The achievements of the Political Consultative Conference are extremely significant. The Programme for Peaceful National Reconstruction is the common administrative programme of the reorganized National Government and the general direction for democratic reform that the whole nation should follow during the transitional period. The principles for revising the draft constitution have established the fundamental principles for the democratization of China’s future political system. The resolution on military reorganization has set forth the basic principles for the nationalization of all armed forces in the country, while the resolutions on reorganizing the government and increasing the composition of the National Assembly are the conditions ensuring the implementation of the common programme and the successful completion of the National Assembly’s constitution-making. With the adoption and implementation of these resolutions, China will soon begin, on a nationwide scale, to break away from the Kuomintang’s one-party dictatorship and take the first step toward the democratization of the state system. Although all resolutions still await implementation—and even after implementation, achieving thorough democratization will require a long and tortuous process of struggle to overcome various difficulties and obstacles—China has undoubtedly entered a new stage of peaceful and democratic construction. This is a great historic victory for China’s democratic revolution. This victory is the result of the Chinese people’s unyielding struggle over the past hundred years, the result of the joint efforts of all participating parties and public figures, and especially the result of the various democratic parties arguing strongly on just grounds while also making significant concessions. Authoritative figures point out that good resolutions are merely the beginning of the matter; everything depends on how faithfully and earnestly the resolutions are implemented. The Communist Party of China has always been consistently faithful to its promises and will, with the utmost sincerity, implement all the resolutions of the Political Consultative Conference in all the Liberated Areas and among the troops of the Liberated Areas. All members of the Communist Party of China will devote themselves to peaceful and lawful struggle throughout the country, striving for the thorough democratization of the nation and for the establishment of a new China that is independent, free, prosperous, and strong. The Communist Party of China welcomes President Chiang’s promise to realize the resolutions of the Political Consultative Conference and the Programme for Peaceful National Reconstruction, and hopes that the Kuomintang of China will, in this spirit, engage in long-term cooperation with the people of the whole nation and all parties and groups, so that all the resolutions of the Political Consultative Conference may be fully realized.
