On the Revised Draft of the Central Decision on Rotational Training of Cadres: Comment (September 1961) This inserted phrase may be omitted [1]. Mao Printed from the manuscript Notes [1] The “Decision of the CPC Central Committee on Rotational Training of Cadres (Revised Draft),” issued on September 13, 1961, for discussion at an expanded meeting of the CPC Central Secretariat, stated: “The purpose of rotational training is to help cadres, under the guidance of Mao Zedong Thought, further understand and master the objective laws governing socialist construction, and to overcome certain one-sided views as well as rightist or ‘leftist’ errors in practical work.” The phrase “under the guidance of Mao Zedong Thought” was newly added in this revised draft. When reviewing the final version of the decision after it had been discussed and amended at the expanded meeting of the Central Secretariat, Mao deleted these nine characters and wrote the above comment.
