[1] Parts I and II of this article were written on the draft communiqué of the 12th Plenary
Session of the 8th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, which was submitted
for review on 28 October 1968. Part III was written on the draft communiqué submitted for
review on 30 October. This communiqué was adopted by the plenary session on 31 October
and published in the People's Daily on 2 November.
[2] On 28 October 1968, the draft communiqué submitted for review stated: "The plenary
session believes that the great victory of the great proletarian cultural revolution further
proves that Mao Zedong Thought is a new stage in the development of Marxism-Leninism
and further proves the profound significance of Comrade Mao Zedong's theory of continuing
the revolution under the dictatorship of the proletariat." When Mao Zedong reviewed the
draft, he deleted the sentence ‘further proves that Mao Zedong Thought is a new stage in
the development of Marxism-Leninism’ and wrote this annotation. Additionally, the section
of the communiqué draft also stated that Mao Zedong Thought ‘is the sole guiding ideology
for all work of our Party, military, and nation.’ When Mao Zedong reviewed it, he deleted the
word ‘sole.’ The final version of the communiqué was approved by the Central Committee
on 28 October 1968.
[3] Mao Zedong's revisions to the draft submitted for review on 30 October 1968 mainly
involved deleting the following sentence: ‘The widespread dissemination of Mao Zedong
Thought among the people of the whole country is a very great achievement of the great
proletarian cultural revolution.’
