[Text] Beijing, January 14, (XistiVA) -- Bidding proposals opened here today for two oil
projects worth 263.2 million U.s. dollars, according to the China National Technical
Import Corporation (CNTIC). The projects are the deveiopment of the ddep oil strata
at the Gaotaizi zone of China's largest oilfield, Daqing in northeast China, and the
Wenliu project at the developing Zhongyuan oilfield in central China. The World Bank
has provided China with the above-mentioned sum ‘n hard loans. Two agreements on the
loans, which were signed in the first half of 1963, came into effect last September.
Many of the 80 tenders from the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, Canada, Singa-
pore, France, the Federal Republic of Germany and Hong Kong represent world-renowned
petroleum equipment manufacturers, such as Dresser Industries Inc. and Cooper’ Inc.
in the United States.
CNTIC said that China would use the money from the World Bank to buy four mobile drilling
rigs, bop stacks, drilling equipment, motor vehicles, inspection tools, workovers,
submersible oil pumps, formation testers and complete sets of equipment for two seismic
teams. It is expected that the winning bids will be announced in about one month.

‘Article by Huan Xiang, "Well-known Specialist on International Questions and Adviser
to This Paper": "Recovery of World Economy Is Slow, Weak, and Unstable")
[Text] The year 1983 saw a turn for the better in the world's economy: The most
serious (longest in time and greatest in influence) economic crisis in the capitalist
world since the end of World War II has come to an end, and the Western economy began
to recover in spring 1983.
lL. i6 Jan 84 A. PRC INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
towever, leve lopments in various countries were uneven, with the »-5. recovery being
the quickest, followed by that in Japan and then by that in Western Europe. Since
Andropey started economic reforms, the Soviet Union has in the main checked the
declining tendency of the growth rate of its national economy. Industry and
agriculture in East European countries have also grown to a certain extent. In the
Third World, most Asian countries have raised their economic growth rates over the
past year and have brought down inflation rates; but Latin American countries passed
the year 1983 “under the most depressed condition in the last 50 years." African
countries also generally met with serious economic difficulties. In addition, most
Third World countries have been racked with heavy debts.
As we enter 1984, the world economy is still confronted with many difficulties and
problems.
lm the Western world, although cyclinal crisis factors have abated, noncyclical and
structural v.actors still exist and will continue to hold back further recovery. It
will etill take the Soviet Union a long time to effect its economic reform and it will
hav’ to adept many resolute steps to achieve it. East European countries are faced
wit: many problems that are not easy to solve. So, the Soviet and East European
economies can hardly be expected to achieve major growth in 1983 [year as published].
Most Third World countries will continue to be harmed by the Western countries’
practice of shifting the economic crisis onto others and their policy of building
up tariffs and trade barriers, so it will remain difficult for them to shake off
economic difficulties.
All this shows that the recovery of the world's economy in 1984 will be slow, weak,
unstable, and uneven.
INTINUI GE ON PREMIER ZHAO'S U.S. VISI'
Newsletter on Washington Activities
HELSOBOG Me MIN RIBAO in Chinese 14 Jan 84 p 56
“Newsletter ft: America” by Yuan Xianlu and Zhang Yunwen: “Broad Prospects for Devel-
1 - tions’
lext Premier Zhao Ziyang completed his activities in the American capital at 1000
the mornin, f | inuary, and ntinued his otticial visit to the United States by.
leaving Washingt for San Francisco.
Premier Zhao had a very busy schedule in the American capital. On 11 January, he went
t ngress ¢ neet the leaders of the House and Senate; in his hote! he met Secretary
etense Weinberger, Commerce Secretary Baldrige, and presidential science adviser
Keyworth. He was also interviewed by tive major U.S. television stations, met the editor
in chiet of the WASHINGTON POST, held a grand tarewell banquet, and also attended a
icheon elven by the National Council for U.S.-China Trade and a dinner jointly given
bv the China Society, Chinese-Americans of various circles, and the U.S.-China People's
‘riendship Association. Onthe morning of the 12th, apart from attending a Cabinet
breakfast in the White House, Premier Zhao also signed two agreements and said farewel|
to President Reagan. In addition he also specially set aside time for an activity that
had been cancelled by his hosts due to heavy snow -- a visit to the Sidwell Friends
School. Premier “hao had very broad-ranging contacts with Americans inside and outside
government during a period of 48 hours.
The talks between Premier Zhao and President Reagan showed that China and the United
States indeed have important points in common and also important differences. It was
‘bvious that the differences between the two countries over the Taiwan issue were not
resolved in these talks. A number of Americans concerned over Sino-U.S. relations told
these correspondents that due to historical reasons and current U.S. political realities,
it is still umrealistic to demand that the leaders of the two ccuntries immediately clear
way this obstacle affecting the steady development of Sino-U.S. relations. However, it
is necessary to see another aspect of the matter, that is, the tide of development of
these relations is irresistible. A U.S. Government official held that it was extremely
significant that the leaders of the two countries held friendly and frank talks on the
icute and sensitive Taiwan issue, with each stating his position and understanding the
viewpoint of the other, and directly exchanging views in this way. A person involved in
U.S.-China friendship activities said that by clearly expounding the Chinese Government's
position on the Taiwan issue to the American public through his talks with the media,
such as the five television stations and the WASHINGTON POST, Premier Zhao would effec-
tively stimulate the efforts of people inside and outside the U.S. Government to solve
this difference between China and the United States.
Before Premier Zhao left Washington, China and the United States signed an agreement on
industrial technological cooperation and an agreement on scientific and technological
cooperation. These two agreements symbolize "the new fruits" in Sino-U.S. ties "that
need to be preserved and the new fields to be opened up," and show that “the prospects
for Sime-.S. relations grow ever broader." The splendor of the lunch given by the
National Council for U.S.-China Trade on 11 January expressed the tremendous interest of
\(merican businessmen in developing economic cooperation with China.
[. 16 Jan 84 B 2 PRC INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
UNITED STATES
»peaking on the dramatic interest in the number of member companies of this organization
in recent years, council chairman Surrey said humorously: "I want to tell you, Premier
chao, we have been unable to find an effective way of controlling the population of this
council.” At the lunch, Premier Zhao expounded on China's external economic policy,
gave some explanations in view of certain misunderstandings, and also spoke frankly on a
number of Chinese shortcomings and problems on this issue. Many American businessmen
said that the Chinese leader's frank and sincere statements and truth-seeking approach
had further strengthened their interest and confidence in carrying out economic
exchanges with China.
Premier Zhao said in one speech: "Since I came to America, I have personally seen that
the American people have particularly friendly feelings toward the Chinese people."
During his visit to Washington, one thing was unforgettable. When Premier Zhao gave
a return party on 1l January, despite bitter cold and deep snow on the roads, which had
not yet been cleared, and resulting in poor traffic conditions, the guests were unprece-
dentedly enthusiastic. Quite a number of them had come by plane from elsewhere
especially to attend the party. The big banquet room of the hotel was a sea of people,
and at the end people had to wait more than half an hour to collect their hats and coats.
An atmosphere of warm friendship pervaded the party. Premier Zhao said to the guests
that this was the best-attended party given by China since the establishment of diplomat-
ic relations between the two countries, and this showed that the friends of China were
ever increasing in number. At the dinner given by the third group of the U.S.-China
People's Friendship Association, Mrs Troy, chairman of the association, stressed in her
warm and friendly speech the importance of developing friendship between the American
and Chinese peoples. The warm welcome and affection shown to Premier Zhao when he
visited the Sidwell Friends School vividly proves that Sino-U.S. friendship is already
deep-rooted in the hearts of the next American generation. Viewing the future, the
friendship between the peoples of the two countries will develop further. This is the
inevitable trend of history.
Zhao Addresses San Francisco Banquet
OW131415 Beijing XINHUA Domestic Service in Chinese 0932 GMT 13 Jan 84
[Text] San Francisco, 12 Jan (XINHUA) -- Premier Zhao Ziyang said here today that
China and the United States, being two big powers, bear especially heavy responsibilities
for the maintenance of stability and peace in the Pacific region. He said: "The
Pacific region, like others in the world, is fraught with crises and latent troubles.”
Premier Zhao made this remark at the dinner given in his honor in San Francisco by the
World Affairs Council, the Commonwealth Club and the San Francisco-Shanghai Friendship
City Committee. About 1,000 people attended the dinner.
Premier Zhao said: Superpower rivalry in the Pacific region is intensifying. "The
sovereignty and territorial integrity of some countries have been flagrantly infringed
and trampled upon. Some countries are still kept in a state of artificial division.
A growing number of warships are plying the waters of the Pacific Ocean, and more and
more missiles have been deployed on its periphery.”
He pointed out: "The dark clouds of war are still hovering over us. The maintenance of
stability and peace in the Pacific region is an urgent task. China and the United
States, being the big powers on the opposite sides of the ocean, undoubtedly bear
especially heavy responsibilities."
Ll. 16 Jan 84 & 3 PRC INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
UNITED STATES
Premier Zhao emphatically pointed out. "China's stand is that the Pacific Ocean should
become a truly great and pacific ocean. The various countries in the Pacific region
should strictly observe the principles of mutual respect for each others’ territorial
integrity and sovereignty, mutual nonaggression, noninterference in each other's
internal attairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence. They should
settle their disputes by peacetul means, without resorting to force or threats of
torce. The arms race, and particularly the nuclear arms race, must be halted. Foreign
military bases set up in other countries must be dismantled and foreign military forces
stationed in other countries withdraw. Such acts as forcibly occupying the territories
of other countries, infringing upon their sovereignty, and interfering in their
internal affairs must be stopped. This is the only way to dispel the dark clouds over
the Pacific Ocean, and avert crises and hidden troubles, so that the people in various
countries may live in peace, engage in equitable and mutually beneficial cooperation,
and build a happy life."
Premier Zhao said: The American people also ardently cherish peace. They, too, hope
that their peaceful life and achievements in construction will not be destroyed by war.
He hoped that the American people will joint hands with the people of China and that the
people in the Pacific region will join hands with the people of various countries in
the world in the common endeavor to preserve peace in the Pacific region and in the
world at large.

