Chapter 50 Statement Against the US Military Assistance Bill to Chiang[1]

(June 22, 1946) The U.S. State Department’s continuation of military aid to China bill submitted to Congress on the 14th of this month will have an extremely negative impact on China’s peace, stability, independence and democracy. Therefore, the Chinese Communist Party firmly opposes this bill.This opinion of the CCP is supported by the majority of Chinese democrats.During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the United States provided military assistance to China and sent American troops to coordinate operations on Chinese territory, with the aim of defeating the common enemy of China and the United States, Japanese imperialism. This kind of aid did not effectively strengthen China's resistance. On the contrary, it was used by the Kuomintang warlords to strengthen their attacks and blockades against the Communist Party of China and the Liberated Areas of China, which were actively resisting Japan.After Japan surrendered, the United States did not stop but greatly strengthened various military aids to the Chinese Kuomintang government, and for this practical purpose, it dispatched huge troops to station in China's territory and territorial waters. The root cause of the outbreak and continued expansion of a large-scale civil war.Only under the premise that the U.S. government announced to implement the communiqué of the Moscow Tripartite Foreign Ministers' Meeting in December 1945 on the China issue, announced the cessation of the civil war with the Chinese Kuomintang, and announced the fulfillment of the resolution of the Chinese Political Consultative Conference on the democratization of the country, The Communist Party of China never objected to some kind of military assistance from the United States to China.But now these premises have been severely damaged, so the so-called military aid by the United States is actually only armed interference in China's internal affairs, and it is only to strongly support the Kuomintang dictatorship to continue to plunge China into civil war, division, chaos, terror and poverty, and it is only to prevent China from Realizing the demobilization of the entire army and fulfilling its obligations to the United Nations will only endanger China's national security, independence and territorial integrity, and will only destroy the glorious friendship between the two nations of China and the United States and the development of Sino-US trade.What the Chinese people urgently need today is not American guns and American troops stationed in China. On the contrary, the Chinese people feel that the United States has shipped too many arms to China, and the American troops have been stationed in China for too long. They have constituted China's peace. peace and stability and the survival and freedom of the Chinese people.Under such realistic circumstances, the Chinese Communist Party has no choice but to resolutely oppose the U.S. government’s continuing to sell, exchange, lease, gift or transfer military arms to the Kuomintang dictatorship in China, and resolutely oppose the U.S. sending military missions to China. And firmly demand that the United States immediately stop and withdraw all so-called military aid to China, and immediately withdraw the US troops in China.
