freedoms, such as that of speech, thought, the press, etc. cannot be infringed on. All rights must be defended. The government which must be set up by public agreement, must employ all the powers granted it purely to defend popular rights. If, at any time, the actions of a government lead to an infraction of peoples rights, they have the right to carry out a revolution, and overthrow the old government to retrieve their peace and contentment. Once these have been obtained, the question of rights must be publicly discussed and a new government set up. This also is to be a right of the people. Once a government is set up, certain matters may arise which conflict with peoples wishes and consequently they may wish to carry out a revolution, and there are continual changes as in an uncertain situation in chess. This is not the way to run a new state. The country cannot be entirely free from evils, but if one values above all things peace and tranquillity, and does not allow these evils to do great harm to the people, then rather than overthrow the existing government and attempt to extend their rights, (the maintenance of) tranquillity would be the best policy. But if elements in the government were to act continuously in a corrupt and tyrannical manner, and place the whole country under a despotic system, the people will rise and overthrow the government and establish a new one with the aim of keeping their rights intact. Surely this is the greatest right of a people, and the duty on which they place the greatest importance. We Chinese have undergone such hardships that we have come to the end of our tether. Today we are to obtain our revolutionary independence, yet we are still suffering under a despotic system, hence we should not be on any account be willing to resign ourselves to it. These are the reasons which make inevitable a change in the old regime. To settle the name of the country as the Republic of China. The Republic of China is a free and independent country. A free and independent state has full rights and equality with other great states in the matter of war and peace, treaties and trade, and all other matters pertaining to an independent state.

King, Wunsz, comp. V. K. Wellington Koos Foreign Policy: Some Selected Documents, 8790. Shanghai: Kelly and Walsh, 1931. In this communication issued to China by the Japanese government in January 1915, Japan demanded extensive concessions such as wide-ranging economic rights in northeast China and Mongolia, the joint administration of the greatest iron, steel and coal enterprises in central China, new commercial rights in Fujian Province, and the right to station Japanese police and political advisers in North China. Yuan Shikai, Chinas president, felt that China was too weak to resist the demands. The furious anti-Japanese movement triggered by Yuans acquiescence contributed ultimately to his downfall.

New York: Columbia University Press, 2000. Sun Yat-sens Three Peoples Principles Nationalism, Peoples Democracy and Peoples Livelihoodhave long been claimed as guiding principles both by the Guomindang and by the Communist Party and had an important influence on political thought in twentieth-century China. Conceived around 1906 as part of the revolutionary ideology of the Tongmenghui (Revolutionary Alliance), the ideas were developed by Sun in a series of lectures in 1924. The notes taken from these lectures became the basis for subsequent understanding (and interpretations) of the Principles.

INTRODUCTION

[China as a Heap of Loose Sand.] For the most part the four hundred million people of China can be spoken of as completely Han Chinese. With common customs and habits, we are completely of one race. But in the world today what position do we occupy? Compared to the other peoples of the world we have the greatest population and our civilization is four thousand years old; we should therefore be advancing in the front rank with the nations of Europe and America. But the Chinese people have only family and clan solidarity; they do not have national spirit. Therefore, even though we have four hundred million people gathered together in one China, in reality they are just a heap of loose sand. Today we are the poorest and weakest nation in the world and occupy the lowest position in international affairs. Other men are the carving knife and serving dish; we are the fish and the meat. Our position at this time is most perilous. If we

209

The Three Peoples Principles

do not earnestly espouse nationalism and weld together our four hundred million people into a strong nation, there is danger of Chinas being lost and our people being destroyed. If we wish to avert this catastrophe, we must espouse nationalism and bring this national spirit to the salvation of the country. . . . [China as a Hypo-colony. ] Since the Chinese Revolution, the foreign powers have found that it was much less easy to use political force in carving up China. A people who had experienced Manchu oppression and learned to overthrow it would now, if the powers used political force to oppress it, be certain to resist, and thus make things difficult for them. For this reason they are letting up in their efforts to control China by political force and instead are using economic pressure to keep us down. . . . As regards political oppression, people are readily aware of their suffering, but when it comes to economic oppression, most often they are hardly conscious of it. China had already experienced several decades of economic oppression by the foreign powers, and so far the nation had for the most part shown no sense of irritation. As a consequence China is being transformed everywhere into a colony of the foreign powers. Our people keep thinking that China is only a semi-colonya term by which they seek to comfort themselves. Yet in reality the economic oppression we have endured is not just that of a semi-colony but greater even than that of a full colony. . . . Of what nation then is China a colony? It is the colony of every nation with which it has concluded treaties; each of them is Chinas master. Therefore China is not just the colony of one country; it is the colony of many countries. We are not just the slaves of one country, but the slaves of many countries. In the event of natural disasters like flood and drought, a nation that is sole master appropriates funds for relief and distributes them, thinking this its own duty; and the people who are its slaves regard this relief work as something to which their masters are obligated. But when North China suffered drought several years ago, the foreign powers did not regard it as their responsibility to appropriate funds and distribute relief; only those foreigners resident in China raised funds for the drought victims, whereupon Chinese observers remarked on the great generosity of the foreigners who bore no responsibility to help. . . . From this we can see that China is not so well off as Annam [under the French] and Korea [under the Japanese]. Being the slaves of one country represents a far higher status than being the slaves of many, and is far more advantageous. Therefore, to call China a semicolony is quite incorrect. If I may coin a phrase, we should be called a hypo-colony. This is a term that comes from chemistry, as in hypo-phosphite. Among chemicals there are some belonging to the class of

phosphorous compounds but of lower grade, which are called phosphites. Still another grade lower, and they are called hypo-phosphites. . . . The Chinese people, believing they were a semi-colony, thought it shame enough; they did not realize that they were lower even than Annam or Korea. Therefore we cannot call ourselves a semicolony but only a hypo-colony. . . . [Nationalism and Cosmopolitanism.] A new idea is emerging in England and Russia, proposed by the intellectuals, which opposes nationalism on the ground that it is narrow and illiberal. This is simply a doctrine of cosmopolitanism. England now and formerly Germany and Russia, together with the Chinese youth of today who preach the new civilization, support this doctrine and oppose nationalism. Often I hear young people say, The Three Principles of the People do not fit in with the present worlds new tendencies; the latest and best doctrine in the world is cosmopolitanism. But is cosmopolitanism really good or not? . . . Theoretically, we cannot say it is no good. Yet it is because formerly the Chinese intellectual class had cosmopolitan ideas that, when the Manchus crossed Chinas frontier, the whole country was lost to them. . . . [Nationalism and Traditional Morality.] If today we want to restore the standing of our people, we must first restore our national spirit. . . . If in the past our people have survived despite the fall of the state [to foreign conquerors], and not only survived themselves but been able to assimilate these foreign conquerors, it is because of the high level of our traditional morality. Therefore, if we go to the root of the matter, besides arousing a sense of national solidarity uniting all our people, we must recover and restore our characteristic, traditional morality. Only thus can we hope to attain again the distinctive position of our people. This characteristic morality the Chinese people today have still not forgotten. First comes loyalty and filial piety, then humanity and love, faithfulness and duty, harmony and peace. Of these traditional virtues, the Chinese people still speak, but now, under foreign oppression, we have been invaded by a new culture, the force of which is felt all across the nation. Men wholly intoxicated by this new culture have thus begun to attack the traditional morality, saying that with the adoption of the new culture, we no longer have need of the old morality. . . . They say that when we formerly spoke of loyalty, it was loyalty to princes, but now in our democracy there are no princes, so loyalty is unnecessary and can be dispensed with. This kind of reasoning is certainly mistaken. In our country princes can be dispensed with, but not loyalty. . . . If indeed we can no longer speak of loyalty to princes, can we not, however, speak of loyalty to our people?

The Guomindang or Three Peoples Principles Youth Corps was created in 1938 in the spirit of nationalist fervor generated by Japanese aggression. Chiang Kai-shek hoped that the Youth Corps would reinvigorate the Guomindang, which he felt was increasingly corrupt and ineffective. At the suggestion of Chiangs son, Jiang Jingguo, a Youth Corps leader, members were given equal status with Guomindang members. Chiangs ideology as reflected in this speech, mixed Sun Yat-seninspired nationalism in the political sphere with the Confucian revivalism of the New Life movement.

INTRODUCTION

An address to the youth of the whole nation on the occasion of the organization of the San Min Chu I Youth Corps, June 16, 1938. The constitution of the San Min Chu I (Three Principles of the People) Youth Corps has already been drawn up, and the process of organization has now begun. As leader of the Party and State to whom, at this time of grave difficulty and peril, solemn responsibilities have been entrusted, I consider the launching of this new movement to be one of the most significant events in our long struggle for national survival. At the beginning, therefore, of its organization I wish to state clearly the meaning and the mission of the Youth Corps and what I expect from the beloved youth of our nation. Youth are the vanguard of the Revolution; they are the new life of the nation. In every great social advance and in every important revolution youth have provided the driving power and have set the forces of change in motion. For example, in our own recent history, the chief participants in such movements as the Revolution of 1911 (which brought about the downfall of the Manchu dynasty) and the overthrow of the warlords in 1926 1927 were the nations youth. The glorious history of their struggle and self-sacrifice will be a fragrant memory so long as there is a Republic of China. Today, when a ruthless enemy is invading and ravaging our country, when we have already resisted for a whole year and a new and momentous epoch is dawning in our history, we must look even more to the youth of the nation to unite and press forward as one body if we are to complete the stupendous task of Resistance and Reconstruction. I am firmly convinced that China, with her long history, her vast territory, and her great population, will
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

most certainly win the victory and complete the task of reconstruction if she can concentrate her resources and continue the struggle without flinching. Resistance and Reconstruction is a necessary stage in the Revolution, and the Revolution will most certainly in the end be brought to a successful consummation. But how soon the consummation will take place depends entirely on the scale of our efforts, and on the spirit of those who carry on the fight. As for me, I have given myself completely to the Party and the State, and long ago put all thoughts of personal success or failure out of my mind. I have always regarded the National Revolution as our permanent task, a task of stupendous importance and difficulty. Our youth, full of revolutionary spirit, who are now carrying on the tasks of the Revolution are precious as jewels to me. They are my very life. The countless number of revolutionary youths in our nation must join together to form one mighty body, and as one falls another must step up fearlessly and unwaveringly to take his place. Then we shall be able to carry our principles into effect; then we shall be able to protect the State, to revive the nation, and to reach the ultimate goal of our Revolution. Because of my intense hopes for the youth of China, I feel very keenly my responsibility for their future success or failure. The fate of China lies in their hands. The responsibility for organizing and training them to become worthy citizens of China, able to undertake the tasks of Resistance and Reconstruction, is mine; I cannot evade it. The Youth Corps has now been organized to fulfill this responsibility and to meet the urgent needs of our nation and society at the present time. First, I want to state briefly the main reasons for the organization of the Youth Corps: 1. To complete the task of Resistance and Reconstruction. If we want to win the war and complete our reconstruction, we must develop the vast resources of the nation as a foundation on which to build. By developing the vast resources of the nation I mean awakening and uniting the youth of the whole nation. In the past the number of Chinas youth who fought and struggled sacrificially for the Revolution was by no means small. But now, because of disorganized education, the lack of habits of discipline, and the absence of training in group living, many youths, although patriotic in spirit, have not known how to express their patriotism in action. So a radical change is necessary. By strict teaching and discipline we must correct the bad habits of the past. We must give the young men and women of the nation training through the Youth Corps that will make them into modern citizens. We must eliminate the old ways of thinking and behavior, and in their place

211

The Responsibilities of Chinas Youth

cultivate the new independent spirit of a modern state, and a strong, self-reliant type of life. Within the Youth Corps there will naturally be different officers, some of higher rank than others, but it is essential that discipline be the same for everyone. Only thus will it be possible to bring about a real change in the daily living habits of our youth, and to direct their thoughts and actions toward a single goal. With a new national and racial consciousness they will be able to give vital expression to their patriotism and loyalty. Their work and influence will be powerfully effective, and they will lay strong foundations for our reviving national life. 2. To secure a concentration of fresh strength for the National Revolution. The strength of the Revolution has always lain in its emphasis upon unity. The forces latent in our youth, who have always been a dynamic source of revolutionary action, must now be united into one solid mass. The Youth Corps must give the nations youth a single purpose and a thorough physical and mental training; it must develop their character through instruction in the Three Principles of the People, and guide their thoughts and actions, so that they may become the new blood continuing the Revolution. Now when the very existence of our nation is hanging by a thread, if we allow our youth to remain scattered and disorganized, each going his own way, they will have many conflicting purposes, their strength will be reduced and, when the crisis comes, they will all perish together. Chinas youth, therefore, in the difficult circumstances of this war and reconstruction period, must on no account follow the example of certain other nations and permit the existence and propagation of all sorts of different political beliefs and practices. We shall teach our youth fundamental political ideasone philosophy of the State, one set of principles, and one direction of our efforts. There is but one road for the young men and women of China who would spend and be spent for their country, and that is the road of devoted loyalty and complete unity. This applies not merely to youths themselves but also to all educated leaders of youth. No matter what their party or group affiliation, they must, if they have at heart the welfare of the nation, lovingly lead our young men and women to unite under the banner of the Youth Movement. Let them do all they can to train our youth, and through them bring the Revolution to completion. Our fresh revolutionary strength will then be powerfully and continuously focused upon a single objective, and the great force thus createdby the fusing of many purposes into onewill not only drive out the Japanese invader and save our country, but will

prove to all future generations the spiritual unity of our nation. 3. To give concrete expression to the Three Principles of the People. The Three Principles, first enunciated by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, are the basis of our Revolution and National Reconstruction. They form the common faith of the whole nation during this War of Resistance. The reason why they are highly regarded is because they are practicable and meet Chinas real needs. But those who believe in the Three Principles must not be satisfied with mere belief; they must also feel it their responsibility to put the Principles into practice. Dr. Sun Yat-sens philosophy was: Knowing is difficult, but doing is easy. Therefore, he first taught the people new principles, and then spurred them on to action. This was just what was needed to correct the bad tendency of our people to fear difficulties and seek ease. This Youth Corps must, by its own practice of the Three Principles, inspire all the nations youth. Through its organization and training it must arouse courage and determination to overcome all obstacles and to carry out the Three Principles unswervingly to the end. No matter how difficult or dangerous the circumstances under which they live, no matter how dark their future may be, they must not for one moment despair or give up what has been committed to their charge. The young men and women of the Corps who believe in and practice the Three Principles must become new life-cells of the nation; they must be pioneers in the building of the new China; and worthy examples to all the people. This must go on until we see among the youth of the nation, organized and trained in the ideology and system of the Three Principles, an outburst of tremendously vital energy. If our revolutionary youth all believed in and practiced the Three Principles, we could be absolutely confident of their realization. The purpose behind the creation of the Youth Corps has been stated. China today must complete her task of Resistance and Reconstruction; even more must she develop revolutionary strength to carry on the tasks that lie ahead. The great mission which the Youth Corps has undertaken on behalf of the State is twofold: the mobilization of the nations youth for Resistance and Reconstruction, and the union of all the best revolutionary elements to increase the power of our Revolution. If we can fulfill these two missions, then the Three Principles can certainly be realized, the insults of the foreign invader can be blotted out, and a new, free, and independent China can be brought into being. On the one hand, we should meet the urgent needs of wartime mobilization; on the other hand, we should train a staff of workers that will be able in the near future to direct our national and social reconstruction. If we are to carry out this great and hard task, we must expect all the
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

212

The Responsibilities of Chinas Youth

youth who join the Corps to be orderly, dignified, sincere, and single-minded, and to take upon themselves the following special responsibilities: Wartime Mobilization In accordance with the plans for total mobilization, our youth must take an active part according to their individual abilities in national defense, production, communications, propaganda, or educational work. They must be public spirited and obedient to law; they must carry out their duties with the utmost loyalty; they must be willing to undergo toil and hardship without seeking ease or rest. They must look upon struggle as their heaven sent lot and accept sacrifice a matter of course. If our youth all have this spirit, then our War of Resistance will unquestionably end in victory. Military Training While the war is on, all our youth should receive strict military training. Every member of the Youth Corps will then have the necessary skills to help in the defense of his country. This military training should include training in morale, devotion to country and loyalty to Party, physical training so as to make them strong and healthy, training for life that will enable them to undergo toil and hardship, and training in action that will teach them to do things quickly and accurately. When our youth have had this kind of education, they will get rid of the decadent idea and custom that a scholar must be weak in body; they will go on to influence society; and they will be able, because of the spirit inspired by this military discipline, to carry all our reconstruction forward to completion. Political Training All our youth should receive political training, so that they may have some basic knowledge of how to set up the government of a state based on the Three Principles of the People. They should know how the four powers of government (executive, legislative, judicial, and the power of impeachment) are to be exercised, how local autonomy works, and other important points. They should know the first steps in training for self-government, and understand the fundamental methods of controlling, organizing, and leading the masses. If our youths are to have in the realm of thought real faith in the Three Principles, and in the realm of action are to make wise use of the rights of citizens in a modern democratic state, such knowledge is essential. Upon it we can build the new China of, by, and for the people. Cultural Reconstruction The strength of a nation is dependent on the cultural standard of the mass of the people. Now the degree of
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

knowledge possessed by the bulk of our people is far inferior to that of the people of the Great Powers. Our educated youth must, therefore, take the initiative, and participate in the task of eliminating illiteracy, and of making popular education a reality. They should also help in wartime propaganda. We must, in as short a time as possible, improve the political knowledge of the ordinary people, and raise their cultural standard, so that our nation may be able to advance along the road to liberty and equality in the modern world. Hard Work and Service Our youth must grasp the significance of Dr. Suns final message that the purpose of life lies in service. Each week everyone should participate in at least ten hours of some form of productive social service. On the one hand, they will help to increase production and improve the nations financial position, and on the other, they will, through such service, win their way into the hearts of the people and appreciate fully their sufferings. By mixing with the people, and by their actual work and accomplishments, they will win the confidence of all their fellow-countrymen. Production Our young people must pay special attention to scientific training, and make their knowledge and actions scientific. In this way a new type of national charactersystematic and methodical, accurate and practicalwill be developed. It is even more necessary for youth to make every effort to secure technical training, and so acquire productive skills and the habit of hard work. Then a large number will be available for service in agriculture, commerce, communications, mining, electrical work, and all kinds of light and heavy industries. This will hasten the completion of our great program of national reconstruction. These are the responsibilities which the Youth Corps must energetically take up now and in the future. They may also be regarded as a covenant to which all the youth of our Revolution should subscribe. But if we want to accomplish this task, our youth must get rid of their old habits, and stir themselves to new action; they must show fresh vitality, and radically reform their mode of life. They must not merely limit their enjoyments and adopt a Spartan regime but they must also cultivate habits of orderliness, cleanliness, simplicity, frankness, quickness, and accuracy. They must eliminate such bad habits as disorderly behavior, uncleanliness, diffuse activity, extravagance, dilatoriness, and superficiality, and through their new life of hard work and real economy help to reform the customs of society. Then all the people of China, inspired by the discipline, obedience, and corporate spirit of our youth, will march together to become a modern nation.

How to Be a Good Communist

To sum up, the Youth Corps aims to bring together the best youths of the whole nation, whether soldiers, laborers, farmers, merchants, or students, and to give them systematic training. It aims also to unite these youths in one organization, and to subject them to the rules of the New Life Movement, so that as they come to understand the four great virtuespropriety, justice, integrity, and conscientiousnesswhich are the fundamentals of a modern state, they may combine their strength and wisdom, and with one heart and one mind shoulder responsibility, observe the rules of discipline, and lay the foundation of a new modern state based on the San Min Chu I. The Youth Corps was established not to solve the livelihood problems of individuals, but to solve our national problems through the offering by youth of their life, strength and freedom to the service of the State. It was set up, not to enable our youth to live lives of ease and pleasure, but in order that they might share their joys and sorrows, their difficulties and dangers, and accomplish together our task of Resistance and Reconstruction, thus making the Three Principles a living reality. Chinas humiliation and danger have now reached the extreme limit. Our vast territory with its rivers and its mountains, its valleys and its steppes, has everywhere been overrun by our enemy. Our nation, with its long history stretching back through five thousand years, today faces a crisis that will decide its survival or its destruction. The sacrifice of countless revolutionary heroes and of the soldiers who are dying today for their countrytheir red blood and bleached bonescries out to the youth of the nation to continue the struggle and complete their task. We must courageously face our past failure to lead and train our youth, and earnestly strive now to create a practical revolutionary organization for them all. To meet the immediate pressing needs of our State and people, we must make this an organization that will include the flower of our youth, the keenest and best young revolutionists in the nation. I am confident that our great host of young men and women, filled with the spirit of the Revolution and recognizing clearly their responsibility for the future of the nation, will rouse themselves to vigorous action. Let our youth unite in the Youth Corps, obey its discipline and commands, receive its training and guidance. Thus they will enhance the value of the Youth Corps to the State and enable it to complete its great and sacred mission. I, who have been entrusted with heavy responsibilities by the Party and the State, say again to my young friends throughout the nation that they must unite. They must be willing to live and suffer and, if need be, die together. This is the only way to attain our goal of a new and glorious China. Descendants of Hwang Ti, Youth of China, arise!

New York: Columbia University Press, 2000. Liu Shaoqi, a veteran Communist who joined the party in 1921, wrote How to Be a Good Communist as a series of lectures delivered in Yanan in July 1939. The essay was widely read among Communist cadres in the 1940s and 1950s. A revised text was reprinted as material for political study in 1962 but was heavily criticized when Liu came under attack during the Cultural Revolution. He died in prison in 1969.

INTRODUCTION

Comrades! In order to become the most faithful and best pupils of Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Stalin, we need to carry on cultivation in all aspects in the masses of the people. We need to carry on cultivation in the theories of Marxism-Leninism and in applying such theories in practice; cultivation in revolutionary strategy and tactics; cultivation in studying and dealing with various problems according to the standpoint and methods of MarxismLeninism; cultivation in ideology and moral character; cultivation in party unity, inner-party struggle, and discipline; cultivation in hard work and in the style of work; cultivation in being skillful in dealing with different kinds of people and in associating with the masses of the people; and cultivation in various kinds of scientific knowledge, and so on. We are all Communist Party members, and so we have a general cultivation in common. But there exists a wide discrepancy today among our party members. Wide discrepancy exists among us in the level of political consciousness, in work, in position, in cultural level, in experience of struggle, and in social origin. Therefore, in addition to cultivation in general, we also need special cultivation for different groups and for individual comrades. Accordingly, there should be different kinds of methods and forms of cultivation. For example, many of our comrades keep a diary in order to have a daily check on their work and thoughts, or they write down on small posters their personal defects and what they hope to achieve and put them up where they work or live, together with the photographs of persons they look up to, and ask comrades for criticism and supervision. In ancient China, there were many methods of cultivation. There was Zengzi, who said,
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

214

How to Be a Good Communist

I reflect on myself three times a day. The Book of Odes has it that one should cultivate oneself as a lapidary cuts and files, carves and polishes. Another method was to examine oneself by self-reflection and to write down some mottoes on the right-hand side of ones desk or on ones girdle as daily reminders of rules of personal conduct. The Chinese scholars of the Confucian school had a number of methods for the cultivation of their body and mind. Every religion has various methods and forms of cultivation of its own. The investigation of things, the extension of knowledge, sincerity of thought, the rectification of the heart, the cultivation of the person, the regulation of the family, the ordering well of the state and the making tranquil of the whole kingdom as set forth in the Great Learning also means the same. All this shows that in achieving ones progress one must make serious and energetic efforts to carry on self-cultivation and study. However, many of these methods and forms cannot be adopted by us because most of them are idealistic, formalistic, abstract, and divorced from social practice. These scholars and religious believers exaggerate the function of subjective initiative, thinking that so long as they keep their general good intentions and are devoted to silent prayer they will be able to change the existing state of affairs, change society, and change themselves under conditions separated from social and revolutionary practice. This is, of course, absurd. We cannot cultivate ourselves in this way. We are materialists, and our cultivation cannot be separated from practice. What is important to us is that we must not under any circumstances isolate ourselves from the revolutionary struggles of different kinds of people and in different forms at a given moment and that we must, moreover, sum up historical revolutionary experience and learn humbly from this and put it into practice. That is to say, we must undertake self-cultivation and steel ourselves in the course of our own practice, basing ourselves on the experiences of past revolutionary practice, on the present concrete situation, and on new experiences. Our selfcultivation and steeling are for no other purpose than that of revolutionary practice. That is to say, we must modestly try to understand the standpoint, the method, and the spirit of Marxism-Leninism, and understand how Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Stalin dealt with people. And having understood these, we should immediately apply them to our own practice, i.e., in our own lives, words, deeds, and work. Moreover, we should stick to them and unreservedly correct and purge everything in our ideology that runs counter to them, thereby strengthening our own proletarian and Communist ideology and qualities. . . . At the same time, we must find out in what respects specific conclusions of Marxism-Leninism need to be supplemented, enriched, and developed on the basis of well-digested
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

new experiences. That is to say, we must combine the universal truth of Marxism-Leninism with the concrete practice of the revolution. . . . First of all, we must oppose and resolutely eliminate one of the biggest evils bequeathed to us by the education and learning in the old societythe separation of theory from practice. . . . Despite the fact that many people read over and over again books by ancient sages, they did things the sages would have been loath to do. Despite the fact that in everything they wrote or said they preached righteousness and morality, they acted like out-and-out robbers and harlots in everything they did. Some high-ranking officials issued orders for the reading of the Four Books and the Five Classics, yet in their everyday administrative work they ruthlessly extorted exorbitant requisitions, ran amuck with corruption and killing, and did everything against righteousness and morality. Some people read the Three Peoples Principles over and over again and could recite the Will of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, yet they oppressed the people, opposed the nations who treated us on an equal footing, and went so far as to compromise with or surrender to the national enemy. Once a scholar of the old school told me himself that the only maxim of Confucius that he could observe was To him food can never be too dainty; minced meat can never be too fine, adding that all the rest of the teachings of Confucius he could not observe and had never proposed to observe. Then why did they still want to carry on educational work and study the teachings of the sages? Apart from utilizing them for window-dressing purposes, their objects were (1) to make use of these teachings to oppress the exploited and make use of righteousness and morality for the purpose of hoodwinking and suppressing the culturally backward people; (2) to attempt thereby to secure better government jobs, make money and achieve fame, and reflect credit on their parents. Apart from these objects, their actions were not restricted by the sages teachings. This was the attitude of the men of letters and scholars of the old society to the sages they worshiped. Of course we Communist Party members cannot adopt such an attitude in studying Marxism-Leninism and the excellent and useful teachings bequeathed to us by our ancient sages. We must live up to what we say. We are honest and pure and we cannot deceive ourselves, the people, or our forefathers. This is an outstanding characteristic as well as a great merit of us Communist Party members. . . . What is the most fundamental and common duty of us Communist Party members? As everybody knows, it is to establish communism, to transform the present world into a Communist world. Is a Communist world good or not? We all know that it is very good. In such a world there will be no exploiters, oppressors, landlords, capitalists, imperialists, or fascists. There will be no oppressed and exploited people, no darkness, ignorance, backwardness, and so on. In

How to Be a Good Communist

such a society, all human beings will become unselfish and intelligent Communists with a high level of culture and technique. The spirit of mutual assistance and mutual love will prevail among mankind. There will be no such irrational things as mutual deception, mutual antagonism, mutual slaughter and war, and so on. Such a society will, of course, be the best, the most beautiful, and the most advanced society in the history of mankind. . . . Here the question arises: Can Communist society be brought about? Our answer is yes. About this, the whole theory of Marxism-Leninism offers a scientific explanation that leaves no room for doubt. . . . The victory of socialism in the USSR has also given us factual proof. Our duty is, therefore, to bring about at an early date this Communist society, the realization of which is inevitable in the history of mankind. . . . At all times and on all questions, a Communist Party member should take into account the interests of the party as a whole and place the partys interests above his personal problems and interests. It is the highest principle of our party members that the Partys interests are supreme. . . . If a party member has only the interests and aims of the Party and communism in his ideology, if he has no personal aims and considerations independent of the Partys interests, and if he is really unbiased and unselfish, then he will be capable of the following: 1. He will be capable of possessing very good Communist ethics. Because he has a firm outlook, he can both love and hate people. He can show loyalty to and ardent love for all his comrades, revolutionaries, and working people, help them unconditionally, treat them with equality, and never harm any one of them for the sake of his own interest. He can deal with them in a faithful and forgiving spirit and put himself in the position of others. He can consider others problems from their points of view and be considerate to them. He will never do to others anything he would not like others to do to him. He can deal with the most vicious enemies of mankind in a most resolute manner and conduct a persistent struggle against the enemy for the purpose of defending the interests of the party, the class, and the emancipation of mankind. As the Chinese saying goes, He will worry long before the rest of the world begins to worry, and he will rejoice only after the rest of the world has rejoiced. Both in the Party and among the people he will be the first to suffer hardship and the last to enjoy himself. He never minds whether his conditions are better or worse than others, but he does mind as to whether he has done more revolutionary work than others or whether he has fought harder. In times of adversity, he will stand out courageously and unflinchingly,

and in the face of difficulties he will demonstrate the greatest sense of responsibility. Therefore, he is capable of possessing the greatest firmness and moral courage to resist corruption by riches or honors, to resist tendencies to vacillate in spite of poverty and lowly status, and to refuse to yield in spite of threats or force. 2. He will also be capable of possessing the greatest courage. Since he is free from any selfishness whatever and has never done anything against his conscience, he can expose his mistakes and shortcomings and boldly correct them in the same way as the sun and the moon emerge bright and full following a brief eclipse. He is courageous because his is a just cause. He is never afraid of truth. He courageously upholds truth, expounds truth to others, and fights for truth. . . . 3. He will be best capable of acquiring the theory and method of Marxism-Leninism, viewing problems, and perceiving the real nature of the situation keenly and aptly. Because he has a firm and clear-cut class standpoint, he is free from personal worries and personal desires that may blur or distort his observation of things and understanding of truth. 4. He will also be capable of being the most sincere, most candid, and happiest of men. Since he has no selfish desires and since he has nothing to conceal from the Party, there is nothing that he is afraid of telling others, as the Chinese saying goes. Apart from the interests of the Party and of the revolution, he has no personal losses or gains or other things to worry about. . . . His work will be found in no way incompatible with the Partys interests no matter how many years later it is reviewed. He does not fear criticism from others, and he can courageously and sincerely criticize others. That is why he can be sincere, candid, and happy. 5. He will be capable of possessing the highest selfrespect and self-esteem. For the interests of the Party and of the revolution, he can also be the most lenient, most tolerant, and most ready to compromise, and he will even endure, if necessary, various forms of humiliation and injustice without feeling hurt or bearing grudges. . . . But if for the sake of certain important aims of the Party and of the revolution he is required to endure insults, shoulder heavy burdens, and do work that he is reluctant to do, he will take up the most difficult and important work without the slightest hesitation and will not pass the buck. A Communist Party member should possess all the greatest and noblest virtues of mankind. . . . Such ethics

are not built upon the backward basis of safeguarding the interests of individuals or a small number of exploiters. They are built, on the contrary, upon the progressive basis of the interest of the proletariat, of the ultimate emancipation of mankind as a whole, of saving the world from destruction and of building a happy and beautiful Communist world.

II The question of whom to serve having been solved, the question of how to serve comes up. To put it in the words of our comrades: Should we devote ourselves to elevation or to popularization? . . . Though mans social life constitutes the only source for art and literature, and is incomparably more vivid and richer than art and literature as such, the people are not satisfied with the former alone and demand the latter. Why? Because although both are beautiful, life as reflected in artistic works can and ought to be on a higher level and of a greater power and better focused, more typical, nearer the ideal, and therefore more universal than actual everyday life. Revolutionary art and literature should create all kinds of characters on the basis of actual life and help the masses to push history forward. For example, on the one hand there are people suffering from hunger, cold, and oppression, and on the other hand there are men exploiting and oppressing mena contrast that exists everywhere and seems quite commonplace to people; artists and writers, however, can create art and literature out of such daily occurrences by organizing them, bringing them to a focal point, and making the contradictions and struggles in them typicalcreate art and literature that can awaken and arouse the masses and impel them to unite and struggle to change their environment. If there were no such art and literature, this task could not be fulfilled or at least not effectively and speedily fulfilled. What are popularization and elevation in art and literature? What is the relation between the two? Works of popularization are simpler and plainer and therefore more readily accepted by the broad masses of the people of today. Works of a higher level are more polished and therefore more difficult to produce and less likely to win the ready acceptance of the broad masses of people of today. The problem facing the workers, peasants, and soldiers today is this: engaged in a ruthless and sanguinary struggle against the enemy, they remain illiterate and uncultured as a result of the prolonged rule of the feudal and bourgeois classes, and consequently they badly need a widespread campaign of enlightenment, and they eagerly wish to have culture, knowledge, art, and literature that meet their immediate need and are readily acceptable to them so as to heighten their passion for struggle and their confidence in victory, to strengthen their solidarity, and thus to enable them to fight the enemy with one heart and one mind. But popularization and elevation cannot be sharply separated. . . . The people need popularization, but along with it they need elevation too, elevation month by month and year by year. Popularization is popularization for the people, and elevation is elevation of the people. Such elevation does not take place in midair, nor behind closed

INTRODUCTION

Comrades! We have met three times during this month. In the pursuit of truth, heated debates have taken place and scores of Party and non-Party comrades have spoken, laying bare the issues and making them concrete. I think this is very profitable to the whole artistic and literary movement. In discussing any problem we should start from actual facts and not from definitions. We shall be following the wrong method if we first look up definitions of art and literature in the textbooks and then use them as criteria in determining the direction of the present artistic and literary movement or in judging the views and controversies that arise today. What, then, is the crux of our problems? I think our problems are basically those of working for the masses and of how to work for them. If these two problems are not solved, or [are] solved inadequately, our artists and writers will be ill-adapted to their circumstances and unfit for their tasks and will come up against a series of problems from within and without. My conclusion will center round these two problems, while touching upon some other problems related to them. I The first problem is: For whom are our art and literature intended? This problem has, as a matter of fact, been solved long ago by Marxists, and our art and literature should serve the millions upon millions of working people. . . .

doors, but on the basis of popularization. It is at once determined by popularization and gives direction to it. . . . Besides the elevation that directly meets the need of the masses, there is the elevation that meets their need indirectly, namely, the elevation needed by the cadres. Being advanced members of the masses, the cadres are generally better educated than the masses, and art and literature of a higher level are entirely necessary to them; and it would be a mistake to ignore this. Anything done for the cadres is also entirely done for the masses, because it is only through the cadres that we can give education and guidance to the masses. . . . III One of the principal methods of struggle in the artistic and literary sphere is art and literary criticism. . . . There are two criteria in art and literary criticism: political and artistic. According to the political criterion, all works are good that facilitate unity and resistance to Japan, that encourage the masses to be of one heart and one mind, and that oppose retrogression and promote progress; on the other hand, all works are bad that undermine unity and resistance to Japan, that sow dissension and discord among the masses, and that oppose progress and drag the people back. And how can we tell the good from the bad here by the motive (subjective intention) or by the effect (social practice)? Idealists stress motive and ignore effect, while mechanical materialists stress effect and ignore motive; in contradistinction from either, we dialectical materialists insist on the unity of motive and effect of winning their approval, and we must unite the two. . . . In examining the subjective intention of an artist, i.e., whether his motive is correct and good, we do not look at his declaration but at the effect his activities (mainly his works) produce on society and the masses. Social practice and its effect are the criteria for examining the subjective intention or the motive. . . . According to the artistic criterion, all works are good or comparatively good that are relatively high in artistic quality and bad or comparatively bad that are relatively low in artistic quality. Of course, this distinction also depends on social effect. As there is hardly an artist who does not consider his own work excellent, our criticism ought to permit the free competition of all varieties of artistic works, but it is entirely necessary for us to pass correct judgments on them according to the criteria of the science of art, so that we can gradually raise the art of a lower level to a higher level, and to change the art that does not meet the requirements of the struggle of the broad masses into art that does meet them. There is thus the political criterion as well as the artistic criterion. . . . But criterion second. The bourgeoisie always reject proletarian artistic and literary works, no matter how great their artistic achievement. As for the proletariat, they must treat the art and literature of the past

according to their attitude toward the people and whether they are progressive in the light of history. Some things that are basically reactionary from the political point of view may yet be artistically good. But the more artistic such a work may be, the greater harm will it do to the people, and the more reason for us to reject it. The contradiction between reactionary political content and artistic form is a common characteristic of the art and literature of all exploiting classes in their decline. What we demand is unity of politics and art, of content and form and of revolutionary political content and the highest possible degree of perfection in artistic form. Works of art, however politically progressive, are powerless if they lack artistic quality. Therefore we are equally opposed to works with wrong political approaches and to the tendency toward socalled poster and slogan style that is correct only in political approach but lacks artistic power. We must carry on a twofront struggle in art and literature.

William Theodore de Bary and Richard Lufrano, 344347. New York: Columbia University Press, 2000. This nationalistic anti-imperialist treatise by Chiang Kai-shek blamed all Chinas ills on the unequal treaties. Issued during the war (March 1943) when morale was low, its authoritarian tone and advocacy of the revival of ancient Confucian virtues did not meet with much welcome. It was, however, made required reading in schools and Guomindang circles.