Comments on China's Reunification

{Text | San Francisco, 12 Jam (XINHUA) -- At a San Francisco meeting this afternoon with
representatives of Overseas Chinese and Chinese nationals on the West Coast of the
United States, Premier Zhao Ziyang pointed out that China's reunification and revitali-
zation is the common aspiration of the whole Chinese nation, including the people of
Taiwan and those living abroad. He called on Chinesenationals residing in the United
States to make still greater contributions to the reunification of the motherland.
Shortly after Premier Zhao's arrival in San Francisco after concluding his visit in
Washington, over 300 representatives of West Coast Chinese communities heard his speech
on China's reunification at the Fairmort Hotel where Premier Zhao is staying. After
mentioning the hardship the Overseas Chinese in the United States had endured in crossing
the vast ocean more than a century ago as well as their tremendous contribution» :o the
development and construction of the United States, Zhao Ziyang said that he want: to
take the opportunity to discuss China's reunification, an issue the people in San
Francisco and Los Angeles and from Taiwan and Hong Kong are highly interested in.
lL. 16 Jan 84 B 4 PRC INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
UNITED STATES
Zhao <lyvang said: "Por many years, people have always taken note of the differences
between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party; as a matter of fact, there are also
common points between the two parties. Is it not an important point common to the two
sides that they both believe there is only one China? Moreover, China's peaceful
reunification has come to be the common language for both the KMT and the Communist
Party. We truly and wholeheartedly hope our motherland can be peacefully reunified.”
"To achieve a peaceful reunification, there must be an appropriate way to do so. This
is why we have proposed that talks [hui tan 2585 6151] be held between the KMT and the
Communist Party for a third round of cooperation so that they can join in a common
ettort to accomplish the great cause of national reunification, thus making contributions
to the Chinese nation. The starting point of our policy is to respect history and
reality, and take full account of the wishes of the people of various nationalities in
faiwan and the interests of the Taiwan authorities. It will not be a case of the main-
la d swallowing up Taiwan, nor vice versa."
He said: “for this reason, we propose that, after our motherland has been reunified,
Taiwan and the mainland shall both be part of the People's Republic of China and Taiwan
can become a special administrative region [te bie xing zheng qu 3676 0446 5887 2398
0575]. This means that Taiwan shall be fully independent to manage its own affairs [you
zi ji de chong fen zi zhu quan 2589 5261 1569 4104 0339 0433 5261 0031 2938] and enjoy
some exclusive powers that other provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions do
not enjoy. laiwan can practice a system different from that on the mainland. It can
have an independent judiciary, and there is no need to ask Beijing for final judgment
Taiwan can aiso keep its own forces. The mainland will send no representatives to
laiwan, neither troops nor administrative personnel. The party, government and military
apparatus in lfaiwan will all be under the control of Taiwan itself. After reunification,
there will be enduring cooperation, long-term coexistence, and mitual supervision
between the CPC and the KMT. Members of the Taiwan authorities and public figures of
various circles are also welcome to hold leading posts in political organizations at the
national level and discuss state affairs together with us.”
Zhao Zivyang said: "Economically, Taiwan, as a special administrative region, may have
its own independent financial budget. The mainland will not collect any tax from or
impose any levies of money on Taiwan; Taiwan may also maintain and develop its trade
relations as well as exchanges and cooperation with foreign countries in the economic,
technological and cultural fields. The combined economies and technologies of Taiwan
and the mainland, plus the rich resources and huge market on the mainland, will enhance
the prosperity on both sides of the strait, and the living standards of the people in
Taiwan will improve even more rapidly."
Zhao Zivang pointed out: "In short, Taiwan will have nothing to lose after reunifica-
tion. On the contrary, it will gain honor and benefits as part of the great motherland."
Zhao Zivang said: “These propositions of ours are permeated with the spirit of re-
conciliation, and they are sensible and practical. What is your opinion? If you have
any more suggestions, please feel free to state them. We are willing to hear them."
He continued: "For a solution to the Taiwan issue, we place our hopes on the Taiwan
authorities and the people in Taiwan, and also hope that Chinese nationals in all parts
of the world will help promote the cuase of reunification. Chinese nationals in the
tnited States are in an especially favorable position to do so. You have exerted
valuable efforts in this regard. We also welcome vou to return to the mainland to look
around and exchange opinions with us. We equally welcome those who hold views
differing greatly fromours. The door of China is always open to all descendants of
Huang Di."

Regarding the domestic situation, Zhao Ziyang said: "People of all nationalities and
ill strata at home are united, their life is stable and the political situation is
steady. Law and democracy have been further strengthened. The growth of industrial
and agricultural production is faster than expected. Internationally, thanks to our
independent foreign policy, our international status has never been higher. We can
say that the Chinese people have never been prouder and more elated as they are today.
China certainly can be revitalized. The Divine Land [poetic name for China] wil]
certainly shine with dazzling splendor in the world."
Tours Berkeley Campus
OW140738 Beijing XINHUA in English 0703 GMT 14 Jan 84
[Text] San Francisco, January 13 (XINHUA) -- Chinese Premier Zhao Zivang said today he
wished to see greater and more successful scholarly exchanges between the University of
Calitornia, Berkeley and Chinese universities. While touring the prestigious university,
Zhao thanked its chancellor and the faculty for their assistance to the Chinese scholars
and students doing research or stuying here.
Premier Zhao, accompanied by Foreign Minister Wu Xueqian, Deputy Secretary General of
the State Council Chen Chu, and Chinese Ambassador Zhang Wenjin was warmly welcomed to
the campus by Dr Roderic Park, chancellor; Dr Glenn Seaborg, director of the Lawrence
Hall of Science; of the university.
A gcoup of Chinese students and scholars greeted Zhao in the lobby of the Lawrence Hall.
A small robot, bearing around its waist a paper strap inscribed with "Welcome Premier
Zhao" in Chinese, said to the Chinese guests, “please follow me," in English.
Founded in 1868, the University of California, Berkeley, has faculty of 1,600, including
ll Nobel Prize winners, and 29,800 students in all. About 25 percent of the students are
Asian ethnics, half of whom are Chinese. Chancellor Park told Zhao that his university
was the first to establish scholarly exchanges with China and that since 1979 about 600
Chinese students and scholars have come to study or do research in the university.
Premier Zhao said, "I understand that these exchanges have been very fruitful. I wish
you even greater achievements in this area."
Zhao and his party were shown round the biology laboratory and physics laboratory of the
Lawrence Hall of Science. The hall was established by the regents of the University of
California in 1958 as a memorial to Earnest Orlando Lawrence, developer of the first in
the world cyclotron and the university's first Nobel laureate. In the amphitmeater
room of the hall, the Chinese visitors watched displays of plant genetics and biological
control in agricultural production as part of the university's research work.
At the end of the one-hour tour, Dr Seaborg, the first to sponsor the university's
scholarly exchanges withChina, presented some children's science toys as gifts to
Premier Zhao's three grand kids, saying, "As a grandfather of two grandsons, I present
these toys to the grandchildren of another grandfather." Accepting the gifts, Zhao
said: "On behalf of my grandkids I express thanks to another grandfather. Probably,
our children will meet each other some time in the future.”

“Lt is beneficial to both our countries to keep our economic ties strong and growing."
Deukmejian also pointed out. "A strong Chinese-American friendship can be a positive and
peaceful force in the pursuit of a safer world."
Premier Zhao Ziyang said in his return toast: "In reviewing the history of the develop-
ment of Calitornia, people cannot but admire the American people's courageous and tena-
cious "pioneering spirit," and at the same time think of indelible contributions made to
the early development of California by the sweat and toil of large numbers of Chinese
laborers.”
Premier Zhao said: "Today, the Chinese and American peoples are continuing their
contacts under new historical circumstances. It isthe shared desire of our two peoples
to develop our triendly relations in the spirit of equality and mutual benefit."
Premier Zhao also pointed out: "China and the United States have repeatedly acknowledged
that the relations of our two countries should be based on such generally recognized
norms governing international relations as mutual respect for sovereignty and terri-
torial integrity and noninterference in internal affairs." "As long as these norms are
observed in earnest, it will not be difficult to remove the differences between China and
the United States on the Taiwan issue, and the development of the two countries’ rela-
tions will be much smother, " he said.
The speeches by Premier Zhao and the California governor were constantly applauded
and cheered by an audience of about 600 people. Among those present were San Francisco
Mayor Dianne Feinstein, local léaders from the American West, influential members of the

the international and domestic situation raised by personalities from various circles
at a dincer last night given by the World Affairs Council, the Commonwealth Club,
and the San Francisco-Shanghai Friendship City Committee.
On the question concerning Sino-Soviet relations, Premier Zhao said that "China adheres
to an independent foreign policy. We are willing to improve and develop our relations
with all countries, including, of course, the Soviet Union, on the basis of the five
principles of peaceful coexistence. In the last 2 years we have held some dialogues
[dui hua 1417 6114] with the Soviet Union. We are opposed to many policies pursued
by the Soviet Union, and this position of ours has not changed. During our dialogues
with the Soviet Union, we did not make any progress in solving substantive questions
[shi zhi wen ti 1395 6347 0795 7344]. Of course, the trade and economic exchanges
between our two sides have increased somewhat, and they will likely increase some
more in the future. At present, there are very few contacts between high-ranking
officials of the two sides; there might be some in the future. The appointment
between our Foreign Minister Wu and Foreign Minister Gromyko at the United Nations was
mot realized, but it has not been canceled. They still have an opportunity to meet

swenting on dialogue between the two countries in recent years, Zhao said that there
has been no substantial progress yet in these talks and China’s position towards many
Licles of the Soviet Union remains unchanged. ‘But we have increased trade and
economic relations with the Soviet Union and it is possible te increase these relations
in the future," he added. ‘We are willing to improve our relations with the Soviet
lon, but apparently this does not depend on China alone,’ he stated.” |
On the question concerning the control of nuclear arms, Premier Zhao said that "China
is a large developing country. It is large primarily in population. A question
confronting us is how to accelerate economic construction and improve the people's
livelihood. We will not, we are unwilline id it is unlikely for us to join in
the international nuclear arms race. We 4 t a genuine disarmament will be

show their determination.
Om the best way to make Vietnam withdraw its troops from Kampuchea, Premier Zhao said:
"You all know that Vietnam is a country that has experienc2d wars for many years, and its
people are Living amid great difficulties. Since Vietr.am invaded Kampuchea, Vietna
economie difficulties have worsened. We may say that its economy is in a situation of
‘ollapse. I think that the most reliable way to compel Vietnam to end its occupation
t Kampuchea and settle the Kampuchean issue peacefully is to support
Kampuchea’s resistance forces and further exacerbate Vietnam's difficulties, in
iddition to exerting international political pressure on Vietnam and condemning its
ust invasion of Kampuchea. China earnestly hopes that the Kampuchean issue can be
settled politically at an early date, but Vietnam today does not want the issue settled
this way and is not prepared to withdraw its troops from Kampuchea. All the proposals
put torward by Vietmam are designed to deceive the world public and to legalize its
agegressicn against Kampuchea. For this reason, we do not think that the conditions
ror a political settlement of the Kampuchean issue are ripe. Perhaps it will continue
be very hard to settle this issue politically in the near future.”
(The XINHUA English version renders Zhao's comments on Vietnam and Kampuchea as
follows: "On a possible political solution to the issue of occupation of Kampuchea
by Vietnam, Premier Zhao said conditions are not ripe at present for such a solution
although Chiaa very much likes to see an early political solution of the issue. Zhao
noted that Vietnam is still refusing to withdraw its troops from Kampuchea. The
various proposals of Hanoi ‘are all designed to hoodwink international opinion and
legalize its occupation of Kampuchea,’ he stressed. The Chinese premier pwinted out
that the surest way to fteree Vietnam to pull out of Kampuchea is to support the
resistance forces in Kampuchea apart from exerting political and moral pressure on
y
Vietnam." |]
On Chima’s economic role in the Asian-Pacific region, Premier Zhao pointed out:
In recent years China has greatly expanded its trade and economic relations with
Asian and Pacific nations, including the United States, Japan, Australia, New Zealand,
ind the ASEAN nations. It has also made a good start in economic and technological
cooperation with these countries. I think that there is still great potential for
trade and economic relations, technological cooperation, and cooperation in other
fields between China and the Pacific nations. We still can explore various ways
and adopt various measures to expand the cooperation between us day by day.”

