And that was due entirely to oppression and exploitation by foreign imperialism and domestic reactionary governments. The Chinese have always been a great, courageous and industrious nation it is only in modern times that they have fallen behind. In accordance with its agenda, the conference will enact the Organic Law of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the Organic Law of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China and the Common Programme of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference it will elect the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the Central People's Government Council of the People's Republic of China it will adopt the national flag and national emblem of the People's Republic of China and it will decide on the seat of the capital of the People's Republic of China and adopt the chronological system in use in most countries of the world.įellow 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. Therefore, the conference proclaims that it will exercise the functions and powers of a National People's Congress. The present Chinese People's 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. 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, bureaucrat-capitalism and their general representative, the reactionary Kuomintang government, supported the People's War of Liberation, basically defeated the reactionary Kuomintang government, overthrown the rule of imperialism in China and restored the Political Consultative Conference. 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-shek's Kuomintang, the running dog of imperialism, and its accomplices - overthrow these enemies or be oppressed and slaughtered by them, either one or the other, there is no other choice. 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. It showed that nothing in the interest of the people could be accomplished together with Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang, the running dog of imperialism, and its accomplices. The results of that conference were sabotaged by Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang and its accomplices nevertheless the conference left an indelible impression on the people. Our conference is called the Political Consultative Conference because some three years ago we held a Political Consultative Conference with Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang. And it is on this foundation that the present People's Political Consultative Conference is convened. In a little more than three years the people of the whole country have closed their ranks, rallied to support the People's Liberation Army, fought the enemy and won basic victory. At present the field armies of the People's 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 heroic Chinese People's 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 counter-offensive and the offensive. imperialism that this great unity of the whole people has been achieved. It is because we have defeated the reactionary Kuomintang government backed by U.S. This shows that ours is a conference embodying the great unity of the people of the whole country. Our conference is composed of more than six hundred delegates, representing all the democratic parties and people's organizations of China, the People's Liberation Army, the various regions and nationalities of the country and the overseas Chinese. The Political Consultative Conference so eagerly awaited by the whole nation is herewith inaugurated. For other documents on Mao Zedong, click here.