INTRODUCTION

SOCIAL EFFECTS [OF THE UNEQUAL TREATIES]

During the last hundred years, under the oppression of unequal treaties, the life of the Chinese people became more and more degenerate. Everyone took self-interest as the standard of right and wrong, and personal desires as the criterion of good and evil; a thing was considered right if it conformed to ones self-interest or good if it conformed to ones personal desires. Rascals became influential in the villages, rogues were active in the cities, sacrificing public safety and the welfare of others to satisfy their own interest and desires. In the meantime, extravagant and irresponsible ideologies and political doctrines were freely advanced, either to rationalize self-interest and personal desires or to exploit them for ulterior motives. The rationalizers idolized them as an expression of the self, and the exploiters utilized

them as a means of fomenting disturbances in the community, in order to fish in troubled waters. The practice of following in the footsteps of the sages or emulating the heroes and being friends with the ancients not only tended to disappear but was even considered mean and despicable. . . .
MORAL EFFECTS

For five thousand years China had always stressed the importance of honest work and frugality. Her people were noted for their simplicity in food and clothing; women occupied themselves with their looms and men with their plows. These good habits, however, were swept away by the prevalence in the [foreign] concessions of the vices of opium smoking, gambling, prostitution, and robbery. Chinas ancient ethical teachings and philosophies contained detailed and carefully worked out principles and rules for the regulation and maintenance of the social life of man. The structure of our society underwent many changes, but our social life never deviated from the principles governing the relationship between parent and child, husband and wife, brother and brother, friend and friend, superior and inferior, man and woman, old and young, as well as principles enjoining mutual help among neighbors and care of the sick and weak. During the past hundred years, wherever the influence of the foreign concessions was felt, these principles were not only neglected but also despised. Between parent and child, husband and wife, brothers and friends, superiors and inferiors, old and young, and among neighbors the old sentiments of respect and affection and the spirit of mutual help and cooperation were disappearing. Only material interests were taken into consideration, and everywhere there was a general lack of moral standards by which to judge oneself. Whenever duty called, people tried to shirk it; whenever there was material profit to be gained, they struggled for it. . . . A country that had hitherto attached the greatest importance to decorum and rightness was now in danger of losing its sense of integrity and honor. What harm these unequal treaties had caused! The deterioration of national morality also tended to affect the physique of our people. The physical strength of the numberless unemployed in the cities as easily impaired. The health of those merchants who abandoned themselves to a life of extravagance and dissoluteness could not but break down. The most serious thing, however, was the effect upon the health of the youth in the schools. Physical training was not popularized in most of the schools; moral education was also neglected by school masters and teachers. In the meantime, the extravagant and dissolute life
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

outside the school attracted the students caused them to indulge in evil habits, and resulted in the deterioration of their moral character. Infectious and venereal diseases, too, which were rampant in the cities, further undermined their physical constitution. How could these young men, who were unsound in body and mind, help to advance learning reform social customs, render service to the state, and promote enterprise after their graduation? The inevitable result of such a state of affairs was the steady disintegration of our country and the further demoralization of the Chinese nation. . . .
PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS

After the Student Movement of May 4, 1919, two currents of thought, ultra individualistic liberalism and class-struggle communism, found their way into Chinese academic circles and later became widespread in the country. On the whole, Chinese academic circles desired to effect a change in our culture, forgetting that it had certain elements that are immutable. With respect to different Western theories they imitated only their superficial aspects and never sought to understand their true significance in order to improve Chinas national life. The result was that a large number of our scholars and students adopted the superficialities and nonessentials of Western culture and lost the respect for and confidence in our own culture. . . .
THE DECISIVE FACTOR IN CHINAS DESTINY

The work of reforming social life and carrying out the program of national reconstruction is one of paramount importance in the process of national survivala task that requires persistent effort. Individuals, striving singly, will not achieve great results nor lasting accomplishments. Consequently, all adult citizens and promising youths, whether in a town, a district, a province, or in the country at large, should have a common organization, with a systematic plan for binding the members together and headquarters to promote joint record reconstruction activities and also personal accomplishments. . . . In the past our adult citizens have been unable to unite on a large scale or for a long period. They have been derisively compared to a heap of loose sand or spoken of as having only five minutes enthusiasm. Now, incapacity to unite is a result of selfishness, and the best antidote for selfishness is public spirit. That unity does not last is due to hypocrisy and the best antidote for hypocrisy is sincerity. With a public spirit, one can take all men as ones kin and all things as ones company. With sincerity, one can persevere and success in the end. . . . The principal fault of our youth today and the cause of their failure and ineffectual living lie essentially in the unsound education they have received.

Since they do not follow the guidance of their teachers or realize the importance of organization as a factor in the success or failure of their life, and since they do not understand what freedom and discipline mean, they are irresponsible in their conduct and unrealistic in their thinking. As soon as they enter society, they feel the lack of ability and confidence to take up any practical work, let done the task of social and national reconstruction. . . . To avoid the mistake of living a misguided and regrettable life, they should never again allow themselves to be led astray by blind and impulsive following of others in the past. We must realize that the Three Principles represent not only the crystallization of Chinas time-honored civilization and of her peoples highest virtues but also the inevitable trend of world affairs in this modern age. The San Min Zhu Yi Youth Corps is the central organization of all Chinese youths who are faithful adherents of the Three Principles. All young men and women must therefore place themselves under the guidance of the Corps in order to keep their aims true and to avoid doing harm to themselves and to the nation. It is only by working within the framework of the Corps program that they can make decisions about their life work in the right direction. . . . It will be their mission to save the country from decline and disorganization, to wipe out national humiliation, to restore national strength, and to show loyalty to the state and filial devotion to the nation. They should emulate the sages and heroes of history and be the lifeblood of the people and the backbone of the nation. To sum up, the Nationalist Party and the San Min Zhu Yi Youth Corps are organic parts of the nation. . . . Considering the state as an organism as far as its life is concerned, we may say that the Three Principles constitute the soul of our nation, because without these principles our national reconstruction should be deprived of its guiding spirit. . . . Without the Nationalist Party, China should be deprived of its pivot. If all the revolutionary elements and promising youths in the country really want to throw in their lot with the fate of the country, if they regard national undertakings as their own undertakings and the national life as their own lifethen they should all enlist in the party or the Youth Corps. By so doing, they can discharge the highest duties of citizenship and attain the highest ideal in life. Then and only then can our great mission of national reconstruction be completed.

The following general statement was issued:
The several military missions have agreed upon future military operations against Japan. The Three Great Allies expressed their resolve to bring unrelenting pressure against their brutal enemies by sea, land and air. This pressure is already rising. The Three Great Allies are fighting this war to restrain and punish the aggression of Japan. They covet no gain for themselves and have no thought of territorial expansion. It is their purpose that Japan shall be stripped of all the islands in the Pacific which she has seized or occupied since the beginning of the First World War in 1914, and that all the territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese, such as Manchuria, Formosa, and the Pescadores, shall be restored to the Republic of China. Japan will also be expelled from all other territories which she has taken by violence and greed. The aforesaid Three Great Powers, mindful of the enslavement of the people of Korea, are determined that in due course Korea shall become free and independent. With these objects in view the Three Allies, in harmony with those of the United Nations at war with Japan, will continue to persevere in the serious and prolonged operation necessary to procure the unconditional surrender of Japan.

INTRODUCTION

Mao Zedong delivered this opening address at the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference in Peking (Beijing) in September 1949, just before he proclaimed the establishment of the Peoples Republic of China from the rostrum in Tiananmen Square on October 1.

Fellow Delegates, The Political Consultative Conference so eagerly awaited by the whole nation is herewith inaugurated. Our conference is composed of more than six hundred delegates, representing all the democratic parties and peoples organizations of China, the Peoples Liberation Army, the various regions and nationalities of the country and the overseas Chinese. This shows that ours is a conference embodying the great unity of the people of the whole country. It is because we have defeated the reactionary Kuomintang government backed by U.S. imperialism that this great unity of the whole people has been achieved. In a little more than three years the heroic Chinese Peoples Liberation Army, an army such as the world has seldom seen, crushed all the offensives launched by the several million troops of the U.S.-supported reactionary Kuomintang government and turned to the counteroffensive and the offensive. At present the field armies of the Peoples Liberation Army, several million strong, have pushed the war to areas near Taiwan, Kwangtung, Kwangsi, Kweichow, Szechuan and Sinkiang, and the great majority of the Chinese people have won liberation. In a little more than three years the people of the whole country have closed their ranks, rallied to support the Peoples Liberation Army, fought the enemy and won basic victory. And it is on this foundation that the present Peoples Political Consultative Conference is convened. Our conference is called the Political Consultative Conference because some three years ago we held a Political Consultative Conference with Chiang Kaisheks Kuomintang. The results of that conference were sabotaged by Chiang Kai-sheks Kuomintang and its accomplices; nevertheless the conference left an indelible impression on the people. It showed that nothing in the interest of the people could be accomplished together with Chiang Kai-sheks Kuomintang, the running dog of imperialism, and its accomplices. Even when resolutions were reluctantly adopted, it was of no avail, for as soon as the time was ripe, they tore them up and started a ruthless war

against the people. The only gain from that conference was the profound lesson it taught the people that there is absolutely no room for compromise with Chiang Kai-sheks Kuomintang, the running dog of imperialism, and its accomplicesoverthrow these enemies or be oppressed and slaughtered by them, either one or the other, there is no other choice. In a little more than three years the Chinese people, led by the Chinese Communist Party, have quickly awakened and organized themselves into a nation-wide united front against imperialism, feudalism, bureaucratcapitalism and their general representative, the reactionary Kuomintang government, supported the Peoples War of Liberation, basically defeated the reactionary Kuomintang government, overthrown the rule of imperialism in China and restored the Political Consultative Conference. The present Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference is convened on an entirely new foundation; it is representative of the people of the whole country and enjoys their trust and support. Therefore, the conference proclaims that it will exercise the functions and powers of a National Peoples Congress. In accordance with its agenda, the conference will enact the Organic Law of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference, the Organic Law of the Central Peoples Government of the Peoples Republic of China and the Common Programme of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference; it will elect the National Committee of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference and the Central Peoples Government Council of the Peoples Republic of China; it will adopt the national flag and national emblem of the Peoples Republic of China; and it will decide on the seat of the capital of the Peoples Republic of China and adopt the chronological system in use in most countries of the world. Fellow Delegates, we are all convinced that our work will go down in the history of mankind, demonstrating that the Chinese people, comprising one quarter of humanity, have now stood up. The Chinese have always been a great, courageous and industrious nation; it is only in modern times that they have fallen behind. And that was due entirely to oppression and exploitation by foreign imperialism and domestic reactionary governments. For over a century our forefathers never stopped waging unyielding struggles against domestic and foreign oppressors, including the Revolution of 1911 led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, our great forerunner in the Chinese revolution. Our forefathers enjoined us to carry out their unfulfilled will. And we have acted accordingly. We have closed our ranks and defeated both domestic and foreign oppressors through the Peoples War of Liberation and the great peoples revolution, and now we are proclaiming the founding of the Peoples Republic of China. From now on our nation will belong to the community of the peaceloving and freedom-loving nations of the world and work
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

224

San Francisco Peace Treaty, 1951

courageously and industriously to foster its own civilization and well-being and at the same time to promote world peace and freedom. Ours will no longer be a nation subject to insult and humiliation. We have stood up. Our revolution has won the sympathy and acclaim of the people of all countries. We have friends all over the world. Our revolutionary work is not completed, the Peoples War of Liberation and the peoples revolutionary movement are still forging ahead and we must keep up our efforts. The imperialists and the domestic reactionaries will certainly not take their defeat lying down; they will fight to the last ditch. After there is peace and order throughout the country, they are sure to engage in sabotage and create disturbances by one means or another and every day and every minute they will try to stage a comeback. This is inevitable and beyond all doubt, and under no circumstances must we relax our vigilance. Our state system, the peoples democratic dictatorship, is a powerful weapon for safeguarding the fruits of victory of the peoples revolution and for thwarting the plots of domestic and foreign enemies for restoration, and this weapon we must firmly grasp. Internationally, we must unite with all peace-loving and freedom-loving countries and peoples, and first of all with the Soviet Union and the New Democracies, so that we shall not stand alone in our struggle to safeguard these fruits of victory and to thwart the plots of domestic and foreign enemies for restoration. As long as we persist in the peoples democratic dictatorship and unite with our foreign friends, we shall always be victorious. The peoples democratic dictatorship and solidarity with our foreign friends will enable us to accomplish our work of construction rapidly. We are already confronted with the task of nation-wide economic construction. We have very favourable conditions: a population of 475 million people and a territory of 9,600,000 square kilometres. There are indeed difficulties ahead, and a great many too. But we firmly believe that by heroic struggle the people of the country will surmount them all. The Chinese people have rich experience in overcoming difficulties. If our forefathers, and we also, could weather long years of extreme difficulty and defeat powerful domestic and foreign reactionaries, why cant we now, after victory, build a prosperous and flourishing country? As long as we keep to our style of plain living and hard struggle, as long as we stand united and as long as we persist in the peoples democratic dictatorship and unite with our foreign friends, we shall be able to win speedy victory on the economic front. An upsurge in economic construction is bound to be followed by an upsurge of construction in the cultural sphere. The era in which the Chinese people were regarded
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

as uncivilized is now ended. We shall emerge in the world as a nation with an advanced culture. Our national defence will be consolidated and no imperialists will ever again be allowed to invade our land. Our peoples armed forces must be maintained and developed with the heroic and steeled Peoples Liberation Army as the foundation. We will have not only a powerful army but also a powerful air force and a powerful navy. Let the domestic and foreign reactionaries tremble before us! Let them say we are no good at this and no good at that. By our own indomitable efforts we the Chinese people will unswervingly reach our goal. The heroes of the people who laid down their lives in the Peoples War of Liberation and the peoples revolution shall live for ever in our memory! Hail the victory of the Peoples War of Liberation and the peoples revolution! Hail the founding of the Peoples Republic of China! Hail the triumph of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference!

SAN FRANCISCO PEACE TREATY, 1951


INTRODUCTION

The treaty excerpted below was signed by the Allied powers and Japan in order to settle questions still outstanding from World War II. Japan recognized the sovereignty of Asian nations that it had previously occupied and renounced various territorial claims and rights it had previously demanded in China. Because there was no international agreement as to which government should represent China, neither the Republic of China nor the Peoples Republic of China was invited to the San Francisco Peace Conference, and neither was a party to the San Francisco treaty.

ARTICLE 10

Japan renounces all special rights and interests in China, including all benefits and privileges resulting from the provisions of the final Protocol signed at Peking on 7 September 1901, and all annexes, notes and documents supplementary thereto, and agrees to the abrogation in respect to Japan of the said protocol, annexes, notes and documents. . . .
ARTICLE 14

(a) It is recognized that Japan should pay reparations to the Allied Powers for the damage and suffering caused by it during the war. Nevertheless it is also recognized that

225

the resources of Japan are not presently sufficient, if it is to maintain a viable economy, to make complete reparation for all such damage and suffering and at the same time meet its other obligations. Therefore, 1. Japan will promptly enter into negotiations with Allied Powers so desiring, whose present territories were occupied by Japanese forces and damaged by Japan, with a view to assisting to compensate those countries for the cost of repairing the damage done, by making available the services of the Japanese people in production, salvaging and other work for the Allied Powers in question.

I. Subject to the provisions of subparagraph II below, each of the Allied Powers shall have the right to seize, retain, liquidate or otherwise dispose of all property, rights and interests of a. Japan and Japanese nationals, b. persons acting for or on behalf of Japan or Japanese nationals, and c. entities owned or controlled by Japan or Japanese nationals, which on the first coming into force of the present Treaty were subject to its jurisdiction. The property, rights and interests specified in this subparagraph shall include those now blocked, vested or in the possession or under the control of enemy property authorities of Allied Powers, which belong to, or were held or managed on behalf of, any of the persons or entities mentioned in (a), (b) or (c) above at the time such assets came under the controls of such authorities. II. The following shall be excepted from the right specified in subparagraph (I) above: i. property of Japanese natural persons who during the war resided with the permission of the Government concerned in the territory of one of the Allied Powers, other than territory occupied by Japan, except property subjected to restrictions during the war and not released from such restrictions as of the date of the first coming into force of the present Treaty; ii. all real property, furniture and fixtures owned by the Government of Japan and used for diplomatic or consular purposes, and all personal furniture and furnishings and other private property not of an investment nature which was normally necessary for the carrying out of diplomatic and consular

functions, owned by Japanese diplomatic and consular personnel; iii. property belonging to religious bodies or private charitable institutions and used exclusively for religious or charitable purposes; iv. property, rights and interests which have come within its jurisdiction in consequence of the resumption of trade and financial relations subsequent to 2 September 1945, between the country concerned and Japan, except such as have resulted from transactions contrary to the laws of the Allied Power concerned; v. obligations of Japan or Japanese nationals, any right, title or interest in tangible property located in Japan, interests in enterprises organized under the laws of Japan, or any paper evidence thereof; provided that this exception shall only apply to obligations of Japan and its nationals expressed in Japanese currency. III. Property referred to in exceptions (i) through (v) above shall be returned subject to reasonable expenses for its preservation and administration. If any such property has been liquidated the proceeds shall be returned instead. IV. The right to seize, retain, liquidate or otherwise dispose of property as provided in subparagraph (I) above shall be exercised in accordance with the laws of the Allied Power concerned, and the owner shall have only such rights as may be given him by those laws. V. The Allied Powers agree to deal with Japanese trademarks and literary and artistic property rights on a basis as favorable to Japan as circumstances ruling in each country will permit. (b) Except as otherwise provided in the present Treaty, the Allied Powers waive all reparations claims of the Allied Powers, other claims of the Allied Powers and their nationals arising out of any actions taken by Japan and its nationals in the course of the prosecution of the war, and claims of the Allied Powers for direct military costs of occupation.

TREATY OF TAIPEI
INTRODUCTION

The 1951 Treaty of San Francisco between the Allied powers and Japan settled many territorial and political problems left from World War II. Under the Treaty, Japan agreed to give up various rights and interests in China. However, as there was no agreement as to which government should represent China, neither the Republic of China nor the Peoples Republic of China was invited to sign. The Treaty of Taipei was concluded separately between the Republic of China and Japan in 1952 covering many of the same issues.

INTRODUCTION

The speech by Mao Zedong that is excerpted below launched the Hundred Flowers (1957), a new

Never has our country been as united as it is today. The victories of the bourgeois-democratic revolution and the socialist revolution, coupled with our achievements in socialist construction, have rapidly changed the face of old China. Now we see before us an even brighter future. . . . Unification of the country, unity of the people, and unity among our various nationalitiesthese are the basic guarantees for the sure triumph of our cause. However, this does not mean that there are no longer any contradictions in our society. . . . We are confronted by two types of social contradictionscontradictions between ourselves and the enemy and contradictions among the people. These two types of contradictions are totally different in nature. . . . The contradictions between ourselves and our enemies are antagonistic ones. Within the ranks of the people, contradictions among the working people are nonantagonistic, while those between the exploiters and the exploited classes have, apart from their antagonistic aspect, a nonantagonistic aspect. Contradictions among the people have always existed, but their content differs in each period of the revolution and during the building of socialism. In the conditions existing in China today, what we call contradictions among the people include the following: Contradictions within the working class, contradictions within the peasantry, contradictions within the intelligentsia, contradictions between the working class and the peasantry, contradictions between the working class and peasantry on the one hand and the intelligentsia on the other, contradictions between and the national bourgeoisie on the other, contradictions within the national bourgeoisie, and so forth. Our Peoples Government is a government that truly represents the interests of the people and serves the people, yet certain contradictions do exist between the government and the masses. These include contradictions between the interests of the state, collective interests, and individual interests; between democracy and centralism; between those in positions of leadership and the led; and contradictions arising from the bureaucratic practices of certain state functionaries in their relations with the masses. All these are contradictions among the people; generally speaking, underlying the contradictions among the people is the basic identity of the interests of the people.
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

228

On the Correct Handling of Contradictions among the People

In our country, the contradiction between the working class and the national bourgeoisie is a contradiction among the people. . . . The contradiction between exploiter and exploited that exists between the national bourgeoisie and the working class is an antagonistic one. But, in the concrete conditions existing in China, such an antagonistic contradiction, if properly handled, can be transformed into a nonantagonistic one and resolved in a peaceful way. But if it is not properly handledif, say, we do not follow a policy of unity, criticizing and educating the national bourgeoisie, or if the national bourgeoisie does not accept this policythen the contradictions between the working class and the national bourgeoisie can turn into an antagonistic contradiction between ourselves and the enemy. . . . There were other people in our country who took a wavering attitude toward the Hungarian events because they were ignorant about the actual world situation. They felt that there was too little freedom under our peoples democracy and that there was more freedom under Western parliamentary democracy. They ask for the adoption of the two-party system of the West, where one party is in office and the other out of office. But this so-called two-party system is nothing but a means of maintaining the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie; under no circumstances can it safeguard the freedom of the working people. Those who demand freedom and democracy in the abstract regard democracy as an end and not a means. Democracy sometimes seems to be an end, but it is in fact only a means. Marxism teaches us that democracy is part of the superstructure and belongs to the category of politics. That is to say, in the last analysis it serves the economic base. The same is true of freedom. Both democracy and freedom are relative, not absolute, and they come into being and develop under specific historical circumstances. Within the ranks of the people, democracy stands in relation to centralism, and freedom to discipline. They are two conflicting aspects of a single entity, contradictory as well as united, and we should not one-sidedly emphasize one to the denial of the other. Within the ranks of the people, we cannot do without democracy, nor can we do without centralism. Our democratic centralism means the unity of democracy and centralism and the unity of freedom and discipline but at the same time they have to keep themselves within the bounds of socialist discipline. All this is well understood by the people. . . . Marxist philosophy holds that the law of the unity of opposites is a fundamental law of the universe. This law operates everywherein the natural world, in human society, and in human thinking. Opposites in contradiction unite as well as struggle with each other, and thus
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

impel all things to move and change. Contradictions exist everywhere, but as things differ in nature so do contradictions in any given phenomenon or thing; the unity of opposites is conditional, temporary and transitory, and hence relative, whereas struggle between opposites is absolute. Lenin gave a very clear exposition of this law. In our country, a growing number of people have come to understand it. For many people, however, acceptance of this law is one thing and its application, examining and dealing with problems, is quite another. . . . Many people refuse to admit that contradictions still exist in a socialist society, with the result that when confronted with social contradictions they become timid and helpless. They do not understand that socialist society grows more united and consolidated precisely through the ceaseless process of correctly dealing with and resolving contradictions. . . .
ON LETTING A HUNDRED FLOWERS BLOSSOM AND LETTING A HUNDRED SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT CONTEND

The policy of letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend is designed to promote the flourishing of the arts and the progress of science; it is designed to enable a socialist culture to thrive in our land. Different forms and styles in art can develop freely, and different schools in science can contend freely. We think that it is harmful to the growth of art and science if administrative measures are used to impose one particular style of art or school of thought and to ban another. . . . In the past, new and correct things often failed at the outset to win recognition from the majority of people and had to develop by twists and turns in struggle. Correct and good things have often at first been looked upon not as fragrant flowers but as poisonous weeds; Copernicuss theory of the solar system and Darwins theory of evolution were once dismissed as erroneous and had to win out over bitter opposition. Chinese history offers many similar examples. . . . Marxism has also developed through struggle. . . . It is true that in China socialist transformation, insofar as a change in the system of ownership is concerned, has in the main been completed, and the turbulent, large-scale, mass class struggles characteristic of the revolutionary periods have in the main concluded. But remnants of the overthrown landlord and comprador classes still exist, the bourgeoisie still exists, and the petty [sic] bourgeoisie has only just begun to remold itself. Class struggle is not yet over. . . . In this respect, the question are still a minority of the entire population as well as of the intellectuals. Marxism therefore must still develop through struggle. . . . As humankind in general rejects an untruth and accepts a truth, a new truth will begin struggling with new erroneous ideas. Such struggles will

229

A New Population Theory

never end. This is the law of the development of truth, and it is certainly also the law of development in Marxism. . . . People may ask: Since Marxism is accepted by the majority of the people in our country as the guiding ideology, can it be criticized? Certainly it can. As a scientific truth, Marxism fears no criticism. If it did and could be defeated in argument, it would be worthless. In fact, are not the idealists criticizing Marxism every day and in all sorts of ways?. . . Fighting against wrong ideas is like being vaccinateda man develops greater immunity from disease after the vaccine takes effect. Plants raised in hothouses are not likely to be robust. Carrying out the policy of letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend will not weaken but strengthen the leading position of Marxism in the ideological field. What should our policy be toward non-Marxist ideas? As far as unmistakable counterrevolutionaries and wreckers of the socialist cause are concerned, the matter is easy; we simply deprive them of their freedom of speech. But it is quite a different matter when we are faced with incorrect ideas among the people. Will it do to ban such ideas and give them no opportunity to express themselves? Certainly not. . . . That is why it is only by employing methods of discussion, criticism, and reasoning that we can really foster correct ideas, overcome wrong ideas, and really settle issues. . . . So what, from the point of view of the broad masses of the people, should be a criterion today for distinguishing between fragrant flowers and poisonous weeds?. . . Basing ourselves on the principles of our constitution, the will of the overwhelming majority of our people, and the political programs jointly proclaimed on various occasions by our political parties and groups, we believe that, broadly speaking, words and actions can be judged right if they: 1. Help to unite the people of our various nationalities and do not divide them 2. Are beneficial, not harmful, to socialist transformation and socialist construction 3. Help to consolidate, not undermine or weaken, the peoples democratic dictatorship 4. Help to consolidate, not undermine or weaken, democratic centralism 5. Tend to strengthen, not to cast off or weaken, the leadership of the Communist Party 6. Are beneficial, not harmful, to international socialist solidarity and the and the solidarity of the peaceloving people of the world.

Of these six criteria, the most important are the socialist path and the leadership of the Party. . . . When the majority of the people have clear-cut criteria to go by, criticism and self-criticism can be conducted along proper lines, and these criteria can be applied to peoples words and actions to determine whether they are fragrant flowers or poisonous weeds. These are political criteria. Naturally, in judging the truthfulness of scientific theories or assessing the aesthetic value of works of art, other pertinent criteria are needed, but these six political criteria are also applicable to all activities in the arts or sciences. In a socialist country like ours, can there possibly be any useful scientific or artistic activity that runs counter to these political criteria?

A NEW POPULATION THEORY

INTRODUCTION

Concern at the huge population reported by Chinas 1953 census sparked the beginning of family planning education in Chinas big cities and a debate on the implications of rapid population growth. In June 1957, Ma Yinchu, a well-known economist, presented his New Population Theoryadvocating state-sponsored population controlat the First National Peoples Congress. In 1958 the climate changed. The Great Leap Forward was based on a positive evaluation of Chinas huge population and Ma came under attack for propagating Malthusianism. Disgraced and dismissed from his post as president of Peking University in 1960, he was not rehabilitated until 1979, long after the Chinese government had accepted the necessity of birth planning. He died at the age of 100 in 1982. To our knowledge, we offer below the first full English translation of the document (translated by Alan Thwaits). Note that the term contradiction, in Chinese maodun, is a core term in Chinese Marxist discourse, which refers to a dialectical, dynamic relationship between opposing interests or opposing conditions (compare Mao Zedongs famous work On Contradiction).

As a result of the Partys and Chairman Maos wise and correct leadership, it is now possible to control the population. Article 29, item 3, of the revised draft of An Outline of the Development of Agriculture in China from 1956 to 1967 (1956 dao 1967 nian quanguo nongye fazhan gangyao) stipulates, Except in regions dominated by minorities, in all densely populated areas, the government will promote reduction in childbirth and advocate family planning so that families can avoid excessive burdens, their children can receive better education, and they

can have ample employment opportunities. I firmly believe that this measure will quickly turn the 500 million farmers around from their desire for more sons and grandsons. In rural China class contradictions [, maodun] perennially existed between landowners and farmers. These contradictions have been resolved as a result of liberation and land reform. After land reform, new contradictions appeared: whether individual farmers would align themselves with capitalism or with socialism. By 1956, after years of struggle and hard work, agriculture around the country had essentially been collectivized; farmers were basically won over and affirmatively aligned themselves with the path of socialism, and these contradictions were resolved. Are there other contradictions? Yes. In addition to the major contradictions among the people mentioned by Chairman Mao, I believe that there are also important contradictions between excess population and limited capital. Past contradictions were those between social classes; present contradictions are mainly contradictions in production.
1. CHINAS POPULATION IS GROWING TOO FAST

if we use the growth rate of 2.0 percent to explain the situation over the following four years (from 1953 to 1957), inaccuracies creep in. For the following seven reasons, I believe that the growth rate exceeds 2.0 percent: 1. The number of married individuals has increased. Prior to liberation, young people, when they graduated, became unemployed. Now after graduating, young people are allocated jobs. The economic situation has improved to the point where young people now have the means to establish families. Also, full employment lessens reliance on relatives and friends and lightens their financial burdens, and this too increases the number of married individuals. Moreover, the government provides for each married couple, seeking in principle to allocate them both jobs in the same cityincreasing the opportunities to bear children. 2. The government also provides benefits to pregnant women, new mothers, and infants. Women have fifty-six days of maternity leave before and after giving birth. This benefit did not exist prior to liberation. With the development of hygiene, rural midwives have now been replaced with proper delivery facilities, and consequently the infant mortality rate has declined. Daycare facilities have been set up everywhere and can take over from families some of the responsibilities of raising children, and children enjoy publicly funded education. 3. The death rate among the elderly has declined. In the past it was rare for a person to live to age seventy, whereas now living beyond seventy is common. The government provides for orphans, widows, and the elderly. After retirement, there are old-age pensions. Widowers, widows, and orphans are all cared for. 4. In the past the nation was plagued with civil wars almost annually. People suffered from military destruction, floods, and droughts. Many were displaced, and large numbers died. Now the nation enjoys stability unknown in the past: Civil war has disappeared, banditry has vanished, and homicide has diminished. As a result, fewer people die of unnatural causes. 5. With the changes in the social order, most nuns and monks have returned to secular life and have married, and in the future the number of monks and nuns will not increase. We have thoroughly solved the problem of prostitution, which is intractable in capitalist countries; as everyone knows, prostitutes, having too many men in their lives, cannot give birth.

The 1953 census was Chinas first population census. The census showed that on July 30, 1953, China had a population of 601,938,035, a static record of a moment in time. If we had population statistics for every year after 1953, then we would have a dynamic record of population growth as well. Unfortunately, such figures do not exist today. Going forward, we must create a system of vital statistics, recording the number of births, deaths, marriages, divorces, as well as in-migration and outmigration in each area. Only with such data will we have precise population figures. Current estimates indicate that the population grows by between 12 and 13 million per year, a rate of 2.0 percent. If we extrapolate, we may find that small inaccuracies produce large errors in comparison with the real population size thirty years from now. How has the growth rate of 2.0 percent been derived? In 1953 the government carried out a census in 29 large and medium-size cites, the whole of Ningxia Province, and 10 counties in each of the other provinces, as well as specific areas in 35 other counties, 2 towns, 58 townships, and 9 villages, which together had a population of 30.18 million, a birth rate of 3.7 percent, and a death rate of 1.7 percent. From these figures we can calculate a growth rate of 2.0 percent. Moreover, the growth rate was higher in the cities than in the countryside. The growth rate was 3.9 percent in a section of Shanghai, while it was an average of 2.0 percent per year over all urban and rural areas. But I doubt that the growth rate has remained at 2.0 percent over these past four years. The census figures were accurate in 1953, but

6. Even after agricultural collectivization improved peoples lives, the elderly still held onto their old ways of thinking. They desire abundant happiness and long life. Widely circulated are such old adages as prosperity with five living generations and a household full of sons and grandsons and of the three most unfilial manifestations, the failure to continue the family line is the gravest. As long as family finances permit it, parents set about arranging a marriage for a son, establishing a household for him, and setting him up in business. 7. The government not only gives prizes to families with twins, triplets, and so on, but also provides them with economic assistance. These factors all increase the birth rate or decrease the death rate. Therefore, I believe that the population growth rate over these past four years is most likely to have exceeded 2.0 percent.
2. CHINAS ACCUMULATION OF CAPITAL IS TOO SLOW

national income in 1956 was nearly RMB 90 billion, of which consumption accounted for 79 percent and accumulation 21 percent. Because the population is large, consumption is high, and accumulation is low. And because accumulation has to be allocated to many sectors of production, it seems even smaller. What I wish to investigate here is how to control the population so as to reduce the portion of consumption and simultaneously increase accumulation.
3. I ADVOCATED CONTROLLING THE POPULATION TWO YEARS AGO

The greatest contradiction in our nation is that the population is growing too fast and the accumulation of capital seems too slow. Premier Zhou Enlai, in Report on Suggestions for the Second Five-Year Plan for Development of the National Economy (Guanyu fazhan guomin jingji de dier ge wunian jihua de jianyi de baogao), said, The scale of national development depends mainly on how much capital can be accumulated and how the funds are distributed. If we accumulate much capital and distribute it appropriately, we can then achieve relatively rapid extended social reproduction, and each sector of the national economy can then develop proportionately. National income is the material wealth newly created by the laboring people of the country in the course of production. In a socialist country, the entire national income belongs to the laboring people. The laboring people use a portion of the national income to support and improve their livelihoods and use the other for extended social reproduction, that is, use it for accumulation. In distributing and redistributing the national income, it is necessary to maintain a proper balance between consumption and accumulations. If the proportion allocated to consumption is too small, this can impede the improvement of the peoples livelihoods. If the proportion allocated to accumulation is too small, this can slow the extended social reproduction. Both of these conditions are detrimental to the people. To improve the peoples livelihoods, it is necessary to expand both production and the means of production. To expand production and the means of production, it is necessary to increase accumulation. To increase accumulation, it is necessary to raise the national income. Chinas

I have made three inspection tours of Zhejiang. In former times [prior to liberation] Zhejiang was divided into eleven prefectures (fu), and I visited ten. This area has a strikingly high number of children, and this caught my attention. Whenever I visited a village, I would ask local administrative officials and old farmers how many births the village had, how many deaths, and what the net increase was after subtracting deaths from births. Though the increase in population of each area was different, my impression was that it was at least 2.2 percent, and when I visited Shanghai, I sensed that it was even higher. In 1955, after I finished the tour and returned to Beijing, I assembled the materials I gained on the inspection tour to prepare a speech on the population problem, the content being controlling the population and scientific research. I wanted to present this speech at the 1955 National Peoples Congress. Before presenting this speech, I discussed the issues with the Zhejiang delegation to the congress. Other than a few delegates, many delegates either expressed no opinion at all or disagreed with me. Some of them even thought that I was espousing Malthuss theories. Others thought that though I was saying something different from Malthus, I was still operating within a Malthusian framework. Though I could not accept their opinions, I thought that they all harbored good intentions. Hence, I put away my speech and decided to wait until the time was ripe to present it to the congress. In February of this year Chairman Mao, in a meeting of the Supreme State Conference, clearly brought up the population issue. I thought that his doing so was most timely and necessary. I thus got out the speech and presented it in summary form before the expanded Supreme State Conference. Here I present this essay in revised form and ask readers to make criticism.
4. THE ERRORS AND FAILURE OF MALTHUSS POPULATION THEORY

Malthuss population theory, as everyone knows, is reactionary. Malthus said that population increases exponentially, that is, according to the series 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, . . . , but that the food supply increases linearly, or like the series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, . . . After several generations, the population has
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

232

A New Population Theory

greatly increased, while there is not enough grain. This leads to disease, epidemics, and even wars. People die off in large numbers, and the population declines sharply. Only thus can the population achieve equilibrium with the grain supply. Hence, the world is often caught up in a vicious cycle, and the outlook for humankind is bleak. Malthuss Essay on the Principle of Population was published in 1798, just after the start of the Industrial Revolution. The socioeconomic system underwent fundamental transformations: Workers became unemployed in large numbers; poverty was widespread; on occasion there were riots. The people were greatly dissatisfied with the capitalist government. Malthus wrote his essay to defend capitalism and capitalist government theoretically and to cover up the mistaken policies of the British government. His population theory amounts to saying to workers that widespread poverty among workers was not the governments fault; rather, it was primarily because the population increases too rapidly and the grain supply increases too slowly. This is the starting point of his essay, and in this he was fundamentally mistaken. At the time, the French general Napoleon stirred up a great war in Europe, and many people died. As a result, the grain situation took a turn for the better, and many people thought that Malthuss essay was accurate. But if one applied Malthuss theory to the situation in Germany after the Napoleonic Wars, it did not fit reality. Because of progress, at that time, in German scientific research, which led grain supplies to increase exponentially, even faster than the growth in the population, Malthuss theory that the food supply increases linearly thus collapses. Malthus failed to anticipate that scientific research would develop by leaps and bounds and cause the grain supply to increase exponentially, even faster than the population. One needs to understand that natural factors like land and labor, though they are the most basic components of agricultural production, have a limited effect on the development of production, but that scientific development knows no bounds. The more science advances, the higher the level of culture enjoyed by the people. Increases in knowledge cause labor productivity to rise and fertility to lower. For example, the upper classes and white-collar workers [literally, brain workers or mental workers, as distinguished from physical laborers] had a variety of recreation available to themsuch as playing ball games, rowing, horseback riding, and huntingand this lowered their sexual appetites. In France, the reproduction rate of the upper classes was stable, and they regarded raising children as a burden. Again, as John Rae (17961872) pointed out, the soil in the Hawaiian Islands is very fertile, and food grows in abundance, but the population did not increase accordingly. The primary reason for this is that Hawaiians did not like lots of children and grandchildren. This case too strongly refutes Malthuss essay on population; his theory that the population increases exponentially also fails.
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

5. THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MY POPULATION THEORY AND MALTHUSS THEORY

Malthuss starting point was to cover up the mistaken policies of the British capitalist government. My starting point is to raise the productivity of farmers, to raise the level of the cultural and material life of farmers. Let me use conditions in China to explain the differences of my starting point. Chinas first mechanized grain-storage facility built with Soviet aid recently began storing grain. The facility has a 60meter-high operations tower. The grain arrives by train and is mechanically unloaded, conveyed, dusted, sifted, weighed, and measured for temperature using the machines of the operations tower. The automatic power shovel uses only a few minutes to unload a whole container of grain. Each granary has a resistance thermometer, enabling the inspector to ascertain the temperature of each granary from the instrument panel in the underground operations room. If he discovers that the temperature is high, with the flick of a switch he can air out 70,000 metric tons of grain in six days. If done manually, this amount of grain would take 300 individuals 1.5 years to dry in the sun. This grain-storage facility was built for Shijiazhuang Food Processing Industries to store ingredients and has greatly helped in maintaining product quality (Dagongbao [Limpartial], May 10, 1957). I once discussed the grain-storage problem with a member of the governments Grain Department and found out that the grain under government control (including the agricultural tax [paid in kind] and requisitions) amounts to about 50 billion kilograms. We must also add in the amount left over from last year, which was 10 billion kilograms, for a total of about 60 billion kilograms, or 60 million metric tons. If all of this grain were to be stored in mechanized grain-storage facilities, we would need to build 857 facilities, at a cost of about RMB 3 million per facility, or RMB 2.55 billion in total. But each granary is actually used at only 60 to 70 percent of capacity, owing to differences in crop yields from year to year. During a bumper-crop year, the harvest may fill up the granaries, but during poor-harvest years, only 60 to 70 percent of the granaries are used. Consequently, for a total storage capacity of 100 million metric tons, we need to build 1,428 grain-storage facilities and invest a total of RMB 4.28 billion. Where, I ask, is the money going to come from? Even if we could raise that kind of money, from where would we get the steel, concrete, and wood to build that many grain-storage facilities? If we suppose that each old-style storage facility needs a staff of 300 laborers (a manager at an old-style storage facility manages only 250,000 kilograms of grain), crop storage would require a labor force of 428,400 individuals. Moreover, they would take 1.5 years to finish drying the grain out in the sun. But now a new-style storage facility requires only 15 technicians to completely air out 70

233

A New Population Theory

metric tons of grain in 6 days. Hence, a modern facility requires a workforce only one-twentieth of that of an oldstyle facility. The other nineteen-twentieths are redundant. Because the productivity of these 15 technicians is high, their average monthly salary is RMB 80. Because their salaries are high, their purchasing power is high. In this way we can improve the material and cultural life of workers and achieve the goal of socialism. But how can we improve the material and cultural life of workers in the redundant nineteen-twentieths portion? Under the pressure of the present population of 640 million people, we find it hard to improve the material and cultural life of these workers. If an additional 13 million individuals are born every year, this problem will become greater with the passage of time, and we do not know how grave it will become. According to a factory and mine survey by Mr. Lou Baohua, of the No. 2 Shanghai National Cotton Mill (Renmin ribao [Peoples daily], October 9, 1957), between 1953 and 1957 the female workers of the No. 2 Shanghai State Cotton Mill gave birth to 3,049 babies, nearly equal to the present number of women workers in the mill. The birthrate of 1956 was nearly threefold that of 1946, before liberation. On the one hand, the birthrate of female workers rose, and on the other hand, the infant death rate declined. Prior to liberation, many children died of measles, diphtheria, smallpox, dysentery, and whooping cough, but today few children die of these diseases. This excessively high birthrate among women workers has led to the following unfortunate circumstances in this factory: 1. It has given rise to insufficient housing and difficulties in daily life, or has at least made it difficult to improve the quality of life. To mention just the workers crowded housing conditions, on average five people live in one room. At present, 40 to 50 percent of the applications for housing give large families as the reason for the application. 2. From January to June 1957, 414 workers of the factory required supplemental assistance because of large families, accounting for about one-third of those requiring supplemental assistance. 3. In 1956 women workers missed 6,842 days of work owing to gynecological problems, the main medical reason for worker absences. 4. Because they have excessive births, are overburdened with housework, lead poor-quality lives and have poor nutrition, their health is affected. 5. Some women workers, because they have many children, are unable to get a proper education.