Comments on Sino-U.S. Trade
(W140730 Beljing XINHUA Domestic Service in Chinese 0243 GMT 14 Jan 84
[Text] San Francisco, 13 Jan (XINHUA) -- At a meeting this afternoon with personages
from business cir-'es of the American West at the Fairmont Hotel, Premier Zhao Zivang
expressed the hope that they would promote, politically as well as economically, the
continued progress of Sino-U.S. relations in a direction that both sides desire.
Premier Zhao said that th western part of the United States has very close economic
ties with China. All of you are influential personages from business circles in the
American West, and | suppose that you are concerned about the question of Sino-l.S.
economic and trade relations. The same question is also one of deep concern for the
Chinese people and government. "At the invitation of the U.S. Government, T am visiting
your country for the main purpose of promoting the progress of Sino-U.S. relations,
including, of course, economic and trade relations."
Premier “hao said that the rate of growth in Sino-U.S. economic and trade relations the
past few years may be described as very impressive. However, the scale of these re-
lations is, in fact, still too small for two big countries like China and the United
States. "These two things indicate that there is still great potential for the develop-
ment of Sino-U.S. economic and trade relations."
He said that when speaking of Sino-U.S. economic and trade relations, we cannot ignore
the American West. Because of its geograpuical location, the western part of the United
States is bound to play an important role in the development of U.S. economic and trade
relations with China.
He said that some U.S. economic departments have specialties that correspond precisely
with the key tasks that China is undertaking under its program of modernization. This
also applies to the American West. Modernization of agriculture is one of the key tasks
of strategic importance in China's economic development, while the western and central
western parts of the United States are noted for their well-developed agriculture.
lh Jan 54 B 10 PRC INTEANATIONAL AFFAIRS
UNITED STATES
ihe « xp l ration of energy resources is another kev task of strategi: importance for our
ountry, and several companies in the American West have begun to cooperate with us in
this tleld. Construction of communications facilities is our third key task of stra-
tegic tmportance, and a number of major communications and transportation equipment
suppliers are located on the West Coast. Today we have hundreds of thousands of enter-
prises in need of technical transformation. The American West can find a big market in
China for tts advanced production equipment, electronic technology, and so forth.
Premier Zhao pointed out that development of the economic and trade relations between
our two countries will encounter numerous difficulties. However, as long as we hold that
such relations are mutually beneficial, it is worthwhile for us to make an effort to
overcome rather than flinch from difficulties. Some personages in U.S. business circles
have shown an unremitting and indomitable will in this respect. We appreciate and admire
what they have done.
He said that China and the United States have different social systems, but this should
not be an obstacle to our efforts to do business. We will try to understand better the
American system and practices. At the same time, I hope that you will do the same in
regard to the Chinese system and practices. “I believe that as long as we can under-
stand each other more deeply, it is easier to get things done. In my opinion, at least
me thing in the Chinese system is favorable to contacts with China by American business-
men: im China, all departments and units from the top down are implementing the unified
pollctes formulated by the government. Opening to the outside world has been estab-
lished by the Chinese Government as a fundamental national policy to be carried out for
i long time to come. This has provided a reliable fundamental guarantee for business-
men of all foreign countries, including the United States, to develop economic and trade
relations with China.”
te said: “There exists a very big gap between the levels of economic development of
the two countries. The gap does create some difficulties for our exchanges. But why
should two countries trade with each other if they are exactly the same in everything?
The existing gap, plus the huge potential of China's domestic market, is an assurance
for American businessmen to invest in China without the fear of China becoming a threat-
ening competitor of the United States. China will not become such a competitor for a
very lone time to come. Friction in some fields of course is unavoidable. Nevertheless,
there is no doubt that the more China exports to the United States the larger the
Chinese market will be for American goods, technology, and capital.”
Premier Zhao pointed out that trade is always risky, but that the opportunities one has
are far greater than the risks one takes when doing business with China. American
business circles have always displayed a spirit of taking risks in order to take ad-
vantage of an opportunity. Moreover, the Chinese Government, in implementing a policy
of opening to the outside, will create all the necessary conditions so that in dealing
with China vou can earn rational profits with minimum risks.
He said: We admit that our laws and regulations concerning foreign economic relations
ire not adequuce enough, but we are striving to improve them. For some questions that
require a solution but for which we cannot enact legislation right away to solve, we may
include relevant terms in our contracts. We also admit that bureaucracy and low ef-
ficteney exist among some Chinese working personnel. They are constantly striving to
overcome the shortcomings. I believe that the existing problems in Sino-U.S. trade and
economic relations will be reduced as exchanges expand between the two countries.

confederal state on the basis of regional autonomy. This proposal is conducive to
relaxing tensions on the Korean peninsula and to achieving the peaceful reunification

the present situation on the Korean peninsula is very tense at present. This is wholly
created by the United States and the South Korean authorities. The DPRK is now engrossed
in peaceful construction and will by no means carry out an “invasion of the South"
is the United States and the South Korean authorites are propagating. Under this fabri-
ited pretext, the United States stations a large number ot its troops in South Korea
irries out large-scale military exercises in concert with the South Korean authorities,
irouses hostility against the DPRK, and vigorously reinforces the South Korean military
itreneth by different means, such as materials. This has created obstacles to the talks
between the northern and southern sides of Korea for the independent and peaceful reuni-

with the United States and withdrawal of U.S. troops from South Korea. This wi!l get

peace in Northeast Asia and other parts of Asia.
After the withdrawal of U.S. troops from South Korea and the conclusion of a "nonagres-

be able to exchange views calmly for the reunification of their country. The

veld a news conference at the embassy this morning. In the news conference, he intro-
duced the measures taken to peacefully solve the Korean question at the joint meeting
of the DPRK Central People's Committee and the Standing Committee of the Supreme
People's Assembly on 10 January. Now, here is the recorded version of the principal
contents of the discussion of Charge d'Affaires a.i. Kim Chang-kyu at the news
conterence.
[Begin Kim Chang-kvu recording] The joint meeting discussed important measures for the
across-the-board analysis of the prevailing situation in our country and for opening
an advantageous phase for peace and independence and the peaceful reunification of our
country.
As you know, tension on the Korean peninsula, especially the danger of a nuclear war,
has rapidly increased and has presently reached the state in which a new war may break
out at any moment. This is mainly related to the fact that the U.S. imperialists'
wicked aggressive maneuvers to try to make South Korea their own, eternal, colonial,
military base, and through it, to threaten the peace in Asia and the world are becoming
more naked than ever.
The United States is reinforcing aggressive armed forces in and around South Korea
and acceleratine the modernization of the South Korean (?armed forces). Particularly, the
United Stites is creating the danger of war by the annual holding for several recent vears
of Team Spirit joint military exercises as test wars or preliminary wars, which, in
fact, are not different from a real war. As reported already, this year, it established
the plan for the Team Spirit '84 military exercise, the largest-ever in scale, to start
on | February, and has already entered into preliminary exercises.
Despite this being the reality, citing the theory of the nonexistent southward invasion
threat, the United States is babbling about tne reinforcement of the U.S. troops
stationed in South Korea and the South Korean pweppet armed forces, and in reality,
accelerating new war preparations citing the theory of the nonexistent threat of south-
ward invasion. We have repeatedly made || clear, not just on one or two occasions,
that the so-called southward invasion thac ‘« United States and the South Korean author-
ities talk of cannot be and does not exist.
As far back as 10 vears ago, we proposed talks to conclude a peace agreement with the
United States. However, without showing any concern tor our proposal and sincere
efforts, the United States continues to instigate the South Korean authorities to a
war policy an! ceaselessly conducts anticommunism, anti-North, and anti-Republic
rackets.
lo Jan 84 D 3 PRC INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
NORTHEAST ASIA
\s mentioned earlier, in view of the tension prevailing in our country and the current
situation, the joint meeting unanimously recognized that it should take conclusive measures
to prevent the approaching danger of a nuclear war and to finally break open an advan-
tageous phase tor peace and independence and the peaceful reunification of the country,
and it took new measures to hold tripartite talks which also include the South Korean
suthorities, another party which is directly responsible for creating tension in Korea,
in our talks with the United States.
Our position in proposing tripartite talks at the joint meeting, is first of all, derived
trom the tact that the United States is the concerned party which is directly responsible
tor guaranteeing the peace in Korea and to eliminate the obstacle lying astride the road
ot the reunification of our country.
Deeply involving itself in the Korean question for the nearly 40 years since World
war il, the UnitedStates has not only stationed its own troops in South Korea and
srasped control of the South Korean Armed Forces, but also has, in fact, placed all of
South Korea under its own control and led the situation on the Korean peninsula to the
brink of war today. Secause of that, unless we meet directly and solve the questions,
the peaceful phase tor the fatherland's reunification can never be opened. The reason
why we have proposed the Korea-U.S. [chomi hoedam] talks for a long time and are keeping
the door open for dialogue lies nowhere but here.
Our position in proposing the tripartite talks is also derived from the fact that the
South Korean authorities are seeking confrontation with us by positively following the
United States, offering South Korea as a nuclear base for U.S. aggression in Asia, by
strengthening military collusion with Japan, and by riding the coattails of outside
forces. Im the tripartite talks that we proposed, the question of concluding a peace
igreement between Korea and the United States and of the withdrawal of U.S. troops from
South Korea should be discussed above all. The question is the basic guarantee for firm
peace in Korea and the condition that should be settled beforehand so that the Korean
people can solve their own questions independently and without the interference of
outside torces.
it has already been 30 years since the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed, and yet our
country's situation has remained under the uncertain status of armistice. This is the
inevitable product of the U.S. policy of strength. If the United States really aspires
to peace in Korea and Asia, as a signatory to the Korean Armistice Agreement, it should
aS a matter of course legally declare the end of the status of war in Korea, should pick
up its nuclear weapons in South Korea, and withdraw its troops.
it the Korea-U.S. peace agreement were concluded and the U.S. troops withdrawn from
South Korea, the source blocking our peace and the peaceful reunification of our
country would be gone and the prospect for the peaceful solution of the Korean
question would be firmly opened. If this situation develops, an environment which will
contribute to the normalization of Korea-U.S. relations will have been created, and the
United States would suffer no loss of face over the Korean question or to its relations
afterward.
In the tripartite talks, the question of adopting a declaration of nonaggression
between the North and South should be agreed upon. With the present situation left in-
tact where the vast armed forces of the North and South are in confrontation, the
aggravation of tension and armed conflict cannot be prevented. Because of that, we
insist that the nonaggression declaration containing the rational policies of firmly
promising mutual nunciation of use of force and attacking each other and of greatly
reducing the amount of troops and military equipment be adopted in the tripartite
talks.
[. lo Jan 84 D4 PRC INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
NORTHEAST ASIA
lt the Korea-U.5. peace agreement is concluded, the nonaggression declaration between
the North and South adopted, and the advantageous situation for the country's indepen-
dence and peacetul reunification arranged, then accordingly, acting on the 4 July
voutheNorth joint statement already agreed upon, the question of reunification should be
wived im contormity with the principles of independence, peace, and great national con-
solidation.
ihe most rational policy arising here is the setting up of a reunified country by the
method of torming a confederation -- a policy which is already receiving absolute
support and evaluation fromthe progressive peoples of the world -- which envisages
leaving intact the different ideologies and systems of the North and South and providing
autonomous rule for the two parts |of the confederation].
‘he contederal state of which we speak and which is based on regional autonomous rule,
will become an independent country not bonded to anyone, nor a satellite state of anyone,
and a neutral nation which will not join any bloc.
Along with this, if there is any rational proposal the opposing party makes in the tri-
partite talks, that also may be gladly presented. We are prepared to duly allow that.
thus, taking new measures for peaceful solution of the Korean question, the joint meet-
ing was convinced that the tripartite talks will be held at an early date and of our
positive efforts toward that end, and sent letters which fully contained the contents
outlined above to the U.S. Government, Congress, and the Seoul authorities, respectively.

