is latent among the vast majority of exploited peasants. In this regard, the Propaganda Department should regularly instruct all Party members and direct them to focus on this central task.


(9) The Party’s propaganda work should be widely disseminated throughout the country. All major and minor events in rural areas, provinces and counties, as well as in commercial ports and important towns, must remain within the Party’s purview. The Central Propaganda Department and the provincial Propaganda Departments are the principal architects responsible for handling such matters. Therefore, whenever an incident occurs, the Propaganda Department should first provide the Party and the national populace with accurate reports, explaining the origins of the event and its implications for the National Revolution, while also indicating how to capitalize on it to advance the Party’s policies.


(10) In the military, the Quartermaster Corps supplies the entire army with uniforms and weaponry. Similarly, within our Party, the Propaganda Department plays a role analogous to that of the Quartermaster Corps in the armed forces. It equips Party members and the general public with political knowledge and practical strategies, enabling them to persevere through the arduous trials of the National Revolution, to uphold the Party’s stance amidst conflicting views and sentiments, and to strive forward. The Propaganda Department should guide all Party members in overcoming the malignant forces of imperialism and the counter-revolutionary factions. Moreover, it should transform impetuous, resentful, and self-doubting Party members into a sound revolutionary force.


(11) The Propaganda Department ought to be the Party’s most active and agile organ. Accordingly, all Party members who are capable of writing books and pamphlets, editing articles, drafting manifestos and slogans, should participate in its work. Those writers or journalists who cannot personally engage in the Propaganda Department’s activities should nonetheless devote a portion of their time and energy to propagandistic endeavors. Thus, the Propaganda Department serves as the central agency that gathers, channels, and directs the Party’s intellectual and organizational resources toward the realization of its policies.


(12) Close communication between the Propaganda Department and Party members as well as the general public is of paramount importance. If the announcements and directives issued by the Propaganda Department cannot be effectively utilized by Party members, or even if they can be applied but fail to meet the needs of the people, then the purpose of propaganda will be entirely defeated, rendering the Propaganda Department utterly useless. To swiftly distribute propaganda materials, it is essential to have efficient transportation and a well-organized structure within the Propaganda Department. The Central Propaganda Department should maintain close and regular contact with the provincial Propaganda Departments, all Party organs, and other public organizations through letters, telegrams, and dedicated couriers, according to established procedures.