6. Some young women workers, after they give birth and become busy with housework, lose their enthusiasm for politics. I firmly believe that as our enterprises become more developed, mechanization and automation will inevitably expand. Jobs requiring 1,000 workers in the past will require only 50 workers (assuming the ratio of onetwentieth across the board). What will the other 950 workers do? From this problem I conclude that with a large population we cannot proceed too quickly with mechanization and automation. At present we cannot create many large industries but rather have to develop small and medium-size industries. One reason is that small and medium-size enterprises can employ many workers. But to build a socialist country, China should create large enterprises. Lenin once said that without large enterprises, there can be no socialism (Liening wenji [The collected works of Lenin], vol. 7, p. 151). But our excessively large population prevents us from industrializing at a fast pace and from moving forward in large strides. Some people call me a Malthusian; I call them dogmatists and anti-Leninists. Of the 13 million people added to the workforce this year, only 1 million can be placed in industry (according to Vice Premier Li Fuchuns explanation in the second five-year plan). The other 12 million will have to work in the countryside. However, the average farmer today annually creates wealth of no more than about RMB 80 for the nation, while the average factory worker, with modern technical equipment, annually produces wealth of more than RMB 4,000 for the nation. The productivity of these two sectors of the population compare at a ratio of 1 to 50. The reason for this great disparity in productivity lies primarily in the fact that industrial workers can use modern technical equipment (some of which is of the newest type), whereas farmers can use only animal power, to which one must add that recently draft animals in some provinces have died in large numbers with the result that human labor is used to pull the plow when tilling the fields, further diminishing agricultural productivity. To increase agricultural productivity, two factors are necessary: water and fertilizer, and without water, spreading fertilizer is useless. Without irrigation equipment, if there is a drought or a flood, no amount of fertilizer will increase productivity. Farmers in the North lack the custom of storing up fertilizer, and this is due to the lack of sufficient water resources in this region. Chinas technological programs are underdeveloped, and so it has yet to control flooding and droughts. Its industry is also underdeveloped, and so it still lacks the capacity to supply large quantities of chemical fertilizer. These are the main reasons for the labor-productivity gap between
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

234

A New Population Theory

industry and agriculture. Saying these things, I no doubt lead some workers mistakenly to believe that they create more wealth for the country, that their contribution is greater, and consequently that they deserve higher salaries. Yet they do not realize that many input materials for industrial production come from the agricultural sector, that the accumulation of value is created in other sectors, and only because the last manufacturing phase is in their sector do the end results become manifest there. If we follow this line of thought and group together the 1 million workers and 12 million farmers mentioned above, then the average labor productivity per person is pitifully low. The problem is how to raise the labor productivity of these 12 million farmers. Doing so requires electrifying agriculture, mechanizing agriculture, and greatly increasing the production of chemical fertilizers. But where is the capital for all this? Where is the fund accumulation? Even with capital accumulation, where are the materials, such as steel and concrete? As in the past, floods continue to plague China, and now are more violent than ever, as the 1954 flood shows. In light of this, I think that to eliminate farmers loss of property and life to floods, it would be best to build a reservoir in the Three Gorges area capable of averting a once-in-a-millennium flood so that farmers would be high and dry. Clearly, the investment is considerable, the project vast, and a considerable area on the upper reaches of the Yangzi River would be flooded, but from the perspective of the long-term benefits to the country and farmers, such a project is worth undertaking. According to estimates by Mr. Lu Qinkan, chief engineer at the Waterpower Bureau of the Ministry of Electric Power, the cost of the Three Gorges project would be more than RMB 10 billion. It is also desirable to build industrial enterprises capable of using such electrical capacity. With this added on, the total cost would range from RMB 50 billion to RMB 100 billion. Where would such a large sum of money come from? Even if we had the money, where would such a large amount of steel and concrete come from? Moreover, because the project is so vast, it would take more than twenty years to complete. Even after the project is completed, it is not known how much benefit farmers would reap. Not only would the construction of waterworks and power plants completely transform farm villages; machines, fertilizer, transportation, fuel, and building materials would be brought into the area to service agriculture, with the result that farming villages would be transformed into important markets for heavy industry. But for now we have to wait for a while as far as the great Three Gorges project is concerned. After the socialist transformation of agriculture, that is, after the relations of production have changed and while the forces of production are vigorously moving forward, we must rapidly and positively prepare for the small-scale mechanization of agriculture. At present, a critical problem in the countryside is the seasonality of slack and peak periods. For example, in
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

the South, where they plant two crops of rice, farmers are exceedingly busy during the fifteen days when they harvest the first crop and plant the second. Hence, the key to increasing agriculture production is to provide machines to help farmers during this exceedingly busy period. The machines that farmers need most are rice harvesters, rice transplanters, and water pumps. As I mentioned above, our weakness is that consumption is high and fund accumulation is low. In 1956 Chinas national income was RMB 90 billion, of which consumption accounted for 79 percent and fund accumulation accounted for 21 percent, or more than RMB 18 billion. This capital has to be divided among many enterprises in heavy industry, light industry, agriculture (including forestry, livestock farming, and fisheries), transportation, construction, and business (including foreign trade), and thus the amount of capital allocated to each enterprise is miniscule, so of course none can make rapid strides forward. When capital accumulates this slowly and the population increases this rapidly, is it not nearly impossible to resolve the contradiction of having little capital and a large population? We are disinclined to borrow money from the United States. We cannot imperialistically exploit a colonial people to extract capital from them. Nor can we follow the example of Japan and use the indemnity of the First SinoJapanese War to finance industrialization. We have to renew ourselves using our own resources and accumulate capital by ourselves. But the ratio of our accumulation to our consumption is 21 percent to 79 percent. Can we decrease consumption and increase capital accumulation? A glance at our national circumstances shows that we are in a precarious situation. Our national income is divided into capital accumulation and consumption. If accumulation increases, then consumption declines and the people endure a meager quality of life. If, in contrast, consumption increases, then accumulation declines and we have to defer completing our industrialization. Hence we have to seek a balance between the two. To determine how we should balance the two, we need to look at our actual situation. In the Soviet Union, consumption accounts for 75 percent of national income and capital accumulation for 25 percent, or one-quarter. In China, because the standard of living is low and the population is large, the weight of consumption is somewhat higher: we have a ratio of 79 percent to 21 percent. We cannot follow the Soviet Union and increase accumulation to 25 percent and reduce consumption to 75 percent. That would amount to coddling industrialization and ignoring the people, and could lead to political instability. At present we place the population growth of 12 million individuals in the countryside. Though this is the only course open to us, it is difficult to avoid side effects. For example, farmers of today want to keep more of the grain that they produce,

235

A New Population Theory

and they look to urban residents for their standard of the necessities of life. They want to cook with oil, and as a result, oil is scarcer than grain. They want to wear new clothes, and consequently there is insufficient cloth available. This situation is already serious, yet every year we have to provide for a population increase of 13 million individuals, of whom 1 million are placed in the industrial sector and the remaining 12 million are placed in the countryside. Over the short term, we cannot increase the productivity of those in the countryside, but they have the same expectations as those in the cities. Over the long term, how can we manage? Thus, if we do not plan on how to deal with the population problem early on, farmers will convert all their gratitude into disappointment and dissatisfaction, and this will create difficulties for the government. For this reason, to raise the productivity of farmers, I advocate increasing the accumulation of funds and controlling the population. Otherwise, our nation will labor in vain. By saying that the farmers will convert all their gratitude into disappointment and dissatisfaction, I refer to the following: With land reform, 300 million farmers with no land or little land acquired 47 million hectares of land and no longer had to deliver 30 billion kilograms of grain annually as rent in kind to landowners and escaped all sorts of exploitation falling outside their obligations. In the seven years after land reform, from 1950 to 1956, the nation spent RMB 3.07 billion on basic waterworks, RMB 1.31 billion on disaster relief, and RMB 1.28 billion on distributing improved varieties of grain, introducing new farm implements, raising the level of agricultural-production technology, and carrying out pest control. These three items total more than RMB 5.66 billion. In addition, farmers during these seven years received low-interest loans of RMB 800 million from the government and no longer had to pay usurious interest rates. Even the poorest farmers no longer sell their children, starve or suffer the cold, are homeless, or beg in the streets. Farmers can live quite well in the agricultural cooperatives. Moreover, the government instituted a system of five guarantees in the countryside, thus giving the elderly something to rely on. What I want to say is that unless the government institutes some means of controlling the population, this gratitude could turn into disappointment and dissatisfaction.
6. WE NEED NOT ONLY TO ACCUMULATE FUNDS BUT ALSO TO SPEED UP ACCUMULATION

the liquid funds amounted to 3,000 rubles, for a total of 13,000 rubles. For the fifth year of the third five-year plan, the amount allocated per worker was six times that of the fifth year of the first five-year plan, and for the fifth year of the fifth five-year plan, the amount was twelve times. The reason that Soviet production capacity continued to grow was that technological equipment grew several fold every year. Chinas future situation should be the same. Hence, to increase industrial labor productivity, we have to greatly increase fund accumulation, increase our technology allocations per worker, and also control the population, because if the population is allowed to grow freely, it is difficult to increase capital accumulation rapidly. The quickest way to increase accumulation is to raise labor productivity. With an increase in labor productivity, workers incomes will naturally be higher, but if agricultural labor productivity cannot proportionally keep up with industrial labor productivity, the gap between farmers and workers incomes will be greater and greater, and this will affect the unity of farmers and workers. Hence, controlling the population is an urgent matter. The longer we put it off, the thornier and more difficult the problem becomes. Above I said that for the fifth year of the first Soviet five-year plan, the fixed-capital installation per worker was 10,000 rubles and the liquid funds 3,000 rubles. In China from 1953 to 1955, the fixed assets allocated for production equipment per worker in state enterprises, local state enterprises, and public-private partnership enterprises was RMB 5,273 in 1953, RMB 6,072 in 1954, and RMB 6,835 in 1955. One ruble is worth about RMB 0.5. Hence, China and the Soviet Union, in their first five-year plans, allocated roughly the same amount for industrial technology.
7. WE MUST CONTROL THE POPULATION TO HAVE SUFFICIENT INDUSTRIAL RAW MATERIALS

The more five-year plans that a socialist country carries out, the higher its productivity and the more advanced its technological requirements. For the fifth year of the Soviet Unions first five-year plan, the fixed capital allocated for technology per worker was 10,000 rubles, and

We would do best to invest accumulated capital in light industry, because light industry requires small investments, its construction projects are easier, and the return on investment is greater and quicker. In this way we can more effectively accumulate capital to develop heavy industry more extensively and more quickly. Presently, it costs RMB 35 million to build a cotton textile mill with 100,000 spindles and 3,500 looms. After the start of production, only one year is needed to recoup the complete investment (including the industrial profit, commercial profit, and taxes). The recoupment period is even shorter for printing and dyeing mills and wool textile mills. The expansion of light industry not only does not affect the construction of heavy industry; it aids in the development of heavy industry.
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

236

A New Population Theory

But expanding light industry must be done under conditions of sufficient capital and raw materials. For this reason, I need to discuss the relation between light industry and agriculture. Most of the raw materials for light industry come from agriculture. If we want to build a cotton textile mill, we need cotton from agriculture; if we want to develop a silk textile mill, we need silkworm cocoons from agriculture; if we want to develop an oil mill, we need soybeans, peanuts, sesame seeds, rapeseeds, and so on; if we want to develop a sugar refinery, we need sugarcane and sugar beets; if we want to develop a wool textile mill, we need raw wool. At present, supplies of oil, sugar, and cloth are far from meeting peoples ever growing demand for these products; they are scarcer than grain. If we want to increase the supply of these products, we need to expand the area for cultivating such cash crops as cotton, mulberry leaves, soybeans, peanuts, sesame seeds, sugarcane, and sugar beets. This will unavoidably reduce the area for cultivating grain and thus will affect the size of the grain crop. Hence, these various cash crops compete with grain for the available land. We need to find a suitable balance among these competing products. If the population grows without limit, this suitable balance will increasingly be destroyed: The increase in population will necessitate an increase in the production of grain. This will decrease the amount of land available to cash crops, affecting light industry directly and heavy industry indirectly. Thus, increases in the population act to reduce the accumulation of capital and delay industrialization. Hence, we must control the population. At present sugar is extraordinarily scarce, just like edible oil. If we expand the area for cultivating sugar beets, beets will compete for land with grain and other crops. Xin Zhongguo Sugar Refinery and Fanjia Sugar Refinery, in Jilin Province, rely primarily on the interior counties of Yushu, Huaide, Jiutai, and Dehui for their supply of sugar beets. But these counties are also the provinces greatest producers of grain and soybeans. If we greatly expand the production of sugar beets in these areas, we will reduce the area for cultivating grain and soybeans. Also, because the land [area] is limited, it is not possible to carry out crop rotation, which affects the quantity and quality of a sugar beet crop. For example, in 1953 a hectare produced 12,000 kilograms of sugar beets, with an average sugar content of 14.3 percent. In 1955 a hectare produced only 9,000 kilograms of sugar beets, with an average sugar content of just 11.4 percent. Such trends will cause the sugar-refining industry to shrink rather than expand. From the discussion above, one can draw the following conclusion. Heavy industry and light industry are not yet as closely connected as light industry and agriculture. China is an agricultural country. If agriculture cannot develop rapidly, then it is difficult to expect that heavy
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

industry will make great strides forward. Easing scarcity this year relies on hopes for a big harvest in the fall. In Chinas development, heavy-industry projects are given first priority. Much of the turnkey equipment and important goods and materials must be imported from abroad, but how many heavy-industry goods and materials we can import from abroad depends on how many agricultural and light-industry goods and materials we can export, and light-industry goods and materials are made from agricultural goods and materials. Because Chinas chemical industry, especially its organic-chemical industry, is not yet developed, about 90 percent of the raw materials for light industry come from agriculture. Hence, expansions and contractions of agriculture, that is, good and bad harvests, have a decisive impact on heavy industry and industrialization. If the population is left to expand naturally and is not controlled, it will affect industrialization. According to a speech given by Foreign Trade Minister Ye Jizhuang at the fourth session of the National Peoples Congress, in 1957 planned trade amounted to RMB 9.955 billion, a decline of 8.4 percent from the year before. Of this amount, imports accounted for RMB 4.7 billion, a decline of 10.2 percent from the year before, and exports accounted for RMB 5.2 billion, a decline of 6.6 percent from the year before. These declines were due to lower agricultural output as a result of disasters in some areas, which made exporting to meet demand difficult. But the main reason is that over the past several years, agricultural products and processed agricultural products made up about 75 percent of Chinas exports, while minerals and industrial products such as machines made up about 25 percent. At present, because the pace of increasing agricultural output has been affected by limited arable land and natural disasters, and because Chinese demand for lightindustrial products has gradually increased, several types of commercial products have been exported less in order to meet the ever increasing demand in the domestic market. Yet with increases in exports of mineral products, industrial products, handicrafts, and small local products, China this year has maintained a respectable level of exports and can meet its needs and import equipment important for its development. In any case, because international trade has declined, progress in industrialization has been affected.
8. WE MUST CONTROL THE POPULATION TO PROMOTE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

The fundamental social transformations, and outstanding achievements in science and technology, of the twentieth century are not just a confluence of circumstances, but rather have an internal, necessary connection in that both are based on developments in material production. The discovery of aviation, radiotelegraphy, remote control, and especially nuclear power would not be possible without

formidable present-day industry. These other technologies aside, we cannot even manufacture stainless steel, neither can the Soviet Union produce much stainless steel, and purchasing it from other countries is difficult. The newly built chemical-fertilizer plant in Sichuan still cannot acquire needed stainless steel. To build a chemical-fertilizer plantfrom design, construction, and installation to the start of operationsgenerally takes about five to six years. In most cases, a large-scale chemical-fertilizer plant should be built in a country with an industrial base, or even an advanced industrial base, because advanced technology and materials are required. Such increases in the productive forces form the material basis for far-reaching scientific development, which in turn promotes further development of the productive forces. If theory and practice become well integrated, such development can raise the level of our research. Practice leads to advances in theory, which in turn guides practice. For those working in science, this cycle is a benchmark and the only procedure for pursuing scientific truth. The draft report of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed to the nation areas where it had a strong foundation and areas where its foundation was insufficient. For instance, publications that received awards belong mainly to fields that have a good foundation in China, yet in some new fields, especially fields urgently needed for economic and defense construction, few publications received awards. This state of affairs reflects past historical reality, calling out for notice in scientific circles, namely, that efforts must be correctly directed to urgent areas where we are weak. Yet if economic and defense construction continue to advance, this will naturally promote research within these fields, lead to increased establishment of new institutions, and expand our research capacity. Let me discuss the matter in terms of engineering science. The work of engineering science is to seek theoretical solutions to practical problems and then to test them in practice. At present, in many parts of the country state farms and agricultural cooperatives have raised technical problems related to agricultural production and seek solutions from agricultural-science research institutes. We have to provide those solutions, and researchers, in providing solutions to the continuously appearing technical problems in agriculture, discover new data. Within this data lies the richest source of new theories. It is impossible even to imagine discussing the research of engineering science divorced from practice. If Chinese science is to catch up to the level of the rest of the world, it must do so in tandem with the development of production. We cannot divide scientific research into theoretical and practical research, because this so-called theory is theory in the service of developing solutions to practical problems. The two go hand in hand. In the past the Soviet Academy of Sciences made such a division, but later realized that this division was not appropriate, and did away with it. In addition,

only when there is the pressure of demands related to production can scientific research be hastened along. If our productive sector cannot catch up to the level of the worlds advanced countries within twelve years and we insist on driving our research sector forward, this would be like rolling a boulder up a mountain. Premier Zhou Enlai, in a section on promoting science in Report on the Work of the Government (Zhengfu gongzuo baogao, 1957), said, A distinguishing feature of science in the new China is the close connection between science and production. Production is the driving force behind science. During the Republican period, because industrial and agricultural production was on the decline, even though scientists carried out research, they could not affect production. In the eight years since liberation, with the development of production, the productive sector has made many demands on the scientific-research sector, our scientists have had ample opportunity to display their talents, and they have already achieved much. From this perspective, we must first equip industry with the technology it needs and raise labor productivity as quickly as possible. Only then can we firm up the material base of scientific research. Although the conditions for doing science have greatly improved, because of the limited level of industry and national budgetary constraints, we still cannot fully meet all the demands for research. If we wish to promote scientific research, we must rapidly accumulate capital and also strive to control the population to keep population growth from restraining the advance of scientific research. In the future most of Chinas scientific research capacity will be placed in academies of science, 227 institutions of higher education, and many industrial sectors located throughout the country. The fact that they bring together large groups of research talent, cover so many research areas, and are dispersed to all areas of China is of advantage to the development of the scientific enterprise. To support the establishment of scientific culture in newly established industrial districts and some minority regions, we must build new institutions of higher education and new academies of science in these areas and will need some scientists to leave their original research environments and go there to work. In new research environments, these scientists may find that their research is affected, but over the long term, such placement will greatly benefit the development of science in China. Because developments in every field of science do not arise in isolation, the more advanced a field of science is, the more it requires coordination with related fields of science. (A characteristic of modern science is that various fields are closely connected and mutually influencing. Important problems in national construction are often solved only through research that spans many fields. For this reason we are carrying out research in many important areas.) An example of such coordination is building and launching a satellite, a
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

238

A New Population Theory

complicated project requiring cross-disciplinary coordination in the areas of rocketry, metallurgy, mechanics, astronomy, mathematics, physics, chemistry, meteorology, geophysics, geodesic surveying, and wireless electronics. Another example is the international geophysical year. Why would scientists of the nations of the world carry out an international geophysical year from July 1 of this year (1957)? One reason is that after World War II, science and engineering made rapid technological progress. Progress in radio physics and rocket technology gave scientists good tools for measuring high-altitude values, and scientists could use these results to measure the earth. From these facts, one can see that without coordination of scientific research in the fields of radio physics and rocket technology, it would be impossible to make observations of the earth. Hence, we should want all sectors related to production to advance in equilibrium. But this state of affairs requires a greater accumulation of capital and stricter control of the population.
9. WE MUST CONTROL THE POPULATION TO HAVE SUFFICIENT GRAIN

but this requires developing and applying the appropriate science and technology and especially requires the accumulation of much capital. Hence, for sufficient grain as well, we must control the population. In On the Correct Handling of Contradictions among the People (Guanyu zhengque chuli renmin neibu maodun de wenti), Chairman Mao said, To help agriculture develop and the cooperatives to consolidate, we are planning to stabilize the total annual amount of the grain tax plus the grain purchased by the state at somewhat more than 40 billion kilograms within a few years. In this way, the small number of grain-deficient households still found in the countryside will no longer be short, all peasant households, except some raising industrial crops, will have grain reserves or at least become self-sufficient, there will no longer be poor peasants in the countryside, and the standard of living of the farmers will reach or surpass the middle peasants level. These words of the chairmans came from his heart and brings good tidings to the people. If we can control the population, this high aspiration can be realized.
10. A FEW SUGGESTIONS

For reasons of space, I will limit my discussion here of the relationship between population and food. I plan to devote another essay exclusively to this topic. Here I will just note that China has little land and a large population. The nation has a population of 640 million people and less than 2,000 square meters of land per individual. Some people point out that China has 100 million hectares of wasteland, but some of this consists of craggy mountains, some of arid land, and some of grasslands on which minorities practice nomadic pastoralism and which cannot be developed into farmland. Even today we have no accurate statistics on how much wasteland can be brought under cultivation. In addition, Chinas industry is backward, and its financial resources are limited; we still cannot quickly open up vast tracts of wasteland to cultivation. From 1953 to 1956 China annually brought 930,000 hectares of wasteland under cultivation, but because the population grew, the average amount of arable land per person fell from 1,867 square meters in 1953 to 1,800 square meters in 1955. Furthermore, natural disasters affect agricultural output and cause farmers income to vary greatly. For example, in Jiangsu Province in 1955, the average farm household had an income of RMB 306 (this survey data is not representative of all of Jiangsu Province), and if we assume that a household has four individuals, this average income works out to RMB 76.50 per person. In 1956 the province suffered disaster, and the average income per farm individual fell to RMB 49.90. Because farmers incomes are so variable, to stabilize their incomes, we need to prevent natural disasters from happening by undertaking large water-conservancy projects, like that at Sanmenxia,
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

First, the first national census, taken in 1953, enabled us to get a clear picture of the population and understand its distribution on gender, age, ethnic group, and urban or rural place of residence. This is good, but to effect wise and healthy population policies and to help scientists carry out research, we need to carry out dynamic population surveys, including the statistical distribution of births, deaths, marriages, divorces, and changes of residence. Hence, I suggest that in 1958, or at the latest in 1963 during the general election, we carry out another census to enable us to know the actual growth of the population during these past five or ten years, that we compile dynamic population statistics, that we decide on population policies on this foundation, and that we include population growth in the second or third five-year plan to make these later plans gradually more accurate. Second, above I discussed how the population of the Hawaiian Islands does not increase with an increase in the food supply. The main reason is that Hawaiians are not fond of having many children and grandchildren. But circumstances are the opposite in China. Here the notion of carrying on the family line is rooted too deeply. If a persons quality of life is good, he thinks of marrying, worries about not having descendents, fears traveling far from home, and loves his native place. In addition, peoples actions are still dominated by many feudal ways of thinking, captured in such adages as Give birth to a precious son early on, A house full of sons and grandsons, Five generations under one roof, Oh, the prosperity of five generations still alive, More sons means more happiness and longer life. Hence, women regard

239

On Khrushchovs [Khrushchevs] Phony Communism and Its Historical Lessons for the World

giving birth to a son as their natural duty and not raising children as a shame, and parents insist that should their daughter-in-law fail to have children, their son should have no qualms about taking a second wife or a concubine. But if we want to limit childbearing and control the population, as a first step we must widely disseminate among farmers the importance of limiting childbearing and ensure that they have the means to practice contraception. We must also widely inform people about the disadvantages of early marriage and the benefits of late marriage, the appropriate age for marriage being about 25 for men and 23 for women. But for the time being, we should not contemplate changing the Marriage Law. The reason is this: Though we should raise the age of marriage, we have not sufficiently instilled the notion of limiting childbearing. Hence, rural men and women, young and old alike, have not yet universally grasped the reasons and need for restricting childbearing. Thus, changing the law may have unintended consequences. For instance, young rural men and women, thinking that changes to the Marriage Law will raise the age of marriage and cause them to delay marriage, may marry early. It is not too late to change the Marriage Law after the education campaign. After we change the Marriage Law, if we find that it does not sufficiently control the population, we can, of course, supplement the law with stricter, more effective administrative measures. According to present calculations, the state spends about RMB 10,000 for each childs education and employment equipment. Ordinary people often do not sufficiently understand that household expenses for a child are less than the states expenses. Hence, the state ought to have the right to interfere in childbearing and to control the population. In any case, controlling the population has as its purpose to increase the productivity of the people, especially farmers, in order to raise the level of their material and cultural quality of life so that they can live happier, more enriched lives. Third, the best and most effective way to control the population is family planning. What is important is that we promote contraception and avoid induced abortion. For one, abortion is the taking of life. At the stage of abortion, the child has already formed in the mothers body. It has a right to life. Except in cases where the mothers health is at risk, one should not resort to abortion. For another, abortion can damage the mothers health and cause her to suffer illnesses. Some of my relatives, who originally were in good health, after having their uteruses scraped, suffered one illness after another. A third reason is that abortion can reduce the need to practice contraception. Young women may not concern themselves with contraception and instead rely on abortion. According to several well-known Beijing doctors, some women, just after having an abortion, get pregnant again, run to the hospital, and make a fuss. The main reason for this behavior is that couples rely on abortion

and do not conscientiously practice contraception. Some men especially do not take responsibility for contraception, seek only a moments pleasure, and do not concern themselves with the long-term suffering of women. This situation is really unfair. A fourth reason is that abortion may increase the burden on physicians. The Soviet Union has a population of only 200 million, but it has more than 350,000 physicians, and its hospitals have 1.354 million beds. China has more than three times the population of the Soviet Union, but it has only 60,000 surgeons who can perform abortion. The situation in Chinas hospitals is already tight. If we foist upon physicians the additional burden of performing abortions, this will no doubt impede their treating of other illnesses. Hence, I earnestly request the Ministry of Health to consider these matters in formulating policy. Translated by Alan Thwaits

Mao Zedong. On Khrushchovs Phony Communism and Its Historical Lessons for the World: Comment on the Open Letter of the Central Committee of the CPSU (IX). Peking: Foreign Languages Press, 1964. The Sino-Soviet disagreements that split the international communist movement first became public in the early 1960s. The polemic between the Soviet and Chinese parties was expressed in the Letter of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union [CPSU] to the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (March 1963) and in a reply and nine responses issued by the Chinese Central Committee between June 1963 and July 1964. These documents set out Maos views on Soviet revisionismits origins, development, and impactand were read in obligatory political study meetings all over China. The text below is taken from the ninth comment.

INTRODUCTION

The theories of the proletarian revolution and the dictatorship of the proletariat are the quintessence of Marxism-Leninism. The questions of whether revolution should be upheld or opposed and whether the dictatorship of the proletariat should be upheld or opposed have always been the focus of struggle between MarxismLeninism and all brands of revisionism and are now the
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

240

The Twenty-three Articles

focus of struggle between Marxist-Leninists the world over and the revisionist Khrushchov clique. At the 22nd Congress of the CPSU, the revisionist Khrushchov clique developed their revisionism into a complete system not only by rounding off their antirevolutionary theories of peaceful coexistence and peaceful transition but also by declaring that the dictatorship of the proletariat is no longer necessary in the Soviet Union and advancing the absurd theories of the state of the whole people and the party of the entire people. The Programme put forward by the revisionist Khrushchov clique at the 22nd Congress of the CPSU is a programme of phoney communism, a revisionist programme against proletarian revolution and for the abolition of the dictatorship of the proletariat and the proletarian party. The revisionist Khrushchov clique abolish the dictatorship of the proletariat behind the camouflage of the state of the whole people, change the proletarian character of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union behind the camouflage of the party of the entire people and pave the way for the restoration of capitalism behind that of full-scale communist construction. In its Proposal concerning the General Line of the International Communist Movement dated June 14, 1963, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China pointed out that it is most absurd in theory and extremely harmful in practice to substitute the state of the whole people for the state of the dictatorship of the proletariat and the party of the entire people for the vanguard party of the proletariat. This substitution is a great historical retrogression which makes any transition to communism impossible and helps only to restore capitalism. The Open Letter of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the press of the Soviet Union resort to sophistry in self-justification and charge that our criticisms of the state of the whole people and the party of the entire people are allegations far removed from Marxism, betray isolation from the life of the Soviet people and are a demand that they return to the past. Well, let us ascertain who is actually far removed from Marxism-Leninism, what Soviet life is actually like and who actually wants the Soviet Union to return to the past. . . . Khrushchov has abolished the dictatorship of the proletariat in the Soviet Union and established a dictatorship of the revisionist clique headed by himself, that is, a dictatorship of the privileged stratum of the Soviet bourgeoisie. Actually his state of the whole people is not a state of the dictatorship of the proletariat but a state in which his small revisionist clique wield their dictatorship
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

over the masses of the workers, the peasants and the revolutionary intellectuals. Under the rule of the Khrushchov clique, there is no democracy for the Soviet working people, there is democracy only for the handful of people belonging to the revisionist Khrushchov clique, for the privileged stratum and for the bourgeois elements, old and new. Khrushchovs democracy for the whole people is nothing but out-and-out bourgeois democracy, i.e., a despotic dictatorship of the Khrushchov clique over the Soviet people. In the Soviet Union today, anyone who persists in the proletarian stand, upholds Marxism-Leninism and has the courage to speak out, to resist or to fight is watched, followed, summoned, and even arrested, imprisoned or diagnosed as mentally ill and sent to mental hospitals. Recently the Soviet press has declared that it is necessary to fight against those who show even the slightest dissatisfaction, and called for relentless battle against the rotten jokers who are so bold as to make sarcastic remarks about Khrushchovs agricultural policy. . . . It is not particularly astonishing that the revisionist Khrushchov clique should have on more than one occasion bloodily suppressed striking workers and the masses who put up resistance. The formula of abolishing the dictatorship of the proletariat while keeping a state of the whole people reveals the secret of the revisionist Khrushchov clique; that is, they are firmly opposed to the dictatorship of the proletariat but will not give up state power till their doom. The revisionist Khrushchov clique know the paramount importance of controlling state power. They need it for clearing the way for the restoration of capitalism in the Soviet Union. These are Khrushchovs real aims in raising the banners of the state of the whole people and democracy for the whole people.

SOME PROBLEMS CURRENTLY ARISING IN THE COURSE OF THE RURAL SOCIALIST EDUCATION MOVEMENT

NOTICE: To regional bureaus of the Central Committee; province, municipality, and autonomous region Party committees; Party member groups of the various central ministries and commissions; and the General Political Department of the Military Affairs Committee. The Politburo of the Central Committee convened a National Work Conference, discussed some problems currently arising in the course of the rural Socialist Education Movement, and wrote a summary of the discussions. We now send you this document. If this document should contradict previous Central Committee documents concerning the Socialist Education Movement then this document shall uniformly be taken as the standard. This document should be issued to Party committees at and above the hsien and regiment levels, and to the Party committees of work brigades and teams. The Central Committee, January 14, 1965 A Summary of the Discussions of the National Work Conference Convened by the Politburo of the Central Committee, January 14, 1965 I. The Situation Since the tenth plenum of the eighth Central Committee in September 1962, through the development of socialist education in urban areas as well as the countryside, the execution of a series of Central Committee policies by the whole Party, the active efforts of the masses, the broad number of Party members, and cadres, a very good situation has come into being on the political, economic, ideological and cultural, and military fronts in our country. In the past few months, in the entire country more than one million cadres went deeply into the basic level units in the cities and countryside, and the socialist revolutionary movement manifested a new high tide.

All the great accomplishments which our country obtained so quickly during the past few years prove the Partys general line of building socialism is correct, and at the same time prove further that the Chinese Communist Party led by Comrade Mao Tse-tung is a glorious, great and correct party. Our Party will not betray the trust and hopes of the people of the whole nation and of the people of the world. In our cities and villages alike, there exists serious, acute class struggle. After the socialist reform of the ownership system was basically completed, the class enemies who oppose socialism attempted to use the form of peaceful evolution to restore capitalism. This situation of class struggle is necessarily reflected within the Party. The leadership of certain communes, brigades, enterprises and units has either been corrupted or usurped. In our work, in the process of moving forward, there exist a great many problems. Practice proves that as long as the whole Party penetratingly and correctly continues to execute the Central Committees various decisions concerning the Socialist Education Movement, continues to grasp the principles of class struggle, continues to rely on the working class, the poor and lower-middle peasants, the revolutionary cadres, the revolutionary intellectuals and other revolutionary elements, and continues to pay close attention to uniting more than 95 percent of our people and 95 percent of our cadres, then the many problems which exist in the cities and in the villages will not only be easy to discover, but will also be easy to resolve. We must resolutely continue the Socialist Education Movement of the past two years and more, and carry it through to the end; we absolutely must not falter. The present problem is to sum up the past experience of this movement, assess our achievements, and overcome the shortcomings in our work in order to facilitate an even greater victory. II. The Nature of the Movement Several ways of presentation: 1. The contradiction between the Four Cleans and the Four Uncleans; 2. The overlapping of contradictions within the Party and contradictions outside of the Party, or the overlapping of contradictions between the enemy and us and contradictions within the people; 3. The contradiction between socialism and capitalism. The former two ways do not clarify the fundamental characteristics of the Socialist Education Movement. These two approaches do not refer to what society the contradiction of the Four Cleans and Four Uncleans arises in. Nor do they indicate what the nature is of the overlapping
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

242

The Twenty-three Articles

of contradictions within the Party and contradictions outside of the Party. They also do not indicate in what historical period the overlapping of contradictions between the enemy and us and contradictions within the people arises nor the class content of this overlapping. If we take a literal point of view, the so-called Four Cleans and Four Uncleans could be applied to any society in past history and the so-called overlapping of contradictions within the Party and contradictions outside the Party could be applied to any party. The so-called overlapping of contradictions between the enemy and us and contradictions within the people could be applied to any historical period. These approaches do not explain the nature of todays contradictions; therefore they are not Marxist-Leninist methods of looking at things. The last way of presenting the nature of the movement comprehends the essence of the question, and is Marxist-Leninist. It is decidedly in accord with the scientific theories of Comrade Mao Tse-tung, and with the policies adopted by the Central Committee at various times since the second plenum of the Seventh Central Committee in 1949, concerning the continued existence, during the entire transitional period, of class contradictions, class struggle between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, and struggle between the two roads of socialism and capitalism. If we forget the basic theory and basic practice of our Party during the past decade and a half, we will go astray. The key point of this movement is to rectify those people in positions of authority within the Party who take the capitalist road, and to progressively consolidate and develop the socialist battlefront in the urban and rural areas. Of those people in positions of authority who take the capitalist road, some are out in the open and some are concealed. Of the people who support them, some are at lower levels and some are at higher levels. Among those lower down, some have already been classified as landlords, rich peasants, counter-revolutionaries and bad elements, while others have been overlooked. Among those at higher levels, there are some people in the communes, districts, hsien, special districts, and even in the work of provincial and Central Committee departments, who oppose socialism. Among them some were originally alien class elements; some are degenerate elements who have shed their original skin and changed their nature; and some have received bribes, banded together for seditious purposes, violated the law, and violated discipline. Certain people do not distinguish the boundary between the enemy and ourselves; they have lost their class standpoint; and they harbor, within their own families and among their own friends and fellow workers, those people who engage in capitalist activities.
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

The great majority of our cadres want to take the socialist road, but there are some among them who have but a hazy knowledge of the socialist revolution, who employ personnel improperly, who are haphazard about checking up on work, and who commit the mistake of bureaucratism. III. A Unified Way of Presentation The Socialist Education Movement in the cities and countryside will from now on be uniformly simplified as the Four Cleans Movementclean politics, clean economics, clean organization, and clean ideology. In the past, the Socialist Education Movement in the cities was called the Five Anti movement. From now on we will call it the Four Cleans Movement and will abolish the Five Anti. IV. Setting Good Standards for the Movement At the June 1964 meeting of the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the Central Committee attended by the first secretaries of the regional bureaus of the Central Committee, Comrade Mao Tse-tung said:
What are good standards for evaluation of the Socialist Education Movement?

1. We must see whether the poor and lower-middle peasants have been truly aroused. 2. Has the problem of the Four Uncleans among the cadres been resolved? 3. Have the cadres participated in physical labor? 4. Has a good leadership nucleus been established? 5. When landlords, rich peasants, counterrevolutionaries and bad elements who engage in destructive activities are discovered, is this contradiction merely turned over to the higher levels, or are the masses mobilized to strictly supervise, criticize, and even appropriately struggle against these elements, and moreover retain them for reform on the spot? 6. We must see whether production is increasing or decreasing. At that time, the Standing Committee of the Politburo held that these standards for assessing whether the Socialist Education Movement was being carried out properly were fully appropriate. V. Work Methods 1. Within the movement as a whole, provincial, special district, and hsien level party committees and work teams, relying on the great majority of the masses

243

The Twenty-three Articles

and cadres (including cadres who have cast aside their misgivings and doubts), must gradually carry out the 3 unifications with respect to the masses, cadres, and work teams. 2. Once the movement has begun, we must immediately explain its meaning to the cadres and masses, and we must inform them of our policies. We must clearly declare that, no matter what commune or brigade, and no matter whether during or after the movement, the use of pretexts for opposing the masses of commune members will not be permitted. 3. The work teams must, during the movement and during the process of struggle, arouse the poor and lower-middle peasants, organize class ranks, discover activist elements and train them to form a leadership nucleus, and work together with them. We must not be quiet; we must not be mysterious; and we must not confine our activities to a small minority of the people. 4. In the course of the movement, from start to finish we must grasp production. At the same time, we must pay attention to grasping each years distribution (the question of livelihood). If we do not grasp the questions of production and distribution, we will become divorced from the masses and will bring grievous harm to our cause. 5. We must proceed on the basis of local conditions. Reality demands this. Whatever problems the masses require to be solved must be solved. Whatever imbalances occur in our work must be rectified. 6. In the movement, we must boldly unleash the masses; we must not be like women with bound feetwe must not bind our hands and feet. At the same time, we must make a deep and fine penetration, and must not make a big fuss over nothing. We must set the facts in order, explain principles, eliminate simple, crude work methods, severely prohibit beating people and other forms of physical punishment, and prevent forced confessions. 7. To sum up: in the course of the movement as a whole, we must make use of contradictions to win over the majority, oppose the minority, and attack and defeat all who persist in taking the capitalist roadalways a very small minority. Some people have committed mistakes which can still be rectified. With regard to those people who are the target of the Four Cleans movement, we must be good at discriminating among them and treating them differentially, taking the worst people and isolating them or narrowly confining them.

