* This is a political declaration drafted by Mao Zedong for the headquarters of the China People's Liberation Army. In this manifesto, the domestic political situation at that time was analyzed, the slogan of "Down with Chiang Kai-shek and Liberation of China" was put forward, and the eight basic policies of the China People's Liberation Army, the Chinese Production Party, were announced. This declaration was published on 19471October 10, and is called "Double Ten Declarations". The declaration was drafted in Shenquanbao, Jiaxian County, northern Shaanxi Province. After smashing Chiang Kai-shek's attack, the China People's Liberation Army has now launched a large-scale counterattack. On the southern line, our army has attacked the Yangtze River valley, and on the northern line, our army has attacked Zhongchang and Beining. Wherever our army went, the enemy was invincible and the people cheered and thundered. Compared with a year ago, the whole situation between the enemy and ourselves has undergone basic changes. The purpose of our army's fighting has been repeatedly declared at home and abroad, and it is for the liberation of the people of China and the Chinese nation. Today is to realize the urgent demands of the people of the whole country, overthrow Chiang Kai-shek, the chief culprit of the civil war, and form a democratic Coalition government, so as to achieve the overall goal of liberating the people and the nation. The people of China fought bravely against Japanese imperialism for eight years for their own liberation and national independence. After Japan surrendered, the people longed for peace, but Chiang Kai-shek undermined all the people's peace efforts and put an unprecedented civil war disaster on them. In this way, it is impossible to force people from all walks of life in the country to unite to overthrow Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek's current civil war policy is not accidental, but the inevitable result of Chiang Kai-shek and his reactionary clique's consistent anti-people policy. As early as the 16th year of the Republic of China (1927), Chiang Kai-shek was ungrateful, betrayed the revolutionary alliance between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, betrayed Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary Three People's Principles and three major policies, and then established a dictatorship, surrendered to imperialism, and fought a civil war for ten years, leading to Japanese aggression. In the 25th year of the Republic of China (1936), during the Xi Incident, China's * * * production party returned good for evil, cooperated with two generals, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, and released Chiang Kai-shek, hoping that Chiang Kai-shek would repent and turn over a new leaf and * * * resist Japan. But once again, Chiang Kai-shek was ungrateful, passive to the Japanese aggressors, active to the people and extremely hostile to the * * * production party. The year before last (1945), the Japanese surrendered, and the people of China forgave Chiang Kai-shek again, demanding that Chiang Kai-shek stop the civil war that had already started, implement democratic politics, and unite all parties to build the country peacefully. However, Chiang Kai-shek, who had no faith, immediately overturned all armistice agreements, CPPCC resolutions and four commitments. On the people's side, despite repeated forbearance and perfection, Chiang Kai-shek, with the assistance of American imperialism, was determined to launch an unprecedented all-round attack on the people regardless of the life and death of the country and the nation. Since the armistice agreement was announced in January last year (1946), Chiang Kai-shek has mobilized more than 220 regular brigades and nearly one million miscellaneous troops to launch a large-scale attack on the liberated areas seized by the people of China from Japanese imperialism in a bloody battle, and successively occupied Shenyang, Fushun, Benxi, Siping, Changchun, Yongji, Chengde, Jining, Zhangjiakou, Huaiyin, Heze, Linyi, Yan 'an and Yantai. Wherever Chiang Kai-shek went, he killed people, set fire to them, raped and plundered them, and carried out the "three lights" policy, just like the behavior of Japanese robbers. Last November, Chiang Kai-shek convened a pseudo-National Congress (5) and announced a pseudo-constitution. In March this year, Chiang Kai-shek expelled representatives of the * * * production party. In July this year, Chiang Kai-shek issued a general mobilization order against the people. Chiang Kai-shek's policy is to suppress, arrest and slaughter the just people's movement against civil war, hunger and U.S. imperialist aggression, as well as struggle for existence of workers, peasants, students, citizens and public officials. For all the ethnic minorities in China, Chiang Kai-shek's policy is to practice Han chauvinism, destroy repression and do everything possible. In all areas ruled by Chiang Kai-shek, corruption is rampant, spies are rampant, taxes are heavy, prices are soaring, the economy is bankrupt, all walks of life are depressed, and complaints about conscription and grain requisition are endless, so the vast majority of the people in the country are in dire straits. The financial oligarchs, corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry headed by Chiang Kai-shek concentrated huge wealth. All this wealth was obtained by Chiang Kai-shek and others who used their authoritarian power to extort and abuse public interests for personal gain. In order to maintain dictatorship and engage in civil war, Chiang Kai-shek did not hesitate to sell state rights to foreign imperialism, colluded with the US military to stay in Qingdao and other places, recruited consultants from the United States, participated in civil war command and army training, and slaughtered compatriots. During the civil war, planes, tanks, guns and ammunition came from the United States in