Telegraph from the Central Committee Regarding the Postponement of the Fourth Plenary Session of the Seventh CPC Central Committee and the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (July 12, 1951) To the Central Bureau of Central China, with copy to all other Central Bureaus: The telegram forwarded on July 7 from the Henan Provincial Party Committee has been received.
As the question of war and peace in Korea remains uncertain at present, both the Fourth Plenary Session of the Seventh CPC Central Committee and the National Committee of the CPPCC will be postponed until after August—likely in September or October.
You and the provincial and municipal committees may continue to arrange your work as usual during July and August.
Printed on July 12 by the Central Committee, based on Mao Zedong’s handwritten draft.