VI. Concentrate Our Forces, Fight a War of Annihilation In leading the movement, we must have an overall, balanced point of view and an overall, balanced deployment. We must, through preliminary investigation and study, carry out a preliminary ordering of our ranks. We must suitably concentrate our forces to fight a war of annihilation. Starting in those key areas where the greatest number of problems exist, and where the influence [of those problems] is great, we must first make a breakthrough at a [single] point and then have an all-around thrust. Point work does not refer merely to our working within production brigades, for we must also appropriately unite upper and lower level bodies as well as different bodies at the same level. The movement should develop group by group and phase by phase like the motion of a wavefirst resolving problems at one place and then moving on to resolve problems elsewhere. The various provinces and cities should have the right to allocate their forces, and when necessary they may concentrate their cadres for training purposes during the course of the movement. We should not rely on human sea tactics. We must not concentrate excessively large work teams within a single hsien, commune, or brigade. In this way, more points can be dealt with at the same time. This will also help us to follow the mass line. The main thing is to go all out to prepare a nucleus of cadres who are able to grasp the Partys policy and who are able to understand and follow the mass line. VII. Squatting at Points If one has not investigated, then one has no right of expression. This teaching of Comrade Mao Tse-tung must be observed in our work. The effective investigation and research methods used by our Party in the past, such as that of holding investigation meetings, should continue to be utilized. Squatting at a point and dissecting a sparrow [i.e., making a thorough and careful analysistransl.] is a very important method of leadership. Leading cadres must in a selective and planned manner continue to squat at points, going down to the basic levels and penetrating into the masses and, in the course of the movement and struggle, gaining relatively systematic experience. There can be different methods of squatting at points. There should be a group of people who, for a relatively long period of time, go down into a brigade to guide the movement to its completion from beginning to end. The leading personnel of Party organizations at the Central Committee regional bureau, provincial, special
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

244

The Twenty-three Articles

district, and hsien levels must implement the leadership methods which combine the general and individual aspects. Besides selecting a locality for squatting, they can convene meetings in places where they are squatting themselves or in other places, and carry out investigation, research and guidance of work in other points, and of production and other kinds of work in whole regions, provinces, special districts and hsien on the plane. They can also go on inspection tours of other places, or organize small-scale roving inspection groups in order to facilitate their grasping of an active attitude, the mutual communication of information, and the exchange of experience. VIII. Grasping Work on the Plane We must look after both points and the plane. At present the plane, outside of the key points which are carrying out the Four Cleans movement, constitutes the great majority of the country. The main task in these areas is production and construction. This task must conscientiously be well done. The Central Committee bureaus, provincial committees, and special district committees must grasp the work of entire regions, provinces, and special districts. With regard to work on the plane, these committees must also appropriately carry on the work of socialist education, of raising the political consciousness of the cadres, and of stimulating the latter to self-awaredly cleanse their hands and bodies. We should clearly declare to them that if their problems are not great, or if their problems are many but they confess and make restitution, and as long as they perform their work and make up for their errors with achievements, then we will not go into these things that are past. Some hsien on the plane, if they have the proper conditions and the approval of the provincial committee, can also carry out Four Cleans point testing work. The training of cadres in some localities can be used as reference for effective methods in developing from point to plane. IX. The Cadre Question 1) In dealing with the cadre question, we must use the method of one divides into two. We should adopt a serious, positive, and affectionate attitude toward them. 2) The situation will gradually become clarified. There are four possible types of cadres: good, relatively good, those with many problems, and those whose mistakes are of a serious nature. Under general conditions, cadres of the first two types are in the majority. 3) Comrade Mao Tse-tung long ago said: We must adopt the policy of warn a man first so he may afterwards exert himself to goodness and treating the illness
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

to save the man in dealing with people who make mistakes. He also said, We must make a distinction between those party members and cadres who have committed mistakes, but who can still be educated, and those who cannot be saved. No matter what their backgrounds, we must step up their education and must not discard them. At the present time, we must continue to heed these instructions of Comrade Mao Tse-tung. The policy we ought to adopt toward those cadres who have committed mistakes is to persuade them to accept education, cleanse their hands and bodies, go to battle unencumbered, and unite against the enemy. It is a policy which arises from a profound hope for unity; one which, through criticism or struggle, brings about the resolution of contradictions; and which then attains a new unity on a new foundation. 4) Toward those cadres who have committed minor Four Unclean mistakes or who, though they have had many problems, have freely confessed their past histories, we ought to do our utmost to quickly liberate them. Toward those cadres whose mistakes are of a nature which is presently unclear, and who may therefore have been unsuitably retained at their original work posts, we may change their work or give them concentrated training, and carry on investigation of their cases. 5) Economic indemnities must not be randomly or unsystematically imposed. At the same time, such indemnities must accord with the actual conditions and with reason. In cases where the problems are not serious, and where examination and criticism has been relatively good, if the masses so agree, such indemnities may be reduced, delayed, or even cancelled. 6) We must adopt necessary and suitable disciplinary measures toward those cadres who have committed mistakes. This is for the purpose of educating and transforming them. As long as they are willing to take the socialist road, the Party will unite with them, and the masses will unite with them. Of those incompetent cadres, some can be regulated and some can be transformed. Those Party members who do not fulfill the conditions of membership can be exhorted to leave the Party. These cases can all be dealt with in the latter stage of the movement. 7) Where the nature of the mistakes is seriouswhere leadership authority has been taken over by alien class elements or by degenerate elements who have shed their skin and changed their natureauthority must be seized, first by struggle and then by removing these elements from their positions. In general, the question of their membership in the Party should be resolved later. In cases which are especially serious, these elements can be fired from their posts on the spot, their Party membership cards taken away, and they may even, if need be, be

245

The Twenty-three Articles

forcibly detained. Counter-revolutionaries, landlords, rich peasants and bad elements who have wormed their way into the Party must all be expelled from the Party. In places where authority must be seized, or under conditions where the peoples militia organization is critically impure, we should adopt the method of turning over the weapons and ammunition of the peoples militia to reliable elements among the poor and lower-middle peasants. 8) When necessary, individual counter-revolutionaries or bad elements who have severely coerced the masses may be placed temporarily under guard or sent to do physical labor in the countryside until their cases are judged. In the most serious cases, such as murder, arson, or other serious crimes where the culprit is actually caught in the act, they may be arrested and their cases dealt with by legal channels. 9) Some bad cadres may have formed cliques. We must guard against classifying too many groups as cliques, or classifying the membership of the cliques too broadly. X. Establishing Poor and Lower-Middle Peasants Associations Poor and Lower-Middle Peasants Associations are revolutionary class organizations of a mass nature voluntarily organized by the poor and lower-middle peasants under the leadership of the Communist Party. These organizations supervise and assist cadres of various levels within the peoples communes in carrying out work. This type of organization will fully develop its functions in the consolidation of the dictatorship of the proletariat, the consolidation of the collective economy, and the development of collective production. The poor and lower-middle peasants, and their labor power in production, make up 60 to 70 percent of the total population and labor power in the countryside. They constitute the great majority. Poor peasants associations, once they have been organized, may attract prosperous middle peasants and other people who have ambitions of self-advancement. These latter elements will try to ally with those people whose attitude toward socialism is normally wavering. During the course of the Socialist Education Movement, in those places where basic-level organizations have atrophied or become paralyzed, and before a new leadership nucleus has been formed, we may implement [the policy of] all power to the poor and lower-middle peasants associations. XI. The Question of Time For a brigade, about half a year; for a hsien, a year or more. Estimating from the fall and winter of 1964, about three years will be needed to complete the movement

throughout one-third of our country. Within six or seven years, the movement will be completed throughout the whole country. So long as our policies and work methods are correct, the pace of the movement may be accelerated somewhat. XII. Declaration of Policies concerning Concealed Lands After free and open discussion by the masses, the state will refrain for a period of about five years from increasing burdens on, and will not make further procurements from, those lands which have been concealed. XIII. The Work of Finance and Trade Departments Must Be Adjusted to Fit the Four Cleans Movement Increasing burdens or the repayment of loans will not be permitted simply because a certain place has already carried out the Four Cleans movement. Finance and trade organs, with respect to investment and loans, ought suitably to support production and construction in those areas which are carrying out the Four Cleans movement. XIV. The Composition of Work Teams It is not necessary to be fully and completely clean. Those who have committed mistakes may also participate, on the one hand to facilitate their education and transformation, and on the other hand so that some of them can gain an all-around view of the movement and thus become useful workers. The work teams must continually summarize experiences and fix times for readjustment. XV. Providing a Way Out With regard to landlords, rich peasants, counterrevolutionaries, bad elements, and elements who have shed their skin and changed their nature, under the supervision of the masses they must undergo reform through labor in order to help them turn over a new leaf. Among those persons who have committed serious Four Unclean mistakes, some are no longer cadres or party members. These persons may still, however, be allowed to serve as commune members, to work diligently. Of the landlords, rich peasants, counter-revolutionaries and other bad elements who have labored honestly and have not done bad deeds for the past decade or more, there are some who have already been labelled. Can these labels be removed? Others have not yet been labelled; can they be excused from again being labelled? These questions should be judged and decided by the masses. XVI. The Four Cleans Movement Must Rest Firmly on Construction Speaking of a single hsien, both during and after the Four Cleans movement the work of training a party leadership nucleus must be gradually done. All instruments of the
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

246

Decision of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party

proletarian dictatorship must gradually be grasped in the hands of reliable people. A socialist hsien must gradually be solidly built up in order to enable the work of production, construction, science, culture, education, health and sanitation, public safety and the peoples militia to make progress. Production and construction in each commune and brigade throughout the country will be like a great fortress through upholding the policy of relying on ones own efforts. XVII. The Size of Production Teams During the process of the Four Cleans movement, after thorough discussion by the poor and lower-middle peasants, and after having been decided by the masses, production teams may carry out adjustment or organizational reform. Is a figure of about thirty households per team reasonable? If people live in relatively tight concentrations, the figure of thirty households may be exceeded. If people are relatively widely dispersed, less than thirty may be appropriate. These matters should not be decided from above. XVIII. The Tenure of Office of Basic-Level Cadres In accordance with the 60 articles, we should set a time to carry out democratic elections. Terms of office for reelection, or reappointment should in general be limited to four years. Cadres who are corrupt, who have committed serious mistakes, or who are unable to perform their duties well, may be recalled at any time. XIX. The Question of Supervision Cadres must be supervised both from above and from below. The most important supervision is that which comes from the masses. During the Four Cleans movement, cadres and masses should explore effective supervisory and political work systems. The authority of supervisory organs must be greater than that of the administrative organs of the same level. XX. Four Great Democracies All communes and brigades must learn from the Peoples Liberation Army and carry out political democracy, democracy in production, democracy in financial affairs, and military democracy. XXI. Work Attitudes All talkgood, bad, correct, and incorrectmust be listened to. It is particularly dissent that we must patiently listen to. We must let people fully express themselves.
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

XXII. Methods of Thought We must strive to avoid one-sidedness and partialness. Everything must be analyzed, no matter what it is. To view everything as absolute, motionless, isolated and unchanging is metaphysical. To spend ones time cataloguing great piles of superficial phenomena, or compiling great quantities of rules and regulations is scholasticism, which renders people unable to receive the necessary leadership. We must be proponents of dialectical materialism; we must oppose metaphysics and scholasticism. XXIII. Scope The various points raised above should, in principle, be applied also to the Four Cleans movement in the cities.

DECISION OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY CONCERNING THE GREAT PROLETARIAN CULTURAL REVOLUTION
INTRODUCTION

The Sixteen Points was a Maoist document adopted on August 8, 1966 by a somewhat irregular meeting of the Central Committee packed with Maos supporters. It set out what the goals of the Cultural Revolution should be and identified the enemy as the representatives of the bourgeoisie who had wormed their way into the Party and were taking the capitalist road. The document suggested that there were capitalist roaders at the highest levels of the partyand was thus to become the basis for the later persecution of top leaders such as Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping. The Sixteen Points urged the free mobilization of the masses to weed such people out and to destroy the four olds (old ideas, culture, customs and habits) which the exploiting classes used to corrupt the masses. Read in political study classes all over China, the document became a charter for the Cultural Revolution. It was recited by the Red Guards when they damaged temples, destroyed statues or raided private houses in their crusade against old things.

1. A NEW STAGE IN THE SOCIALIST REVOLUTION

The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution now unfolding is a great revolution that touches people to their very souls and constitutes a new stage in the development of the socialist revolution in our country, a stage which is both broader and deeper.

247

Decision of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party

At the Tenth Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee of the Party, Comrade Mao Tse-tung said: to overthrow a political power, it is always necessary first of all to create public opinion, to do work in the ideological sphere. This is true for the revolutionary class as well as for the counter-revolutionary class. This thesis of Comrade Mao Tse-tungs has been proved entirely correct in practice. Although the bourgeoisie has been overthrown, it is still trying to use the old ideas, culture, customs and habits of the exploiting classes to corrupt the masses, capture their minds and endeavour to stage a comeback. The proletariat must do the exact opposite: it must meet head-on every challenge of the bourgeoisie in the ideological field and use the new ideas, culture, customs and habits of the proletariat to change the mental outlook of the whole of society. At present, our objective is to struggle against and overthrow those persons in authority who are taking the capitalist road, to criticize and repudiate the reactionary bourgeois academic authorities and the ideology of the bourgeoisie and all other exploiting classes and to transform education, literature and art and all other parts of the superstructure not in correspondence with the socialist economic base, so as to facilitate the consolidation and development of the socialist system.
2. THE MAIN CURRENT AND THE ZIGZAGS

Because the resistance is fairly strong, there will be reversals and even repeated reversals in this struggle. There is no harm in this. It tempers the proletariat and other working people, and especially the younger generation, teaches them lessons and gives them experience, and helps them to understand that the revolutionary road zigzags and does not run smoothly.
3. PUT DARING ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE AND BOLDLY AROUSE THE MASSES

The outcome of this Great Cultural Revolution will be determined by whether or not the Party leadership dares boldly to arouse the masses. Currently, there are four different situations with regard to the leadership being given to the movement of Cultural Revolution by Party organizations at various levels: 1. There is the situation in which the persons in charge of Party organizations stand in the van of the movement and dare to arouse the masses boldly. They put daring above everything else, they are dauntless communist fighters and good pupils of Chairman Mao. They advocate the big-character posters and great debates. They encourage the masses to expose every kind of ghost and monster and also to criticize the shortcomings and errors in the work of the persons in charge. This correct kind of leadership is the result of putting proletarian politics in the forefront and Mao Tse-tungs thought in the lead. 2. In many units, the persons in charge have a very poor understanding of the task of leadership in this great struggle, their leadership is far from being conscientious and effective, and they accordingly find themselves incompetent and in a weak position. They put fear above everything else, stick to outmoded ways and regulations, and are unwilling to break away from conventional practices and move ahead. They have been taken unaware by the new order of things, the revolutionary order of the masses, with the result that their leadership lags behind the situation, lags behind the masses. 3. In some units, the persons in charge, who made mistakes of one kind or another in the past, are even more prone to put fear above everything else, being afraid that the masses will catch them out. Actually, if they make serious self-criticism and accept the criticism of the masses, the Party and the masses will make allowances for their mistakes. But if the persons in charge dont, they will continue to make mistakes and become obstacles to the mass movement.
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

The masses of the workers, peasants, soldiers, revolutionary intellectuals, and revolutionary cadres form the main force in this Great Cultural Revolution. Large numbers of revolutionary young people, previously unknown, have become courageous and daring pathbreakers. They are vigorous in action and intelligent. Through the media of big-character posters and great debates, they argue things out, expose and criticize thoroughly, and launch resolute attacks on the open and hidden representatives of the bourgeoisie. In such a great revolutionary movement, it is hardly avoidable that they should show shortcomings of one kind or another; however, their general revolutionary orientation has been correct from the beginning. This is the main current in the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. It is the general direction along which this revolution continues to advance. Since the Cultural Revolution is a revolution, it inevitably meets with resistance. This resistance comes chiefly from those in authority who have wormed their way into the Party and are taking the capitalist road. It also comes from the force of habits from the old society. At present, this resistance is still fairly strong and stubborn. But after all, the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution is an irresistible general trend. There is abundant evidence that such resistance will be quickly broken down once the masses become fully aroused.

248

Decision of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party

4. Some units are controlled by those who have wormed their way into the Party and are taking the capitalist road. Such persons in authority are extremely afraid of being exposed by the masses and therefore seek every possible pretext to suppress the mass movement. They resort to such tactics as shifting the targets for attack and turning black into white in an attempt to lead the movement astray. When they find themselves very isolated and no longer able to carry on as before, they resort still more to intrigues, stabbing people in the back, spreading rumours, and blurring the distinction between revolution and counter-revolution as much as they can, all for the purpose of attacking the revolutionaries. What the Central Committee of the Party demands of the Party committees at all levels is that they persevere in giving correct leadership, put daring above everything else, boldly arouse the masses, change the state of weakness and incompetence where it exists, encourage those comrades who have made mistakes but are willing to correct them to cast off their mental burdens and join in the struggle, and dismiss from their leading posts all those in authority who are taking the capitalist road and so make possible the recapture of the leadership for the proletarian revolution.
4. LET THE MASSES EDUCATE THEMSELVES IN THE MOVEMENT

is likewise a question of the first importance for the Great Cultural Revolution. Party leadership should be good at discovering the left and developing and strengthening the ranks of the left; it should firmly rely on the revolutionary left. During the movement this is the only way to isolate the most reactionary rightists thoroughly, win over the middle and unite with the great majority so that by the end of the movement we shall achieve the unity of more than 95 per cent of the cadres and more than 95 per cent of the masses. Concentrate all forces to strike at the handful of ultrareactionary bourgeois rightists and counter-revolutionary revisionists, and expose and criticize to the full their crimes against the Party, against socialism and against Mao Tsetungs thought so as to isolate them to the maximum. The main target of the present movement is those within the Party who are in authority and are taking the capitalist road. Care should be taken to distinguish strictly between the anti-Party, anti-socialist rightists and those who support the Party and socialism but have said or done something wrong or have written some bad articles or other works. Care should be taken to distinguish strictly between the reactionary bourgeois scholar despots and authorities on the one hand and people who have the ordinary bourgeois academic ideas on the other.
6. CORRECT HANDLING OF CONTRADICTIONS AMONG THE PEOPLE

In the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, the only method is for the masses to liberate themselves, and any method of doing things in their stead must not be used. Trust the masses, rely on them and respect their initiative. Cast out fear. Dont be afraid of disturbances. Chairman Mao has often told us that revolution cannot be so very refined, so gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. Let the masses educate themselves in this great revolutionary movement and learn to distinguish between right and wrong and between correct and incorrect ways of doing things. Make the fullest use of big-character posters and great debates to argue matters out, so that the masses can clarify the correct views, criticize the wrong views and expose all the ghosts and monsters. In this way the masses will be able to raise their political consciousness in the course of the struggle, enhance their abilities and talents, distinguish right from wrong and draw a clear line between ourselves and the enemy.
5. FIRMLY APPLY THE CLASS LINE OF THE PARTY

Who are our enemies? Who are our friends? This is a question of the first importance for the revolution and it
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

A strict distinction must be made between the two different types of contradictions: those among the people and those between ourselves and the enemy. Contradictions among the people must not be made into contradictions between ourselves and the enemy; nor must contradictions between ourselves and the enemy be regarded as contradictions among the people. It is normal for the masses to hold different views. Contention between different views is unavoidable, necessary and beneficial. In the course of normal and full debate, the masses will affirm what is right, correct what is wrong and gradually reach unanimity. The method to be used in debates is to present the facts, reason things out, and persuade through reasoning. Any method of forcing a minority holding different views to submit is impermissible. The minority should be protected, because sometimes the truth is with the minority. Even if the minority is wrong, they should still be allowed to argue their case and reserve their views. When there is a debate, it should be conducted by reasoning, not by coercion or force.

249

Decision of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party

In the course of debate, every revolutionary should be good at thinking things out for himself and should develop the communist spirit of daring to think, daring to speak and daring to act. On the premise that they have the same general orientation, revolutionary comrades should, for the sake of strengthening unity, avoid endless debate over side issues.
7. BE ON GUARD AGAINST THOSE WHO BRAND THE REVOLUTIONARY MASSES AS COUNTER-REVOLUTIONARIES

4. the small number of anti-Party, anti-socialist rightists. In ordinary situations, the first two categories (good and comparatively good) are the great majority. The anti-Party, anti-socialist rightists must be fully exposed, refuted, overthrown and completely discredited and their influence eliminated. At the same time, they should be given a chance to turn over a new leaf.
9. CULTURAL REVOLUTION GROUPS, COMMITTEES AND CONGRESSES

In certain schools, units, and work teams of the Cultural Revolution, some of the persons in charge have organized counter-attacks against the masses who put up bigcharacter posters criticizing them. These people have even advanced such slogans as: opposition to the leaders of a unit or a work team means opposition to the Central Committee of the Party, means opposition to the Party and socialism, means counter-revolution. In this way it is inevitable that their blows will fall on some really revolutionary activists. This is an error on matters of orientation, an error of line, and is absolutely impermissible. A number of persons who suffer from serious ideological errors, and particularly some of the anti-Party and anti-socialist rightists, are taking advantage of certain shortcomings and mistakes in the mass movement to spread rumours and gossip, and engage in agitation, deliberately branding some of the masses as counterrevolutionaries. It is necessary to beware of such pickpockets and expose their tricks in good time. In the course of the movement, with the exception of cases of active counter-revolutionaries where there is clear evidence of crimes such as murder, arson, poisoning, sabotage or theft of state secrets, which should be handled in accordance with the law, no measures should be taken against students at universities, colleges, middle schools and primary schools because of problems that arise in the movement. To prevent the struggle from being diverted from its main target, it is not allowed, under whatever pretext, to incite the masses or the students to struggle against each other. Even proven rightists should be dealt with on the merits of each case at a later stage of the movement.
8. THE QUESTION OF CADRES

The cadres fall roughly into the following four categories: 1. good; 2. comparatively good; 3. those who have made serious mistakes but have not become anti-Party, anti-socialist rightists;

Many new things have begun to emerge in the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. The Cultural Revolutionary groups, committees and other organizational forms created by the masses in many schools and units are something new and of great historic importance. These Cultural Revolutionary groups, committees and congresses are excellent new forms of organization whereby the masses educate themselves under the leadership of the Communist Party. They are an excellent bridge to keep our Party in close contact with the masses. They are organs of power of the proletarian Cultural Revolution. The struggle of the proletariat against the old ideas, culture, customs and habits left over by all the exploiting classes over thousands of years will necessarily take a very, very long time. Therefore, the Cultural Revolutionary groups, committees and congresses should not be temporary organizations but permanent, standing mass organizations. They are suitable not only for colleges, schools and government and other organizations, but generally also for factories, mines, other enterprises, urban districts and villages. It is necessary to institute a system of general elections, like that of the Paris Commune, for electing members to the Cultural Revolutionary groups and committees and delegates to the Cultural Revolutionary congresses. The lists of candidates should be put forward by the revolutionary masses after full discussion, and the elections should be held after the masses have discussed the lists over and over again. The masses are entitled at any time to criticize members of the Cultural Revolutionary groups and committees and delegates elected to the Cultural Revolutionary congresses. If these members or delegates prove incompetent, they can be replaced through election or recalled by the masses after discussion. The Cultural Revolutionary groups, committees and congresses in colleges and schools should consist mainly of representatives of the revolutionary students. At the same time, they should have a certain number of representatives of the revolutionary teaching and administrative staff and workers.

10. EDUCATIONAL REFORM

In the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution a most important task is to transform the old educational system and the old principles and methods of teaching. In this Great Cultural Revolution, the phenomenon of our schools being dominated by bourgeois intellectuals must be completely changed. In every kind of school we must apply thoroughly the policy advanced by Comrade Mao Tse-tung of education serving proletarian politics and education being combined with productive labour, so as to enable those receiving an education to develop morally, intellectually and physically and to become labourers with socialist consciousness and culture. The period of schooling should be shortened. Courses should be fewer and better. The teaching material should be thoroughly transformed, in some cases beginning with simplifying complicated material. While their main task is to study, students should also learn other things. That is to say, in addition to their studies they should also learn industrial work, farming and military affairs, and take part in the struggles of the Cultural Revolution to criticize the bourgeoisie as these struggles occur.
11. THE QUESTION OF CRITICIZING BY NAME IN THE PRESS

those scientists and scientific and technical personnel who have made contributions. Efforts should be made to help them gradually transform their world outlook and their style of work.
13. THE QUESTION OF ARRANGEMENTS FOR INTEGRATION WITH THE SOCIALIST EDUCATION MOVEMENT IN CITY AND COUNTRYSIDE

In the course of the mass movement of the Cultural Revolution, the criticism of bourgeois and feudal ideology should be well combined with the dissemination of the proletarian world outlook and of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Tse-tungs thought. Criticism should be organized of typical bourgeois representatives who have wormed their way into the Party and typical reactionary bourgeois academic authorities, and this should include criticism of various kinds of reactionary views in philosophy, history, political economy and education, in works and theories of literature and art, in theories of natural science, and in other fields. Criticism of anyone by name in the press should be decided after discussion by the Party committee at the same level, and in some cases submitted to the Party committee at a higher level for approval.
12. POLICY TOWARDS SCIENTISTS, TECHNICIANS AND ORDINARY MEMBERS OF WORKING STAFFS

The cultural and educational units and leading organs of the Party and government in the large and medium cities are the points of concentration of the present proletarian Cultural Revolution. The Great Cultural Revolution has enriched the socialist education movement in both city and countryside and raised it to a higher level. Efforts should be made to conduct these two movements in close combination. Arrangements to this effect may be made by various regions and departments in the light of the specific conditions. The socialist education movement now going on in the countryside and in enterprises in the cities should not be upset where the original arrangements are appropriate and the movement is going well, but should continue in accordance with the original arrangements. However, the questions that are arising in the present Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution should be put to the masses for discussion at the proper time, so as to further foster vigorously proletarian ideology and eradicate bourgeois ideology. In some places, the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution is being used as the focus in order to add momentum to the socialist education movement and clean things up in the fields of politics, ideology, organization and economy. This may be done where the local Party committee thinks it appropriate.
14. TAKE FIRM HOLD OF THE REVOLUTION AND STIMULATE PRODUCTION

As regards scientists, technicians and ordinary members of working staffs, as long as they are patriotic, work energetically, are not against the Party and socialism, and maintain no illicit relations with any foreign country, we should in the present movement continue to apply the policy of unity, criticism, unity. Special care should be taken of
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

The aim of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution is to revolutionize peoples ideology and as a consequence to achieve greater, faster, better and more economical results in all fields of work. If the masses are fully aroused and proper arrangements are made, it is possible to carry on both the Cultural Revolution and production without one hampering the other, while guaranteeing high quality in all our work. The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution is a powerful motive force for the development of the social productive forces in our country. Any idea of counterposing the Great Cultural Revolution to the development of production is incorrect.

Preface to Quotations by Chairman Mao

15. THE ARMED FORCES

INTRODUCTION

In the armed forces, the cultural revolution and the socialist education movement should be carried out in accordance with the instructions of the Military Commission of the Central Committee of the Party and the General Political Department of the Peoples Liberation Army.
16. MAO TSE-TUNGS THOUGHT IS THE GUIDE FOR ACTION IN THE GREAT PROLETARIAN CULTURAL REVOLUTION

In the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, it is imperative to hold aloft the great red banner of Mao Tse-tungs thought and put proletarian politics in command. The movement for the creative study and application of Chairman Mao Tse-tungs works should be carried forward among the masses of the workers, peasants and soldiers, the cadres and the intellectuals, and Mao Tse-tungs thought should be taken as the guide to action in the Cultural Revolution. In this complex Great Cultural Revolution, Party committees at all levels must study and apply Chairman Maos works all the more conscientiously and in a creative way. In particular, they must study over and over again Chairman Maos writings on the Cultural Revolution and on the Partys methods of leadership, such as On New Democracy, Talks at the Yenan Forum on Literature and Art, On the Correct Handling of Contradictions Among the People, Speech at the Chinese Communist Partys National Conference on Propaganda Work, Some Questions Concerning Methods of Leadership and Methods of Work of Party Committees. Party committees at all levels must abide by the directions given by Chairman Mao over the years, namely that they should thoroughly apply the mass line of from the masses, to the masses and that they should be pupils before they become teachers. They should try to avoid being one-sided or narrow. They should foster materialist dialectics and oppose metaphysics and scholasticism. The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution is bound to achieve brilliant victory under the leadership of the Central Committee of the Party headed by Comrade Mao Tse-tung.

The Little Red Book or Quotations from Chairman Mao was first compiled for use in political education in the Peoples Liberation Army and then issued in a second edition for more general use in political education in 1966. During the Cultural Revolution almost every citizen carried a copy. Lin Biao (Lin Piao), Chinas minister of defense and from 1969 Maos designated successor, supplied obsequious introductions for the later editions (1966 and 1967). After Lins mysterious death and disgrace in 1971, people were instructed to rip the introduction out of their copies. Subsequent editions carried no introduction. The size and format of the book was designed for portability in the pocket of a Mao jacket.

Comrade Mao Tse-tung is the greatest Marxist-Leninist of our era. Mao Tse-tungs thought is the application of the universal truths of Marxism-Leninism in the era in which imperialism is heading for collapse and socialism is advancing to victory, in the concrete practice of the Chinese revolution, in the collective struggles of the party and the people; it is Marxism-Leninism creatively developed. Mao Tse-tungs thought is the guiding principle for the Chinese peoples revolution and socialist construction, it is a powerful ideological weapon for opposing imperialism and for opposing revisionism and dogmatism. Comrade Mao Tse-tung has not only established a fixed and immovable political orientation for our army, he has also established the only correct line for the edification of our army. The guiding thought of our party, our partys experience in struggle, and the theories of our party are concentrated in their most general form in Mao Tse-tungs thought. Therefore, the most fundamental task in our armys political and ideological work is at all times to hold high the great red banner of Mao Tse-tungs thought, to arm the minds of all our commanders with it and to persist in using it to command every field of activity. All the comrades in our army should really master Mao Tse-tungs thought; they should all study Chairman Maos writings, follow his teachings, act according to his instructions and be his good fighters. Comrade Lin Piao has instructed us that in order really to master Mao Tse-tungs thought, it is essential to study many of Chairman Maos basic concepts over and over again, and even to memorize important statements and study and apply them repeatedly. Comrade Lin Piao has moreover directed that the Liberation Army Daily should regularly carry quotations from Chairman Mao for cadres and soldiers to study. The experience of the various army corps in their creative study and application of Chairman Maos works in the last few years has proved also that to study selected quotations from Chairman Mao with specific
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

Shanghai Communique0

problems in mind is a good way to learn Mao Tse-tungs thought, a method conducive to quick results. We have compiled Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung by gathering together the quotations already published in Liberation Army Daily and adding some others, in order to help lowerlevel cadres and soldiers learn Mao Tse-tungs thought more effectively; we have also endeavored, in accordance with the principle of selecting brief but essential passages, to ensure that the contents we have selected are adapted to the needs and standard of the lower-level cadres and soldiers. In organizing their study, the various army corps should select passages that are relevant to the situation, their tasks, the current thinking of their personnel, and the state of their work. This volume of quotations was published in May 1964. In reprinting it this time, we have made a few additions and deletions and partial changes in arrangement. In conformity with Comrade Lin Piaos instructions, we must issue Selected Readings from Chairman Mao and Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung to every soldier in the whole army, just as we issue weapons. It is our hope that all comrades will learn earnestly, bring about an even greater and broader high tide in the creative study and application of Chairman Maos works in the whole army, and struggle to speed up the revolutionarization, modernization and edification of our army. The General Political Department August 1, 1965
FOREWORD TO THE SECOND CHINESE EDITION

Comrade Mao Tse-tung is the greatest Marxist-Leninist of our era. He has inherited, defended and developed Marxism-Leninism with genius, creatively and comprehensively and has brought it to a higher and completely new stage. Mao Tse-tungs thought is Marxism-Leninism of the era in which imperialism is heading for total collapse and socialism is advancing to world-wide victory. It is a powerful ideological weapon for opposing imperialism and for opposing revisionism and dogmatism. Mao Tse-tungs thought is the guiding principle for all the work of the Party, the army and the country. Therefore, the most fundamental task in our Partys political and ideological work is at all times to hold high the great red banner of Mao Tse-tungs thought, to arm the minds of the people throughout the country with it and to persist in using it to command every field of activity. The broad masses of the workers, peasants and soldiers and the broad ranks of the revolutionary cadres and the intellectuals should really master Mao Tse-tungs thought; they should all study Chairman Maos writings, follow his teachings, act according to his instructions and be his good fighters.
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

In studying the works of Chairman Mao, one should have specific problems in mind, study and apply his works in a creative way, combine study with application, first study what must be urgently applied so as to get quick results, and strive hard to apply what one is studying. In order really to master Mao Tse-tungs thought, it is essential to study many of Chairman Maos basic concepts over and over again, and it is best to memorize important statements and study and apply them repeatedly. The newspapers should regularly carry quotations from Chairman Mao relevant to current issues for readers to study and apply. The experience of the broad masses in their creative study and application of Chairman Maos works in the last few years has proved that to study selected quotations from Chairman Mao with specific problems in mind is a good way to learn Mao Tsetungs thought, a method conducive to quick results. We have compiled Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung in order to help the broad masses learn Mao Tse-tungs thought more effectively. In organizing their study, units should select passages that are relevant to the situation, their tasks, the current thinking of their personnel, and the state of their work. In our great motherland, a new era is emerging in which the workers, peasants and soldiers are grasping Marxism-Leninism, Mao Tse-tungs thought. Once Mao Tsetungs thought is grasped by the broad masses, it becomes an inexhaustible source of strength and a spiritual atom bomb of infinite power. The large-scale publication of Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung is a vital measure for enabling the broad masses to grasp Mao Tse-tungs thought and for promoting the revolutionization of our peoples thinking. It is our hope that all comrades will learn earnestly and diligently, bring about a new nation-wide high tide in the creative study and application of Chairman Maos works and, under the great red banner of Mao Tsetungs thought, strive to build our country into a great socialist state with modern agriculture, modern industry, modern science and culture and modern national defence!

SHANGHAI COMMUNIQUE 0 (FIRST JOINT COMMUNIQUE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CHINA)
INTRODUCTION

After the establishment of the Peoples Republic of China in 1949, the United States continued to recognize the Guomindang government on Taiwan as the true government of China. When

Shanghai Communique0

the United States began to consider improving relations with China the status of Taiwan and the insistence in both Beijing and Taipei that there was only one China were difficult issues. The United States withdrew its opposition to Chinas admission to the UN in 1971 and Taiwan lost its UN seat. In the following excerpt of the text known as the Shanghai Communique0 , issued in February 1972 at the time of President Nixons visit to China, the United States accepts in a careful formula that Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait maintain that there is only one China and hopes for a peaceful settlement of the issue.