(Text | On 10 January, the DPRK proposed tripartite talks among the North and South
Korea and the United States; and, in letters to the U.S. and South Korean authorities,
proposed, as the venue for the tripartite talks, Panmunjom or a third country which is
deemed convenient to the parties concerned. The proposal is evoking great interest
worldwide.
fhe world's opinion regards that, if the DPRK proposal were realized, a new phase would
be created to (?remove) tension on the Korean peninsula, and that it, therefore, would
be of great significance for peace and security in Asia.
fhe division on the Korean peninsula has continued for nearly 40 years. For such a
long time, the entire Korean people have yearned for the day when the people of the same
blood can live together happily with national reunification to come as soon as possible.
fhe northern side of Korea has made steady efforts to realize such aspirations as soon
as possible and has made a series of constructive proposals. For instance, the three
orinciples proposed by President Kim Il-song in 1972, i.e. the principles of indepen-
dence, grand national unity, and peaceful reunification, are the three principles of
Korean reunification mutually confirmed by Korea's North-South joint statement of 4 July
1972. I£ these principles had been realized then, the Korean peninsula would have
already been reunified.

Yet, tor these many years, the U.5. Government has uot only stationed its rruops
continuously in South Korea, but has continumisl!y built up U.S. troops in South Korea
and the South Korean Armed Forces and has instigated the South Korean authorities to
presistently reject the North's proposals. Hence, far from reunification, the division
between the North and the South has been worsened in Korea.
In view of the aggravated tension on the Korean peninsula today, the northern side of
Korea has again made an active proposal to convene comprehensive tripartite talks.
The novcthern side not only appealed to the U.S. side to hold talks to discuss a peace
agreement between Korea and the United States and the U.S. troops’ withdrawal from
South Korea, but also appealed to the South Korean authorities to hold talks to discuss
signing a mutual nonaggression declaration to further push ahead with the dialogue for
reunification.
this is avery well-timed and constructive proposal to ease the existing tension on the
Korean peninsual and is another important effort by the DPRK at the new year for
independent and peaceful national reunification. The proposal, therefore, is receiving
active support from the world's peace-loving people.
The Chinese Government and people actively support this new proposal of the DPRK. The
world's people are interested to see if the U.S. Government and the South Korean
authorities could find a way to evade the new step taken by the northern side of Korea,
on its own initiative, to provide a breakthrough in the tension on the Korean peninsula.
We hope that the United States and the South Korean authorities will respect the Korean
people's cause of reunification, respect peace and security in Asia, give up the
policy of strength, and will positively respond to the sincere appeal of the DPRK. Only
this would conform to the benefit and aspirations of all the Korean people, and it would
be 4a smart act that abides by the trend of history.

tions along the Chinese border in Yunnan Province and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous
Region since the beginning of this year, killing and wounding Chinese civilians, the
PEOPLE'S DAILY reported today.
From January 1 to 12, Vietnamese troops used heavy machineguns, anti-aircraft machine-

tility and Malipo County in Yunnan and, Pingxiang City, Longzhou County, Ningming County
and Fangcheng Autonomous Counties of various nationalities in Guangxi, the paper said.
From January 2 to 5, Vietnamese troops fired more than 500 rounds into Kejia area of
Longzhou County.
At 15:48 hours on January 5, Vietnamese troops fired at a group of workers on the
Dongping tarm in Hekou, Yunnan Province, from the forest on the other side of the Honghe

BEIJING COMMENTARY VIEWS SRV CEASE-FIRE PROPOSAL
OWL 31423 Beijing in Vietnamese to Vietnam 1100 GMT 13 Jan 84
(Li Guang commentary: "We Must Watch Not Only Their Words But Also Their Deeds"]
[Text] Predictably, well before the approach of the Lunar New Year festival, the
Vietnamese authorities have already begun to play the Tet cease-fire proposal farce.
As people may still recall, before last year's Lunar New Year festival, the Vietnamese
authorities also let it be known that they would observe a cease-fire unilaterally.
In reality, however, they stepped up their military provocations along the PRC-Vietnam
border. In 10 days alone, from 18 to 28 January last year, Vietnamese troops fired more
than 730 rounds from assorted weapons into China's Guangxi area, causing death and
injury to many Chinese civilians. In late August of last year, the Vietnamese authori-
ties again loudly proposed a cease-fire during the national day period. However, from
late August to late September, Vietnamese troops conducted more than 30 military provo-
cations along and intrusions into China's border areas. The Vietnamese authorities,
again resorting to an old trick, have advanced a Tet cease-fire proposal to be observed
along the PRC-Vietnam border, saying that in order to show their good will and con-
structive attitude, they would carry out that proposal.
However, judging from past experience, how can anyone believe in their good will? A
Chinese saying goes: We must watch not only their words but also their deeds. Facts
prove that the Vietnamese authorities’ words have not matched their deeds. Their recent
Tet cease-fire proposal is merely another propaganda ploy, aimed at deceiving the world
public.
[t is noteworthy that the Vietnamese authorities are accelerating their military activi-
ties on the Kampuchean battlefield and making preparations for launching a large-scale
drv-season offensive. Past experiences show that before they started the large-scale
military operation in Kampuchea, they feverishly stepped up their military provocations
I. 16 Jan 84 E 2 PRC INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
SOUTHEAST ASIA & PACIFIC
along the PRC-Vietnam border in order to divert the attention of the world public. The
Vietne wse authorities’ Tet cease-fire proposal is only aimed at concealing their mili-
tary provocations along the Sino-Vietnamese border and their new military adventures
on the Kempuchean battlefield. The Chinese Government has always observed the five
principles of peacetul coexistence and has a high regard for the long-standing friend-
ship between the two peoples of China and Vietnam. The current tension along the
Sino-Vietnamese border has been solely created by the Vietnamese authorities. If the
Vietnamese authorities stop their provocations, tranquillity will return along the
Sino-Vietnamese border and the border-area people of the two countries will be able to
celebrate the New Year festival peacefully.
In their note, the Vietnamese authorities proposed that an atmosphere conducive to
the improvement of Sino-Vietnamese relations be created. It is hoped that they will
demonstrate their goodwill with practical deeds. If they continue their war of aggres-
sion against Kampuchea and provoke China, the so-called creation of a conducive atmo-
sphere is just empty words. How the Vietnamese authorities will act remains to be seen.

