China and the International Division of Labour

In his,1977 letter of resignation to the Franco-Chinese Friendship Association, Charles Bettleheirn expressed his apprehensions for the future of socialism in China since the arrest of the four leaders who played a central role in the course of the Cultural Revolution and who, with the exception of Jiang Qing, enjoyed the confidence of Mao Tsetung .... My doubts [Bettelheim's] with regard to the political consequences of these events are all the more serious since two of the arrested leaders, Yao Wenyuan and Chang Chunqiao, have made an important - even though incomplete - contribution to the analysis of the class basis of capitalist restoration in China.

The Performing Arts in Contemporary China.

First published in 1981. The overthrow of the 'gang of four' in October 1976 had profound effects in all areas of Chinese society, and probably nowhere can this be more clearly seen than in the performing arts. Jiang Qing, Mao Zedong's widow, was strongly interested in the performing arts and exercised great influence over them. This book describes her influence and the effects its removal had on the arts. Although the period covered is mainly that since the death of Mao, there is also considerable reference to the years following the Cultural Revolution.

A REAPPRAISAL OF COMRADE WU HAN'S BIOGRAPHY OF ZHU YUANZHANG

AbstractThe BIOGRAPHY OF ZHU YUANZHANG is an important work of Comrade Wu Han. Being concerned about the writing of this book, Comrade Mao Zedong not only took time from his busy schedule to read the manuscript but also spent an evening discussing it with Comrade Wu Han. He offered many solid comments and valuable suggestions with regard to such problems as the final days of Peng Yingyu, the organizer of the western division of the Red Turban Army and the like. When published in 1965, the revised edition of this work immediately received the welcome and serious attention of historical circles, but the traitor Jiang Qing was extremely hostile toward it. When the revised work was presented to Chairman Mao for his review, the traitor Jiang Qing made a daring attempt to withhold it from the Chairman, slanderously accusing Comrade Wu Han of “being covetous of fame and author's fees.” She openly declared that after its publication she would make public her criticism of the BIOGRAPHY, a work that Chairman Mao ha...

Perspectives on China

Events since the death of Mao Zedong in 1976 have raised doubts in many people's minds about what kind of democratic processes operate in China and within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). These questions have been highlighted by the manner of the purging of the “Gang of Four” and the reappearance of Deng Xiaoping after his purging on the personal orders of Chairman Mao. The charges against the “Gang of Four” are incoherent, and have been framed as much in terms of personal abuse (and in the case of Jiang Qing, sexist abuse) as in terms of principled political disagreements. And the reversal of many of the policies of the Cultural Revolution—a reversal consolidated at the recent National People's Congress—leaves a question mark hanging over the future of the Chinese revolution.