JOINT COMMUNIQUE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CHINA

February 28, 1972 1. President Richard Nixon of the United States of America visited the Peoples Republic of China at the invitation of Premier Chou En-lai of the Peoples Republic of China from February 21 to February 28, 1972. Accompanying the President were Mrs. Nixon, U.S. Secretary of State William Rogers, Assistant to the President Dr. Henry Kissinger, and other American officials. . . . 5. The leaders of the Peoples Republic of China and the United States of America found it beneficial to have this opportunity, after so many years without contact, to present candidly to one another their views on a variety of issues. They reviewed the international situation in which important changes and great upheavals are taking place and expounded their respective positions and attitudes. 6. The Chinese side stated: Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance. Countries want independence, nations want liberation and the people want revolution-this has become the irresistible trend of history. All nations, big or small, should be equal: big nations should not bully the small and strong nations should not bully the weak. China will never be a superpower and it opposes hegemony and power politics of any kind. The Chinese side stated that it firmly supports the struggles of all the oppressed people and nations for freedom and liberation and that the people of all countries have the right to choose their social systems according their own wishes and the right to safeguard the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of their own countries and oppose foreign aggression, interference, control and subversion. All foreign troops should be withdrawn to their own countries. The Chinese side expressed its firm support to the peoples of Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia in their

efforts for the attainment of their goal and its firm support to the seven-point proposal of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Viet Nam and the elaboration of February this year on the two key problems in the proposal, and to the Joint Declaration of the Summit Conference of the Indochinese Peoples. It firmly supports the eight-point program for the peaceful unification of Korea put forward by the Government of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea on April 12, 1971, and the stand for the abolition of the U.N. Commission for the Unification and Rehabilitation of Korea. It firmly opposes the revival and outward expansion of Japanese militarism and firmly supports the Japanese peoples desire to build an independent, democratic, peaceful and neutral Japan. It firmly maintains that India and Pakistan should, in accordance with the United Nations resolutions on the Indo-Pakistan question, immediately withdraw all their forces to their respective territories and to their own sides of the ceasefire line in Jammu and Kashmir and firmly supports the Pakistan Government and people in their struggle to preserve their independence and sovereignty and the people of Jammu and Kashmir in their struggle for the right of self-determination. 7. The U.S. side stated: Peace in Asia and peace in the world requires efforts both to reduce immediate tensions and to eliminate the basic causes of conflict. The United States will work for a just and secure peace: just, because it fulfills the aspirations of peoples and nations for freedom and progress; secure, because it removes the danger of foreign aggression. The United States supports individual freedom and social progress for all the peoples of the world, free of outside pressure or intervention. The United States believes that the effort to reduce tensions is served by improving communication between countries that have different ideologies so as to lessen the risks of confrontation through accident, miscalculation or misunderstanding. Countries should treat each other with mutual respect and be willing to compete peacefully, letting performance be the ultimate judge. No country should claim infallibility and each country should be prepared to reexamine its own attitudes for the common good. The United States stressed that the peoples of Indochina should be allowed to determine their destiny without outside intervention; its constant primary objective has been a negotiated solution; the eight-point proposal put forward by the Republic of Viet Nam and the United States on January 27, 1972 represents a basis for the attainment of that objective; in the absence of a negotiated settlement the United States envisages the ultimate withdrawal of all U.S. forces from the region consistent with the aim of self-determination for each country of Indochina. The United States will maintain its close ties with and support for the Republic of Korea;

Shanghai Communique0

the United States will support efforts of the Republic of Korea to seek a relaxation of tension and increased communication in the Korean peninsula. The United States places the highest value on its friendly relations with Japan; it will continue to develop the existing close bonds. Consistent with the United Nations Security Council Resolution of December 21, 1971, the United States favors the continuation of the ceasefire between India and Pakistan and the withdrawal of all military forces to within their own territories and to their own sides of the ceasefire line in Jammu and Kashmir; the United States supports the right of the peoples of South Asia to shape their own future in peace, free of military threat, and without having the area become the subject of great power rivalry. 8. There are essential differences between China and the United States in their social systems and foreign policies. However, the two sides agreed that countries, regardless of their social systems, should conduct their relations on the principles of respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states, non-aggression against other states, non-interference in the internal affairs of other states, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence. International disputes should be settled on this basis, without resorting to the use or threat of force. The United States and the Peoples Republic of China are prepared to apply these principles to their mutual relations. 9. With these principles of international relations in mind the two sides stated that: progress toward the normalization of relations between China and the United States is in the interests of all countries both wish to reduce the danger of international military conflict neither should seek hegemony in the Asia-Pacific region and each is opposed to efforts by any other country or group of countries to establish such hegemony neither is prepared to negotiate on behalf of any third party or to enter into agreements or understandings with the other directed at other states. 10. Both sides are of the view that it would be against the interests of the peoples of the world for any major country to collude with another against other countries, or for major countries to divide up the world into spheres of interest. 11. The two sides reviewed the long-standing serious disputes between China and the United States. The Chinese side reaffirmed its position: the Taiwan question is the crucial question obstructing the normalization of relations between China and the United States; the Government of the Peoples Republic of China is the sole
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

legal government of China; Taiwan is a province of China which has long been returned to the motherland; the liberation of Taiwan is Chinas internal affair in which no other country has the right to interfere; and all U.S. forces and military installations must be withdrawn from Taiwan. The Chinese Government firmly opposes any activities which aim at the creation of one China, one Taiwan, one China, two governments, two Chinas, an independent Taiwan or advocate that the status of Taiwan remains to be determined. 12. The U.S. side declared: The United States acknowledges that all Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China. The United States Government does not challenge that position. It reaffirms its interest in a peaceful settlement of the Taiwan question by the Chinese themselves. With this prospect in mind, it affirms the ultimate objective of the withdrawal of all U.S. forces and military installations from Taiwan. In the meantime, it will progressively reduce its forces and military installations on Taiwan as the tension in the area diminishes. The two sides agreed that it is desirable to broaden the understanding between the two peoples. To this end, they discussed specific areas in such fields as science, technology, culture, sports and journalism, in which people-to-people contacts and exchanges would be mutually beneficial. Each side undertakes to facilitate the further development of such contacts and exchanges. 13. Both sides view bilateral trade as another area from which mutual benefit can be derived, and agreed that economic relations based on equality and mutual benefit are in the interest of the peoples of the two countries. They agree to facilitate the progressive development of trade between their two countries. 14. The two sides agreed that they will stay in contact through various channels, including the sending of a senior U.S. representative to Peking from time to time for concrete consultations to further the normalization of relations between the two countries and continue to exchange views on issues of common interest. 15. The two sides expressed the hope that the gains achieved during this visit would open up new prospects for the relations between the two countries. They believe that the normalization of relations between the two countries is not only in the interest of the Chinese and American peoples but also contributes to the relaxation of tension in Asia and the world. . . . President Nixon, Mrs. Nixon and the American party expressed their appreciation for the gracious hospitality shown them by the Government and people of the Peoples Republic of China.

possibility remains for the emergence within the Party (and in society as well) of representatives of the bourgeoisie who will try to turn their hope for restoration into attempt at restoration. Therefore, we must heighten our vigilance and guard against and smash any plot by the reactionaries at home and abroad, and on no account must we slacken our vigilance. . . .

INTRODUCTION

The information that Chairman Maos designated successor and close comrade in arms had been killed in a plane crash after organizing a failed attempt to assassinate Mao shocked the Chinese public. Very little explanation was offered at the time of the announcement in late 1971, but from 1972 there were attempts to show that Lin Biao had always been a political swindler. Yao Wenyuan, the author of this 1975 attack on Lin, himself received a twentyyear prison sentence as a member of the Gang of Four after Maos death in 1976.

COMMUNIQUE OF THE THIRD PLENARY SESSION OF THE 11TH CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA
INTRODUCTION

It is fairly clear that the Lin Piao anti-Party clique represented the interests of the overthrown landlord and capitalist classes and the aspirations of the overthrown reactionaries to topple the dictatorship of the proletariat and restore the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. The Lin Piao anti-Party clique opposed the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and had inveterate hatred for the socialist system under the dictatorship of the proletariat in our country, slandering it as feudal autocracy and cursing it as Chin Shih Huang of the contemporary era. They wanted the landlords, rich peasants, counterrevolutionaries, bad elements and Rightists to achieve genuine liberation politically and economically, i.e., politically and economically they wanted to turn the dictatorship of the proletariat into a dictatorship of the landlord and comprador-capitalist classes and the socialist system into the capitalist system. As an agent in the Party, an agent of the bourgeoisie working hard for a restoration, the Lin Piao anti-Party clique was wild in its attack on the Party and the dictatorship of the proletariat, so much so that it set up an organization of secret agents and plotted a counterrevolutionary armed coup detat. Such frenzy is a reflection of the fact that the reactionaries who have lost political power and the means of production inevitably will resort to every means to recapture the lost positions of the exploiting classes. We have seen how Lin Piao, after his political and ideological bankruptcy, tried to eat up the proletariat by staking everything on a single cast as a desperate gambler would do, and how he finally betrayed the country and fled to defect to the enemy; despite the very patient education, waiting and efforts to save him by Chairman Mao and the Party Central Committee, his counter-revolutionary nature did not change in the least. All this reflects the life-anddeath struggle between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, the two major antagonistic classes, under the dictatorship of the proletariat, a struggle that will go on for a long period. As long as the overthrown reactionary classes still exist, the

The Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee approved the first measures in the program of economic liberalization and opening, which transformed the Chinese economy in the final decades of the twentieth century. The language of the document, dated December 22, 1978, is cautious. It pays tribute to Mao Zedong and claims that the policy decision is that of Hua Guofeng, still the Communist Party Chairman at this juncture, but the Plenum in fact represented a triumph for policies associated with Chen Yun and Deng Xiaoping, proponents of economic reform.

In the early years after the founding of the Peoples Republic, especially after the socialist transformation was in the main completed, Comrade Mao Tsetung instructed the whole Party time and again to shift the focus of our work to the field of the economy and technical revolution. Under the leadership of Comrade Mao Tsetung and Comrade Chou En-lai, our Party did a great deal for socialist modernization and scored important achievements. But the work was later interrupted and sabotaged by Lin Piao and the gang of four. Besides, we had some shortcomings and mistakes in our leading work because we lacked experience in socialist construction, and this also hampered the transition in the focus of our Partys work. Since the nationwide mass movement to expose and criticize Lin Piao and the gang of four has fundamentally come to a successful conclusion, though in a small number of places and departments the movement is less developed, still needs some time to catch up and so cannot end simultaneously, on the whole there is every condition needed for that transition. Therefore the plenary session unanimously endorsed the policy decision put forward by Comrade Hua Kuo-feng on behalf of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee that, to meet the developments at home and abroad, now is an appropriate time to take the decision to expose the large-scale nationwide mass movement to expose and criticize Lin Piao and the gang of four and to shift the emphasis of our Partys work

The Fifth Modernization: Democracy

and the attention of the people of the whole country to socialist modernization. This is of major significance for fulfillment of the three-year and eight-year programmes for the development of the national economy and the outline for 23 years, for the modernization of science and technology and for the consolidation of the dictatorship of the proletariat in our country. The general task put forward by our Party for the new period reflects the demands of history and the peoples aspirations and represents their fundamental interests. Whether or not we can carry this general task to completion, speed socialist modernization and on the basis of rapid growth in production improve the peoples living standards significantly and strengthen national defencethis is a major issue which is of paramount concern to all our people and of great significance to the cause of world peace and progress. Carrying out the four modernizations requires great growth in the productive forces, which in turn requires diverse changes in those aspects of the relations of production and the superstructure not in harmony with the growth of the productive forces, and requires changes in all methods of management, actions and thinking which stand in the way of such growth. Socialist modernization is therefore a profound and extensive revolution. There is still in our country today a small handful of counter-revolutionary elements and criminals who hate our socialist modernization and try to undermine it. We must not relax our class struggle against them, nor can we weaken the dictatorship of the proletariat. But as Comrade Mao Tsetung pointed out, the large-scale turbulent class struggles of a mass character have come to an end. Class struggle in socialist society should be carried out on the principle of strictly differentiating the two different types of contradictions and correctly handling them in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Constitution and the law. It is impermissible to confuse the two different types of contradictions and damage the political stability and unity required for socialist modernization. The plenary session calls on the whole Party, the whole army and the people of all our nationalities to work with one heart and one mind, enhance political stability and unity, mobilize themselves immediately to go all out, pool their wisdom and efforts and carry out the new Long March to make China a modern, powerful socialist country before the end of the century.

INTRODUCTION

The four modernizations of agriculture, industry, technology and defense were first promoted by Zhou Enlai but later used by Deng Xiaoping as a slogan for the reform era. The famous article reprinted below first appeared as a signed poster on December 5, 1978, on Democracy Wall, the Beijing wall where activists publicized their ideas and conducted debates. In the article Wei Jingsheng insists that democracy is a fifth modernization, necessary for Chinas development. The text was subsequently cited at Weis trial at which he was sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment.

Newspapers and television no longer assail us with deafening praise for the dictatorship of the proletariat and class struggle. This is in part because these were once the magical incantations of the now-overthrown Gang of Four. But more importantly, its because the masses have grown absolutely sick of hearing these worn-out phrases and will never be duped by them again. The laws of history tell us that only when the old is gone can the new take its place. Now that the old is gone, the people have been anxiously waiting to see what the new will bring; gods never betray the faithful, they thought. But what theyve long awaited is none other than a grandiose promise called the Four Modernizations. Our wise leader, Chairman Hua Guofeng, along with Vice Chairman Deng Xiaoping, whom many consider even wiser and grander, have finally crushed the Gang of Four. There is now the possibility that those brave souls whose blood flowed over Tiananmen Square might have their dreams of democracy and prosperity realized. After the arrest of the Gang of Four, the people eagerly hoped that Vice Chairman Deng Xiaoping, who might possibly restore capitalism, would rise up again like a magnificent banner. Finally, he did regain his position in the central leadership. How excited the people felt! How inspired they were! But alas, the old political system so despised by the people remains unchanged, and the democracy and freedom they longed for has not even been mentioned. Their living conditions remain the same and increased wages have far from kept up with the rapid rise in prices. There was talk of restoring capitalism and instituting a bonus system, but after careful consideration, it was determined that such measures would simply be invisible whips of the type once cursed by our Marxist forefathers as the greatest form of worker exploitation. There are reports confirming that deceptive policies will no longer be implemented and that the people will no longer follow a great helmsman. Instead, wise leaders will lead them to catch up with and surpass the most advanced nations of the world such as Britain, the United States, Japan, and Yugoslavia(!). Its no longer fashionable to take part in the revolution, a college education will take

you further in the world. Cries of class struggle no longer need fill peoples ears, the Four Modernizations will take care of everything. Of course, in order to realize this beautiful dream, we must still follow the guiding central spirit passed down from the April Fifth Society as well as the guidance and direction of a unified leadership There are two ancient Chinese sayings that go: Sketch cakes to allay your hunger and Think of plums to quench your thirst. People of ancient times had such wit and sarcasm, and theyve even been said to have progressed since then. So now no one would ever actually consider doing such ridiculous things, would they? Well, not only did some consider doing such things, they actually did. For decades, the Chinese people faithfully followed the Great Helmsman while he used Communist idealism to sketch cakes and offered up the Great Leap Forward and the Three Red Banners as thirst-quenching plums. People tightened their belts and forged ahead undaunted. Thirty years flew by and the experience taught them one lesson: For three decades weve been acting like monkeys grabbing for the moons reflection in a lakeno wonder weve come up empty-handed! Therefore, when Vice Chairman Deng called for practicality, the peoples enthusiasm surged forth like a rolling tide and swept him back into power. Everyone expected him to employ the maxim Seek truth from facts to review the past and lead the people toward a promising future. But once again there are people warning us that Marxist-Leninist-Mao Zedong Thought is the foundation of all things, even speech; that Chairman Mao was the great savior of the people; and that without the Communist Party, there would be no new China actually means without Chairman Mao, there would be no new China. Official notices will clear things up for anyone who refuses to believe this. There are even those who seek to remind us that Chinese people need a dictator; if he is even more dictatorial than the emperors of old, this only proves his greatness. The Chinese people dont need democracy, they say, for unless it is a democracy under centralized leadership, it isnt worth a cent. Whether you believe it or not is up to you, but there are plenty of empty prison cells waiting for you if you dont. But now someone has provided us with a way out: Take the Four Modernizations as your guiding principle; forge ahead with stability and unity; and bravely serve the revolution like a faithful old ox and you will reach your paradisethe prosperity of Communism and the Four Modernizations. And these kind-hearted someones have warned us that if we are confused, we must undertake a serious and thorough study of Marxist-Leninist-Mao Zedong Thought! If youre still confused, its because you dont understand, and not understanding only reflects

just how profound the theory is! Dont be disobedient or the leadership of your work unit will be uncompromising! And so on and so on. I urge everyone to stop believing such political swindlers. When we all know that we are going to be tricked, why dont we trust ourselves instead? The Cultural Revolution has tempered us and we are no longer so ignorant. Let us investigate for ourselves what should be done!
I. WHY DEMOCRACY?

People have discussed this question for centuries. And now those who voice their opinions at Democracy Wall have carried out a thorough analysis and shown just how much better democracy is than autocracy. People are the masters of history. Is this fact or merely empty talk? It is both fact and empty talk. It is fact that without the effort and participation of the people there can be no history. No great helmsman or wise leader could exist, let alone any history be created. From this we can see that the slogan should be Without the new Chinese people, there would be no new China, not Without Chairman Mao, there would be no new China. Its understandable that Vice Chairman Deng is grateful to Chairman Mao for saving his life, but why is he so ungrateful to all of those whose outcries propelled him back into power? Is it reasonable for him to say to them: You must not criticize Chairman Mao, because he saved my life? From this we can see that phrases like people are the masters of history are nothing but empty talk. Such words become hollow when people are unable to choose their own destiny by majority will, or when their achievements are credited to others, or when their rights are stripped away and woven into the crowns of others. What kind of masters are these? It would be more appropriate to call them docile slaves. Our history books tell us that the people are the masters and creators of everything, but in reality they are more like faithful servants standing at attention and waiting to be led by leaders who swell like yeasted bread dough. The people should have democracy. When they call for democracy they are demanding nothing more than that which is inherently theirs. Whoever refuses to return democracy to them is a shameless thief more despicable than any capitalist who robs the workers of the wealth earned with their own sweat and blood. Do the people have democracy now? No! Dont the people want to be the masters of their own destiny? Of course they do! That is precisely why the Communist Party defeated the Nationalists. But what became of all their promises once victory was achieved? Once they began championing a dictatorship of the proletariat instead of a peoples democratic dictatorship, even the democracy still enjoyed by a tenth of a millionth of the population was displaced by the individual dictatorship of the great

leader. Even Peng Dehuai was denounced for following the orders of the great leader and airing complaints. A new promise was made: If a leader is great, then blind faith in him will bring greater happiness to the people than democracy. Half forced, half willingly, people have continued to believe in this promise right up until the present. But are they any happier? No. They are more miserable and more backward. Why, then, are things the way they are? This is the first question the people must consider. What should be done now? This is the second. At present, there is absolutely no need to assess the achievements and failures of Mao Zedong. When Mao himself suggested this be done, it was only out of self-defense. Instead, the people should be asking themselves whether without the dictatorship of Mao Zedong China would have fallen into its current state. Are the Chinese people stupid? Are they lazy? Do they not want to live more prosperous lives? Or are they unruly by nature? Quite the opposite. How, then, did things get the way they are? The answer is obvious: The Chinese people should not have followed the path they did. Why, then, did they follow this path? Was it because a self-glorifying dictator led them down it? The truth is, even if people had refused to follow this path, they would still have been crushed by the dictatorship. And when no one could hear any other alternative, the people felt that this was the one and only path to take. Is this not deceit? Is there any merit in this at all? What path was taken? Its often called the socialist road. According to the definition formulated by our Marxist forefathers, the premise of socialism is that the masses, or what is called the proletariat, are the masters of everything. But let me ask the Chinese workers and peasants: Aside from the few coins you receive each month to feed yourselves with, what are you the masters of? And what do you master? Its pitiful to say it, but the truth is, you are mastered by others, even down to your own marriages! Socialism guarantees that the producer will receive the surplus fruits of his labor after he has fulfilled his duty to society. But is there any limit to the amount of this duty? Are you getting anything more than the meager wage necessary to sustain your productive labor? Can socialism guarantee the right of every citizen to receive an education, to make full use of his abilities, and so forth? We can observe none of these things in our daily lives. We see only the dictatorship of the proletariat and a variation of Russian autocracythat is, Chinese-style socialist autocracy. Is this the kind of socialist road the people need? Does dictatorship, therefore, amount to the peoples happiness? Is this the socialist road Marx described and the people aspired to? Obviously not. Then what is it? As ridiculous as it may sound, it actually resembles the feudal socialism referred to in The Communist
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

Manifesto as feudal monarchy under a socialist cloak. Its said that the Soviet Union has been elevated to socialist imperialism from socialist feudalism. Must the Chinese people follow the same path? People have suggested that we settle all our old accounts by blaming them all on the fascist dictatorship of feudal socialism. I completely agree with this because there is no question of right or wrong. In passing, I would like to point out that the correct name for the notorious German fascism is national socialism. It too had an autocratic tyrant; it too ordered people to tighten their belts; and it too deceived the people with the words: You are a great people. Most importantly, it too stamped out even the most rudimentary forms of democracy, for it fully recognized that democracy was its most formidable and irrepressible enemy. On this basis, Stalin and Hitler shook hands and signed the German-Soviet Pact whereby a socialist state and a national-socialist state toasted the partition of Poland while the peoples of both countries suffered slavery and poverty. Must we go on suffering from this kind of slavery and poverty? If not, then democracy is our only choice. In other words, if we want to modernize our economy, sciences, military, and other areas, then we must first modernize our people and our society.
II. THE FIFTH MODERNIZATION: WHAT KIND OF DEMOCRACY DO WE WANT?

I would like to ask everyone: What do we want modernization for? Many might still feel that the times depicted in Dream of the Red Chamber were just fine. One could do some reading, dabble in poetry, cavort with women, and be fed and clothed effortlessly. These days such a person might even go to see foreign movies as well what a godlike existence! Its not bad to live like a god, but such a lifestyle remains irrelevant to ordinary people. They want simply to have the chance to enjoy a happy life, or at least one that is no less than what people enjoy in other countries. A prosperity that all members of society can enjoy equally will only be achieved by raising the level of social productivity. This is quite obvious, but some people have completely overlooked one important point: When social productivity increases, will the people be able to enjoy prosperous lives? The problems of allocation, distribution, and exploitation still remain. In the decades since Liberation, people have tightened their belts and worked hard to produce a great deal of wealth. But where has it all gone? Some say its gone to plump up small-scale autocratic regimes like Vietnam, while others say its been used to fatten the new bourgeois elements like Lin Biao and Jiang Qing. Both are correct, but the bottom line is, none of it has trickled down into the hands of the working people of China.

259

The Fifth Modernization: Democracy

If powerful political swindlers, both big and small, have not squandered the wealth themselves, then they have given it to scoundrels in Vietnam and Albania who cherish ideals similar to their own. Shortly before his death, Mao Zedong got upset when his old lady asked him for several thousand yuan, but did anyone ever know him to feel any pain as he threw away tens of billions of yuan earned with the sweat and blood of the Chinese people? And this was all done while the Chinese people were building socialism by tightening their belts and begging on the streets for food. Why, then, cant all those people who keep running to Democracy Wall to praise Mao Zedong open their eyes and see this? Could it be that they are deliberately blind to it? If they genuinely cant see it, I would ask them all to use the time they spend writing wall posters to go over to Beijing or Yongdingmen Train Station, or to any street in the city, and ask those country folk arriving from the provinces whether begging for food is such a rare occurrence where they come from. I can also bet that they arent that willing to give away their snow-white rice to aid friends in the Third World! But does their opinion matter? The sad thing is that in our peoples republic all real power is in the hands of those people who live like gods and have nothing better to do after stuffing their faces than to read novels and write poetry. Are not the people completely justified in seizing power from the hands of such overlords? What is democracy? True democracy means placing all power in the hands of the working people. Are working people unable to manage state power? Yugoslavia has taken this route and proven to us that people have no need for dictators, whether big or small; they can take care of things much better themselves. What is true democracy? It is when the people, acting on their own will, have the right to choose representatives to manage affairs on the peoples behalf and in accordance with the will and interests of the people. This alone can be called democracy. Furthermore, the people must have the power to replace these representatives at any time in order to keep them from abusing their powers to oppress the people. Is this actually possible? The citizens of Europe and the United States enjoy precisely this kind of democracy and can run people like Nixon, de Gaulle, and Tanaka out of office when they wish and can even reinstate them if they so desire. No one can interfere with their democratic rights. In China, however, if a person even comments on the great helmsman or the Great Man peerless in history, Mao Zedong, who is already dead, the mighty prison gates and all kinds of unimaginable misfortunes await him. If we compare the socialist system of centralized democracy with the exploiting class democracy of capitalism, the difference is as clear as night and day.

Will the country sink into chaos and anarchy if the people achieve democracy? On the contrary, have not the scandals exposed in the newspapers recently shown that it is precisely due to an absence of democracy that the dictators, large and small, have caused chaos and anarchy? The maintenance of democratic order is an internal problem that the people themselves must solve. It is not something that the privileged overlords need concern themselves with. Besides, they are not really concerned with democracy for the people, but use this as a pretext to deny the people of their democratic rights. Of course, internal problems cannot be solved overnight but must be constantly addressed as part of a long-term process. Mistakes and shortcomings will be inevitable, but these are for us to worry about. This is infinitely better than facing abusive overlords against whom we have no means of redress. Those who worry that democracy will lead to anarchy and chaos are just like those who, following the overthrow of the Qing dynasty, worried that without an emperor, the country would fall into chaos. Their decision was to patiently suffer oppression because they feared that without the weight of oppression, their spines might completely collapse! To such people, I would like to say, with all due respect: We want to be the masters of our own destiny. We need no gods or emperors and we dont believe in saviors of any kind. We want to be masters of our universe; we do not want to serve as mere tools of dictators with personal ambitions for carrying out modernization. We want to modernize the lives of the people. Democracy, freedom, and happiness for all are our sole objectives in carrying out modernization. Without this Fifth Modernization, all other modernizations are nothing but a new lie. Comrades, I appeal to you: Let us rally together under the banner of democracy. Do not be fooled again by dictators who talk of stability and unity. Fascist totalitarianism can bring us nothing but disaster. Harbor no more illusions; democracy is our only hope. Abandon our democratic rights and we shackle ourselves again. Let us have confidence in our own strength! We are the creators of human history. Banish all self-proclaimed leaders and teachers, for they have already cheated the people of their most valuable rights for decades. I firmly believe that production will flourish more when controlled by the people themselves because the workers will be producing for their own benefit. Life will improve because the workers interests will be the primary goal. Society will be more just because all power will be exercised by the people as a whole through democratic means. I dont believe that all of this will be handed to the people effortlessly by some great savior. I also refuse to believe that China will abandon the goals of democracy, freedom, and happiness because of the many difficulties

The Fifth Modernization: Democracy

it will surely encounter along the way. As long as people clearly identify their goal and realistically assess the obstacles before them, then surely they will trample any pests that might try to bar their way.
III. MARCHING TOWARD MODERNIZATION: DEMOCRACY IN PRACTICE

To achieve modernization, the Chinese people must first put democracy into practice and modernize Chinas social system. Democracy is not merely an inevitable stage of social development as Lenin claimed. In addition to being the result of productive forces and productive relations having developed to a certain stage, democracy is also the very condition that allows for the existence of such development to reach beyond this stage. Without democracy, society will become stagnant and economic growth will face insurmountable obstacles. Judging from history, therefore, a democratic social system is the premise and precondition for all development, or what we can also call modernization. Without this precondition, not only is further development impossible, but even preserving the level of development already attained would be very difficult. The experience of our great nation over the past three decades is the best evidence for this. Why must human history follow a path toward development, or modernization? It is because humans need all of the tangible advantages that development can provide them. These advantages then enable them to achieve their foremost goal in the pursuit of happiness: freedom. Democracy is the greatest freedom ever known to man. Therefore, isnt it quite apparent why the goal of all recent human struggles has been democracy? Why have all the reactionaries in modern history united under a common banner against democracy? It is because democracy gives their enemythe common people everything, and provides themthe oppressorsno weapons with which to oppose the people. The greatest reactionaries are always the greatest opponents of democracy. The histories of Germany, the Soviet Union, and New China make this very clear and show that these reactionaries are also the most formidable and dangerous enemies of social peace and prosperity. The more recent histories of these countries make it apparent that all the struggles of the people for prosperity and of society for development are ultimately directed against the enemies of democracythe dictatorial fascists. When democracy defeats dictatorship, it always brings with it the most favorable conditions for accelerating social development. The history of the United States offers the most convincing evidence of this. The success of any struggle by the people for happiness, peace, and prosperity is contingent upon the quest for democracy. The success of all straggles by the people against oppression and exploitation depends upon achieving democracy. Let us throw ourselves completely into the
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

struggle for democracy! Only through democracy can the people obtain everything. All illusions of undemocratic means are hopeless. All forms of dictatorship and totalitarianism are the most immediate and dangerous enemies of the people. Will our enemies let us implement democracy? Of course not. They will stop at nothing to hinder the progress of democracy. Deception and trickery are the most effective means they have. All dictatorial fascists tell their people: Your situation is truly the best in the entire world. Does democracy come about naturally when society reaches a certain stage? Absolutely not. A high price is paid for every tiny victory; even coming to a recognition of this fact will cost blood and sacrifice. The enemies of democracy have always deceived their people by saying that just as democracy is inevitable, it is doomed, and, therefore, it is not worth wasting energy to fight for. But let us look at the real history, not that fabricated by the hired hacks of the socialist government. Every small branch or twig of true and valuable democracy is stained with the blood of martyrs and tyrants, and every step taken toward democracy has been fiercely attacked by the reactionary forces. The fact that democracy has been able to surmount such obstacles proves that it is precious to the people and that it embodies their aspirations. Therefore the democratic trend cannot be stopped. The Chinese people have never feared anything. They need only recognize the direction to be taken and the forces of tyranny will no longer be invincible. Is the struggle for democracy what the Chinese people want? The Cultural Revolution was the first time they flexed their muscles, and all the reactionary forces trembled before them. But at that time the people had no clear direction and the force of democracy was not the main thrust of their struggle. As a result, the dictators silenced most of them through bribes, deception, division, slander, or violent suppression. At the time, people also had a blind faith in all kinds of ambitious dictators, so once again they unwittingly became the tools and sacrificial lambs of tyrants and potential tyrants. Now, twelve years later, the people have finally recognized their goal. They see clearly the real direction of their fight and have found their true leader: the banner of democracy. The Democracy Wall at Xidan has become the first battlefield in the peoples fight against the reactionary forces. The struggle will be victoriousthis is already a commonly accepted belief; the people will be liberatedthis slogan has already taken on new significance. There may be bloodshed and sacrifice, and people may fall prey to even more sinister plots, yet the banner of democracy will never again be obscured by the evil fog of the reactionary forces. Let us unite together under this great and true banner and march toward modernization

varying degrees. All this represents marked progress in our inner-Party life and will give a big impetus to the cause of our Party and people. Today, I mainly want to discuss one question, namely, how to emancipate our minds, use our heads, seek truth from facts and unite as one in looking to the future.
I. EMANCIPATING THE MIND IS A VITAL POLITICAL TASK

Deng Xiaoping. Emancipate the Mind, Seek Truth from Facts and Unite as One in Looking to the Future. Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping (19751982), 151 165. Translated by The Bureau for the Compilation and Translation of Works of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin Under the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Beijing: Peoples Publishing House, 1983.

INTRODUCTION

The key speech reprinted below was delivered on December 13, 1978, just before the Third Plenary session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the meeting that approved Deng Xiaopings reform program. Deng is careful to pay tribute to Mao Zedong and his record (indeed seek truth from facts is taken from a 1941 speech by Mao), but in urging the emancipation of the mind he also criticizes much of the Maoist past and signals commitment to thoroughgoing reform.

Comrades, This conference has lasted over a month and will soon end. The Central Committee has put forward the fundamental guiding principle of shifting the focus of all Party work to the four modernizations and has solved a host of important problems inherited from the past. This will surely strengthen the determination, confidence and unity of the Party, the army and the people of all of Chinas nationalities. Now we can be certain that under the correct leadership of the Central Committee, the Party, army and people will achieve victory after victory in our new Long March. The present conference has been very successful and will have an important place in our Partys history. We have not held one like it for many years. There has been lively debate here and the Partys democratic tradition has been revived and carried forward. We should spread this style of work to the whole Party, army and people. At this conference we have discussed and resolved many major issues concerning the destinies of our Party and state. The participants have spoken their minds freely and fully and have boldly aired their honest opinions. They have laid problems on the table and have felt free to criticize things, including the work of the Central Committee. Some comrades have criticized themselves to

When it comes to emancipating our minds, using our heads, seeking truth from facts and uniting as one in looking to the future, the primary task is to emancipate our minds. Only then can we, guided as we should be by Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, find correct solutions to the emerging as well as inherited problems, fruitfully reform those aspects of the relations of production and of the superstructure that do not correspond with the rapid development of our productive forces, and chart the specific course and formulate the specific policies, methods and measures needed to achieve the four modernizations under our actual conditions. The emancipation of minds has not been completely achieved among our cadres, particularly our leading cadres. Indeed, many comrades have not yet set their brains going; in other words, their ideas remain rigid or partly so. That isnt because they are not good comrades. It is a result of specific historical conditions. First, it is because during the past dozen years Lin Biao and the Gang of Four set up ideological taboos or forbidden zones and preached blind faith to confine peoples minds within the framework of their phoney Marxism. No one was allowed to go beyond the limits they prescribed; anyone who did was tracked down, stigmatized and attacked politically. In this situation, some people found it safer to stop using their heads and thinking questions over. Second, it is because democratic centralism was undermined and the Party was afflicted with bureaucratism resulting from, among other things, overconcentration of power. This kind of bureaucratism often masquerades as Party leadership, Party directives, Party interests and Party discipline, but actually it is designed to control people, hold them in check and oppress them. At that time many important issues were often decided by one or two persons. The others could only do what those few ordered. That being so, there wasnt much point in thinking things out for yourself. Third, it is because no clear distinction was made between right and wrong or between merit and demerit, and because rewards and penalties were not meted out as deserved. No distinction was made between those who worked well and those who didnt. In some cases, even people who worked well were attacked while those who
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

262

Emancipate the Mind, Seek Truth from Facts and Unite as One in Looking to the Future

did nothing or just played it safe weathered every storm. Under those unwritten laws, people were naturally reluctant to use their brains. Fourth, it is because people are still subject to the force of habit of the small producer, who sticks to old conventions, is content with the status quo and is unwilling to seek progress or accept anything new. When peoples minds arent yet emancipated and their thinking remains rigid, curious phenomena emerge. Once peoples thinking becomes rigid, they will increasingly act according to fixed notions. To cite some examples, strengthening Party leadership is interpreted as the Partys monopolizing and interfering in everything. Exercising centralized leadership is interpreted as erasing distinctions between the Party and the government, so that the former replaces the latter. And maintaining unified leadership by the Central Committee is interpreted as doing everything according to unified standards. We are opposed to home-grown policies that violate the fundamental principles of those laid down by the Central Committee, but there are also home-grown policies that are truly grounded in reality and supported by the masses. Yet such correct policies are still often denounced for their not conforming to the unified standards. People whose thinking has become rigid tend to veer with the wind. They are not guided by Party spirit and Party principles, but go along with whatever has the backing of the authorities and adjust their words and actions according to whichever way the wind is blowing. They think that they will thus avoid mistakes. In fact, however, veering with the wind is in itself a grave mistake, a contravention of the Party spirit which all Communists should cherish. It is true that people who think independently and dare to speak out and act cant avoid making mistakes, but their mistakes are out in the open and are therefore more easily rectified. Once peoples thinking becomes rigid, book worship, divorced from reality, becomes a grave malady. Those who suffer from it dare not say a word or take a step that isnt mentioned in books, documents or the speeches of leaders: everything has to be copied. Thus responsibility to the higher authorities is set in opposition to responsibility to the people. Our drive for the four modernizations will get nowhere unless rigid thinking is broken down and the minds of cadres and of the masses are completely emancipated. In fact, the current debate about whether practice is the sole criterion for testing truth is also a debate about whether peoples minds need to be emancipated. Everybody has recognized that this debate is highly important and necessary. Its importance is becoming clearer all the time. When everything has to be done by the book, when thinking turns rigid and blind faith is the fashion, it is
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

impossible for a party or a nation to make progress. Its life will cease and that party or nation will perish. Comrade Mao Zedong said this time and again during the rectification movements. Only if we emancipate our minds, seek truth from facts, proceed from reality in everything and integrate theory with practice, can we carry out our socialist modernization programme smoothly, and only then can our Party further develop Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought. In this sense, the debate about the criterion for testing truth is really a debate about ideological line, about politics, about the future and the destiny of our Party and nation. Seeking truth from facts is the basis of the proletarian world outlook as well as the ideological basis of Marxism. Just as in the past we achieved all the victories in our revolution by following this principle, so today we must rely on it in our effort to accomplish the four modernizations. Comrades in every factory, government office, school, shop and production team as well as comrades in Party committees at the central, provincial, prefectural, county and commune levels all should act on this principle, emancipate their minds and use their heads in thinking questions through and taking action on them. The more Party members and other people there are who use their heads and think things through, the more our cause will benefit. To make revolution and build socialism we need large numbers of pathbreakers who dare to think, explore new ways and generate new ideas. Otherwise, we wont be able to rid our country of poverty and backwardness or to catch up with still less surpass the advanced countries. We hope every Party committee and every Party branch will encourage and support people both inside and outside the Party to dare to think, explore new paths and put forward new ideas, and that they will urge the masses to emancipate their minds and use their heads.
II. DEMOCRACY IS A MAJOR CONDITION FOR EMANCIPATING THE MIND

One important condition for getting people to emancipate their minds and use their heads is genuine practice of the proletarian system of democratic centralism. We need unified and centralized leadership, but centralism can be correct only when there is a full measure of democracy. At present, we must lay particular stress on democracy, because for quite a long time democratic centralism was not genuinely practised: centralism was divorced from democracy and there was too little democracy. Even today, only a few advanced people dare to speak up. There are a good many such people at this conference. But in the Party and the country as a whole, there are still many who hesitate to speak their minds. Even when they have

263

Emancipate the Mind, Seek Truth from Facts and Unite as One in Looking to the Future

worthwhile opinions, they hesitate to express them, and they are not bold enough in struggling against bad things and bad people. If this doesnt change, how can we persuade everyone to emancipate his mind and use his head? And how can we bring about the four modernizations? We must create the conditions for the practice of democracy, and for this it is essential to reaffirm the principle of the three donts: dont pick on others for their faults, dont put labels on people, and dont use a big stick. In political life within the Party and among the people we must use democratic means and not resort to coercion or attack. The rights of citizens, Party members and Party committee members are respectively stipulated by the Constitution of the Peoples Republic and the Constitution of the Communist Party. These rights must be resolutely defended and no infringement of them must be allowed. The recent reversal of the verdict on the Tiananmen Incident has elated the people of all of Chinas nationalities and greatly stimulated mass enthusiasm for socialism. The masses should be encouraged to offer criticisms. There is nothing to worry about even if a few malcontents take advantage of democracy to make trouble. We should deal with such situations appropriately, having faith that the overwhelming majority of the people are able to use their own judgement. One thing a revolutionary party does need to worry about is its inability to hear the voice of the people. The thing to be feared most is silence. Today many rumours some true, some false circulate through the grapevine inside and outside the Party. This is a kind of punishment for the long-standing lack of political democracy. If we had a political situation with both centralism and democracy, both discipline and freedom, both unity of will and personal ease of mind and liveliness, there wouldnt be so many rumours and anarchism would be easier to overcome. We believe our people are mindful of the overall interests of the country and have a good sense of discipline. Our leading cadres at all levels, and especially those of high rank, should for their part take care to strictly observe Party discipline and keep Party secrets; they should refrain from spreading rumours, circulating handwritten copies of speeches and the like. As it is only natural that some opinions expressed by the masses should be correct and others not, we should examine them analytically. The Party leadership should be good at synthesizing the correct opinions and explaining why the others are incorrect. In dealing with ideological problems we must never use coercion but should genuinely carry out the policy of letting a hundred flowers bloom, a hundred schools of thought contend. We must firmly put a stop to bad practices such as attacking and trying to silence people who make critical comments especially sharp ones by

ferreting out their political backgrounds, tracing political rumours to them and opening special case files on them. Comrade Mao Zedong used to say that such actions were really signs of weakness and lack of courage. No leading comrades at any level must ever place themselves in opposition to the masses. We must never abandon this principle. But of course we must not let down our guard against the handful of counter-revolutionaries who still exist in our country. Now I want to speak at some length about economic democracy. Under our present system of economic management, power is over-concentrated, so it is necessary to devolve some of it to the lower levels without hesitation but in a planned way. Otherwise it will be difficult to give full scope to the initiative of local as well as national authorities and to the enterprises and workers, and difficult to practise modern economic management and raise the productivity of labour. The various localities, enterprises and production teams should be given greater powers of decision regarding both operation and management. There are many provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China, and some of our mediumsized provinces are as big as a large European country. They must be given greater powers of decision in economic planning, finance and foreign trade always within the framework of a nationwide unity of views, policies, planning, guidance and action. At present the most pressing need is to expand the decision-making powers of mines, factories and other enterprises and of production teams, so as to give full scope to their initiative and creativity. Once a production team has been empowered to make decisions regarding its own operations, its members and cadres will lie awake at night so long as a single piece of land is left unplanted or a single pond unused for aquatic production, and they will find ways to remedy the situation. Just imagine the additional wealth that could be created if all the people in Chinas hundreds of thousands of enterprises and millions of production teams put their minds to work. As more wealth is created for the state, personal income and collective benefits should also be increased somewhat. As far as the relatively small number of advanced people is concerned, it wont matter too much if we neglect the principle of more pay for more work and fail to stress individual material benefits. But when it comes to the masses, that approach can only be used for a short time it wont work in the long run. Revolutionary spirit is a treasure beyond price. Without it there would be no revolutionary action. But revolution takes place on the basis of the need for material benefit. It would be idealism to emphasize the spirit of sacrifice to the neglect of material benefit.
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

264

Emancipate the Mind, Seek Truth from Facts and Unite as One in Looking to the Future