BELJING ARTICLE ON SRV-CONTROLLED KAMPUCHEA
_
BKOYOO!? Beijing in Cambodian to Kampuchea 1030 GMT 7 Jan 84
Article” by station correspondent (Jian Hoa): "Kampuchea 5 Years After Vietnam's
Armed Invasion" ]
Text] Today's date -- 7 January -- reminds everybody of the abominable act committed 5
years ago bythe Vietnamese authorities when they sent 200,000 troops to invade and
occupy Phnom Penh, capital of Kampuchea, and then installed the Heng Samrin puppet
regime.
Lately, the puppet regime, the Vietnamese authorities, and the Soviet Government news
agency TASS have intensively ballyhooed the so-called achievements made by the Phnom
Penh puppet regime since the Vietnamese invasion. This is in an attempt to put a decent
facade on that criminal day, but it is a useless exercise. Let us take a look at the
so-called achievements made in the Vietnamese-controlled Kampuchean zone. Production
in the agricultural tield has not been successful and the people have led a difficult
lite.
Beautiful Kampuchea, which is rich in resources, was formerly called the granary of
Southeast Asia. At present, however, many fertile farm lands lie deserted. Formerly
Kampuchea had 2.5 million hectares of farmland. At present, there are only 1.4 million
hectares of arable land. Formerly, there were 2.5 million head of cattle, but now there
are only 75,100 head. The annual production of 300,000 metric tons of grain can serve
only one-third of the total demand in the country.
Under the assistance and direct command of Vietnamese nationals, the Phnom Penh puppet
regime has created the so-called Kampuchean army. This army, together with the
Vietnamese armed forces, has launched attacks against the armed forces resisting
the Vietnamese aggressors. Let us not discuss the size of that army but by merely taking
its role into consideration it is better for us to call it a shadow army. Inspired up by
the slogan: Khmers do not fight their fellow Khmers, many soldiers in the puppet army
have deserted or turned their guns against the Vietnamese aggressors. Things like
Vietnamese soldiers disarming members of the puppet army take place very often.
Five vears have elapsed. Not only have the Democratic Kampuchean National Army and
guerrillas survived the enemy's attacks, but they have grown up gradually. Moreover,
during the past 2 years, two other groups of Kampuchean armed forces resisting the
Vietnamese aggressors have also intensified their attacks against the enemy. The birth
of the CGDK has greatly intensified the Kampuchean people's united struggle against
the Vietnamese aggressors. Development of the situation and the Vietnamese acts com-
mitted in Kampuchean territory have provided a lesson to the people in the zone temporar-
ily controlled by the enemy. Thousands of people, including some high-ranking officials
of the puppet regime such as Dy Lamthol, fled from the Vietnamese-controlled zone. The
Kampuchean people have nurtured greater indignation at the Vietnamese aggressors. The
Phnom Penh puppet regime has become more seriously isolated on the international arena.
Although the Soviet Union and Vietnam have launched all kinds of maneuvers, every year
the UN General Assembly gives its recognition to Democratic Kampuchea's legitimate seat
at the United Nations.
At the 38th UN General Assembly, which was held in 1983, SRV Foreign Minister Nguyen Co
Thach, who used to justify the Vietnamese aggression, dared not raise the problem of the
Kampuchean seat. Only a small number of the total of over 100 countries in the world
recognize the Kampuchean puppet regime. This is why Vietnamese authorities have decided
to organize a Vietnam-Kampuchea solidarity month, saying that proper arrangement of
activities to mark the fifth anniversary of the Vietnamese seizure of Phnom Penh is of
great significance. To be honest, the Heng Samrin regime has made some achievements.
During the past 5 vears, at least 400,000 Vietnamese nationals have settled in Kampuchea.
But the Phnom Penh puppet regime, the Vietnamese authorities, and the Soviet propaganda
machine pretend to forget this great achievement!

|Commentator's article: "It Is Not the Case That ‘It Has Come Again'"|
[text] The preparatory study for party rectification has already begun. A vast number
of party members are now conscientiously studying the documents concerning party recti-
fication to acquire a comprehensive understanding and make preparations for the next
stage of party rectification. Along with the study of documents, our comrades on the
ideological tront are also engaging in the drive to oppose and eliminate spiritual
pollution. The broad masses of party members have full confidence in the current party
rectification and in the future of the party and the country.
Nevertheless, a small number of comrades still have doubts and misgivings and they have
asked in anxiety: "Has it come again?" They worry that the "party rectification and
anti-rightist movement" which took place in 1957 will recur and they worry that the
kind of "political movement" in which ruthless struggle was waged, merciless blows were
dealt, and everybody worried about his own safety will appear again.
Such worries are understandable but groundless. The first reason is that our party
has correctly summed up past experience and lessons. Having made a decision to discard
the slogan of “taking class struggle as the key link," the 3d Plenary Session of the
lith CPC Central Committee adopted the strategy of shifting the focal point of work to
socialist modernization. In the "Resolution on Certain Questions in the History of Our
Party Since the Founding of the PRC," adopted by the 6th Plenary Session of the llth
CPC Central Committee, it is clearly stipulated: ‘We must never deviate from this
focus, except in the event of a large-scale invasion by the foreign enemy (and even
then it will still be necessary to carry on such economic construction as wartime
conditions require and permit). On this premise, our party has drawn correct conclu-
sions from past experience and lessons regarding how to handle various relations within
the party and among the people and how to unfold ideological struggle.
The second reason is that all party members and people throughout the country suffered
much in the turmoil of the "Great Cultural Revolution,” and what happened remains fresh
in their memory. The broad masses of people will certainly unanimously rise up against
whoever "provokes revolution in total disregard of the party committee," makes
exaggerated criticism, wages ruthless scruggle, deals merciless blows, undermines
socialist modernization, and tries to upset the political situation of stability and
unity.
the third reason is that the decision on party rectification formulated at the 2d
Plenary Session of the 12th CPC Central Committee has clearly stated the tasks, poli-
cles, steps, and methods for party rectification. The basic method to be used in the
current party rectification is to carry out criticism and self-criticism based on a
conscientious study of documents concerned and the enhancement of ideological under-
standing to distinguish right from wrong, correct mistakes, and purify our organizations
Throughout the course of the party rectification, it is necessary to strengthen
ideological education to enhance ideological understanding among the broad masses of
party members. The "decision" definitely declares that the current party rectification
would deal only with those problems within our party. Besides, it is also stipulated
in the "decision": "All problems in the party rectification must be solved through
discussion by the party organizations concerned. One is not allowed to repeat the
wrong practice of ‘party rectification by the masses,’ which means the masses who are
not party members decide on party issues." The “decision” has paid attention to guard-
ing against carrving out party rectification in a perfunctory manner as well as guarding
against the past practice of ruthless struggle and merciless blows.

Ot course, we should always keep a clear head. In the entire process of party recti-
fication, we should go about things in accordance with the guideline and methods con-
cerning party rectification proposed by the CPC Central Committee. We should constantly
pay attention to carrying forward the tine tradition of the party and to avoiding past
mistakes. In the meantime, we should watch out for some people who try to fish in
troubled waters and seduce us to commit mistakes by hook or by crook. As long as we do
this, we will ensure the healthy development of party rectification work, We will use
tacts to dispel misgivings of a small number of comrades about whether "it has come
wain,.”
Some comrades asked: Why should we advocate the elimination of spiritual pollution
while carrying out party rectification?
One of the purposes of the party rectification is to unify our thinking. Without
unified thinking, it will be impossible for us to take concerted action and to enhance
our combat effectiveness. To unify our thinking, we should eliminate spiritual pollu-
tion. To party organizations which are working on the ideological front, the elimina-
tion of spiritual polllution is an important content of party rectificetion. The spir-
itual pollution which we mention here is a problem inside the party, which belongs
to contradictions within the ranks of the people. Obscene books, paintings, recording
tapes, and videotapes which are created, sold, and spread by criminal elements are a
kind of pollution, a toxic pollution. Since all these are considered criminal behavior,
‘hose who engage in them should be punished according to law. All these should not be
contused with spiritual pollution among our comrades.
To eliminate spiritual pollution, we should strengthen ideological education. We
should first organize party members, party member cadres in particular, to conscienti-
ously study Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought and the documents for party rectifica-
tion to enhance their ideological understanding. Apart from that, we should carry
out serious and proper criticism and self-criticism to make a clear distinction between
right and wrong, and cure the sickness to save the patient. We should achieve the
two-fold objective of clarity in ideology and unity among comrades.
Carrying out ideological education and conducting criticism and self-criticism is a
fine tradition of our party. Carrying out party rectification and eliminating spiri-
tual pollution is not and should not be regarded as a campaign of “making people suffer.’
It is not the case that "it has come again." Carrying out party rectification and
eliminating spiritual pollution is a restoration of the party's fine tradition of ideo-
logical education, criticism, and self-criticism.

fhe article says: Conducting study, discussions and party rectification and correcting

and apply our party's revolutionary style of study unde. the new historical conditions.
The article stresses: In short, it is necessary to correct errors in order to facili-
tate study, discussions and party rectification. At present the focus of our study,
discussions, party rectification and efforts to correct errors is on correcting the
evil practice of seeking private interests through abuse of power and job facilities as
well as on correcting the bureaucratic style marked by irresponsibility to the party and
the people.
[. 16 Jan 84 K 3 CHINA

