Chapter 110 Two letters to Huang Yanpei[1]

(August 24 and 26, 1949) Mr. One: The statement [2] of the White Paper by the spokesperson of the Democratic National Construction Association is extremely well written, and this should have a great educational effect on the national bourgeoisie.Documents of this kind (vivid, active, principled, promising, and hopeful) by the Democratic National Construction Association should enable the Democratic National Construction Association to establish its own initiative, which is indispensable for a political party.Yours sincerely! Mao Zedong August 24 The second Mr.: It was a great pleasure to show my respect on August 24th.The statement made by the Democratic National Construction Association is not only in response to the white paper, but also clarifies the reason why the national bourgeoisie exists and develops, that is, it has established a theory, and thus established the initiative of the Democratic National Construction Association, which is very beneficial to future cooperation.It is also very good and necessary for the civil construction work to adopt a democratic method.This method seems to be slow, but in fact it is fast. After everyone has cleared their minds and agreed, things will be easier to handle in the future.

Congratulations! Mao Zedong August 26 Printed from manuscript. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ note [1] Huang Yanpei (1878-1965), courtesy name Renzhi, was born in Chuansha, Jiangsu (now part of Shanghai).At that time, he was the main person in charge of the China Democratic Construction Association. [2] Refers to the statement "Strengthen Internal Unity and Vigilance, Tell the U.S. Imperialists that Their Dreams Can't Come True" issued on August 24, 1949 by the spokesperson of the China Democratic Construction Association in Peiping, refuting the U.S. White Paper.The statement pointed out: The U.S. State Department published the white paper "U.S.-China Relations" to cover up failures and deceive the people.The dream of developing "democratic individualism" mentioned in the white paper cannot be realized.The contradiction between the basic interests of the Chinese national bourgeoisie and imperialism determines its attitude towards all imperialism (including U.S. imperialism). The Chinese national bourgeoisie will not become the capital or condition for U.S. imperialism to develop "democratic individualism."Only New Democracy is its only bright and happy path.