It is also essential to ensure the democratic rights of the workers and peasants, including the rights of democratic election, management and supervision. We must create a situation in which not only every workshop director and production team leader but also every worker and peasant is aware of his responsibility for production and tries to find ways of solving related problems. To ensure peoples democracy, we must strengthen our legal system. Democracy has to be institutionalized and written into law, so as to make sure that institutions and laws do not change whenever the leadership changes, or whenever the leaders change their views or shift the focus of their attention. The trouble now is that our legal system is incomplete, with many laws yet to be enacted. Very often, what leaders say is taken as the law and anyone who disagrees is called a law-breaker. That kind of law changes whenever a leaders views change. So we must concentrate on enacting criminal and civil codes, procedural laws and other necessary laws concerning factories, peoples communes, forests, grasslands and environmental protection, as well as labour laws and a law on investment by foreigners. These laws should be discussed and adopted through democratic procedures. Meanwhile, the procuratorial and judicial organs should be strengthened. All this will ensure that there are laws to go by, that they are observed and strictly enforced, and that violators are brought to book. The relations between one enterprise and another, between enterprises and the state, between enterprises and individuals, and so on should also be defined by law, and many of the contradictions between them should be resolved by law. There is a lot of legislative work to do, and we dont have enough trained people. Therefore, legal provisions will have to be less than perfect to start with, then be gradually improved upon. Some laws and statutes can be tried out in particular localities and later enacted nationally after the experience has been evaluated and improvements have been made. Individual legal provisions can be revised or supplemented one at a time, as necessary; there is no need to wait for a comprehensive revision of an entire body of law. In short, it is better to have some laws than none, and better to have them sooner than later. Moreover, we should intensify our study of international law. Just as the country must have laws, the Party must have rules and regulations. The fundamental ones are embodied in the Party Constitution. Without rules and regulations in the Party it would be hard to ensure that the laws of the state are enforced. The task of the Partys discipline inspection commissions and its organization departments at all levels is not only to deal with particular cases but, more important, to uphold the Partys rules and regulations and make earnest efforts to improve its
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

style of work. Disciplinary measures should be taken against all persons who violate Party discipline, no matter who they are, so that clear differentiation is made between merits and demerits, rewards and penalties are meted out as deserved, and rectitude prevails and bad tendencies are stemmed.
III. SOLVING OLD PROBLEMS WILL HELP PEOPLE LOOK TO THE FUTURE

This conference has solved some problems left over from the past and distinguished clearly between the merits and demerits of some persons, and remedies have been made for a number of major cases in which the charges were false or which were unjustly or incorrectly dealt with. This is essential for emancipating minds and for ensuring political stability and unity. Its purpose is to help us turn our thoughts to the future and smoothly shift the focus of the Partys work. Our principle is that every wrong should be righted. All wrongs done in the past should be corrected. Some questions that cannot be settled right now should be settled after this conference. But settlement must be prompt and effective, without leaving any loose ends and on the basis of facts. We must solve these problems left over from the past thoroughly. It is not good for them to be left unsolved or for comrades who have made mistakes to refuse to make self-criticisms, or for us to fail to deal with their cases properly. However, we cannot possibly achieve and should not expect a perfect settlement of every case. We should have the major aspect of each problem in mind and solve it in broad outline; to go into every detail is neither possible nor necessary. Stability and unity are of prime importance. To strengthen the unity of people of whatever nationality, we must first strengthen unity throughout the Party, and especially within the central leadership. Our Partys unity is based on Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought. Inside the Party we should distinguish right from wrong in terms of theory and of the Party line, conduct criticism and self-criticism and help and supervise each other in correcting wrong ideas. Comrades who have made mistakes should be urged to sum up their experience and draw the necessary lessons, so that they can recognize those mistakes and correct them. We should give them time to think. Once they improve their understanding of cardinal issues of right and wrong and conduct self-criticism, we should make them welcome again. In dealing with people who have made mistakes, we must weigh each case very carefully. Where there is a choice, it is better to err on the side of leniency, but we should be more severe if the problems recur. We should be somewhat lenient with

265

Emancipate the Mind, Seek Truth from Facts and Unite as One in Looking to the Future

rank-and-file Party members, but more severe with leading cadres, especially those of high rank. From now on we must be very careful in the selection of cadres. We must never assign important posts to persons who have engaged in beating, smashing and looting, who have been obsessed by factionalist ideas, who have sold their souls by framing innocent comrades, or who disregard the Partys vital interests. Nor can we lightly trust persons who sail with the wind, curry favour with those in power and ignore the Partys principles. We should be wary of such people and at the same time educate them and urge them to change their world outlook. People both at home and abroad have been greatly concerned recently about how we would evaluate Comrade Mao Zedong and the cultural revolution. The great contributions of Comrade Mao in the course of long revolutionary struggles will never fade. If we look back at the years following the failure of the revolution in 1927, it appears very likely that without his outstanding leadership the Chinese revolution would still not have triumphed even today. In that case, the people of all our nationalities would still be suffering under the reactionary rule of imperialism, feudalism and bureaucratcapitalism, and our Party would still be engaged in bitter struggle in the dark. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that were it not for Chairman Mao there would be no New China. Mao Zedong Thought has nurtured our whole generation. All comrades present here may be said to have been nourished by Mao Zedong Thought. Without Mao Zedong Thought, the Communist Party of China would not exist today, and that is no exaggeration either. Mao Zedong Thought will forever remain the greatest intellectual treasure of our Party, our army and our people. We must understand the scientific tenets of Mao Zedong Thought correctly and as an integral whole and develop them under the new historical conditions. Of course Comrade Mao was not infallible or free from shortcomings. To demand that of any revolutionary leader would be inconsistent with Marxism. We must guide and educate the Party members, the army officers and men and the people of all of Chinas nationalities and help them to see the great services of Comrade Mao Zedong scientifically and in historical perspective. The Cultural Revolution should also be viewed scientifically and in historical perspective. In initiating it Comrade Mao Zedong was actuated mainly by the desire to oppose and prevent revisionism. As for the shortcomings that appeared during the course of the cultural revolution and the mistakes that were made then, at an appropriate time they should be summed up and lessons should be drawn from them that is essential for achieving unity of understanding throughout the

Party. The cultural revolution has become a stage in the course of Chinas socialist development, hence we must evaluate it. However, there is no need to do so hastily. Serious research must be done before we can make a scientific appraisal of this historical stage. It may take a rather long time to fully understand and assess some of the particular issues involved. We will probably be able to make a more correct analysis of this period in history after some time has passed than we can right now.
IV. STUDY THE NEW SITUATION AND TACKLE THE NEW PROBLEMS

In order to look forward, we must study the new situation and tackle the new problems in good time; otherwise, there can be no smooth progress. In three fields especially, the new situation and new problems demand attention: methods of management, structure of management and economic policy. So far as methods of management are concerned, we should lay particular stress on overcoming bureaucratism. Our bureaucracy, which is a result of small-scale production, is utterly incompatible with large-scale production. To achieve the four modernizations and shift the technological basis of our entire socialist economy to that of large-scale production, it is essential to overcome the evils of bureaucracy. Our present economic management is marked by overstaffing, organizational overlapping, complicated procedures and extremely low efficiency. Everything is often drowned in empty political talk. This is not the fault of any group of comrades. The fault lies in the fact that we havent made reforms in time. Our modernization programme and socialist cause will be doomed if we dont make them now. We must learn to manage the economy by economic means. If we ourselves dont know about advanced methods of management, we should learn from those who do, either at home or abroad. These methods should be applied not only in the operation of enterprises with newly imported technology and equipment, but also in the technical transformation of existing enterprises. Pending the introduction of a unified national programme of modern management, we can begin with limited spheres, say, a particular region or a given trade, and then spread the methods gradually to others. The central government departments concerned should encourage such experiments. Contradictions of all kinds will crop up in the process and we should discover and overcome them in good time. That will speed up our progress. Henceforth, now that the question of political line has been settled, the quality of leadership given by the Party committee in an economic unit should be judged mainly by the units adoption of advanced methods of
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

266

Emancipate the Mind, Seek Truth from Facts and Unite as One in Looking to the Future

management, by the progress of its technical innovation, and by the margins of increase of its productivity of labour, its profits, the personal income of its workers and the collective benefits it provides. The quality of leadership by Party committees in all fields should be judged by similar criteria. This will be of major political importance in the years to come. Without these criteria as its key elements, our politics would be empty and divorced from the highest interests of both the Party and the people. So far as the structure of management is concerned, the most important task at present is to strengthen the work responsibility system. Right now a big problem in enterprises and institutions across the country and in Party and government organs at various levels is that nobody takes responsibility. In theory, there is collective responsibility. In fact, this means that no one is responsible. When a task is assigned, nobody sees that it is properly fulfilled or cares whether the result is satisfactory. So there is an urgent need to establish a strict responsibility system. Lenin said, To refer to collegiate methods as an excuse for irresponsibility is a most dangerous evil. He called it an evil which must be halted at all costs as quickly as possible and by whatever the means. For every job or construction project it is necessary to specify the work to be done, the personnel required to do it, work quotas, standards of quality, and a time schedule. For example, in introducing foreign technology and equipment we should specify what items are to be imported from where, where they are going, and who is to take charge of the work. Whether it is a question of importing foreign equipment or of operating an existing enterprise, similar specifications should be made. When problems arise, it doesnt help just to blame the planning commissions and Party committees concerned, as we do now the particular persons responsible must feel the heat. By the same token, rewards also should go to specific collectives and persons. In implementing the system according to which the factory directors assume overall responsibility under the leadership of the Party committees, we must state explicitly who is responsible for each aspect of the work. To make the best use of the responsibility system, the following measures are essential. First, we must extend the authority of the managerial personnel. Whoever is given responsibility should be given authority as well. Whoever it is a factory director, engineer, technician, accountant or cashier he should have his own area not only of responsibility but of authority, which must not be infringed upon by others. The responsibility system is bound to fail if there is only responsibility without authority. Second, we must select personnel wisely and assign duties according to ability. We should seek out existing

specialists and train new ones, put them in important positions, raise their political status and increase their material benefits. What are the political requirements in selecting someone for a job? The major criterion is whether the person chosen can work for the good of the people and contribute to the development of the productive forces and to the socialist cause as a whole. Third, we must have a strict system of evaluation and distinguish clearly between a performance that should be rewarded and one that should be penalized. All enterprises, schools, research institutes and government offices should set up systems for evaluating work and conferring academic, technical and honorary titles. Rewards and penalties, promotions and demotions should be based on work performance. And they should be linked to increases or reductions in material benefits. In short, through strengthening the responsibility system and allotting rewards and penalties fairly, we should create an atmosphere of friendly emulation in which people vie with one another to become advanced elements, working hard and aiming high. In economic policy, I think we should allow some regions and enterprises and some workers and peasants to earn more and enjoy more benefits sooner than others, in accordance with their hard work and greater contributions to society. If the standard of living of some people is raised first, this will inevitably be an impressive example to their neighbours, and people in other regions and units will want to learn from them. This will help the whole national economy to advance wave upon wave and help the people of all our nationalities to become prosperous in a comparatively short period. Of course, there are still difficulties in production in the Northwest, Southwest and some other regions, and the life of the people there is hard. The state should give these places many kinds of help, and in particular strong material support. These are major policies which can have an effect on the whole national economy and push it forward. I suggest that you study them carefully. During the drive to realize the four modernizations, we are bound to encounter many new and unexpected situations and problems with which we are unfamiliar. In particular, the reforms in the relations of production and in the superstructure will not be easy to introduce. They touch on a wide range of issues and concern the immediate interests of large numbers of people, so they are bound to give rise to complications and problems and to meet with numerous obstacles. In the reorganization of enterprises, for example, there will be the problem of deciding who will stay on and who will leave, while in that of government departments, a good many people will be transferred to other jobs, and some may complain.

Joint Communique on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations

And so on. Since we will have to confront such problems soon, we must be mentally prepared for them. We must teach Party members and the masses to give top priority to the overall situation and the overall interests of the Party and the state. We should be full of confidence. We will be able to solve any problem and surmount any obstacle so long as we have faith in the masses, follow the mass line and explain the situation and problems to them. There can be no doubt that as the economy grows, more and more possibilities will open up and each person will be able to make his contribution to society. The four modernizations represent a great and profound revolution in which we are moving forward by resolving one new contradiction after another. Therefore, all Party comrades must learn well and always keep on learning. On the eve of nationwide victory in the Chinese revolution, Comrade Mao Zedong called on the whole Party to start learning afresh. We did that pretty well and consequently, after entering the cities, we were able to rehabilitate the economy very quickly and then to accomplish the socialist transformation. But we must admit that we have not learned well enough in the subsequent years. Expending our main efforts on political campaigns, we did not master the skills needed to build our country. Our socialist construction failed to progress satisfactorily and we experienced grave setbacks politically. Now that our task is to achieve modernization, our lack of the necessary knowledge is even more obvious. So the whole Party must start learning again. What shall we learn? Basically, we should study Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought and try to integrate the universal principles of Marxism with the concrete practice of our modernization drive. At present most of our cadres need also to apply themselves to three subjects: economics, science and technology, and management. Only if we study these well will we be able to carry out socialist modernization rapidly and efficiently. We should learn in different ways through practice, from books and from the experience, both positive and negative, of others as well as our own. Conservatism and book worship should be overcome. The several hundred members and alternate members of the Central Committee and the thousands of senior cadres at the central and local levels should take the lead in making an in-depth study of modern economic development. So long as we unite as one, work in concert, emancipate our minds, use our heads and try to learn what we did not know before, there is no doubt that we will be able to quicken the pace of our new Long March. Under the leadership of the Central Committee and the State Council, let us advance courageously to change the

backward condition of our country and turn it into a modern and powerful socialist state.

JOINT COMMUNIQUE ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS BETWEEN THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CHINA AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
INTRODUCTION

After the Shanghai Communique0 of 1972, which began the thaw in U.S.-China relations, the status of Taiwan remained a difficult issue. The United States continued its diplomatic recognition of the Republic of China on Taiwan until January 1, 1979, when it recognized the Beijing government as the sole legal government of China. This move accelerated the growing diplomatic isolation of Taiwan.

The United States of America and the Peoples Republic of China have agreed to recognize each other and to establish diplomatic relations as of January 1, 1979. The United States of America recognizes the Government of the Peoples Republic of China as the sole legal Government of China. Within this context, the people of the United States will maintain cultural, commercial, and other unofficial relations with the people of Taiwan. The United States of America and the Peoples Republic of China reaffirm the principles agreed on by the two sides in the Shanghai Communique0 and emphasize once again that: Both wish to reduce the danger of international military conflict. Neither should seek hegemony in the Asia-Pacific region or in any other region of the world and each is opposed to efforts by any other country or group of countries to establish such hegemony. Neither is prepared to negotiate on behalf of any third party or to enter into agreements or understandings with the other directed at other states. The Government of the United States of America acknowledges the Chinese position that there is but one China and Taiwan is part of China. Both believe that normalization of Sino-American relations is not only in the interest of the Chinese and American peoples but also contributes to the cause of peace in Asia and the world.

A Message to Compatriots in Taiwan

The United States of America and the Peoples Republic of China will exchange Ambassadors and establish Embassies on March 1, 1979. [Note: This is the English version in which the United States takes precedence.]

Every Chinese is proud to see the growing strength and prosperity of our motherland. If we can end the present disunity and join forces soon, we will make limitless contributions to the future of mankind. Early reunification of our motherland is not only the common desire of all the people of China, including our compatriots in Taiwan, but the common wish of all peace-loving peoples and countries the world over. Reunification of China today is consonant with popular sentiment and the unfolding of history. The world by and large recognizes only one China, with the Government of the Peoples Republic of China as its sole legal Government. The recent conclusion of the China-Japan Treaty of Peace and Friendship and the normalization of relations between China and the United States show still more clearly that no one can stop this trend. The present situation in the motherland, one of stability and unity, is better than ever. The people of all nationalities on the mainland are working hard with one will for the great goal of the four modernizations. It is our fervent hope that Taiwan returns to the embrace of the motherland at an early date so that we can work together for the great cause of national development. Our state leaders have firmly declared that in accomplishing the great cause of reunification they will take present realities into account, respect the status quo on Taiwan and the opinions of Taiwan people in all walks of life, and adopt reasonable policies and measures in settling the question of reunification so as not to cause the people of Taiwan any losses. On the other hand, people in all walks of life in Taiwan have expressed their yearning for their homeland and old friends, stated their desire to identify themselves with and rejoin their kinsmen, and raised diverse proposals which are expressions of their earnest hope for an early return to the embrace of the motherland. Now that all conditions are favourable and ready for reunification, no one should go against the will of the nation and against the trend of history. We place our hope on the 17 million people on Taiwan, including the Taiwan authorities. The Taiwan authorities have always firmly stood for one China and opposed an independent Taiwan. We take the same stand and it is the basis for our co-operation. Our position has always been that all patriots belong to one family. The responsibility of reunifying the motherland rests with each of us. We hope the Taiwan authorities will treasure national interests and make valuable contributions to the reunification of the motherland. The Chinese Government has ordered the Peoples Liberation Army to stop the bombardment of Jinmen (Quemoy) and other islands as of today. A state of military confrontation between the two sides still exists along the Taiwan Straits. This can only breed tension. We hold first of all that this military confrontation be

A MESSAGE TO COMPATRIOTS IN TAIWAN


INTRODUCTION

The context of this 1979 New Years message, adopted by the National Peoples Congress at its Fifth Plenary Session, in effect set out a new line on Taiwan that was adopted by Chinas reform leadership. The insistence that Taiwan is part of China was preserved, but the message made clear that the Chinese government would consider an arrangement that allowed the people of Taiwan to preserve their way of life. The message announced an end to the bombardment of Taiwanese islands and proposed closer links between Taiwan and the Mainland.

[The] Chinese nation is a great nation. It accounts for almost a quarter of the worlds population and has a long history and brilliant culture, and its outstanding contributions to world civilization and human progress are universally recognized. Since ancient times Taiwan has been an inalienable part of China. The Chinese nation has great vitality and cohesion. Throughout its history, foreign invasions and internal strife have failed to permanently split our nation. Taiwans separation from the motherland for nearly thirty years has been artificial and against national interests and aspirations, and this state of affairs must not be allowed to continue. Every Chinese, in Taiwan or on the mainland, has a compelling responsibility for the survival, growth and prosperity of the Chinese nation. The important task of reunifying our motherland, on which hinges the future of the whole nation, now lies before us all; it is an issue no one can, or should try to evade. If we do not quickly set about ending this disunity so that our motherland is reunified at an early date, how will we answer to our ancestors and explain it to our descendants? This sentiment is shared by all. Who among the descendants of the Yellow Emperor wishes to go down in history as a traitor? Radical changes have taken place in Chinas status in the world over the past thirty years. Our countrys international prestige is rising constantly and its international role becomes ever more important. The people and governments of almost all countries place tremendous hope on us in the struggle against hegemonism and in safeguarding peace and stability in Asia and the whole world.

ended through discussions between the Government of the Peoples Republic of China and the Taiwan authorities; only in this way can we create the necessary conditions and a secure environment for the two sides to make contact in any and all areas. Our prolonged separation has led to inadequate mutual understanding between and inconveniences for the compatriots on the mainland and on Taiwan. Since overseas Chinese residing in distant lands can return for visits and reunite with their families, why cant compatriots living so close to each other, on the mainland and on Taiwan, visit each other freely? We hold that there is no reason for such barriers to remain. We hope that at an early date, transportation and postal links will be established, allowing compatriots of both sides to have direct contact, write to each other, visit relatives and friends, exchange tours and visits and carry out academic, cultural, athletic and technological interchanges. Economically, Taiwan and the mainland of the motherland were originally one entity. Unfortunately, economic ties have been suspended for many years. Construction is going ahead vigorously on the motherland and it is our wish that Taiwan also continues to prosper. There is every reason for us to develop trade and carry out economic exchanges, with each side making up for what the other lacks. This is mutually desired and will benefit both parties without harming either. Dear compatriots in Taiwan: The bright future of our great motherland belongs to us and to you. The reunification of the motherland is the sacred mission history has handed to our generation. Times are moving ahead and circumstances are changing. The earlier we fulfil this mission, the sooner we can jointly write an unprecedented, brilliant page in the history of our country, catch up with advanced powers, and work together with them for world peace, prosperity and progress. Let us join hands and work together for this glorious goal!

March 30, 1979, fends off attacks from leftists who considered his program of reform a betrayal of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought. At the same time he makes it clear that he has no sympathy with those who challenge the leadership of the Communist Party or advocate bourgeois democracy.

[What] I want to talk about now is ideological and political questions. The Central Committee maintains that, to carry out Chinas four modernizations, we must uphold the Four Cardinal Principles ideologically and politically. This is the basic prerequisite for achieving modernization. The four principles are: 1. We must keep to the socialist road. 2. We must uphold the dictatorship of the proletariat. 3. We must uphold the leadership of the Communist Party. 4. We must uphold Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought. As we all know, far from being new, these Four Cardinal Principles have long been upheld by our Party. The Central Committee has been adhering to these principles in all its guidelines and policies adopted since the smashing of the Gang of Four, and especially since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee. . . . [To] sum up, in order to achieve the four modernizations we must keep to the socialist road, uphold the dictatorship of the proletariat, uphold the leadership of the Communist Party, and uphold Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought. The Central Committee considers that we must now repeatedly emphasize the necessity of upholding these four cardinal principles, because certain people (even if only a handful) are attempting to undermine them. In no way can such attempts be tolerated. No Party member and, needless to say, no Party ideological or theoretical worker, must ever waver in the slightest on this basic stand. To undermine any of the four cardinal principles is to undermine the whole cause of socialism in China, the whole cause of modernization. Is the Central Committee making a mountain out of a molehill when it takes this view of the matter? No, it is not. In the light of current developments the Party has no choice. In the recent period a small number of persons have provoked incidents in some places. Instead of accepting the guidance, advice, and explanations of leading officials of the Party and government, certain bad elements have raised sundry demands that cannot be met at present or are altogether unreasonable. They have provoked or tricked some of the masses into raiding Party

and government organizations, occupying offices, holding sit-down and hunger strikes and obstructing traffic, thereby seriously disrupting production, other work and public order. Moreover, they have raised such sensational slogans as Oppose hunger and Give us human rights, inciting people to hold demonstrations and deliberately trying to get foreigners to give worldwide publicity to their words and deeds. There is a so-called China Human Rights Group which has gone so far as to put up big-character posters requesting the President of the United States to show concern for human rights in China. Can we permit such an open call for intervention in Chinas internal affairs? There is also a so-called Thaw Society which has issued a declaration openly opposing the dictatorship of the proletariat on the ground that it divides mankind. Can we tolerate this kind of freedom of speech which flagrantly contravenes the principles of our Constitution? In Shanghai there is a so-called Democracy Forum. Some of its members have slandered Comrade Mao Zedong and put up big counter-revolutionary posters proclaiming that proletarian dictatorship is the source of all evils and that it is necessary to resolutely and thoroughly criticize the Communist Party of China. They allege that capitalism is better than socialism and that, therefore, instead of carrying out the four modernizations China should introduce what they call social reform, by which they mean that it should turn to capitalism. They publicly declare that their task is to settle accounts with those whom the Gang of Four called the capitalist roaders but whom it had failed to deal with. Some of them have asked to go abroad to seek political asylum, and some have even made clandestine contact with the Kuomintang secret service, plotting sabotage. It is obvious that these people are out to use any and all means to disrupt our effort to shift the focus of our work to the achievement of modernization. If we ignored these grave problems, our Party and government organs at various levels would be so harassed that they would find it impossible to function. How, then, could we concentrate on the four modernizations? It is true that there are very few such incidents and that the overwhelming majority of our people disapprove of them. Nevertheless, they merit our serious attention. First, these trouble-makers generally say they speak in the name of democracy, a claim by which people are easily misled. Second, taking advantage of social problems left over from the time when Lin Biao and the Gang of Four held sway, they may deceive some people who have difficulties which the government cannot help to clear up at the moment. Third, the troublemakers have begun to form all kinds of secret or semiENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

secret organizations which seek to establish contact with each other on a nationwide scale and at the same time to collaborate with political forces in Taiwan and abroad. Fourth, some of these people work hand in glove with gangster organizations and followers of the Gang of Four, trying to expand the scope of their sabotage. Fifth, they do all they can to use as a pretext or as a shield indiscreet statements of one sort or another made by some of our comrades. All this shows that the struggle against these individuals is no simple matter that can be settled quickly. We must strive to clearly distinguish between people (many of them innocent young people) and the counter-revolutionaries and bad elements who have hoodwinked them, and whom we must deal with sternly and according to law. At the same time, we must educate comrades throughout the Party about the necessity of sharpening their vigilance, bearing in mind the interests of the country as a whole and uniting as one under the leadership of the Central Committee. We must encourage them to continue the emancipation of their minds and consistently promote democracy so that they can mobilize all positive forces while at the same time endeavouring to clear up the ideological confusion among a small section of the people, especially young people. We must make a special effort to explain the question of democracy clearly to the people, and to our youth in particular. The socialist road, the dictatorship of the proletariat, the leadership of the Communist Party and Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought all these are tied up with democracy. What kind of democracy do the Chinese people need today? It can only be socialist democracy, peoples democracy, and not bourgeois democracy, individualist democracy. . . . [While] propagating democracy, we must strictly distinguish between socialist democracy on the one hand and bourgeois, individualist democracy on the other. We must link democracy for the people with dictatorship over the enemy, and with centralism, legality, discipline and the leadership by the Communist Party. At present when we are confronted with manifold difficulties in our economic life which can be overcome only by a series of readjustments and by consolidation and reorganization, it is particularly necessary to stress publicly the importance of subordinating personal interests to collective ones, interests of the part to those of the whole, and immediate to long-term interests. Only when everyone whether inside or outside the Party, in a leading position or among the rank and file is concerned for the overall interests shall we be able to overcome our difficulties and ensure a bright future for the four modernizations. Conversely, departure from the four cardinal principles and talk about democracy in the abstract will inevitably lead to the unchecked spread of ultra-democracy and

anarchism, to the complete disruption of political stability and unity, and to the total failure of our modernization programme. If this happens, the decade of struggle against Lin Biao and the Gang of Four will have been in vain, China will once again be plunged into chaos, division, retrogression and darkness, and the Chinese people will be deprived of all hope. This is a matter of deep concern not only for the Chinese people of whatever nationality but also for all people abroad who wish to see China strong. . . .

INTRODUCTION

The well-known Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci, who died in 2006, conducted the interview excerpted below with Deng Xiaoping in 1980. She questioned the reform leader about many sensitive issues such as the historical assessment of Mao Zedong and his mistakes, the Cultural Revolution and the future role of foreign capital in China.

Oriana Fallaci: Will Chairman Maos portrait above Tiananmen Gate be kept there? Deng Xiaoping: It will, forever. In the past there were too many portraits of Chairman Mao. They were hung everywhere. That was not proper and it didnt really show respect for Chairman Mao. Its true that he made mistakes in a certain period, but he was after all a principal founder of the Chinese Communist Party and the Peoples Republic of China. In evaluating his merits and mistakes, we hold that his mistakes were only secondary. What he did for the Chinese people can never be erased. In our hearts we Chinese will always cherish him as a founder of our Party and our state. Question: We Westerners find a lot of things hard to understand. The Gang of Four are blamed for all the faults. Im told that when the Chinese talk about the Gang of Four, many of them hold up five fingers. Answer: We must make a clear distinction between the nature of Chairman Maos mistakes and the crimes of Lin Biao and the Gang of Four. For most of his life, Chairman Mao did very good things. Many times he saved the Party and the state from crises. Without him the Chinese people would, at the very least, have spent

much more time groping in the dark. Chairman Maos greatest contribution was that he applied the principles of Marxism-Leninism to the concrete practice of the Chinese revolution, pointing the way to victory. It should be said that before the sixties or the late fifties many of his ideas brought us victories, and the fundamental principles he advanced were quite correct. He creatively applied Marxism-Leninism to every aspect of the Chinese revolution, and he had creative views on philosophy, political science, military science, literature and art, and so on. Unfortunately, in the evening of his life, particularly during the Cultural Revolution, he made mistakes and they were not minor ones which brought many misfortunes upon our Party, our state and our people. As you know, during the Yanan days our Party summed up Chairman Maos thinking in various fields as Mao Zedong Thought, and we made it our guiding ideology. We won great victories for the revolution precisely because we adhered to Mao Zedong Thought. Of course, Mao Zedong Thought was not created by Comrade Mao alone other revolutionaries of the older generation played a part in forming and developing it but primarily it embodies Comrade Maos thinking. Nevertheless, victory made him less prudent, so that in his later years some unsound features and unsound ideas, chiefly Left ones, began to emerge. In quite a number of instances he went counter to his own ideas, counter to the fine and correct propositions he had previously put forward, and counter to the style of work he himself had advocated. At this time he increasingly lost touch with reality. He didnt maintain a good style of work. He did not consistently practise democratic centralism and the mass line, for instance, and he failed to institutionalize them during his lifetime. This was not the fault of Comrade Mao Zedong alone. Other revolutionaries of the older generation, including me, should also be held responsible. Some abnormalities appeared in the political life of our Party and state patriarchal ways or styles of work developed, and glorification of the individual was rife; political life in general wasnt too healthy. Eventually these things led to the Cultural Revolution, which was a mistake. Question: You mentioned that in his last years, Chairman Mao was in poor health. But at the time of Liu Shaoqis arrest and his subsequent death in prison Maos health wasnt so bad. And there are other mistakes to be accounted for. Wasnt the Great Leap Forward a mistake? Wasnt copying the Soviet model a mistake? And what did Chairman Mao really want with the Cultural Revolution? Answer: Mistakes began to occur in the late fifties the Great Leap Forward, for instance. But that wasnt solely Chairman Maos fault either. The people around him got carried away too. We acted in direct contravention of objective laws, attempting to boost the economy all at once. As our subjective wishes went against objective
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

272

Answers to the Italian Journalist Oriana Fallaci

laws, losses were inevitable. Still, it is Chairman Mao who should be held primarily responsible for the Great Leap Forward. But it didnt take him long just a few months to recognize his mistake, and he did so before the rest of us and proposed corrections. And in 1962, when because of some other factors those corrections had not been fully carried out, he made a self-criticism. But the lessons were not fully drawn, and as a result the Cultural Revolution erupted. So far as Chairman Maos own hopes were concerned, he initiated the Cultural Revolution in order to avert the restoration of capitalism, but he had made an erroneous assessment of Chinas actual situation. In the first place, the targets of the revolution were wrongly defined, which led to the effort to ferret out capitalist roaders in power in the Party. Blows were dealt at leading cadres at all levels who had made contributions to the revolution and had practical experience, including Comrade Liu Shaoqi. In the last couple of years before Chairman Maos death he said that the Cultural Revolution had been wrong on two counts: one was overthrowing all, and the other was waging a full-scale civil war. These two counts alone show that the Cultural Revolution cannot be called correct. Chairman Maos mistake was a political mistake, and not a small one. On the other hand, it was taken advantage of by the two counter-revolutionary cliques headed by Lin Biao and the Gang of Four, who schemed to usurp power. Therefore, we should draw a line between Chairman Maos mistakes and the crimes of Lin Biao and the Gang of Four. Question: But we all know that it was Chairman Mao himself who chose Lin Biao1 as his successor, much in the same way as an emperor chooses his heir. Answer: This is what Ive just referred to as an incorrect way of doing things. For a leader to pick his own successor is a feudal practice. It is an illustration of the imperfections in our institutions which I referred to a moment ago. Question: To what extent will Chairman Mao be involved when you hold your next Party congress? Answer: We will make an objective assessment of Chairman Maos contributions and his mistakes. We will reaffirm that his contributions are primary and his mistakes secondary. We will adopt a realistic approach towards the mistakes he made late in life. We will continue to adhere to Mao Zedong Thought, which represents the correct part of Chairman Maos life. Not only did Mao Zedong Thought lead us to victory in the revolution in the past; it is and will continue to be a treasured possession of the Chinese Communist Party and of our country. That is why we will forever keep Chairman Maos portrait on Tiananmen Gate as a symbol of our country, and we will always remember him as a founder of our Party and state. Moreover, we will adhere to Mao Zedong Thought. We will not do to Chairman Mao what Khrushchov did to Stalin.
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

Question: Do you mean to say that the name of Chairman Mao will inevitably come up when the Gang of Four is brought to trial as well as when you have your next Party congress? Answer: His name will be mentioned. Not only at the next Party congress but also on other occasions. But the trial of the Gang of Four will not detract from Chairman Maos prestige. Of course, he was responsible for putting them in their positions. Nevertheless, the crimes the Gang of Four themselves committed are more than sufficient to justify whatever sentences may be passed on them. Question: I have heard that Chairman Mao frequently complained that you didnt listen to him enough, and that he didnt like you. Is it true? Answer: Yes, Chairman Mao did say I didnt listen to him. But this wasnt directed only at me. It happened to other leaders as well. It reflects some unhealthy ideas in his twilight years, that is, patriarchal ways which are feudal in nature. He did not readily listen to differing opinions. We cant say that all his criticisms were wrong. But neither was he ready to listen to many correct opinions put forward not only by me but by other comrades. Democratic centralism was impaired, and so was collective leadership. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain how the Cultural Revolution broke out. Question: There was one personage in China who always went unscathed, and that was Premier Zhou Enlai. How do you explain this fact? Answer: Premier Zhou was a man who worked hard and uncomplainingly all his life. He worked 12 hours a day, and sometimes 16 hours or more, throughout his life. We got to know each other quite early, that is, when we were in France on a work-study programme during the 1920s. I have always looked upon him as my elder brother. We took the revolutionary road at about the same time. He was much respected by his comrades and all the people. Fortunately he survived during the Cultural Revolution when we were knocked down. He was in an extremely difficult position then, and he said and did many things that he would have wished not to. But the people forgave him because, had he not done and said those things, he himself would not have been able to survive and play the neutralizing role he did, which reduced losses. He succeeded in protecting quite a number of people. Question: I dont see how terrible things like the Cultural Revolution can be avoided or prevented from recurring. Answer: This issue has to be addressed by tackling the problems in our institutions. Some of those we established in the past were, in fact, tainted by feudalism, as manifested in such things as the personality cult, the patriarchal ways or styles of work, and the life tenure of

273

Answers to the Italian Journalist Oriana Fallaci

cadres in leading posts. We are now looking into ways to prevent such things from recurring and are preparing to start with the restructuring of our institutions. Our country has a history of thousands of years of feudalism and is still lacking in socialist democracy and socialist legality. We are now working earnestly to cultivate socialist democracy and socialist legality. Only in this way can we solve the problem. Question: Are you sure that things will proceed more smoothly from now on? Can you attain the goal you have set yourselves? I hear that the so-called Maoists are still around. By Maoists I mean those who backed the Cultural Revolution. Answer: The influence of the Gang of Four should not be underrated, but it should be noted that 97 or 98 per cent of the population hate them intensely for their crimes. This was shown by the mass movement against the Gang of Four which erupted at Tiananmen Square on April 5, 1976, when the Gang were still riding high, Chairman Mao was critically ill and Premier Zhou had passed away. Since the Gangs overthrow [in 1976], and particularly in the past two years, the will and demands of the people have been given expression in the Third, Fourth and Fifth Plenary Sessions of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. We are considering ways of resolving our problems by improving our institutions. Many issues have already been raised now. Particular emphasis is being laid on working single-mindedly for the four modernizations, and this is winning the hearts of the people. They want political stability and unity. They are fed up with large-scale movements. Such movements invariably ended up hurting a number and not a small number of people. Incessant movements make it practically impossible to concentrate on national construction. Therefore, we can say for sure that given the correctness of our present course, the people will support us and such phenomena as the Cultural Revolution will not happen again. Question: The Gang of Four could only have been arrested after the death of Chairman Mao. Who engineered their arrest? Who initiated the idea? Answer: It was collective effort. First of all, I think, it had a mass base laid by the April 5th Movement [of 1976]. The term Gang of Four was coined by Chairman Mao a couple of years before his death. We waged struggles against the Gang for two years, in 1974 and 1975. By then people clearly saw them for what they were. Although Chairman Mao had designated his successor, the Gang of Four refused to accept this. After Chairman Maos death, the Gang took the opportunity to try and get all power into their own hands, and the situation demanded action from us. They were rampant at that time, trying to overthrow the new leadership.

Under these circumstances, the great majority of the comrades of the Political Bureau were agreed that measures had to be taken to deal with the Gang. The efforts of one of two individuals would not have sufficed for this purpose. It should be pointed out that some of the things done after the arrest of the Gang of Four were inconsistent with Chairman Maos wishes, for instance, the construction of the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall. He had proposed in the fifties that we should all be cremated when we died and that only our ashes be kept, that no remains should be preserved and no tombs built. Chairman Mao was the first to sign his name, and we all followed suit. Nearly all senior cadres at the central level and across the country signed. We still have that book of signatures. What was done in the matter after the smashing of the Gang of Four was prompted by the desire to achieve a relative stability. Question: Does this mean that the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall will soon be demolished? Answer: I am not in favour of changing it. Now that it is there, it would not be appropriate to remove it. It wasnt appropriate to build it in the first place, but to change it would give rise to all kinds of talk. Many people are now speculating whether we will demolish the Memorial Hall. We have no such idea. Question: It is said that you are giving up the post of Vice-Premier. Answer: I will not be the only one to resign. All other comrades of the older generation are giving up their concurrent posts. Chairman Hua Guofeng will no longer serve concurrently as Premier of the State Council. The Central Committee of the Party has recommended Comrade Zhao Ziyang as candidate for that post. If we old comrades remain at our posts, newcomers will be inhibited in their work. We face the problem of gradually reducing the average age of leaders at all levels. We have to take the lead. There were previously no relevant rules. In fact, however, there was life tenure in leading posts. This does not facilitate the renewal of leadership or the promotion of younger people. It is an institutional defect which was not evident in the sixties because we were then in the prime of life. This issue involves not just individuals but all the relevant institutions. It has an even greater bearing on our general policy and on whether our four modernizations can be achieved. Therefore, we say it would be better for us old comrades to take an enlightened attitude and set an example in this respect. Question: I have seen other portraits in China. At Tiananmen Ive seen portraits of Marx, Engels and Lenin and particularly of Stalin. Do you intend to keep them there?