In other words, efforts to rectify party style must yield results. Through study, dis-
cussion, party rectification and correction of errors at the same time, we should
eftectively bolster party members' confidence and enhance their consciousness in carry-
ing out party rectification; understand, through discussion, the trends of important
issues to be solved by their respective units; and settle these issues one by one. Only
in this way can we avoid perfunctoriness in party rectification, greatly enhance the
party's prestige, improve its image and increase its reputation,
Conducting study, discussion and party rectification and correcting errors simultane-
ously is an important principle that should be implemented in its entirety in the course
of studying documents. We should thoroughly study the documents on party rectification,
completely master their spiritual essence and achieve unity in understanding the basic
principles, tasks and policies in party rectification. The masses will judge whether we
are determined or perfunctory in party rectification by the overall outcome of party
rectification, but they also base their judgment on whether we can now conduct study,
discussion and party rectification and correct errors at the same time. They do not
like people who only verbally reassert their attitudes. One single deed outweighs
10 empty phrases. From now on, if we could make a few breaktrhoughs by satisfactorily
solving the problems of utmost concern to the masses which bear universal significance,
we would lift the peoples’ spirits, make overall progress and create a new situation in
party rectification.
The article says: A powerful leading body and exemplary conduct of leading cadres are a
kev to etfectively conducting party rectification and correcting errors simultaneously.
fhe pertinent problems will be thoroughly handled to yield good results only if the
leaders observe party spirit and principles and dare to tackle tough issues. Every
leading cadre engaged in party rectification should strictly analyze himself and be bold
to sincerely and realistically criticize his own shortcomings and mistakes as well as
those of other leading cadres. The current emphasis is on rectifying work style, solv-
ing the problems of bureaucratism and seeking private interests through power abuse.
Our leading cadres should demonstrate their consciousness in these areas accordingly.
DENG LIQUN PROPAGANDA WORKERS ‘CLEAR HEAD'
HK121446 Beijing GUANGMING RIBAO in Chinese 23 Dec 83 p l
[Article by Deng Liqun: "Propaganda Workers Must Maintain a Clear Head" -- based on his
speech at the central party school on 4 June 1983 and carried in first issue of LILUN
YUFKAN [THEORETICAL MONTHLY] published by the central party school]
{Text] In reality, the propaganda work we are talking about includes the party's entire
ideological and propaganda work. It is an important field of work related to the situa-
tion as a whole. Comrade Chen Yun once said: Whether or not a good job has been per-
formed in economic work and in propaganda work greatly concerns whether or not the
economic situation and the politicial situation can achieve a stable development. This
has thus placed propaganda work in the new era on a footing of strategic importance. It
has driven us to the need of constantly maintaining a clear head so that our propaganda
work can conform with the demands of the development of socialist modernized construc-
tion and also with the demands of the party's work and the vast masses of people.
In maintaining a clear head, it is most important to have a correct understanding and
erasp of the party's road, guidelines, and policies and to know the general political
situation, thereby truly maintaining a unanimity in politics with the party Central
Committee. Since the 3d Plenary Session of the llth CPC Central Committee, a series of
important policies have been formed by the party in accordance with a firm insistence
on the Marxist ideological line of starting from reality, linking theory with reality,
being practical and realistic, and examining truth and development it in practice. The
I. 16 Jan 84 K 4 CHINA
PRC NATIONAL AFFAIRS
all-round development of a new situation of socialist modernized construction concerns
the basic interests of the people of the various nationalities of the country and, in
fact, the country's general political situation. Our propaganda work must firmly abide
by the spirit of the l2th CPC National Congress and must not be against it. Our propa-
ganda workers must in great warmth propagate the spirit of the 12th congress and must in
no way overtly agree but covertly oppose it. There is little doubt that realization of
the four modernizations requires advanced equipment and technology and a continuously
improving economic mechanism and so on, and that in these spheres a large amount of
tedious and difficult work has yet to be done.
However, it should be noted that ideological and political work is the lifeline of
economic work and all other work. Only in performing ideological and political work
well, raising the patriotic, socialist, and communist ideas and consciousness of the
people, and arousing a high degree of revolutionary warm feelings and spirit of respon-
sibility among the people can we perform other lines of work well and realize the
gigantic and strategic targets of our party and state. Naturally, strengthening politi-
cal and ideological work is the job of the entire party and the responsibility of each
and every communist party member, member of the Communist Youth League, and cadre of the
state, but, first and foremost, it is a responsibility that cannot be shirked by the
propaganda workers. Comrades of the various departments of propaganda work, including
theoretical workers, literary and art workers, educational workers, publishing workers,
and news workers, must all improve their understanding, perform ideological and politi-
cal work well, and turn out good products that have fighting power, are convincing, and
can attract and influence people. They should publish these good products, enthusias-
tically propagate the four basic principles, the four political guarantees, the party's
road, guidelines, and policies, and the people's creative spirit and their spirit of
sacrifice in carrving out socialist construction and, concurrently with firm insistence
on building a high degree of material civilization, strengthen the building of socialist
spiritual civilization. It is necessary to keep a cool head, to adopt an analytical
attitude for all things and to cultivate the habit of making analyses. In Marxism,
thoroughgoing materialism and thoroughgoing dialectics are organically linked together.
In talking about the cultivation of a habit of making analyses, we mean that we must
employ the viewpoint of materialist dialectics to look at problems. This is also the
scientific method advocated by Comrade Mao Zedong. Addressing the national propaganda
work conference held in March 1957, Comrade Mao Zedong said: "The analytical method is
a dialectical method. So-called analysis is the analysis of the contradictions of
things." (Footnote 1) ("Selected Works of Mao Zedong," Vol 5, p 413) Only in adopting
a practical and realistic attitude of mind in making a concrete analysis of things can
one-sidedness be avoided and can there be a correct understanding of complex social
phenomena, without distorting the original appearance of objective things.
For example, in daily life we come across this theory and that theory. It must be
admitted that things against one's wishes are many and repetitious and usually remain so
for some time. People's talk and discontent in general can be looked at from two sides.
On the one hand, just as Stalin mentioned, if we fail to consider the changes to the
workers and peasants on account of the development of socialist construction enterprises,
then we cannot command leadership over the masses. "Following the enhancement of the
enthusiasm of the working class and the raising to a higher plane of their demands, the
workers have become more sensitive to the defects in our work and they are more rigid in
their demands." (Footnote 2) ("Complete Works of Stalin," Vol 9, p 143) This illus-
trates that our party's work and our socialist construction have progressed forward.
Our exising problems and the various sorts of discontent among the people should be
mainly interpreted on this score.
Il. 16 Jan 84 K 5 CHINA
PRC NATIONAL AFFAIRS
At the same time, there are truly problems on the other side. As the situation develops,
various sorts of people will speak out and various sorts of ideas and thought will be
expressed. At the present moment, although the exploiting class has vanished as a
class and class struggle is no longer the main contradiction, the influences of the
thoughts of the exploiting class and of the non-proletariat cannot follow the change in
the social structure and vanish in rapid order. Moreover, just as pointed out in the
party's "Resolution on Certain Historical Problems Since the Founding of the PRC," "due
to domestic factors and international influence, class struggle will continue to exist
within a certain limit for a prolonged period in the country and, under certain condi-
tions, may become intensified." It should be clearly seen that even among the erroneous
and one-sided theories and viewpoints, by far the great majority pertain to the problem
of thought-understanding and are of a benign nature. We should in real earnest listen
to the views of various sides. We should humbly accept all criticisms that are in the
right and should, in turn, earnestly improve our work. As for criticisms that are not
right, we should explain the state of affairs concerned. Naturally, this does not dis-
count the possibility of the existence of hostile elements in the social structure who
villify and distort our party's guidelines and policies and resort to various tactics
to attack the four basic principles and attempt to shake and overthrow our country's
socialist regime.
At present, on the whole, the situation is a good one. New developments have cropped
up unceasingly. We must constantly notice and study new conditions and new problems.
However, hostile elements and the influence of corrupt houghts of other non-proletarian
elements still exist. Comrade Deng Xiaoping has said: "The opening up of external
relations will mean the infiltration of the corrupt things of capitalism, and the
extent to which we should enliven the domestic economy will also be a problem."
(Footnote 3) ("Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping," p 364) This is advice to us that the
more we open up our external relations, the more we enliven our domestic economic, and
the more we proceed with various reforms, the more we must insist on abiding by the
basic principles of Marxism and maintain the purity of communism. As for the new condi-
tions and problems that have arisen, we must also make an intensive investigation and
study of them and adopt a concrete analytical attitude and not a blind attitude. Con-
cerning the new-born things of socialism and progressive things, we must give them full
and warm support. Nonetheless, we must still be on the lookout against the use of the
cloak of "new things" as a disguise to sell antiquated and corrupt wares. Things
that look "new'' may not all be new-born things of socialism.
On the thought and theoretical front and on the literary and art front, rather enormous
results have been achieved in the past few years. This has played a positive role in
the restoration of order out of chaos, in socialist modernized construction, and in the
entire work of our party, and indeed must be confirmed. But there are still many prob-
lems in existence, and some of the problems are rather serious ones. Among a very
small minority of people are individual Communist Party members who, hoisting the ban-
ner of "thoroughgoing thought liberation," are opposed to Marxism and Mao Zedong Thought,
the socialist system, the party's leadership, and the people's democratic dictatorship.
Some people have gambled for "strange things" from the West, but what they have gained
were rotten things and things which had already beencriticized by Marxism. They put on
these things the label of "new ideas," allowing them to spread bad and rotten air among
people, to pollute and poison people's hearts and souls, to disrupt people's thought,
and generally to harm the construction of socialist material civilization and spiritual
civilization. The articles and propaganda materials on so-called "Marxist humanism"
and “socialist alienation" have already generated very unhealthy influences. In par-
ticular, their pessimistic influence on a portion of the youngsters and students has
been great.
I. 16 Jan 84 K 6 CHINA
PRC NATIONAL AFFAIRS
All the comrades among us engaging in propaganda work have the responsibility of
adopting a Marxist-Leninist attitude, earnestly analyzing the various kinds of erroneous
thought patterns, and striving to eliminate spiritual pollution so that our youths and
other constituents of society may gradually evolve into socialist workers who are imbued
with theright tdeology and are virtuous, cultured, and able to abide by discipline,
In order to maintain a clear hec i, propaganda workers must devote the utmost efforts to
learning, particularly studying the basic theories of Marxism and Mao Zedong Thought.
A follower of communism should regard theories highly. As a member of the Communist
Party, one should maintain unanimity in politics with the party Central Committee, and
to maintain this unanimity, learning is essential. In particular, comrades doing
propaganda work are bound to meet with many theoretical problems, ideological problems
and practical problems every day. If they are not fully prepared in the theoretical
field, they will be unable to discern many problems, to analyze them, or to correctly
propagate the party's road, guidelines, and policy. The party Central Committee has
designated the study of the "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" as a means to unify the
thought ot the whole party, to prepare thought for party rectification. This is an
exceedingly important measure. The "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" centrally demon-
strates the new successes of our party in firmly insisting on and developing Mao Zedong
Thought under the new historical conditions. Propaganda workers should first of all
earnestly study and study this book well, understand its basic thought, and grasp
its stand, viewpoint, and method; otherwise, they will not be able to perform their own
work well.
Propaganda work itself is rather complex and meticulous. It may involve many problems,
Much skill its required to achieve good results in propaganda work. Propaganda workers
and ideological and political workers are the architects of the soul of mankind. They
help people to formulate the world outlook vf dialectical materialism and historical
materialism. This is a branch of learning well worth learning throughout life and, as
an enterprise, is good for us to take as a lifelong career. It is an indivisible part
of the whole party structure. In the course of China's revolution, thousands of our
predecessors in revolution have sacrificed their lives. We must constantly think of
them and learn from their spirit. If only we can firmly believe in communism's
inevitable victory and display the spirit of sacrifice for the sake of communist enter-
prises, was can surely overcome all difficulties, perform our work well, and make
contributions to the people.
COMMENTATOR ON RURAL SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY
HK121148 Beijing RENMIN RIBAO in Chinese 10 Jan 84 p 1
{Commentator's article: "The Work To Popuiarize Science and Technology Must Keep Abreast
of the New Rural Situation"]
[Text] A number of advanced collectives and individuals that have made important con-
tributions to work in popularizing science and technology in agriculture and forestry
are commended and awarded prizes by the state. This is a matter of great significance
in the agricultural field. It will inevitably promote the work in popularizing science
and technology and the further development of the rural economy.
Since the system of contracted responsibilities with payment linked to output was
implemented in the vast rural areas of our country, the situation has grown better
and better with each passing year. Great achievements have been made in implementing
policies and in popularizing science and technology, too.
I. 16 Jan 84 K 7 CHINA
PRC NATIONAL AFFAIRS
Of course, as is clear to everybody, the rapid growth in agricultural production is
chietly because of the power of policy, and the power of policy will still be tremendous
in the days to come. However, from a long-term point of view, the future of agriculture
in our country lies in technological transformation; still greater potentialities of
agriculture are yet to be exploited by science and technology. When we are implementing
varions policies of the party concerning the rural areas, it is imperative for us to attach
still greater importance to the spreading of science and technology in the rural areas.
The work to popularize science and technology in the rural areas is an important component
part of work in agricultural science and technology. If new technological results are
to be converted into productive force, there needs to be a tie and a bridge, and this ts
work in popularizing science and technology. Ocherwise, advanced as it is, technology
will not be converted into realistic produc.ive force. Any views that look down upon work
in popularizing science and technology are wrong.
At the national conference on agricultural work convened before the new year, leading
comrades at the central level pointed out: "The rural areas of our country are in the
course of developing from a self-sufficient and semi-self-sufficient economy to commodity
production on a large scale. This is the maintrend and the general background of the
economic activities engaged in by the Chinese peasants of the 1980's." Workers who
engage in popularizing agricultural science and technology should adapt themselves
to this new situation in the rural areas, profoundly understand this general background
and that the principal contribution of the peasants to socialist modernization is to
provide more and better commodities to the cauntry. The spreading of science and
technological results should not be focused on agricultural production only, attention
should also be attached to the needs of newly developed industries such as fodder,
foodstuff processing, building materials, and small-type energy resources. Still more
important for us is to change our perception of taking only production into consideration,
with no regard to the circulation of commodities. We should unfold the work in spreading
the breadth of technology in the field: of processing, storing. and shipping and measures
to be taken before and after production. It is essential for leadership at various
levels and workers engaged in spreading science and technology to follow closely the
chaneine situation and incessantly studv and solve the new tonics put forth in practice
to brine into plays still greater power in the work of spreading agricultural science and
technoloev.
In order to suit the new situation of the rural areas, it is necessary to carry out needed
reform in the work of spreading science and technology in the various aspects of struc-
ture. svstem. policies. and measures. In recent years, while the specialized contingent
of science and technology has been strengthened to some extent, there has gradually
appeared in the rural areas a grand contingent of 4 million peasant technicians and
households engaged in the study of science and technology and flexible and varfied forms
in spreading science and technology. What is worth our particular attention is the
setting up of centers of popularizing science and technology and the implementation of
various forms of the svstem of contracted responsibilities with technology. The former
links exemplary experiments and training with the work to popularize science and tech-
nology, with remarkable results, and is warmly welcomed by the masses. The latter
utilizes the form of contract and economic means, linking closely with the authorities,
responsibilities, and advantages of both parties so that the spreading of technology will
be carried out on a sound basis. It is necessary for us to spread these new experiences,
suiting measures to local conditions, to continuously carry out reform thoroughly to
strengthen the culture, training, and improvement of the contingent of science and
technology.

