Comments on Bo Yibo’s Report on Creating
Three Categories of Regions to Carry out
Land Reform
(February 19, 1948)
We received your report of February 10. You are correct to adopt different policies, as you described, in regions with different situations, but whether subordinates will carry it out this way is quite another story. You must always maintain
contact with subordinates and correct their distortions whenever possible. Do not
wait for several months until you hold a summary meeting to make one general
correction; the damage will be too great. Correcting distortions whenever possible
will minimize losses. We hope you will take the above into consideration according to your situation.
