Recently, a small number of people have spread some remarks on the Internet media, vainly trying to deny and tamper with the historical achievements of the first 30 years of the Mao Zedong era. On some online platforms, they used false words, reversed black and white, and spread some untruths to discredit that era, in a vain attempt to achieve the interests of individuals or some small groups. These words and deeds of theirs have been spurned and outrageous.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country's population was as high as more than 450 million. The country is poor and white, with internal and external troubles, and everything needs to start from scratch. Just after the end of the war, the country sent troops to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and at the same time, the state had to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people. The internal suppression of bandits and the threat of two powerful external enemies have repeatedly triggered wars in the border areas. The hostile elements in the country, the land-rich and the anti-bad right-wing forces, wantonly sabotage and create chaos. It is precisely in the face of many difficulties and challenges that under this grim situation, under the correct leadership of Chairman Mao of the CPC Central Committee and through the unremitting efforts of the people of the whole country over the past 30 years, many major achievements have been made in various fields. Remarkable progress has been made in the economic, scientific, technological, cultural, and educational fields. For example, China successfully carried out important reforms such as land reform, agricultural cooperatives, and industrial nationalization, which laid the foundation for later economic development.
At the same time, the Mao Zedong era also made many major achievements in science and technology, such as culture. China has successfully developed nuclear weapons such as atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs, and launched artificial satellites. This will further enhance the security of the country and the enhancement of its international standing. In the field of culture, a number of excellent literary, artistic and philosophical works have emerged.
In the 30 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China has made many major and brilliant achievements in foreign policy.
The People's Republic of China has resumed its lawful seat in the United Nations and has become one of the permanent members of the Security Council. This achievement marks the wide recognition of the new China by the international community and provides a platform for China to play a greater role in international affairs.
China has actively developed friendly relations with all countries in the world and has established diplomatic relations with many countries. These relations have provided important support for China's economic, cultural, educational, and scientific and technological exchanges.
In international relations, China has actively advocated the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, namely, mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence. These principles have become the basic norms governing international relations and have also provided guidance for China to play a constructive role in international affairs.
These achievements show that in the 30 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China has made remarkable progress in its foreign policy, laying the foundation for China to play a greater role in the international arena.
The ridiculous thing is that some people with ill intentions did not understand the national conditions at that time, let alone experienced that era, but they opened their mouths to say things that distorted the facts and smeared the Mao Zedong era, and this is absolutely intolerable. We resolutely defend Mao Zedong Thought, hold high its great banner, and eliminate all harmful insects.
The evaluation of history should be based on objective facts and comprehensive understanding, and one-sided and distorted views should be avoided. Mao Zedong Thought is one of the important guiding ideologies of the Communist Party of China and has had a profound impact on China's revolution and construction.
We should respect historical facts, inherit and carry forward the excellent historical traditions, and at the same time, we should constantly sum up historical experience and provide reference for future development.