COMMENTATOR STRESSES FCONOMIC RESULTS OVER SPEED
OW1L50622 Beijing XINHUA Domestic Service in Chinese 1237 GMT 14 Jan 84
(XINHUA Commentator's article: "We Need Speed, But We Need Economic Results Even More"]
[Text] Beijing, 14 Jan (XINHUA) -- China has scored spectacular achievements in indus-
trial production during 1983. China's 1983 national industrial output value and the output
value of some its major industrial products have not only exceeded its 1983 plan but also
fulfilled, 2 vears ahead of schedule the target set for 1985 in China's Sixth Five-Year
Plan. This inspiring event has made people realize: China is able to develop its industry
and agriculture tairly rapidly. It is able to fulfill comprehensively the various
targets set by the Sixth Five-Year Plan in these fields and thus achieve its magnificant
goal of quadrupling its gross annual value of industrial and agricultural production
by the end of this century.
Naturally, we should not overestimate the achievements we have already scored in indus-
tirl production. Right now, some of our light industrial products are still not
readily marketable, while some high-quality and famous-brand products are still in short
supply. Energy and some industrial materials, which have already fulfilled the targets
set by the Sixth Five-Year Plan, are still far from satisfying our needs. Also, the
economic results in producing either light or heavy industrial products are still quite
unsatisfactory and far frommeeting the requirements set by the Sixth Five-Year Plan.
For example, let us talk about an important index of economic results -- the production
cost of comparable products. The Sixth Five-Year Plan requires that state-run enter-
prises in China reduce their production costs by 1 to 2 percent a year. However, this
index actually rose in 1983 and 1982 instead of dropping. Production costs in the first
Ll months in 1983 were only reduced by 0.4 percent as compared with the corresponding
period in 1982. Many enterprises have also failed to fulfill some targets set by the Sixt
Five-Year Plan for economic results such as improving production quality, reducing
energy consumption and raising the rate of utilization of rolled steel, the rate of
productivity, as well as the turnover rate of circulating funds. Some enterprises, have
ben retrogressed. The profits and taxes for each 100-yuan of capital in industrial
production totalled 24.8 yuan in 1980. That was reduced to about 23.5 yuanin 1982, and
it was also reduced in 1983. This situation merits our full attention.
Our past experience tells us: We cannot talk about economic results without taking
the speed of development into consideration. Nor can we concentrate just on speed of
development while ignoring economic results. Some of the enterprises have high pro-
duction output, but their production quality is poor. Two or three such enterprises are
not as good as oneturning out high-quality products. Their contributions to society
are not necessarily higher than those that turn out fewer but finer quality products.
Production costs of some enterprises are 100 percent or higher than those of an
advanced enterptise, but the higher their rate of growth, the greater their wastes
are in social wealth, such as energy, raw and other materials. As for those enter-
prises that turn out unmarketable products and whose products are being stockpiled
in warehous2:3 as soon as they leave factories, they are, of course, not helpful,but
harmful.
I. 16 Jan 84 K 9 CHINA
PRC NATIONAL AFFAIRS
In this regard, we have committed some errors in doing our economic work and suffered
a great deal, In recent years, we have made some progress in improving economic results,
However, we have not tundamentally changed much, In reviewing our 1983 achievements in
industrial production, we believe that leading cadres at all levels and the broad masses
of workers in our industrial departments will soberly understand this point and will in
no way teel conceited just because our total industrial output value and some of our pro-
ducts have fulfilled, ahead of schedule, the quantitative targets set by the Sixth Five-
Year Plan, During the new year, we must redouble our efforts to improve economic re-
sults, and strive to fulfill, in an overall manner, the various targets set by the Sixth
Five-Year Plan in increasing the tempo of development and improving economic results.
In short, we need speed, but we need economic results even more,

output value has exceeded the target of 605 billion yuan set for 1985 in China's Sixth
Five-Year Plan, The average annual growth rate between 1°31 and 1983 was 7.3 percent,
far above the projected annual growth rate of four to five percent for the five-year
period,
The output value of light ind ‘ry last year was 298 billion yuan, 8.4 percent more than
in 1982 while that of heavy industry was 309.6 billion yuan for a growth rate of 12.1
percent, The ratio between light and heavy industrial output value was 49.6 to 50.4.
The annual quotas for 86 major products were fulfilled or overfulfilled while the produc-
tion of varns, chemical fiber fabrics, radios and large tractors were restricted. The
output of 33 products hit the targets originally set for 1985, They included steel, pig
iron, rolled steel, chemical fertilizer, sulphuric acid, caustic soda, plastics, cement,
paper, paper board, washing machines and tape recorders. The Statistical Bureau said
that in 1983 China's industry turned out more marketable products. Sales of building
materials, metallurgical products and chemicals, small farm machines and implements,
chemical fertilizer, highly efficient pesticides with low toxic residue and machinery
were brisk. Most of the light industrial goods and electronic products registered brisk
sales,
Quality and variety also improved, the bureau said. According to a survey of 75 products
the quality of 64 of them showed some improvement or remained at the same level as in
1982. More than 500 products were awarded gold or silver medals by the state. The pro-
fits and taxes delivered to the state by enterprises covered by the state budget in the
first Ll months increased 6.5 percent over the same period of last year, The deficits
reported by state enterprises running at a loss in the first 11 months were 30.6 percent
less than in the same period of 1982, The all-employee productivity grew 7.7 percent
and the time rcguiced for working capital turnover was reduced by 5.4 percent. The
volume of cargo handled by railways in 1983 increased 4.5 percent and that of passengers
rose 6.3 percent. The plans for transporting coal, grain, chemical fertilizer and other
major materials were overfulfilled. The annual targets for handling were also met. The
industrial situation in 1983 was on the whole good, said the Statistical Bureau. But
the economic results were still not satisfactory. Energy and industrial materials were
still in short supply and transportation remained to be improved.

"We Must Persist in Educating the Peasants by Positive
[Text] The 800 million peasants feel happy and work and live in peace and contentment.
This is so important to the country.
In recent years, with the successive bumper harvests
and gradual improvements in living conditions, the peasants have been exultant. They
have a greater faith in the party's leadership and love socialism more. A stable and
united situation with an enlivened economy, which has been absent for many years, has
emerged in the rural areas.

To be sure, not all things in the rural areas are as good as we wish them to be.

It is not so easy to bring about such an excellent situa-
There
For example, some people occupy culti-
vated land and build houses by force, seize public property, and run illegal under-
takings; in some areas, unhealthy tendencies such as feudal superstition, gambling,
theft, robbery, mercenary marriages, and so on are quite serious; some grassroots cadres
seek personal gains by capitalizing on their powers or try to make money by illegal
means. In handling these problems, attention should be paid to drawing distinctions in
accordance with the party's policy.
It is necessary to adopt a cautious attitude in
solving them. As for the problems which concern the peasants, aside from the very few
cases of violation of the law and criminal offenses which must be handled according to
the law, most are cases of contradictions between the advanced and the backward and
between what is right and what is wrong, which are problems of ideology and understand-
ing among the people.

In handling these problems among the people, we absolutely cannot
Neither the violent "repeated
struggles," such as those waged during the 10 years of turmoil, nor the method of
"repeated deduction of payment,’
that is, the method of imposing fines, will do. By
doing this, the peasants will be forced to do something of which they are not convinced
and confusion will result.
If we try to solve the problem of ideology and understanding

by launching movements, outwardly we look vigorous. In effect, it is like the rain
which wets the topsoil, The problem is not really solved. This has been proven by
practice in past years.
Recently, the CPC Central Committee decided not to raise the slogan of eliminating
spiritual pollution in the rural areas. This decision was made by considering the
elimination of spiritual pollution as principally an effort to solve the problems on
the theoretical and literature and art fronts. In addition, the problems of avoiding
misunderstanding in the rural areas and of preventing people from spreading doubt about
the party's rural policy by taking the advantage of the elimination of spiritual pollu-
tion, copying the past "leftist" way of solving the peasants' ideological problems,
causing ideological contusion, or causing losses in production and construction have
also been considered. Leading comrades at all levels in the rural areas should not
relax their ideological and political work in the rural areas simply because the slogan
ot eliminating spiritual pollution is not raised there. They should strengthen their
ideological and political work in the rural areas. In addition to unceasingly develop-
ing the economy and improving living conditions, they should educate the peasants in
patriotism and socialism by means accpetable to the masses. They should also educate
them to take the state, collective, and individual into consideration at the same time
and strenethen the work to popularize general education and scientific and technological
knowledge so that more and more peasants will become new peasants with lofty ideals,
moral integrity, education, and a sense of discipline. This is an important task in
building a socialist spiritual civilization.
in handling the problems concerning the peasants’ ideological understanding, we must
insist on positive education, teach them with skill and patience, sort out problems for
them, guide them, and let the peasants observe, think, make comparisons, and practice
on their own so that they can improve their understanding and distinguish what is right
trom what is wrong. In recent years, various parts of the country have come up with
many good methods for giving the peasants positive education under the new circumstances.
For example, we can launch the "five stresses, four beauties, and three loves" drive,
draw up rules and write pledges, appraise the "five good" families through comparison,
build centers for cultural activities, establish science and technology popularization
stations, build civility villages, and so on. All these methods are effective. In the
new year, we should devote more effort to this work. In addition to giving impetus to
building material civilization, we should enthusiastically build spiritual civilization
so that greater achievements will be made in building the two civilizations.

