Central Committee Endorsement on the Beijing Municipal Party Committee’s Preliminary Summary of Experience from District People’s Representative Meetings (August 9, 1950) To all Central Bureaus and Branch Bureaus, with copy to the municipal party committees of major cities and the provincial and district party committees: We are now forwarding to you for your reference the Beijing Municipal Party Committee’s report on the experience gained from holding people’s representative meetings in various districts within Beijing. We believe that it is both necessary and beneficial for the districts of large cities to convene such people’s representative meetings. We therefore request that the municipal party committees of major cities consider implementing this practice. August 9, printed from Mao Zedong’s manuscript.