Answers to the Italian Journalist Oriana Fallaci

Answer: Before the Cultural Revolution they were put up only on important holidays. The practice was changed during the Cultural Revolution, when they were displayed permanently. Now we are going back to the former way. Question: The four modernizations will bring foreign capital into China, and this will inevitably give rise to private investment. Wont this lead to a miniaturized capitalism? Answer: In the final analysis, the general principle for our economic development is still that formulated by Chairman Mao, that is, to rely mainly on our own efforts with external assistance subsidiary. No matter to what degree we open up to the outside world and admit foreign capital, its relative magnitude will be small and it cant affect our system of socialist public ownership of the means of production. Absorbing foreign capital and technology and even allowing foreigners to construct plants in China can only play a complementary role to our effort to develop the productive forces in a socialist society. Of course, this will bring some decadent capitalist influences into China. We are aware of this possibility; its nothing to be afraid of. Question: Does it mean that not all in capitalism is so bad? Answer: It depends on how you define capitalism. Any capitalism is superior to feudalism. And we cannot say that everything developed in capitalist countries is of a capitalist nature. For instance, technology, science even advanced production management is also a sort of science will be useful in any society or country. We intend to acquire advanced technology, science and management skills to serve our socialist production. And these things as such have no class character. Question: I remember that several years ago, when talking about private plots in rural areas, you acknowledged that man needs some personal interest to produce. Doesnt this mean to put in discussion communism itself? Answer: According to Marx, socialism is the first stage of communism and it covers a very long historical period in which we must practise the principle to each according to his work and combine the interests of the state, the collective and the individual, for only thus can we arouse peoples enthusiasm for labour and develop socialist production. At the higher stage of communism, when the productive forces will be greatly developed and the principle from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs will be practised, personal interests will be acknowledged still more and more personal needs will be satisfied.
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

Question: You mentioned that there are others who made contributions to Mao Zedong Thought. Who were they? Answer: Other revolutionaries of the older generation, for example Premier Zhou Enlai, Comrades Liu Shaoqi and Zhu De and many others. Many senior cadres are creative and original in their thinking. Question: Why did you leave your own name out? Answer: I am quite insignificant. Of course, I too have done some work. Otherwise, I wouldnt be counted as a revolutionary. Question: What we did not understand was: If the Gang of Four was, as you said, a minority with all the country against them, how could it happen that they were holding the whole country, including the veteran leaders? Was it because one of the four was the wife of Mao Zedong and the ties between Mao Zedong and her were so profound that no one dared to touch her? Answer: This was one of the factors. As Ive said, Chairman Mao made mistakes, one of which was using the Gang, letting them come to power. Also, the Gang had their own factional set-up and they built a clique of some size particularly they made use of ignorant young people as a front, so they had a fair-sized base. Question: Was Mao Zedong blinded by her so that he wouldnt see what she was doing? And was she an adventuress like the Empress Dowager Yehonala? Answer: Jiang Qing did evil things by flaunting the banner of Chairman Mao. But Chairman Mao and Jiang Qing lived separately for years. Question: We didnt know that. Answer: Jiang Qing did what she did by flaunting the banner of Chairman Mao, but he failed to intervene effectively. For this he should be held responsible. Jiang Qing is rotten through and through. Whatever sentence is passed on the Gang of Four wont be excessive. They brought harm to millions upon millions of people. Question: How would you assess Jiang Qing? What score would you give her? Answer: Below zero. A thousand points below zero. Question: How would you assess yourself? Answer: I would be quite content if I myself could be rated fifty-fifty in merits and demerits. But one thing I can say for myself: I have had a clear conscience all my life. Please mark my words: I have made quite a few mistakes, and I have my own share of responsibility for some of the mistakes made by Comrade Mao Zedong. But it can be said that I made my mistake with good intentions. There is nobody who doesnt make mistakes.

We should not lay all past mistakes on Chairman Mao. So we must be very objective in assessing him. His contributions were primary, his mistakes secondary. We will inherit the many good things in Chairman Maos thinking while at the same time explaining clearly the mistakes he made.

and it is this synthesis which is Mao Zedong Thought, the product of the integration of the universal principles of Marxism-Leninism with the concrete practice of the Chinese revolution. . . . [I]t constitutes a correct theory, a body of correct principles and a summary of the experiences that have been confirmed in the practice of the Chinese revolution, a crystallization of the collective wisdom of the Chinese Communist Party. Many outstanding leaders of our Party made important contributions to the formation and development of Mao Zedong Thought, and they are synthesized in the scientific works of Comrade Mao Zedong. . . . 31. Mao Zedong Thought is the valuable spiritual asset of our Party. It will be our guide to action for a long time to come. The Party leaders and the large group of cadres nurtured by Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought were the backbone forces in winning great victories for our cause; they are and will remain our treasured mainstay in the cause of socialist modernization. While many of Comrade Mao Zedongs important works were written during the periods of new-democratic revolution and of socialist transformation, we must still constantly study them. This is not only because one cannot cut the past off from the present and failure to understand the past will hamper our understanding of present-day problems, but also because many of the basic theories, principles and scientific approaches set forth in these works are of universal significance and provide us with invaluable guidance now and will continue to do so in the future. Therefore, we must continue to uphold Mao Zedong Thought, study it in earnest and apply its stand, viewpoint and method in studying the new situation and solving the new problems arising in the course of practice. Mao Zedong Thought has added much that is new to the treasure-house of Marxist-Leninist theory. We must combine our study of the scientific works of Comrade Mao Zedong with that of the scientific writings of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin. It is entirely wrong to try to negate the scientific value of Mao Zedong Thought and to deny its guiding role in our revolution and construction just because Comrade Mao Zedong made mistakes in his later years. And it is likewise entirely wrong to adopt a dogmatic attitude towards the sayings of Comrade Mao Zedong, to regard whatever he said as the immutable truth which must be mechanically applied everywhere, and to be unwilling to admit honestly that he made mistakes in his later years, and even try to stick to them in our new activities. Both these attitudes fail to make a distinction between Mao Zedong Thoughta scientific theory formed and tested over a long period of timeand the mistakes Comrade Mao Zedong made in his later years. And it is absolutely necessary that this distinction should be made. We must treasure all the positive experience obtained in the course of integrating

The post-Mao leadership of China jettisoned many of Maos policies, condemned the leftist excesses of his later years, in particular the Cultural Revolution, and rehabilitated many victims of his political campaigns. Yet given that the reform leaders own records and that of the Communist Party and the revolution were so closely associated with the late leader, the evaluation of Mao Zedongs legacy was a delicate task. The Resolution on Certain Questions (adopted by the Sixth Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on June 27, 1981), the authoritative official verdict that was made required reading for Chinas 37 million party members, ruled that Maos contributions to the revolution far outweighed his mistakes and reaffirmed the value of Mao Zedong Thought, redefined as the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the Chinese Communist Party.

27. Comrade Mao Zedong was a great Marxist and a great proletarian revolutionary, strategist and theorist. It is true that he made gross mistakes during the cultural revolution, but, if we judge his activities as a whole, his contributions to the Chinese revolution far outweigh his mistakes. His merits are primary and his errors secondary. He rendered indelible meritorious service in founding and building up our Party and the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army, in winning victory for the cause of liberation of the Chinese people, in founding the Peoples Republic of China and in advancing our socialist cause. He made major contributions to the liberation of the oppressed nations of the world and to the progress of mankind. 28. The Chinese Communists, with Comrade Mao Zedong as their chief representative, made a theoretical synthesis of Chinas unique experience in its protracted revolution in accordance with the basic principles of Marxism-Leninism. This synthesis contributed a scientific system of guidelines befitting Chinas conditions,

CONSTITUTION OF THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CHINA


INTRODUCTION

The first Constitution of the Peoples Republic of China appeared in 1954, replacing the Common Program [see p. 221] which had played the role of a constitution since 1949. It effectively became irrelevant during the Cultural Revolution when regular political institutions and processes ceased to operate. A second constitution, adopted in 1975 and reflecting the more radical tone of the Cultural Revolution, was replaced by the constitution of 1978, which essentially reasserted the pre-Cultural Revolution norms. The 1982 Constitution which is excerpted here reflected the views of the post-Mao reform leadership by then firmly in power. It attempted to reduce the control of the Communist Party over state organizations and to strengthen the rights of the citizen notably in relation to property and inheritance. It was passed by the National Peoples Congress December 4, 1982. Minor amendments to it were passed in 1988, 1993, 1999, and 2004.

Article 33. All persons holding the nationality of the Peoples Republic of China are citizens of the Peoples Republic of China. All citizens of the Peoples Republic of China are equal before the law.

The state protects normal religious activities. No one may make use of religion to engage in activities that disrupt public order, impair the health of citizens or interfere with the educational system of the state. Religious bodies and religious affairs are not subject to any foreign domination. Article 37. The freedom of person of citizens of the Peoples Republic of China is inviolable. No citizen may be arrested except with the approval or by decision of a peoples procuratorate or by decision of a peoples court, and arrests must be made by a public security organ. Unlawful deprivation or restriction of citizens freedom of

PREAMBLE

China is one of the countries with the longest histories in the world. The people of all nationalities in China have jointly created a splendid culture and have a glorious revolutionary tradition. Feudal China was gradually reduced after 1840 to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country. The Chinese people waged wave upon wave of heroic struggles for national independence and liberation and for democracy and freedom. Great and earth-shaking historical changes have taken place in China in the 20th century. The Revolution of 1911, led by Dr Sun Yat-sen, abolished the feudal monarchy and gave birth to the Republic of China. But the Chinese people had yet to fulfil their historical task of overthrowing imperialism and feudalism. After waging hard, protracted and tortuous struggles, armed and otherwise, the Chinese people of all nationalities led by the Communist Party of China with Chairman Mao Zedong as its leader ultimately, in

JOINT COMMUNIQUE ON ARMS SALES TO TAIWAN


INTRODUCTION

Even as the United States recognized the government of the Peoples Republic of China as the sole legal government of China on January 1, 1979, U.S. relations with Taiwan continued to be a flashpoint between the two governments. As this communique0 indicates, the Chinese government was particularly annoyed that the U.S. continued to supply arms to Taiwan.

JOINT COMMUNIQUE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CHINA

August 17, 1982 1. In the Joint Communique0 on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations on January 1, 1979, issued by the Government of the United States of America and the Peoples Republic of China, the United States of America recognized the Government of the Peoples Republic of China as the sole legal Government of China, and it acknowledged the Chinese position that there is but one China and Taiwan is part of China. Within that context, the two sides agreed that the people of the United States would continue to maintain cultural, commercial, and other unofficial relations with the people of Taiwan. On this basis, relations between the United States and China were normalized. 2. The question of United States arms sales to Taiwan was not settled in the course of negotiations between the two countries on establishing diplomatic relations. The two sides held differing positions, and the Chinese side stated that it would raise the issue again following normalization. Recognizing that this issue would seriously hamper the development of United States - China relations, they have held further discussions on it, during and since the meetings between President Ronald Reagan and Premier Zhao Ziyang and between Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig, Jr. and Vice Premier and Foreign Minister Huang Hua in October 1981. 3. Respect for each others sovereignty and territorial integrity and non-interference in each others internal affairs constitute the fundamental principles guiding United States - China relations. These principles were confirmed in the Shanghai Communique0 of February

279

Sino-British Joint Declaration

28, 1972 and reaffirmed in the Joint Communique0 on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations which came into effect on January 1, 1979. Both sides emphatically state that these principles continue to govern all aspects of their relations. 4. The Chinese Government reiterates that the question of Taiwan is Chinas internal affair. The Message to Compatriots in Taiwan issued by China on January 1, 1979 promulgated a fundamental policy of striving for peaceful reunification of the motherland. The Nine-Point Proposal put forward by China on September 30, 1981 represented a further major effort under this fundamental policy to strive for a peaceful solution to the Taiwan question. 5. The United States Government attaches great importance to its relations with China, and reiterates that it has no intention of infringing on Chinese sovereignty and territorial integrity, or interfering in Chinas internal affairs, or pursuing a policy of two Chinas or one China, one Taiwan. The United States Government understands and appreciates the Chinese policy of striving for a peaceful resolution of the Taiwan question as indicated in Chinas Message to Compatriots in Taiwan issued on January 1, 1979 and the Nine-Point Proposal put forward by China on September 30, 1981. The new situation which has emerged with regard to the Taiwan question also provides favorable conditions for the settlement of United States - China differences over United States arms sales to Taiwan. Having in mind the foregoing statements of both sides, the United States Government states that it does not seek to carry out a long-term policy of arms sales to Taiwan, that its arms sales to Taiwan will not exceed, either in qualitative or in quantitative terms, the level of those supplied in recent years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and China, and that it intends gradually to reduce its sale of arms to Taiwan, leading, over a period of time, to a final resolution. In so stating, the United States acknowledges Chinas consistent position regarding the thorough settlement of this issue. 6. In order to bring about, over a period of time, a final settlement of the question of United States arms sales to Taiwan, which is an issue rooted in history, the two Governments will make every effort to adopt measures and create conditions conducive to the thorough settlement of this issue. 7. The development of United States - China relations is not only in the interests of the two peoples but also conducive to peace and stability in the world. The two sides are determined, on the principle of equality and mutual benefit, to strengthen their ties in the economic, cultural, educational, scientific, technological and other

fields and make strong, joint efforts for the continued development of relations between the Governments and peoples of the United States and China. 8. In order to bring about the healthy development of United States - China relations, maintain world peace and oppose aggression and expansion, the two Governments reaffirm the principles agreed on by the two sides in the Shanghai Communique0 and the Joint Communique0 on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations. The two sides will maintain contact and hold appropriate consultations on bilateral and international issues of common interest.

SINO-BRITISH JOINT DECLARATION


INTRODUCTION

The Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping made it clear to the British government in 1982 that the resumption of Chinese sovereignty over Hong Kong when Britains 99 year lease on the New Territories came to an end in 1997 was non-negotiable. Under pressure to ensure stability and a smooth handover, Chinese and British officials agreed to the SinoBritish Joint Declaration in 1984, promising the territory autonomy under Beijing and a continuation of its laws for 50 years. The Chinese and English language versions of this document were to be accepted as equally valid, sharply distinguishing it from the unequal treaties.

The Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of the Peoples Republic of China have reviewed with satisfaction the friendly relations existing between the two Governments and peoples in recent years and agreed that a proper negotiated settlement of the question of Hong Kong, which is left over from the past, is conducive to the maintenance of the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and to the further strengthening and development of the relations between the two countries on a new basis. To this end, they have, after talks between the delegations of the two Governments, agreed to declare as follows: 1. The Government of the Peoples Republic of China declares that to recover the Hong Kong area (including Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, hereinafter referred to as Hong Kong) is the common aspiration of the entire Chinese people, and that it has decided to resume the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong with effect from 1 July 1997. 2. The Government of the United Kingdom declares that it will restore Hong Kong to the Peoples Republic of China with effect from 1 July 1997.

Sino-British Joint Declaration

The Government of the Peoples Republic of China declares that the basic policies of the Peoples Republic of China regarding Hong Kong are as follows: i. Upholding national unity and territorial integrity and taking account of the history of Hong Kong and its realities, the Peoples Republic of China has decided to establish, in accordance with the provisions of Article 31 of the Constitution of the Peoples Republic of China, a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region upon resuming the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong.

vi. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will retain the status of a free port and a separate customs territory. vii. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will retain the status of an international financial centre, and its markets for foreign exchange, gold, securities and futures will continue. There will be free flow of capital. The Hong Kong dollar will continue to circulate and remain freely convertible. viii. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will have independent finances. The Central Peoples Government will not levy taxes on the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. ix. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region may establish mutually beneficial economic relations with the United Kingdom and other countries, whose economic interests in Hong Kong will be given due regard. x. Using the name of Hong Kong, China, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region may on its own maintain and develop economic and cultural relations and conclude relevant agreements with states, regions and relevant international organisations. The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region may on its own issue travel documents for entry into and exit from Hong Kong.

ii. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will be directly under the authority of the Central Peoples Government of the Peoples Republic of China. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will enjoy a high degree of autonomy, except in foreign and defence affairs which are the responsibilities of the Central Peoples Government. iii. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will be vested with executive, legislative and independent judicial power, including that of final adjudication. The laws currently in force in Hong Kong will remain basically unchanged. iv. The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will be composed of local inhabitants. The chief executive will be appointed by the Central Peoples Government on the basis of the results of elections or consultations to be held locally. Principal officials will be nominated by the chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for appointment by the Central Peoples Government. Chinese and foreign nationals previously working in the public and police services in the government departments of Hong Kong may remain in employment. British and other foreign nationals may also be employed to serve as advisers or hold certain public posts in government departments of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. v. The current social and economic systems in Hong Kong will remain unchanged, and so will the lifestyle. Rights and freedoms, including those of the person, of speech, of the press, of assembly, of association, of travel, of movement, of correspondence, of strike, of choice of occupation, of academic research and of religious belief will be ensured by law in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Private property, ownership of enterprises, legitimate right of inheritance and foreign investment will be protected by law.
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

xi. The maintenance of public order in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will be the responsibility of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. xii. The above-stated basic policies of the Peoples Republic of China regarding Hong Kong and the elaboration of them in Annex I to this Joint Declaration will be stipulated, in a Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China, by the National Peoples Congress of the Peoples Republic of China, and they will remain unchanged for 50 years. 4. The Government of the United Kingdom and the Government of the Peoples Republic of China declare that, during the transitional period between the date of the entry into force of this Joint Declaration and 30 June 1997, the Government of the United Kingdom will be responsible for the administration of Hong Kong with the object of maintaining and preserving its economic prosperity and social stability; and that the Government of the Peoples Republic of China will give its cooperation in this connection.

This Joint Declaration is subject to ratification and shall enter into force on the date of the exchange of instruments of ratification, which shall take place in Beijing before 30 June 1985. This Joint Declaration and its Annexes shall be equally binding. Done in duplicate at Beijing on 19 December 1984 in the English and Chinese languages, both texts being equally authentic.

people trust one another and are harmoniously united, providing for democracy and a stable political environment. 2. Our policy of a free economy with planned characteristics encourages private enterprise and stimulates the diligence of the people and the creativity of entrepreneurs. 3. The implementation of an excellent, universal educational system with everyone having equal access to education and the promotion of the development of science and technology have raised the productive power of the people. 4. [By] adhering to a policy of [providing] equal [access to] wealth, we have lessened the gap between rich and poor, enhanced social well-being, raised the quality of life, and created an equal and harmonious society. Question: What specific policies did your government adopt to promote this economic development? Answer: These can be divided into several stages: 1. In the early 1950s we first carried out currency reform, encouraging saving and successfully stabilizing the value of the currency and the price of commodities. Next, we implemented equitable land reform and adapted the strategy of developing both agriculture and industry equally, [thus] smoothly solving the unemployment problem. 2. At the end of the 1950s we successively reformed foreign exchange, trade, financial administartion, and banking and encouraged light industry, which already had a foundation to open up export markets. [All of these measures] caused industrial production and foreign trade to soar in the 1960s. 3. In the 1970s we methodically developed heavy industry and the chemical industry while improving basic infrastructure such as transportation and electricity, [thus] establishing an excellent foundation for economic growth and development. In addition, successive administrative reform measures such as extending compulsory education to nine years beginning in 1968 and actively encouraging foreign-trained students to return and serve the nation greatly enhanced the human resources needed for economic growth. 4. Now in the 1980s our policy is to emphasize the development of high-tech industry and the implementation of the requisite social and economic systemic reforms. At the same time, we strive to maintain the good quality of the environment to become a truly modern nation.

INTRODUCTION

Jiang Jingguo (Chiang Ching-kuo), son of Chiang Kai-shek, was president of the Republic of China on Taiwan from 1978 to his death in 1988. In this exerpt of a December 1985 interview with Readers Digest, he attributes Taiwans modern economic success to the implementation of Sun Yatsens Three Peoples Principles and comments unfavorably on the record of the Communist regime on the mainland.

Question: How did the Republic of China achieve its remarkable economic development? Answer: The basic reasons for the success of our nations economic development are: 1. We advocate freedom and democracy and hold fast to a constitutional system. The government and the

Another Discussion of One-Party Autocracy

Question: If the regime on the mainland were not communist, could it reach the same economic level as the Republic of China? Answer: I must first stress that as long as the Communists occupy the mainland, no matter what economic reforms they carry out they will be unable to become a noncommunist regime. Therefore, if the mainland wants to reach our economic level, it must abandon communism and adopt. The Three Peoples Principles. If it can do this, considering the size and great human and material resources of the mainland, it would of course be able to attain the economic level of the Republic of China on Taiwan. This is why we have raised the slogan Unite China with The Three Peoples Principles.

realize policies to promote democracy and the rule of law adopted at the beginning of the republic. With more than thirty years of work [on Taiwan], the political situation is stable, the economy flourishing, and education universal. Consequently, the government, after carefully researching social change and the needs of the people, has decided to end martial law, lift the ban on political activities, and expand democratic, constitutional government in the near future.

INTRODUCTION

Since the founding of the Republic of China [in 1912], implementing democratic, constitutional government has been the goal of our nation. Unfortunately, because of frequent domestic and foreign turmoil, constitutional government could not be realized until 1947. It had not been in force for even two years when the Communists seized the mainland. In order to prevent Communist military invasion and subversion after the government moved to Taiwan in 1949, we declared martial law on Taiwan and [the offshore islands of] Penghu, Jinmen, and Mazu to protect national security and guarantee a secure environment for the constitution. The facts clearly show that the scope of martial law was extremely limited and had little effect on the peoples daily life and basic rights. Moreover, the government on Taiwan, Penghu, Jinmen, and Mazu worked steadily and vigorously to promote democratic, constitutional government. The recent decision by the government to end martial law and lift the ban on political activities seeks to
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

China, it has been said, is following a capitalist road under the guise of socialism. Indeed, this is socialism with Chinese characteristics: a handful of people have monopolized the political power of the central government and have been exercising a one-party dictatorship. . . . In this system, in order to secure their rule in perpetuity, this small group is allowed to manipulate the law as they please and rape the peoples will. They can appoint their sons or grandsons to important offices, put the mass media under full control, and adopt an obscurantist policy of lying to the people. Or they may grant a portion of their power to yes men, making them agree to be chained, so as to put chains on others. In this system, they are able to ask the people of the whole nation to follow the Four Cardinal Principles [adherence to the socialist path, the leadership of the Communist Party, MarxismLeninismMao Tsetung Thought, and the peoples democratic dictatorship]. Now, consider only one of the Four Cardinal Principles, uphold the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party. It has fooled generations of Chinese people, and has left them with a very deep and strong inertia. Do whatever the Party asks you to do. This motto is a precise manifestation of the benightedness of the Chinese. And others such as one hundred thousand people, all of

Reflections on the Chinese Communist Party

one mind, or ten thousand people with only one head are but fairy tales from the Arabian Nights. A person with any sense of independence should have his own mind and own views, and should not blindly follow someone elses instructions. We may give full support to the correct leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, but we may of course choose not to follow misguided leadership. Changing the first of the Four Cardinal Principles to: Support the correct leadership of the Chinese Communist Party would, I feel, make it more appropriate. The world of the future will be a pluralistic world, a world of coexistence; in that world, a hundred schools of thought will be able to contend in cultural and art forums, and many economic systems will be able to exist side by side. Thus, to claim that unified leadership [under the Party] is the only type of political system required undoubtedly violates laws of common sense. The Party has coined the euphemism of the coexistence of pluralism with unified leadership. Such a creature is really hard to understand; pluralism in the hand of one-party leadership is like a free man dancing in chains. If we do want democracy, it is necessary that we destroy the one-party autocracy or establish genuine democratic institutions capable of truly representing the interests of all social strata (such as nongovernment-controlled labor unions). And if we want democracy and freedom, the only thing to do is to give legislative power to the people. Only by following the principle of legislation by the people can there be true freedom of press and true freedom of speech. I believe that the only way to change the current political situation in China is to fight for democracyto emphasize that all people are equal before the law, and that no one is above the law. Political change requires that the right of legislation truly belong to the people. It means that laws will not be made by a small handful of government officials, and that they shall reflect the common will of the people. The primary objective of legislation is freedom and equality. Only when people equally abide by laws that reflect their common wishes can there be freedom. Only when genuine rule by law replaces rule by autocracy, which is monarchy in disguise, can there be genuine democracy, and can it be possible for our society to overcome the defects of feudalism. The government is only an administrator of the peoples sovereign will, an institution to which the people grant administrative power and entrust law enforcement power. If the National Peoples Congress is truly to reflect the peoples will, the electoral procedures for its representatives must be changed. In the absence of a genuine peoples supervisory organ, a government [with unchecked power to] implement the law will become corrupt.

REFLECTIONS ON THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY


SOURCE

Minzhu Han, ed. Cries for Democracy: Writings and Speeches from the 1989 Chinese Democracy Movement, 145148. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1990.

INTRODUCTION

The excerpted text reprinted below, appearing in an anonymous big character poster from the student movement in the Beijing Spring of 1989, attacks the dominance of the Chinese Communist Party and its lack of answerability. These reflections insist that China is not a democracy and suggest that citizens have no obligation to support a political party that has not been chosen by the people. Such ideas alarmed the Communist Party and eventually led it to condemn the movement as counter-revolutionary.

[Turning] now to its organizational principles and methodology, the Chinese Communist Party has been an excellent carrier of the genes for dictatorship and bureaucracy; the latter is not only a true-to-the-original copy of the former but also its logical extension. Today, after so many years, the Party still maintains the organizational form that existed when our nation had not yet been founded, a structure shaped by security considerations and based on military models. [This structure] stipulates that the individual obeys the organization, subordinates obey their superiors, the entire Party obeys the Central Committee, and the Central Committee obeys one person (or a few persons). In short, to obey orders is a duty. How could this type of closed organization be anything but a breeding ground for dictatorships, patriarchies, and personality cults? Ours is a case of absolute nondemocracy (at times, the dictatorship of a single individual is realized through the tyranny of the majority, such as the Cultural Revolution and the downfall of Hu Yaobang), and all the dictatorships in China originate from within the Party (as in the case of Mao as well as Hua Guofeng). In a country such as ours, it is not at all surprising that, under the lengthy centralized leadership of a single party which founded itself on such principles and methods, dictatorship and bureaucracy should arise again and again. Nowadays, many people are placing their hopes in the possibility that one or two wise and capable individuals might arise from within the Party. The idea is absolutely terrifying; have we not had enough of handing over
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

284

Hunger Strike Manifesto

the lives of a billion people to one or two leaders? So many times has the Party said the simple phrase: in the end, our great Party always brings order to chaos, but this is nothing but [a justification for] at the cost of several decades of their lives for hundreds of millions of people (half their lives); the cost of the lives of hundreds and thousands of others, and the cost of pushing history back several decades, or several hundreds of years (as did the Cultural Revolution in China, and Stalinist revisionism in the Soviet Union). Now, if a party has been committing unpardonable errors for most of its time, and yet we continue to place the fate of a billion people into its hands instead of their own, how does it differ from gambling? The Communist Party has always loved to drag out in the open a handful of persons outside its ranks. Why doesnt it expose the large handful within the Party itself? If 80 percent of the [nearly forty-seven million] Party members are good (and the standard for goodness is here measured by the ethical standards ordinary citizens ought to possess), how about the other 20 percent? Can nearly ten million people not be considered a large handful? . . . When it comes to the political structure of the entire country, the Communist Party holds a rather dubious position. It was announced on October 1, 1949 [upon the founding of the Peoples Republic], that all the power resides in the people and in the National Peoples Congress composed of peoples representatives, and that daily administrative affairs are the domain of the government. However, up to the present day in China we still have a system of unified leadership under the Party. The Party, instead of establishing its political program through national elections, and instead of having its will expressed through the mechanism of the National Peoples Congress, has placed itself high above what the Constitution has designated as the supreme organ of state power the National Peoples Congressand the supreme administrative bodythe State Council. If the National Peoples Congress and the State Council are its machines, whats the point of adding the word supreme to them? And if the representative assembly that the people has elected is only the Partys machine, isnt the phrase all power resides with the people superfluous? Better just to get it over with and acknowledge that all power lies in the Party and the Partys Gestapo. Indeed, when a few statements of a certain individual from the Party, who is neither an organ of state power nor an administrative body, can for a few years determine the directions or policy decisions of a country, does this not alarm us and make us bristle with anger? . . . It is not that our nation does not need a nucleus; what is crucial is that this nucleus be chosen by the people. If a party or an organization has the people on its side, the people will elect it to power and make it possible for it to carry out its program. In brief, everything must be chosen by the people.
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

If, let us say, a citizen who has no right to speak up and express his opinions has no obligation to obey his government, then the people will have no need or obligation to support or heed a political party which, claiming as it may to represent the people, is totally devoid of a conscience and which has not been chosen by the people. We should recognize that the people and the national government come first and that the Party comes last. It is absolutely not the other way round, where we recognize not the people and the government but a Party which represents nothing at all! May 17, 1989 (big-character poster at Beijing University)

HUNGER STRIKE MANIFESTO

Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1990. Students first occupied Tiananmen Square with their demands for political reform and democracy on May 4, 1989. For a month demonstrators came and went, and there were speeches, discussions, teach-ins, and hunger strikes. The hunger strike manifesto issued by four well-known figures on June 2 argued that this was not merely a student movement, pleading for a new political culture and advocating only peaceful means to achieve change. Two days later the occupation of Tiananmen was brought to an end with extraordinary violence by the Peoples Liberation Army.

INTRODUCTION

We are on a hunger strike! We protest! We appeal! We repent! Death is not what we seek; we are searching for true life. In the face of the irrational, high-handed military violence of the Li Peng government, Chinese intellectuals must dispose of their age-old disease, passed down over centuries, of being spineless, of merely speaking and not acting. By means of action, we protest against military control; by means of action, we call for the birth of a new political culture; and by means of action, we express our repentance for the wrongs that have been the doing of our own age-old weakness. The Chinese nation has fallen behind; for this, each one of us bears his share of responsibility. . . . Our hunger strike is no longer a petition, but a protest against martial law and military control! We advocate the use of peaceful means to further democratization

Hunger Strike Manifesto

in China and to oppose any form of violence. Yet we do not fear brute force; through peaceful means, we will demonstrate the resilience of the democratic strength of the people, and smash the undemocratic order held together by bayonets and lies. . . . The thousands of years of Chinese history have been a story of violence met with violence, of learning to hate and to be hated. Entering the modern era, this enemy consciousness [where one separates the enemy from the people] has become the legacy of the Chinese. The post1949 slogan: Take class struggle as the key link [to all human struggles and as the motive force of history] has pushed to the extreme this traditional mentality of hatred, this enemy consciousness, and the practice of meeting violence with violence. This time, the imposition of military control is but another manifestation of the political culture of class struggle. It is because of this that we are on a hunger strike; we appeal to the Chinese people that from now on they gradually discard and eradicate [our] enemy consciousness and mentality of hatred, and completely forsake [our] class struggle form of political culture, for hatred generates only violence and autocracy. We must use a democratic spirit of tolerance and cooperation to begin the construction of democracy in China. For democratic politics is a politics without enemies and without a mentality of hatred, a politics of consultation, discussion, and decision by vote, based on mutual respect, mutual tolerance, and mutual accommodation. Since as Premier, Li Peng has made grave mistakes, he should be made to resign according to democratic processes. However, Li Peng is not our enemy; even if he steps down, he would still enjoy the rights that citizens should have, even the right to adhere to his mistaken beliefs. We appeal to all Chinese, from those in the government down to every ordinary citizen, to give up the old political culture and begin a new one. We ask that the government end martial law at once. We ask that both the students and the government once again turn to peaceful negotiation and consultative dialogue to resolve their differences. The present student movement has received an unprecedented amount of sympathy, understanding, and support from all sectors of society. The implementation of martial law has turned a student movement into a national democracy movement. Undeniable, however, is the fact that many of those who have supported the students have acted out of humanitarian sympathy and discontent with the government; they have lacked a citizens sense of political responsibility. Because of this, we appeal to all [members] of [Chinese] society gradually to drop the attitude of [merely] being onlookers and simply expressing sympathy. We appeal to you to acquire a sense of citizen consciousness. First of all, this citizen consciousness is the awareness that [all citizens] possess

political rights. Every citizen must have the self-confidence that ones own political rights are equal to the rights of the Premier. Next, citizen consciousness is a consciousness of rationalized political involvementof political responsibilitynot just a sense of justice and sympathy. It means that every man or woman cannot only express sympathy and support, but also must become directly involved in the construction of democracy. Finally, citizen consciousness means self-awareness of ones responsibilities and obligations. In the construction of social politics bound by rationality and law, every one of us must contribute his part; likewise, where social politics are irrational and lawless, each bears his share of responsibility. Voluntary participation in the political life of society and voluntary acceptance of ones responsibilities are the inescapable duties of every citizen. The Chinese people must see that, in democratized politics, everyone is first and foremost a citizen, and then a student, a professor, a worker, a cadre, or a soldier. For thousands of years, Chinese society has followed a vicious cycle of overthrowing an old emperor just to put up a new one. History has shown that the fall of a leader who has lost the peoples support or the rise of a leader who has the backing of the people cannot solve Chinas essential political problem. What we need is not a perfect savior, but a sound democratic system. We thus call for the following: (1) all [sectors of] society should establish lawful, autonomous citizens organizations, and gradually develop these organizations into citizens political forces that will act to check government policy making, for the quintessence of democracy is the curbing and balancing of power. We would rather have ten monsters that are mutually restrained than one angel of absolute power; (2) by impeaching leaders who have committed serious errors, [we should] gradually establish a sound system for the impeachment of officials. Whoever rises and whoever falls is not important; what is important is how one ascends to, or falls from, power. An undemocratic procedure of appointment and dismissal can only result in dictatorship. In the course of the present movement, both the government and the students have made mistakes. The main mistake of the government was that, conditioned by the outmoded political ideology of class struggle, it has chosen to take a stand in opposition to [the position of] the great majority of students and residents, thus causing continuous intensification of the conflict. The main mistake of the students is that, because the organizing of their own organizations left much to be desired, many undemocratic elements have appeared in the very process of striving for democracy. We therefore call on both the government and students to conduct levelheaded self-examination. It is our belief that, on the whole, the greater fault for the present situation lies with
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

286

Hunger Strike Manifesto

the government. Actions such as demonstrations and hunger strikes are democratic ways through which people express their wishes; they are completely legal and reasonable. They are anything but turmoil. Yet the government ignored the basic rights of the people granted by the Constitution; on the basis of its autocratic political ideology, it labeled the student movement as turmoil. This stand led to a series of wrong decisions, which then led to the growth of the movement and rising antagonism. The real catalyst for the turmoil is therefore the governments wrong decisions, errors of a gravity no less than [those committed in] the Cultural Revolution. It was only due to the great restraint shown by the students and people of Beijing and to impassioned appeals from all sectors of societyincluding the Party, the government, and the militarythat wide-scale bloodshed has been avoided. In view of this, the government must admit to and examine these mistakes it has made. We believe that it is not yet too late to correct the mistakes. The government should draw some painful lessons from this major movement. It should learn to become accustomed to listening to the voice of the people, to allowing people to express their desires through the exercise of the constitutionally granted rights, and to governing the country in a democratic way. This nationwide movement for democracy is a lesson for the government in how to govern society by means of democracy and the rule of law. The students mistakes are mainly manifested in the internal chaos of their organizations and the lack of efficient and democratic procedures. Although their goal is democracy, their means and procedures for achieving democracy are not democratic. Their theories call for democracy, but their handling of specific problems is not democratic. Their lack of cooperative spirit and the secretarianism that has caused their forces to neutralize each other have resulted in all their policies coming to naught. More faults can be named: financial chaos; material waste; an excess of emotion and a lack of reason; too much of the attitude that they are privileged, and not enough of the belief in equality; and so on. In the last hundred years, the great majority of the Chinese peoples struggles for democracy has remained at the level of ideological battles and slogan shouting. Enlightenment is much talked about, but little is said about the actual running of a democracy. Goals are discussed, but not the means, the procedures, or process through which they will be achieved. We believe that the actual realization of a democratic political system lies in the democratization of the process, means, and procedures of operating such a system. For this, we appeal to the Chinese people to forsake this tradition of empty democracy, a democracy of only ideology, slogans, and [abstract] goals, and begin the construction of the process, means, and procedures for the operation of a democracy. We ask you to
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

transform a democratic movement focused on ideological enlightenment into a movement of democracy in action; this must be done by starting with each specific matter. We call for the students to begin a self-examination that should focus on the overhaul and reorganization of the student groups in Tiananmen Square. The governments grave mistakes in its approach were also reflected in its use of the term a handful of persons [to refer to participants in pro-democracy protests]. Through our hunger strike, we would like to tell the media, home and abroad, who this so-called handful of persons [really] are: they are not [a bunch of] students, but citizens with a sense of political responsibility who have voluntarily participated in the present nationwide democratic movement led by the students. All we have done and all we are doing is lawful and reasonable. In this combat of opposing political cultures, of character cultivation and of moral strength, the hunger strikers intend to use their wisdom and actions to make the government feel shamed, to make it admit and correct its wrongdoings. We also intend to encourage the autonomous student organizations to improve themselves daily in accordance with democratic and legal procedures. It must be acknowledged that democratic governance of the country is unfamiliar to every Chinese citizen. And every Chinese citizen, including the highest officials in the Party and the government, must learn it from the bottom up. In this learning process, mistakes by both the government and the people are inevitable. The key is to admit mistakes when they become evident and to correct them after they appear; to learn from our mistakes and turn them into positive lessons; and, during the continuous process of rectifying our mistakes, to learn gradually how to govern the country democratically. We dont have enemies! Dont let hatred and violence poison wisdom and the process of democratization in China! We all must carry out a self-examination! Everyone bears responsibility for the backwardness of China! We are above all citizens! We are not seeking death! We are searching for true life!

The Truth about the Beijing Turmoil

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE BEIJING TURMOIL


SOURCE

The Truth about the Beijing Turmoil. Edited by the Editorial Board of the Truth about the Beijing Turmoil. Beijing Publishing House, 1990. http://www.tsquare.tv/ themes/truthturm.html. The massacre of students and other demonstrators in and near Tiananmen Square on the night of June 34, 1989, provoked horrified and indignant reactions all around the world. The decision to fire was even criticized by some in the Chinese leadership. The Chinese government attempted damage limitation by issuing its own statements and accounts, which always refer to the demonstrations and their suppression as turmoil, a pejorative term frequently also employed in official descriptions of the Cultural Revolution since the death of Mao.