[Excerpts] Beijing, 14 Jan (XINHUA) -- The representatives to the Second Congress of

Comrade Fang Yt spoke at the opening ceremony. He said: The Party Central Committee
and the State Council] have always attached great importance to the works of popular
sclence. As skilled personnel are needed in building the four modernizations, the dis-
semination of sctentitic and technical knowledge through social education provides many
opportunities tor training skilled personnel. He added: Quite a few scientists and
technictans have written many books on popular science. Gao Shiqi's books are quite
good. Pertodicals published by popular science workers such as WUXLANDIAN [RADIO],
HANGKONG ZHISHL [AVIATION KNOWLEDGE} and ZHISHL JLUSHI LILIANG [KNOWLEDGE LS POWER] are
very popular among the readers. However, the works of popular science in our country
today are tar trom satisfying the needs of the vast numbers of readers both in quantity
and quality and also unable to cope with the situation in which we strive to accomplish
the modernization program and quadruple the annual gross value of industrial and agri-
cultural output by the end of this century. He urged popular science writers, while
writing more books on popular science, to pay attention to scientific content and not to
write works that are unscientific. They must also pay attention to universality so that
their books can be read by readers in various circles. The scientific content must be
expressed in good Literary form so that the book can give systematic guidance as well as
attract readers. He also urged famous scientists to take the lead in writing books on
popular science. For this purpose, he called on the Chinese Association of Popular
Science Writers to organize and train a powerful contingent of popular science writers.
Fang Zongxi, vice chairman of the Council of the Association, pointed out in his opening
speech that popular science workers must disseminate scientific and technical knowledge
indispensible in building socialist material civilization and at the same time shoulder
the responsibility as "engineers of the soul" in building socialist spiritual civiliza-
tion. On behalf of the outgoing council, Wen Jize, acting chairman of the council of
the association, made a work report at the congress. It has been reported that the con-
wress is expected to last 5 days. Aside from electing a new council, it will also com-
mend several veteran scientists and popular science writers who have made distinguished
contributions to popular science in our country. Leading comrades of the China Associa-
tion for Science and Technology Zhou Peiyuan, Pei Lisheng, Wang Shuntong and Bao Yishan

the whole army to extensively publicize and conscientiously study the deeds otf the
advanced units and exemplary persons, and, taking them as models, to strive to do a
better job in the work ot various ttelds.,
The PLA General Logistics Department held the meeting to commend the exemplary deeds of
the Construction Engineering Research Institute, which has been conterred with a collec-
tive Merit Citation, Second Class by the Central Military Commission, and of some per-
sonnel of the No 4 PLA Medical University, who participated in rushing to rescue people
who met with mishaps in Huashan.
In his speech, Yang Shangkun highly commended the exemplary deeds of the Construction
Engineering Research Institute and of some personnel of the No 4 PLA Medical University.
He said: It ts of great significance to commend these two advanced collectives at the
time of our party rectitication. Everyone of us should take the advanced persons as the
model. A Communist Party member is required not to be a Communist Party member in a
casual sense, nor a roughly qualified one. Members of the whole party, especially those
in the PLA and, tirst of all, party member-cadres, are required to be distinguished com-
munists. We should set the standard a little higher so that the commanders and fighters
of the People's Army can really become "the most beloved persons." Yang Shangkun said:
Not everyone can have the opportunity to go to Huashan to carry a stretcher, but all of
us Should emulate this spirit. Comrades of the whole army should learn from these
exemplary persons in daring to overcome difficulties, fearing neither death nor hardships
and struggling tor the cause of communism,
In his speech, Yu Qiuli said: Commending and publicizing the exemplary deeds of the
advanced units is of great significance for doing a good job in party rectification work,
promoting the building of socialist spiritual civilization and accelerating our Army's
revolutionalization, modernization and regularization. He said: In emulating these
exemplary deeds, it is necessary to, first, make determined efforts to instill communist
ideology into the cadres and fighters and raise their consciousness in a fundamental
way so that they can tirmly trust the Communist Party leadership and strengthen their
conviction in the ultimate victory of socialism and communism; second, vigorously publi-
cize the typical examples of the advanced that sparkle with radiance of communist
ideoloewy and guide the cadres and fighters to foster correct outlook on life and oppose,
resist and eliminate the influences of the ideologies of the bourgeoisie and other
exploiting classes; and third, actively guide the cadres and fighters to conscientiously
struggle for communism while performing the great task of defending the motherland and
building the tour modernizations.
Representatives of the Construction Engineering Research Institute under the PLA General
Logistics Department and the personnel of the No 4 PLA Medical University who partici-
pated in rushing to rescue people who met with mishaps in Huashan said in their speeches
that they will guard against arrogance and rashness and study hard in order to make
further progress in their work. Hong Xuezhi, Deputy Secretary General of the Military
Commission of the CPC Central Committee and Director of the PLA General Logistics Depart-
ment, presided over the meeting. Wang Ping, Political Commissar of the PLA General
Logistics Department, and Zhang Zhen, Deputy Chief of General Staff of the PLA General

tion documents, the party committee of the PLA Air Force Logistics Department has, in
light of reality, also conducted discussions and rectified errors at the same time and
has taken the initiative to listen to the criticisms and suggestions of the masses,
thereby swiftly solving the more than 200 problems brought up by the units. The Air
Force leading organ launched party rectification at the time when the Sixth Party
16 Jan 84 K 15 CHINA
PRC NATIONAL AFFAIRS
Congress of the PLA Air Force was being held in Beijing. Leading comrades of the Air
Force Logistics Department decided to take the opportunity to solicit opinions and sug-
gestions trom various units in order to promote party rectification in the office.
Divided into two groups, these leading comrades and nine cadres of department and sec-
tion levels talked to people during the intervals of the party congress. They listened
to the criticisms and suggestions of a total of 75 delegates from various units, who
otterred 390 suggestions concerning how the Logistics Department should improve the
ottice work style, intensify logistics building, and do a good job in supply, covering
more than 10 fields of the work.
Atter discussing with the delegates methods to solve the problems, the leaders of the
Air Force Logistics Department returned to the office with these problems in mind and,
while organizing personnel of departments concerned to study the documents on party
rectification, urged them to identify their organ's shortcomings in thinking and work
style as reflected in those problems in order to understand the necessity of doing a
still better job in rectifying the party organizations. Many comrades noted that some
long-standing problems in logistics work reflected bureaucracy in the logistic organs
and that the lack of a sense of urgency in solving some problems explained why the logis-
tic organs were listless in serving the Air Force. They pledged to consciously take part
in party rectification, bring about a fundamental change in office style, and do a
better job in serving the Air Force units and their flight operation and preparedness
against war.
Now, 230 of the problems brought up by the delegates to the party congress have been
solved. Among these problems, 90 concerned the living and working conditions of the
tlight crews and ground personnel and over 100 concerned the logistics supply to some
ground units and some companies in isolated frontier areas. Since then, all departments
under the Air Force Logistics Department have improved some rules and regulations and
implemented the system of personal responsibility, thereby speedily handling the requests
and reports from the grassroots level without delay even with extra personnel working
overtime. Some departments sent personnel to units that frequently raised complaints
to understand the situation and solve the problems on the spot. The commanders and
fighters have praised the Air Force Logistics Department for indeed changing the style
in the current party rectification.

VENG YINGCHAO URGES KUOMINTANG TO WORK FOR UNITY
OWl6b0/343 Beliinw XINHUA in English O712 GMT 16 Jan 84
clext| Beljing, January 1L6 (XINHUA) -- Deng Yingchao, chairman of the National
Comittee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, once again called
nm Kuomintang leaders in Taiwan to work to end the separation of the Chinese people
iused by the split between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. She said this at a
meeting today marking the 60th anniversary of the First National Congress of the
Kuomintang.
Jeng Yingehao recalled on many occasions Dr Sun Yat-sen, founder of the Kuomintang,
itressed that China is an entity and cannot be separated and that the unificationof the
country is the main trend of historical development and the aspiration of the people.
‘he two rounds of Kuomintang-Communist cooperation in which they launched the Northern
Expedition (1926-1927), tought the Anti-Japanese War (1937-1945) and recovered Taiwan
(1945), and promoted the nation's progress, she said. [sentence as received]
in the past few years, she continued, China's party and state leaders have publicly
innounced the principles and policies concerning the peaceful reunification of the
country. She especially mentioned remarks made by Deng Xiaoping last June while meeting
Ur Winston L.Y. Yang, professor at Seton Hall University, New Jersey, U.S.A. Deng
Xiaoping said: "Peacetul reunification has come to be common language for both the
Kuomintang and the Communist Party. It does not mean the mainland swallowing up Taiwan,
or vice versa. It is our sincere hope that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will
work together for national reunification and contribute to the Chinese nation."
Neng Yingchao, now 80, recalled the things she personally witnessed before and after the
rirst Kuomintang National Congress and how she worked on a provincial Kuomintang
committee for a time. She said that she had attended the Second National Congress of
the Kuomintang in 1926. “The past events about how the Kuomintang and the Communist
Party cooperated to win the Anti-Japanese War are still vivid in my memory," she added.
She said that the Chinese nation should work with a will, stand on its own feet among
other nations and try to make greater contributions to mankind. "Why shouldn't we put
the nation's interests above everything else as we did twice before and work together to
build our country by putting an end to the separation of our people caused by the split
between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party?" she queried. China's history has
proved, she said, that unification is the main historical trend and separation is but a
briet interlude. "The situation of isolation from the mainland and control by others
cannot last for lone," she said. "The rights and wrongs, advantages and disadvantages
ire very clear. It is not difficult for one to make a decision."
fhe Chinese Communists are always true to their word and resolute in deed, Deng Yingchao
said. “It's understandable that friends in Taiwan's Kuomintang may have this or that
worry because of the long vears of separation. But I hope such hesitations and delays
will not continue lone," she added. A reasonable solution can be found if the two
parties treat each other sincerely and exchange views on the common ground of the
country's reunification, she said.
