Reflections on China
FOREWORD
THE REVOLUTIONARY COMMUNISTS EXPECT CHINA TO COME OUT OPENLY AGAINST KHRUSHCHEVITE REVISIONISM
TIME IS WORKING FOR US, BUT TIME GOES VERY SLOWLY FOR THE CHINESE
THE CHINESE ARE GIVING KHRUSHCHEV A HAND
WHY ALL THESE WAVERINGS TOWARDS THE SOVIET REVISIONISTS?
THE CHINESE COMRADES CRITICIZE THE SOVIET REVISIONISTS
A DISGUISED SOVIET ATTACK AGAINST CHINA OVER ALBANIA
WOE BETIDE THOSE WHO FALL INTO THE REVISIONISTS’ TRAP!
TO CEASE THE IDEO-POLITICAL STRUGGLE MEANS TO ALLOW THE ENEMY TO HARM YOU
CHINA IS PROCEEDING ON A CENTRIST COURSE
TIME WILL TELL WHETHER WE ARE RIGHT
THE CHINESE ARE MOVING TOWARDS CONCILIATION WITH THE KHRUSHCHEVITES
WE SHALL PRESS ON. WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER
THIS SMELLS OF ECONOMIC PRESSURE. WE MUST GUARD AGAINST PROVOCATIONS!
THE CHINESE COMRADES ARE NOT DRAWING THE PROPER CONCLUSIONS FROM EVENTS IN THE WORLD
PRONOUNCED TENDENCIES TO SOFTENING, FEAR, AND PASSIVITY ARE APPEARING IN THE CHINESE LINE
PAJETTA1F LAUNCHED A HARSH ATTACK ON THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA
THE FIGHT AGAINST TRAITORS MUST BE WAGED OPENLY, STERNLY, AND WITHOUT COMPROMISE OVER PRINCIPLES
CHINA IS NOT ACTING WELL IN FAILING TO REPLY TO KHRUSHCHEV’S ATTACKS
WE HAVE DIFFERENCES OVER TACTICS WITH THE CHINESE COMRADES, AND THIS WE HAVE NOT HIDDEN FROM THEM
THE STANDS OF THE CHINESE COMRADES ARE IMPROPER IN SEVERAL DIRECTIONS
LI HSIEN-NIEN SAID THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT HE HAD SAID EARLIER ABOUT THE CONTRADICTIONS BETWEEN US
DEAD SILENCE IN CHINESE FOREIGN POLICY
ANOTHER STALE COMMUNIQUE
A MEETING WHICH WILL NOT YIELD ANY RESULT
TODAY THE CHINESE ARE SAYING ABOUT KHRUSHCHEV WHAT KHRUSHCHEV SAID YESTERDAY ABOUT TITO
THE CHINESE DO NOT FULLY REALIZE WHAT AN ENEMY KHRUSHCHEV IS
«THE-MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROADERS» LEAN MOSTLY TO THE RIGHT
THE VAIN HOPES OF THE CHINESE COMRADES HAVE GONE WITH THE WIND
KHRUSHCHEV HAS COME OUT OPENLY. THE TIME HAS COME FOR THE CHINESE TO STRIKE HARD AT THIS DOG
THE CHINESE ARE CONTINUING THEIR USELESS TALKS WITH KHRUSHCHEV
THE BETRAYERS OF MARXISM-LENINISM MUST BE FOUGHT WITHOUT MERCY
NOT CAPITULATION, BUT STRUGGLE AGAINST REVISIONISTS
THE CHINESE BATTERIES OPEN UP AGAINST MODERN REVISIONISM
OUR GUESTS WERE VERY SATISFIED
CHOU EN-LAI’S VISIT IS OVER
FIRE TO THE END AGAINST SOVIET REVISIONISTS!
THE LACKEYS DECORATE KHRUSHCHEV. THE CHINESE LEADERSHIP SENDS HIM A TELEGRAM OF CONGRATULATIONS
THERE IS SOMETHING HIDDEN HERE
THIS MEANS TO TURN WHICHEVER WAY THE WIND BLOWS
THE CHINESE ARE IN NATIONAL-CHAUVINIST POSITIONS
THE STRUGGLE AGAINST KHRUSHCHEVISM MUST NOT BE DIVERTED INTO TERRITORIAL CLAIMS
THE CHINESE ARE MAKING GROSS AND IMPERMISSIBLE MISTAKES
