[1] This comment was written on a draft decision submitted for examination on January 21,
1967, by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the State Council, the
Central Military Commission, and the Central Cultural Revolution Group regarding the
People's Liberation Army's resolute support for the revolutionary left. Based on Mao
Zedong's directive that the People's Liberation Army should support the broad masses of the
left, the draft decision made five directives: (1) All previous directives regarding the army's
non-intervention in local Cultural Revolutions and other directives that violated this directive
were invalidated. (2) Actively support the broad masses of the left in their struggle to seize
power. Whenever genuine leftists requested the army's assistance, the army should send
troops to actively support them. (3) Resolutely suppress counter-revolutionaries and
counter-revolutionary organizations that oppose the revolutionary left; if they resort to
force, the army should resolutely retaliate. (4) Reiterate the directive that the army must not
serve as a bomb shelter for a small group of capitalist-roaders in power within the Party and
diehards adhering to the bourgeois reactionary line. (5) Carry out in-depth education
throughout the army on the struggle between the proletarian revolutionary line and the
bourgeois reactionary line. On January 23, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of
China, the State Council, the Central Military Commission, and the Central Cultural
Revolution Group issued this decision.