large quantities. The funds for the civil war were borrowed from the United States in large quantities. Chiang Kai-shek rewarded American imperialism by selling military bases, sea and air navigation rights and signing commercial contracts similar to slavery, which was many times more serious than Yuan Shikai's traitorous behavior. In a word, Chiang Kai-shek's 20-year rule is a traitorous dictatorship over the people. Today, the overwhelming majority of the people in China, old and young, north and south, have realized Chiang Kai-shek's heinous crimes and hope that our army will counterattack at an early date, overthrow Chiang Kai-shek and liberate all China. Our army is the army of the people of China, and everything is subject to the will of the people of China. Our army's policies represent the urgent demands of the people of China, mainly as follows: 1. Unite the oppressed classes, people's organizations, democratic parties, ethnic minorities, overseas Chinese and other patriots, form a national united front, overthrow Chiang Kai-shek's dictatorship and establish a democratic coalition government. 2. Arrest, try and punish civil war criminals headed by Chiang Kai-shek. 3. Abolish the dictatorship of Chiang Kai-shek, implement the people's democratic system, and guarantee the people's freedom of speech, publication, assembly and association. Fourth, abolish the corrupt system ruled by Chiang Kai-shek, eliminate corrupt officials and establish a clean politics. 5. Confiscate the property of senior war criminals such as Chiang Kai-shek, Song Ziwen, Kong Xiangxi and Chen Lifu brothers, confiscate bureaucratic capital, develop national industry and commerce, improve workers' lives, and help the victims and the poor. 6. Abolish the feudal exploitation system and implement the system of land to the tiller. Seven, recognize that all ethnic minorities in China have the right to equal autonomy. 8. Deny all traitorous diplomacy of Chiang Kai-shek's dictatorship, abolish all traitorous treaties, and deny all foreign debts that Chiang Kai-shek borrowed during the civil war. We demand that the US government withdraw its troops in China that threaten China's independence, and oppose any foreign country to help Chiang Kai-shek fight the civil war and revive Japanese aggression. Conclude an equal and mutually beneficial trade friendship treaty with foreign countries. Unite all nations in the world that treat me equally to fight together. These are the basic policies of our army. Wherever our army went, we immediately implemented these policies. These policies meet the requirements of more than 90% of the people in the country. Our army does not exclude all Chiang Kai-shek personnel, but adopts the policy of differential treatment. This is what first-time offenders must do. Those who are coerced don't ask, and those who make meritorious deeds are rewarded. Our army will pursue Chiang Kai-shek, the chief culprit of the heinous civil war, and all war criminals who resolutely help Chiang Kai-shek to do evil and endanger the people and are recognized by the broad masses of the people, and must be brought to justice. Our army warned all Chiang Kai-shek officers and soldiers, Chiang Kai-shek government officials and Chiang party member that those who have not been contaminated with innocent people's blood should not go along with those criminals. Anyone who has done bad things should stop doing evil, repent and turn over a new leaf, get rid of Chiang Kai-shek and allow him to atone. Our army will not kill or humiliate Chiang Kai-shek officers and men who laid down their weapons. Those who are willing to stay will be taken in and those who are willing to leave will be repatriated. Rewards will be given to Chiang Kai-shek's troops who participated in the uprising and those who worked for the army openly or secretly. In order to overthrow Chiang Kai-shek at an early date and establish a democratic Coalition government, we call on compatriots from all walks of life to actively cooperate with us wherever our army goes, eliminate reactionary forces and establish a democratic order. Before our troops arrived, they automatically took up arms, threshed grain, divided fields and abolished debts, and used the gap of the enemy to develop guerrilla warfare. In order to overthrow Chiang Kai-shek at an early date and establish a democratic Coalition government, we call on the people in the liberated areas to carry out land reform, consolidate the democratic foundation, develop production, enforce the economy, strengthen the people's armed forces, eliminate the remaining enemy strongholds, and support front-line operations. All officers and men of our army! We are now shouldering the most important and glorious task in the revolutionary history of China, and we should try our best to accomplish this task. The day when my great motherland can turn from darkness to light, my dear compatriots can lead an extraordinary life and choose their own government according to their own wishes depends on our efforts. All officers and men of our army must improve their military art, March courageously in the victorious war, and resolutely and thoroughly destroy all enemies. We must raise our consciousness. Everyone should learn to destroy the enemy and arouse the people. We should closely unite with the masses and quickly build the new area into a consolidated area. It is necessary to improve discipline, resolutely carry out orders and policies, and implement the three major disciplines and eight points for attention (8). The army and the people are consistent, the officers and men are consistent, and the whole army is consistent. Violation of discipline is not allowed. All officers and men of our army must always bear in mind that we are the great People's Liberation Army and the team led by the great China Party. As long as we always obey the party's instructions, we will surely win. Down with Chiang Kai-shek! Long live the new China!