THE CHINESE STAND: «THEY TAKE THE FIRST STEP, WE TAKE THE SECOND»
OMINOUS SIGNS
THE CHINESE HAVE BEGUN A CAMPAIGN OF APPROACHES TO THE REVISIONISTS OF EUROPE WHO ARE IN POWER
THE CHINESE IDEA ABOUT AN ANTI-IMPERIALIST FRONT INCLUDING EVEN THE MODERN REVISIONISTS IS ANTI-LENINIST
IN NO WAY CAN WE RECONCILE OURSELVES TO THESE VIEWS OF CHOU EN-LAI
THE CHINESE WANT TO IMPOSE THEIR OPINIONS ON US
BEHIND THE TACTIC OF «WAITING» LIES A MARKED DOSE OF OPPORTUNISM
THE NEW COURSE OF THE CHINESE COMRADES IS HARMFUL TO THE COMMUNIST MOVEMENT
BREZHNEV IS TRYING TO FOOL THE CHINESE FIRST OF ALL
A SCANDALOUS STAND, EVERYTHING THEY SAY IS HYPOCRITICAL, WITH DISHONEST AIMS
WHAT RESULTS DID CHOU EN-LAI ACHIEVE IN MOSCOW?
THE CHINESE PRESS IS SILENT ABOUT OUR ARTICLES AND PUBLISHES THE SPEECHES OF SOVIET LEADERS
CHOU EN-LAI’S IDEA OF SETTING UP ANOTHER UNO WILL NOT SUCCEED
THE DEFEAT OF CHOU EN-LAI IN MOSCOW
PEKING’S REACTION AFTER CHOU EN-LAI’S RETURN FROM MOSCOW
A VERBAL COMMUNICATION OF THE CHINESE AMBASSADOR IN TIRANA ABOUT CHOU EN-LAI’S TALKS IN MOSCOW
THE CHINESE COMRADES RETURN TO CORRECT POSITIONS IN THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE SOVIETS
A RIGID POLICY OF ISOLATION OF THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT
OPPORTUNIST TACTIC OF THE CHINESE COMRADES
MAO TSETUNG TAKES A FIRM AND CORRECT STAND TOWARDS THE REVISIONIST KOSYGIN
THE CHINESE ARE PUBLISHING KHRUSHCHEV’S SPEECHES
THE MODERN REVISIONISTS ARE MAKING DEMAGOGY ABOUT THE «ANTI-IMPERIALIST COMMON FRONT»
RESTRAINT EXERTED ON CHINA TOWARDS THE ACTIVITIES OF THE KHRUSHCHEVITES
WE SHALL SUPPORT THE MARXIST-LENINIST PARTIES
THE CULT OF MAO TSETUNG
WHAT IS GOING ON IN CHINA?
IDEOLOGICAL DEVIATIONS
A SIXTEEN-POINT DOCUMENT ON THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION IS APPROVED
THE «RED GUARD»
THE «RED GUARDS» ARE ACTING WITHOUT LEADERSHIP OR CONTROL
OUR STAND TOWARDS CURRENT EVENTS IN CHINA

THE ARMY IS RECOMMENDED AS A MODEL FOR ALL, EVEN FOR THE PARTY
VERY ASTONISHING
THESES ON THE UNITY OF THE INTERNATIONAL MARXIST-LENINIST MOVEMENT

WE MUST SUPPORT THE CORRECT OBJECTIVES OF THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION IN CHINA
THE PARTY IN CHINA WILL STRENGTHEN ITSELF BY RADICALLY CLEANING UP THE MISTAKES IN ITS LINE
MERCILESS STRUGGLE AGAINST ENEMIES
THE REVISIONISTS IN CHINA AIM TO SEIZE POWER QUIETLY
THE DISTORTIONS OF PRINCIPLE IN THE ORGANS OF STATE POWER HAVE RESULTED FROM THE MISTAKES IN LINE
IN CHINA THEY ARE MOVING TOWARDS THE «UNIFICATION» OF THE PARTY WITH THE STATE
REFLECTIONS ON THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION. ANARCHY CANNOT BE COMBATED WITH ANARCHY
CAN THIS BE CALLED A CADRES POLICY?

GOOD NEWS FROM CHINA: THE PARTY IS BEING REORGANIZED
WE SHALL NOT RESPOND TO THE CHINESE SILENCE WITH SILENCE
