Telegram to Chen Yi, Liu Shaoqi, and Others[1]

(October 15, 1940)

Agree with the policy proposed in Zhou Enlai’s telegram to Mao Zedong on the same day that development in northern Jiangsu should adopt a self-defense war approach. It is not about completely driving out Han [Deqin], but only compelling him to abandon his anti-communist policy.

[1] This is the main content of Mao Zedong’s telegram to Chen Yi and Liu Shaoqi, to be forwarded to Huang Kecheng and Luo Binghui, with copies to Ye Ting and Xiang Ying.
