A paragraph added to the draft of the Central Committee’s instructions on current affairs propaganda (October 1950): If the United States should dare to ignite a world war at this juncture, its defeat would be all the more complete, for America’s military preparations are still far from complete, while the forces of the peace camp now outweigh those of the U.S.-British bloc. We seek peace, not war; yet we cannot stand by and do nothing as the United States encroaches upon the Sino–Korean border. Printed from the manuscript.