INTRODUCTION

In 1989 when spring was passing to summer, a shocking turmoil happened in Beijing, which has attracted the close attention of people at home and abroad. Influenced by foreign media, people have many questions, guesses and misunderstandings. What really happened in China? What is the situation now like in Beijing? This album, with its abundant pictures, will help our readers understand the whole story of and truth about the turmoil and the present situation in Beijing. This turmoil was not a chance occurrence. It was a political turmoil incited by a very small number of political careerists after a few years of plotting and scheming. It was aimed at subverting the socialist Peoples Republic. By making use of some failings in the work of the Chinese government and the temporary economic difficulties, they spread far and wide many views against the Constitution, the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party and the Peoples Government, preparing the ground for the turmoil ideologically, organizationally and in public opinion. The former general secretary of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party Zhao Ziyang supported the turmoil and thus has unshirkable responsibility for its formation and development. The various political forces and reactionary organizations abroad had a hand in the turmoil from the very beginning. Some newspapers, magazines and broadcasting stations, especially the Voice of America, fabricated rumours to mislead people, thus adding fuel to the flames. When Hu Yaobang suddenly died on April 15, a handful of people, thinking that their time had come, stirred up a student upheaval on the pretext of mourning for Hu Yaobang. The student unrest had been taken advantage of by the organizers of the turmoil from the very

beginning. In violation of the Constitution, laws and regulations, some people put up big-character posters everywhere on the college campuses, preaching bourgeois liberalization and calling for the overthrow of the Communist Party and the legal government. They held many rallies, made speeches, boycotted classes and organized demonstrations, all without permission; they stormed the seat of the Party Central Committee and the State Council; they forcibly occupied the Tiananmen Square on many occasions and organized various illegal organizations without registration for approval. In Changsha, Xian and other cities, some people engaged in grave criminal activities such as beating, smashing, looting and burning stores, and even broke into the compounds of provincial government seats and set fire to the motor vehicles there. In view of this turmoil, the Peoples Daily issued, on April 26, an editorial exposing the nature of the turmoil. Even under this circumstance, the Party and the government exercised great restraint towards the students extremist slogans and actions and had all along given due recognition to the students patriotic enthusiasm and reasonable demands. At the same time, the Party and the government warned the students not to be made use of by a handful of people and expressed the hope for solving the problems through dialogues and by normal, democratic and legal procedures. However, on May 13, the illegal student organization started a general hunger strike involving over 3,000 people and lasting for seven days. Party and government leaders, on the one hand, went to see the fasting students at Tiananmen Square and met with students representatives on many occasions, asking them to value their lives and stop the hunger strike, and on the other hand, they lost no time in organizing on-the-spot rescue teams and providing all kinds of materials so as to relieve the suffering of the fasting students. Thanks to efforts of the government and other quarters. not a single student died in the hunger strike. But all this failed to win active response. On the contrary, some media, taking the cue from a small number of people, wrongly guided the public opinion, escalating the turmoil and throwing Beijing and even the whole country in a serious anarchic situation, something that cannot be tolerated in any other country. In Beijing, demonstrations were held continuously, slogans insulting and attacking leaders and openly calling for overthrowing the government could be heard and seen everywhere. The traffic was seriously congested and difficulties were created for Beijings production and daily supplies. The police was unable to keep normal social order. Gorbachevs schedules in China were also seriously hampered. The small handful of people attempted to take the chaos as an opportunity to seize political power and threatened to set up a new government in three days.

The Truth about the Beijing Turmoil

On May 19, the Party Central Committee held a meeting attended by cadres from the Party, government and military institutions in Beijing, At the meeting, Premier Li Peng and President of the Peoples Republic of China Yang Shangkun announced the decision to adopt resolute measures to stop the turmoil. But Zhao Ziyang, then general secretary of the Party Central Committee, refused to attend this important meeting. On May 20, Li Peng signed a martial law order as empowered by Clause 16 of Article 89 of the Constitution of the Peoples Republic of China. The martial law was to be enforced at 10 a.m. on the same day in parts of Beijing. The small handful of people took fright and coerced those residents who were in the dark about the truth to set up roadblocks at major crossroads to stop the advance of army vehicles and prevent the martial law enforcement troops from getting to designated places according to plan. Besides, they threatened to mobilize 200,000 people to occupy Tiananmen Square and organize a nation-wide general strike. Using the funds provided by reactionary forces at home and abroad, they installed sophisticated communication facilities and illegally purchased weapons. They gathered together hooligans and ruffians to set up terrorist organizations such as the Dare-to-Die Corps and the Flying Tiger Team, and threatened to kidnap or put Party and government leaders under house arrest. They offered high prices in recruiting thugs and fabricated rumours to deceive people. All the facts proved that, no matter how tolerant and restrained the government was, such people would not give up their wild scheme; on the contrary they threatened to fight to the end against the government. On the evening of June 2, a handful of people bent upon inciting a riot used a traffic accident to spread rumours and mislead people, lighting the fuse of a rebellion. In the small hours of June 3, rioters set up roadblocks at every crossroad, beat up soldiers and armed police, seized weapons, ammunition and other military materials. Mobs also assaulted the Great Hall of the People, the Central Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television and the west and south gates of Zhongnanhai, the seat of the Party Central Committee and the State Council. At about 5 p.m., the illegal organizations distributed kitchen knives, daggers and iron bars, to the crowd on Tiananmen Square and incited them to take up weapons and overthrow the government. A group of ruffians banded together about 1,000 people to push down the wall of a construction site near Xidan and seized large quantities of tools, reinforcing bars and bricks, ready for street fighting. They planned to incite people to take to the streets the next day, a Sunday, to
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

stage a violent rebellion in an attempt to overthrow the government and seize power at one stroke. At this critical juncture, the martial law troops were ordered to move in by force to quell the anti-government rebellion. At 6:30 p.m., on June 3, the Beijing municipal government and the headquarters of the martial law enforcement troops issued an emergency announcement, asking all citizens to keep off the streets and stay at home. The announcement was broadcast over and over again. At about 10 p.m., the martial law troops headed for Beijing proper from various directions. The rioters, taking advantage of the soldiers restraint, blocked military and other kinds of vehicles before they smashed and burned them. They also seized guns, ammunitions and transceivers. Several rioters seized an armoured car and fired guns as they drove it along the street. Rioters also assaulted civilian installations and public buildings. Several rioters even drove a public bus loaded with gasoline drums towards the Tiananmen gatetower in an attempt to set fire to it. At the same time, rioters savagely beat up, kidnapped and killed soldiers and officers. On the Changan Avenue, when a military vehicle suddenly broke down, rioters surrounded it and ferociously crushed the driver with bricks. At Fuchengmen, a soldiers body was hung heel over head on the overpass balustrade after he had been savagely killed. At Chongwenmen, another soldier was thrown down from the flyover and burned alive. Near a cinema, an officer was beaten to death, disembowelled and his eyes gouged out. His body was then strung up on a burning bus. Over 1,280 vehicles were burned or damaged in the rebellion, including over 1,000 military trucks, more than 60 armoured cars, over 30 police cars, over 120 public buses and trolley buses and over 70 motor vehicles of other kinds. More than 6,000 martial law officers and soldiers were injured and scores of them killed. Such heavy losses are eloquent testimony to the restraint and tolerance shown by the martial law enforcement troops. For fear of injuring civilians by accident, they would rather endure humiliation and meet their death unflinchingly, although they had weapons in their hands. It can be said that there is no other army in the world that can exercise restraint to such an extent. The martial law troops, having suffered heavy casualties and been driven beyond forbearance, were forced to fire into the air to clear the way forward. During the counter-attack, some rioters were killed, some onlookers were hit by stray bullets and some wounded or killed by armed ruffians. According to reliable statistics, more than 3,000 civilians were wounded and over 200, including 36 college students, were killed. At 1:30 a.m. on June 4, the Beijing municipal government and the martial law headquarters issued an

289

White Paper on Human Rights, Preface

emergency notice asking all students and other citizens to leave Tiananmen Square. The notice was broadcast repeatedly for well over three hours over loudspeakers. The students on Tiananmen Square, after discussion among themselves, sent representatives to the troops to express their willingness to withdraw from the square and this was approved by the troops. Then at about 5 a.m., several thousand students left the square in an orderly manner through a wide corridor in the southeastern part of the square vacated by the troops, carrying their own banners and streamers. Those who refused to leave were forced to leave by the soldiers. By 5:30 a.m., the clearing operation of the square had been completed. During the whole operation not a single person was killed. The allegations that Tiananmen Square was plunged into a bloodbath and thousands of people were killed in the square are sheer rumours, and the true state of affairs will eventually be clear to the public. After the decisive victory in quelling the riot, order in the capital was basically restored to normal and the situation throughout China soon became stable. The measures adopted by the Chinese government to stop the turmoil and put down the rebellion have not only won the acclaim and support of the Chinese people, but they have also won the understanding and support of the governments and people of many other countries. The Chinese government has announced that it will unswervingly carry on the policy of reform and opening to the outside world, the policy of developing friendly cooperation with different countries of the world on the basis of the five principles of peaceful coexistence, and the policy towards Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. We will continue to strive for the realization of the socialist modernization. We are fully confident of our future.

Rights in China (1995), Progress in Chinas Human Rights Cause in 1996 (1996), Fifty Years of Progress in Chinas Human Rights (2000), and Progress in Chinas Human Rights Cause in 2004 (2005). The following excerpt is from the Preface to the first White Paper on Human Rights in 1991.

It has been a long-cherished ideal of mankind to enjoy human rights in the full sense of the term. Since this great termhuman rightswas coined centuries ago, people of all nations have achieved great results in their unremitting struggle for human rights. However, on a global scale, modern society has fallen far short of the lofty goal of securing the full range of human rights for people the world over. And this is why numerous people with lofty ideals are still working determinedly for this cause. Under long years of oppression by the three big mountainsimperialism, feudalism and bureaucratcapitalismpeople in old China did not have any human rights to speak of. Suffering bitterly from this, the Chinese people fought for more than a century, defying death and personal sacrifices and advancing wave upon wave, in an arduous struggle to overthrow the three big mountains and gain their human rights. The situation in respect to human rights in China took a basic turn for the better after the founding of the Peoples Republic of China. Greatly treasuring this hard-won achievement, the Chinese government and people have spared no effort to safeguard human rights and steadily improve their human rights situation, and have achieved remarkable results. This has won full confirmation and fair appraisal from all people who have a real understanding of Chinese conditions and who are not prejudiced. The issue of human rights has become one of great significance and common concern in the world community. The series of declarations and conventions adopted by the United Nations have won the support and respect of many countries. The Chinese government has also highly appraised the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, considering it the first international human rights document that has laid the foundation for the practice of human rights in the world arena. However, the evolution of the situation in regard to human rights is circumscribed by the historical, social, economic and cultural conditions of various nations, and involves a process of historical development. Owing to tremendous differences in historical background, social system, cultural tradition and economic development, countries differ in their understanding and practice of human rights. From their different situations, they have taken different attitudes towards the relevant UN conventions. Despite its international aspect, the issue of human rights falls by and large within the sovereignty of each country. Therefore, a

WHITE PAPER ON HUMAN RIGHTS, PREFACE


INTRODUCTION

The Chinese government is very sensitive to international criticism of its human rights record and has reacted especially strongly to the United States tabling of critical draft resolutions in the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. Beginning in 1991, often in response to such criticism, the State Council Information Office has published at least 18 white papers on human rights and related subjects emphasizing aspects of Chinas human rights work such as success in feeding and educating its population, its efforts to guarantee the rights of women and children, and to establish gender and ethnic equality. The major titles were: Human Rights in China (1991),The Progress of Human

The Taiwan Question and Reunification of China

countrys human rights situation should not be judged in total disregard of its history and national conditions, nor can it be evaluated according to a preconceived model or the conditions of another country or region. Such is the practical attitude, the attitude of seeking truth from facts. From their own historical conditions, the realities of their own country and their long practical experience, the Chinese people have derived their own viewpoints on the human rights issue and formulated relevant laws and policies. It is stipulated in the Constitution of the Peoples Republic of China that all power in the Peoples Republic of China belongs to the people. Chinese human rights have three salient characteristics. First, extensiveness. It is not a minority of the people or part of a class or social stratum but the entire Chinese citizenry who constitutes the subject enjoying human rights. The human rights enjoyed by the Chinese citizenry encompass an extensive scope, including not only survival, personal and political rights, but also economic, cultural and social rights. The state pays full attention to safeguarding both individual and collective rights. Second, equality. China has adopted the socialist system after abolishing the system of exploitation and eliminating the exploiting classes. The Chinese citizenry enjoys all civic rights equally irrespective of the money and property status as well as of nationality, race, sex, occupation, family background, religion, level of education and duration of residence. Third, authenticity. The state provides guarantees in terms of system, laws and material means for the realization of human rights. The various civic rights prescribed in the Constitution and other state laws are in accord with what people enjoy in real life. Chinas human rights legislation and policies are endorsed and supported by the people of all nationalities and social strata and by all the political parties, social organizations and all walks of life. As a developing country, China has suffered from setbacks while safeguarding and developing human rights. Although much has been achieved in this regard, there is still much room for improvement. It remains a long-term historical task for the Chinese people and government to continue to promote human rights and strive for the noble goal of full implementation of human rights as required by Chinas socialism. . . .

document that is excerpted below, works directly under the State Council and is responsible for all matters connected to Taiwan. The offer of one country, two systems meant that in the event of reunification Taiwan would preserve internal autonomythe arrangement that was made for Hong Kong after its return to Chinese sovereignty in 1997.

FOREWORD

It is the sacred right of each and every sovereign State and a fundamental principle of international law to safeguard national unity and territorial integrity. The Charter of the United Nations specifically stipulates that the United Nations and its Members shall refrain from any action against the territorial integrity or political independence of any of its Members or any State and shall not intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any State. The United Nations Declaration on Principles of International Law Concerning Friendly Relations and Co-operation Among States in Accordance with the Charter of the United Nations points out that any attempt aimed at the partial or total disruption of the national unity, territorial integrity or political independence of a State or country is incompatible with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. The modern history of China was a record of subjection to aggression, dismemberment and humiliation by foreign powers. It was also a chronicle of the Chinese peoples valiant struggles for national independence and in defense of their state sovereignty, territorial integrity and national dignity. The origin and evolution of the Taiwan question are closely linked with that period of history. For various reasons Taiwan is still separated from the mainland. Unless and until this state of affairs is brought to an end, the trauma on the Chinese nation will not be healed and the Chinese peoples struggle for national reunification and territorial integrity will continue. What is the present state of the Taiwan question? What is the crux of the problem? What are the position and views of the Chinese Government regarding the settlement of this issue? In order to facilitate a better understanding by the international community, it is necessary to elucidate the following points. . . .
III. THE CHINESE GOVERNMENTS BASIC POSITION REGARDING SETTLEMENT OF THE TAIWAN QUESTION

THE TAIWAN QUESTION AND REUNIFICATION OF CHINA


INTRODUCTION

Chinas reform leadership maintained the position that Taiwan was an inalienable part of China and the country should one day be reunited. The Taiwan Affairs Office, which issued the 1993

To settle the Taiwan question and achieve national reunificationthis is a sacrosanct mission of the entire Chinese people. The Chinese Government has persistently worked towards this end since the founding of

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

291

The Taiwan Question and Reunification of China

the Peoples Republic. Its basic position on this question is: peaceful reunification; one country, two systems. Peaceful reunification; one country, two systems how has this position been formulated? The Chinese Government conceived a peaceful settlement of the Taiwan question as early as in the 1950s. In May 1955 the late Premier Zhou Enlai said at an NPC Standing Committee meeting that two alternatives were open to the Chinese people for the solution of the Taiwan questionby resort to war or by peaceful means. The Chinese people would strive for a peaceful solution wherever possible, he affirmed. In April 1956 the late Chairman Mao Zedong put forward thoughts for policymaking such as peace is the best option, all patriots are of one family and it is never too late to join the ranks of patriots. However, those wishes have not come to fruition for reasons such as interference by foreign forces. Major changes took place in and outside China in the 1970s. Diplomatic ties were established and relations normalized between China and the United States. The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to shift the focus of the work of the Party and the State to the economic modernization programme. In the meantime, people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits, compatriots of Hong Kong and Macao as well as overseas Chinese and people of Chinese descent all expressed their fervent hope that the two sides of the Straits would join hands to work for a resurgence of China. It was against this historical background that the Chinese Government formulated the position of peaceful reunification; one country, two systems. The position takes the overall national interests and the future of the country into consideration. It respects history as well as the prevailing situation. It is realistic and takes care of the interests of all. . . . Basic Contents of peaceful reunification; one country, two systems. This position is an important component of the theory and practice of building socialism with Chinese characteristics and a fundamental state policy of the Chinese Government which will not change for a long time to come. Its basic contents are as follows: 1. Only one China. There is only one China in the world, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China and the seat of Chinas central government is in Beijing. This is a universally recognized fact as well as the premise for a peaceful settlement of the Taiwan question. The Chinese Government is firmly against any words or deeds designed to split Chinas sovereignty and territorial integrity. It opposes two Chinas, one China, one Taiwan, one country, two governments or any attempt or act that could

lead to independence of Taiwan. The Chinese people on both sides of the Straits all believe that there is only one China and espouse national reunification. Taiwans status as an inalienable part of China has been determined and cannot be changed. Self-determination for Taiwan is out of the question. 2. Coexistence of two systems. On the premise of one China, socialism on the mainland and capitalism on Taiwan can coexist and develop side by side for a long time without one swallowing up the other. This concept has largely taken account of the actual situation in Taiwan and practical interests of our compatriots there. It will be a unique feature and important innovation in the state system of a reunified China. After reunification, Taiwans current socio-economic system, its way of life as well as economic and cultural ties with foreign countries can remain unchanged. Private property, including houses and land, as well as business ownership, legal inheritance and overseas Chinese and foreign investments on the island will all be protected by law. 3. A high degree of autonomy. After reunification, Taiwan will become a special administrative region. It will be distinguished from the other provinces or regions of China by its high degree of autonomy. It will have its own administrative and legislative powers, an independent judiciary and the right of adjudication on the island. It will run its own party, political, military, economic and financial affairs. It may conclude commercial and cultural agreements with foreign countries and enjoy certain rights in foreign affairs. It may keep its military forces and the mainland will not dispatch troops or administrative personnel to the island. On the other hand, representatives of the government of the special administrative region and those from different circles of Taiwan may be appointed to senior posts in the central government and participate in the running of national affairs. 4. Peace negotiations. It is the common aspiration of the entire Chinese people to achieve reunification of the country by peaceful means through contacts and negotiations. People on both sides of the Straits are all Chinese. It would be a great tragedy for all if Chinas territorial integrity and sovereignty were to be split and its people were to be drawn into a fratricide. Peaceful reunification will greatly enhance the cohesion of the Chinese nation. It will facilitate Taiwans socio-economic stability and development and promote the resurgence and prosperity of China as a whole. . . .

CONCLUSION

Reunification of the country embodies the fundamental interest of the Chinese nation. After national reunification the two sides of the Taiwan Straits can pool their resources and make common cause in economic development and work towards Chinas resurgence. Numerous problems that have been besetting Taiwan would be judiciously resolved within the framework of one China. Taiwan compatriots will share the pride and glory of a great nation with their kith and kin from the other parts of the motherland.

MARRIAGE LAW OF THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CHINA


INTRODUCTION

makes parents responsible for any damage to property done by their children. With an aging population the state has become concerned about the cost of care for the elderly. While the 1950 law mentioned only the obligation of parents to care for their children, the 1980 version made grandparents responsible for grandchildren when parents were dead and made children responsible for parents and grandparents when people of the older generation were unable to care for themselves. Citizens also have an obligation to care for their siblings who are unable to support themselves. The All-China Womens Federation was involved in the drafting of the law and in publicizing it and promoting its implementation.

Marriage law in China is in effect family law. It is interesting because it shows what the Communist Party regards as desirable in family relations and what it sees as undesirable. The first marriage law of the Peoples Republic of China came into force in 1950. The law was concerned to establish free choice monogamous marriage based on equality between men and women. Minimum ages for marriage at 18 for women and 20 for men were high by international standards because it was believed that this would help young people to avoid being coerced into unwanted matches by their parents. Women could keep their own surnames after marriage and children could take the surname of either their father or their mother. Both this law and subsequent texts expressly forbade infanticide. Current marriage law is based on a new and more detailed law adopted in 1980 and amended in 2001. It still reflects the major concerns of the 1950 law but there are some interesting changes and additions based on more contemporary social problems. Minimum age for marriage was raised to 20 for women and 22 for men, as late marriage is thought to contribute to lower birthrate. Married couples were required to practice family planning. More detail on property regimes in marriage, on inheritance and on the disposition of property after divorce reflected increasing prosperity and a rising divorce rate. Domestic violence is mentioned in the 2001 amendments, probably as a result of the influence of Western feminism. The treatment of cases of the abduction of women is considered. This became a problem in China beginning in the 1990s as in some areas the demand for brides exceeded the supply of women, and weakened social and political control made it easier to get away with such crime. A concern for vandalism can be discerned in the clause that

Adopted at the Third Session of the Fifth National Peoples Congress on September 10, 1980, and amended in accordance with Decision Regarding the Amendment (of Marriage Law of the Peoples Republic of China) passed at the 21st Session of the Standing Committee of the Ninth National Peoples Congress on April 28, 2001.

JIANG ZEMINS SPEECH AT THE MEETING CELEBRATING THE 80th ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDING OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA
INTRODUCTION

The First Congress of the Chinese Communist Party was held in Shanghai in 1921. The delegates first met in a small store in the French concession and then, fearing a police raid, fled to a houseboat on a lake near Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Scholars dispute the exact date of the founding but in China July 1 is always celebrated as the Partys birthday. The 80th anniversary of the founding was celebrated with considerable official pomp. Jiang Zemin, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, delivered a speech (excerpted below) at a grand gathering at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing held on July 1, 2001 to emphasize the Partys achievements and the continuation of its leading role.

Article 50 The peoples congresses in national autonomous areas shall have the right to formulate certain adaptations in the light of the specific conditions of the local nationalities in regard to marriage and family. Provisions of

Comrades and Friends, We gather here today at this grand rally to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China together with the people of all ethnic groups across the country, and look to the bright future of the development of China and the rest of the world along with all people on earth who love peace and pursue progress. The Communist Party of China had only some 50 members at its birth 80 years ago and what it faced was a calamity-ridden old China. But today, 80 years later, our Party has become a big party that has been in power for more than 50 years and has more than 64 million members and what the Chinese people see is a prosperous

socialist motherland. This tremendous change is a historic miracle in the development of the Chinese nation. Reviewing the course of struggle of the Party and the people in the last century, we feel exultant and infinitely proud. Looking into the great journey of the Party and the people ahead in the new century, we are filled with strength and confidence that we are bound to win. . . . From the Opium War to the founding of the Communist Party of China, and from the founding of the Party to the present, China has experienced two completely different periods of 80 years. In the first 80-year period, the feudal rulers surrendered the countrys sovereign rights under humiliating terms, the society was thrown into wars and chaos, the country became impoverished and weak and the people lived in hunger and cold. In the second 80-year period, the Chinese people, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, have got unprecedentedly united and organized, overcome numerous difficulties and won one victory after another in their revolutionary struggle. Since the founding of New China, the economy and society have developed rapidly; the country has become increasingly prosperous; the peoples social status, living standards and cultural and educational level have risen markedly. Through the comparison of the two periods, the Chinese people and all the patriotic forces in China have come to realize that it is precisely the leadership of the Communist Party of China that has enabled the country to materialize the great historical transformation. China has thus come out of the most miserable plight and is now heading for a bright future. Without the Communist Party, there would have been no New China. With the Communist Party, China has put on an entirely new look. This is the fundamental and most important conclusion drawn by the Chinese people from their long years of struggle. . . . To ensure that our Party forever represent the orientation of the development of Chinas advanced culture, it is imperative that the Partys theories, line, program, principles, policies and all its work should orient toward modernization, the world and the future, reflect the requirements of developing a national, scientific and popular socialist culture, serve to upgrade the ideological and ethical standards and scientific and cultural levels of the whole nation and provide spiritual and intellectual support for the economic development and social progress. Socialist society is one of all-round development and progress. The socialist modernization cause features a mutually supplementary and coordinated development of both material and spiritual civilizations. All comrades in the Party must have a comprehensive mastery of the dialectical relationship between the two civilizations and energetically promote socialist spiritual civilization while
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

advancing material civilization. In contemporary China, to develop an advanced culture means to develop a socialist culture with distinctive Chinese characteristics and build socialist spiritual civilization. We should have a firm grip on the development trend and requirements of Chinas advanced culture. We must never deviate from the guidance of MarxismLeninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory. We should base ourselves on the practice of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, have our eyes on the frontline of the world science and culture, and develop a healthy, progressive, rich and colorful socialist culture with Chinese styles and characteristics to meet the growing spiritual and cultural needs of the people, and guide people to arming themselves with correct thinking and ideas so as to improve their mental outlook. That is also the fundamental expression and requirement for our Party to remain in the forefront of the times and maintain its advanced nature. . . . Marxism is the fundamental guiding principle for the consolidation of the Party and the development of the country. It also constitutes the common theoretical foundation of the concerted efforts of the people of all ethnic groups. The fundamental tenets of Marxism must never be abandoned, otherwise we would get lost or come to failure in the pursuit of our cause due to a lack of a correct theoretical basis and ideological soul. That explains why we must always uphold the basic tenets of Marxism. In terms of theory, Marxism develops with the advance of the times. If we dogmatically cling to some individual theses and specific programs of action formulated for a special situation by authors of Marxist classics under the specific historical conditions in spite of the changes in historical conditions and present realities, we will have difficulty in forging ahead smoothly and we may even make mistakes because our thinking is divorced from reality. That is one reason why we have remained opposed to dogmatism toward the theory of Marxism. Our Party made mistakes and even suffered serious setbacks in some historical periods. The most important cause for that was the fact that the guiding ideology of the Party was divorced from Chinese reality at the time. It was after our Party restored and upheld the ideological line of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts that the Party corrected its mistakes, overcame its setbacks and forged ahead triumphantly by relying on the strengths of itself and the people. The experience and lessons our Party has in this regard have been reviewed systematically in its Resolution on Certain Questions in the History of Our Party and Resolution on Certain Questions in the History of Our Party Since the Founding of the Peoples Republic of China. These are something that we must never forget. All comrades in the Party must uphold the scientific principles and

299

Anti-Secession Law

spirit of Marxism, put changes in the right perspective and sum up fresh experience that people have gained from practice, so as to constantly enrich and develop the theory of Marxism. . . . The main criterion to judge the nature of a political party is its theory and program. If it is Marxist and represents the correct orientation of social development and the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, the party is an advanced one and the vanguard of the working class. Our Party is a product of integration of Marxism-Leninism with the Chinese workers movement. The emergence of the working class is an essential condition for founding the Party. During the period of democratic revolution, given the social conditions then, most of our Party members came from peasants and other laborers, quite a few from intellectuals and some from other revolutionaries of non-laborers background. But the theory and program of our Party were Marxist and represented the correct orientation of Chinas social development. Our Party attached great importance to building up the Party ideologically and persisted in educating and arming all Party members with Marxist theory. It required Party members to join the Party not just organizationally, but first of all ideologically. It gave them guidance as to how to achieve the Partys program and tasks. All these enabled the Party to keep its nature of being the vanguard of the working class. . . .

Article 2 There is only one China in the world. Both the mainland and Taiwan belong to one China. Chinas sovereignty and territorial integrity brook no division. Safeguarding Chinas sovereignty and territorial integrity is the common obligation of all Chinese people, the Taiwan compatriots included. Taiwan is part of China. The state shall never allow the Taiwan independence secessionist forces to make Taiwan secede from China under any name or by any means. Article 3 The Taiwan question is one that is left over from Chinas civil war of the late 1940s. Solving the Taiwan question and achieving national reunification is Chinas internal affair, which subjects to no interference by any outside forces. Article 4 Accomplishing the great task of reunifying the motherland is the sacred duty of all Chinese people, the Taiwan compatriots included. Article 5 Upholding the principle of one China is the basis of peaceful reunification of the country. To reunify the country through peaceful means best serves the fundamental interests of the compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits. The state shall do its utmost with maximum sincerity to achieve a peaceful reunification. After the country is reunified peacefully, Taiwan may practice systems different from those on the mainland and enjoy a high degree of autonomy. Article 6 The state shall take the following measures to maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits and promote cross-Straits relations: 1. to encourage and facilitate personnel exchanges across the Straits for greater mutual understanding and mutual trust; 2. to encourage and facilitate economic exchanges and cooperation, realize direct links of trade, mail and air and shipping services, and bring about closer economic ties between the two sides of the Straits to their mutual benefit; 3. to encourage and facilitate cross-Straits exchanges in education, science, technology, culture, health and sports, and work together to carry forward the proud Chinese cultural traditions;

ANTI-SECESSION LAW
INTRODUCTION

For decades, the Beijing government and the Guomindang government in Taiwan agreed that Taiwan was an integral part of China and looked forward to eventual reunification. The defeat of the Guomindang government and the election to the presidency of Chen Shui-bian, leader of the Democratic Progressive Party, in 2000 and again in 2004, caused alarm in Beijing. The fear that pro-independence sentiment was on the rise in Taiwan may have triggered the decision to draft the Anti-Secession Law setting out Beijings position on the islands status. The law was adopted at the Third Session of the Tenth National Peoples Congress Monday, March 13, 2005.

Article 1 This Law is formulated, in accordance with the Constitution, for the purpose of opposing and checking Taiwans secession from China by secessionists in the name of Taiwan independence, promoting peaceful national reunification, maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits, preserving Chinas sovereignty and territorial integrity, and safeguarding the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation.

4. to encourage and facilitate cross-Straits cooperation in combating crimes; and 5. to encourage and facilitate other activities that are conducive to peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits and stronger cross-Straits relations. The state protects the rights and interests of the Taiwan compatriots in accordance with law. Article 7 The state stands for the achievement of peaceful reunification through consultations and negotiations on an equal footing between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits. These consultations and negotiations may be conducted in steps and phases and with flexible and varied modalities. The two sides of the Taiwan Straits may consult and negotiate on the following matters: 1. officially ending the state of hostility between the two sides; 2. mapping out the development of cross-Straits relations; 3. steps and arrangements for peaceful national reunification; 4. the political status of the Taiwan authorities; 5. the Taiwan regions room of international operation that is compatible with its status; and 6. other matters concerning the achievement of peaceful national reunification. Article 8 In the event that the Taiwan independence secessionist forces should act under any name or by any means to cause the fact of Taiwans secession from China, or that major incidents entailing Taiwans secession from China should occur, or that possibilities for a peaceful reunification should be completely exhausted, the state shall employ non-peaceful means and other necessary measures to protect Chinas sovereignty and territorial integrity. The State Council and the Central Military Commission shall decide on and execute the non-peaceful means and other necessary measures as provided for in the preceding paragraph and shall promptly report to the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress. Article 9 In the event of employing and executing non-peaceful means and other necessary measures as provided for in this Law, the state shall exert its utmost to protect the lives, property and other legitimate rights and interests of Taiwan civilians and foreign nationals in Taiwan, and to

minimize losses. At the same time, the state shall protect the rights and interests of the Taiwan compatriots in other parts of China in accordance with law. Article 10 This Law shall come into force on the day of its promulgation.

CHARTER 08

INTRODUCTION

The manifesto, Charter 2008, signed by a group of more than 300 Chinese intellectuals, journalists, and rural activists, provided a blueprint for a free and democratic China where human rights, democracy and the rule of law would be paramount. Charter 08 took its name from Charter 77, the manifesto produced by Czech intellectuals in 1977 which demanded an alternative to Soviet-style communism. Like the signatories of the Czech document, the signatories of Charter 08 have been subjected to monitoring and arrest.

A hundred years have passed since the writing of Chinas first constitution. 2008 also marks the sixtieth anniversary of the promulgation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the thirtieth anniversary of the appearance of the Democracy Wall in Beijing, and the tenth of Chinas signing of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. We are approaching the twentieth anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen massacre of prodemocracy student protesters. The Chinese people, who have endured human rights disasters and uncountable struggles across these same years, now include many who see clearly that freedom, equality, and human rights are universal values of humankind and that democracy and constitutional government are the fundamental framework for protecting these values. By departing from these values, the Chinese governments approach to modernization has proven disastrous. It has stripped people of their rights, destroyed their dignity, and corrupted normal human intercourse. So we ask: Where is China headed in the twenty-first century? Will it continue with modernization under authoritarian rule, or will it embrace universal human values, join the mainstream of civilized nations, and build a democratic system? There can be no avoiding these questions. . . . [The] political reality, which is plain for anyone to see, is that China has many laws but no rule of law; it has

301

Charter 08

a constitution but no constitutional government. The ruling elite continues to cling to its authoritarian power and fights off any move toward political change. The stultifying results are endemic official corruption, an undermining of the rule of law, weak human rights, decay in public ethics, crony capitalism, growing inequality between the wealthy and the poor, pillage of the natural environment as well as of the human and historical environments, and the exacerbation of a long list of social conflicts, especially, in recent times, a sharpening animosity between officials and ordinary people. As these conflicts and crises grow ever more intense, and as the ruling elite continues with impunity to crush and to strip away the rights of citizens to freedom, to property, and to the pursuit of happiness, we see the powerless in our societythe vulnerable groups, the people who have been suppressed and monitored, who have suffered cruelty and even torture, and who have had no adequate avenues for their protests, no courts to hear their pleasbecoming more militant and raising the possibility of a violent conflict of disastrous proportions. The decline of the current system has reached the point where change is no longer optional. . . . [For] China the path that leads out of our current predicament is to divest ourselves of the authoritarian notion of reliance on an enlightened overlord or an honest official and to turn instead toward a system of liberties, democracy, and the rule of law, and toward fostering the consciousness of modern citizens who see rights as fundamental and participation as a duty. Accordingly, and in a spirit of this duty as responsible and constructive citizens, we offer the following recommendations on national governance, citizens rights, and social development: 1. A New Constitution. We should recast our present constitution, rescinding its provisions that contradict the principle that sovereignty resides with the people and turning it into a document that genuinely guarantees human rights, authorizes the exercise of public power, and serves as the legal underpinning of Chinas democratization. The constitution must be the highest law in the land, beyond violation by any individual, group, or political party. 2. Separation of Powers. We should construct a modern government in which the separation of legislative, judicial, and executive power is guaranteed. We need an Administrative Law that defines the scope of government responsibility and prevents abuse of administrative power. Government should be responsible to taxpayers. Division of power between provincial governments and the central government should adhere to the principle that central powers are

only those specifically granted by the constitution and all other powers belong to the local governments. 3. Legislative Democracy. Members of legislative bodies at all levels should be chosen by direct election, and legislative democracy should observe just and impartial principles. 4. An Independent Judiciary. The rule of law must be above the interests of any particular political party and judges must be independent. We need to establish a constitutional supreme court and institute procedures for constitutional review. As soon as possible, we should abolish all of the Committees on Political and Legal Affairs that now allow Communist Party officials at every level to decide politically sensitive cases in advance and out of court. We should strictly forbid the use of public offices for private purposes. 5. Public Control of Public Servants. The military should be made answerable to the national government, not to a political party, and should be made more professional. Military personnel should swear allegiance to the constitution and remain nonpartisan. Political party organizations must be prohibited in the military. All public officials including police should serve as nonpartisans, and the current practice of favoring one political party in the hiring of public servants must end. 6. Guarantee of Human Rights. There must be strict guarantees of human rights and respect for human dignity. There should be a Human Rights Committee, responsible to the highest legislative body, that will prevent the government from abusing public power in violation of human rights. A democratic and constitutional China especially must guarantee the personal freedom of citizens. No one should suffer illegal arrest, detention, arraignment, interrogation, or punishment. The system of Reeducation through Labor must be abolished. 7. Election of Public Officials. There should be a comprehensive system of democratic elections based on one person, one vote. The direct election of administrative heads at the levels of county, city, province, and nation should be systematically implemented. The rights to hold periodic free elections and to participate in them as a citizen are inalienable. 8. Rural-Urban Equality. The two-tier household registry system must be abolished. This system favors urban residents and harms rural residents. We should establish instead a system that gives every
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

302

Charter 08

citizen the same constitutional rights and the same freedom to choose where to live. 9. Freedom to Form Groups. The right of citizens to form groups must be guaranteed. The current system for registering nongovernment groups, which requires a group to be approved, should be replaced by a system in which a group simply registers itself. The formation of political parties should be governed by the constitution and the laws, which means that we must abolish the special privilege of one party to monopolize power and must guarantee principles of free and fair competition among political parties. 10. Freedom to Assemble. The constitution provides that peaceful assembly, demonstration, protest, and freedom of expression are fundamental rights of a citizen. The ruling party and the government must not be permitted to subject these to illegal interference or unconstitutional obstruction. 11. Freedom of Expression. We should make freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and academic freedom universal, thereby guaranteeing that citizens can be informed and can exercise their right of political supervision. These freedoms should be upheld by a Press Law that abolishes political restrictions on the press. The provision in the current Criminal Law that refers to the crime of incitement to subvert state power must be abolished. We should end the practice of viewing words as crimes. 12. Freedom of Religion. We must guarantee freedom of religion and belief, and institute a separation of religion and state. There must be no governmental interference in peaceful religious activities. We should abolish any laws, regulations, or local rules that limit or suppress the religious freedom of citizens. We should abolish the current system that requires religious groups (and their places of worship) to get official approval in advance and substitute for it a system in which registry is optional and, for those who choose to register, automatic. 13. Civic Education. In our schools we should abolish political curriculums and examinations that are designed to indoctrinate students in state ideology and to instill support for the rule of one party. We should replace them with civic education that advances universal values and citizens rights, fosters civic consciousness, and promotes civic virtues that serve society. 14. Protection of Private Property. We should establish and protect the right to private property and promote an economic system of free and fair markets. We should do away with government monopolies in
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHINA

commerce and industry and guarantee the freedom to start new enterprises. We should establish a Committee on State-Owned Property, reporting to the national legislature, that will monitor the transfer of state-owned enterprises to private ownership in a fair, competitive, and orderly manner. We should institute a land reform that promotes private ownership of land, guarantees the right to buy and sell land, and allows the true value of private property to be adequately reflected in the market. 15. Financial and Tax Reform. We should establish a democratically regulated and accountable system of public finance that ensures the protection of taxpayer rights and that operates through legal procedures. We need a system by which public revenues that belong to a certain level of governmentcentral, provincial, county or localare controlled at that level. We need major tax reform that will abolish any unfair taxes, simplify the tax system, and spread the tax burden fairly. Government officials should not be able to raise taxes, or institute new ones, without public deliberation and the approval of a democratic assembly. We should reform the ownership system in order to encourage competition among a wider variety of market participants. 16. Social Security. We should establish a fair and adequate social security system that covers all citizens and ensures basic access to education, health care, retirement security, and employment. 17. Protection of the Environment. We need to protect the natural environment and to promote development in a way that is sustainable and responsible to our descendants and to the rest of humanity. This means insisting that the state and its officials at all levels not only do what they must do to achieve these goals, but also accept the supervision and participation of nongovernmental organizations. 18. A Federated Republic. A democratic China should seek to act as a responsible major power contributing toward peace and development in the Asian Pacific region by approaching others in a spirit of equality and fairness. In Hong Kong and Macao, we should support the freedoms that already exist. With respect to Taiwan, we should declare our commitment to the principles of freedom and democracy and then, negotiating as equals and ready to compromise, seek a formula for peaceful unification. We should approach disputes in the national-minority areas of China with an open mind, seeking ways to find a workable framework within which all ethnic and religious groups can flourish. We should aim ultimately at a federation of democratic communities of China.

303

Charter 08

19. Truth in Reconciliation. We should restore the reputations of all people, including their family members, who suffered political stigma in the political campaigns of the past or who have been labeled as criminals because of their thought, speech, or faith. The state should pay reparations to these people. All political prisoners and prisoners of conscience must be released. There should be a Truth Investigation Commission charged with finding the facts about past injustices and atrocities, determining responsibility for them, upholding justice, and, on these bases, seeking social reconciliation.

China, as a major nation of the world, as one of five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, and as a member of the UN Council on Human Rights, should be contributing to peace for humankind and progress toward human rights. Unfortunately, we stand today as the only country among the major nations that remains mired in authoritarian politics. Our political system continues to produce human rights disasters and social crises, thereby not only constricting Chinas own development but also limiting the progress of all of human civilization. This must change, truly it must. The democratization of Chinese politics can be put off no longer.
