The CPC as the Leadership Core of All the People of China

On May 25, 1957, Mao Zedong put forward a quite important point in his speech when the leaders of the Central Committee of the CPC met the entire body of delegates to the Third National Congress of the New Democratic Youth League of China. Mao Zedong has always emphasized the core of leadership position of the CPC for the Chinese people and stressed: Without this core, the cause of socialism cannot be victorious. As early as in the period of democratic revolution, Mao Zedong repeatedly stated that the revolutionary party was the guide for the masses. If the Chinese people strive for revolution and build a new China with socialism as its future path, they must establish and build a revolutionary Marxist proletarian party. Mao Zedong repeatedly stressed the role and mission of the Communist Party of China for the political leadership of the Chinese revolution and pointed out that the task of China's anti-imperialist and anti-feudal democratic revolution, as determined by history, can only be accomplished under the leadership of the Chinese proletariat and its party, the Communist Party of China. In December 1939, Mao Zedong clearly pointed out in his article "The Chinese Revolution and the Communist Party of China": Except for the Communist Party, no political party (bourgeois or petty-bourgeois) is equal to the task of leading China's two great revolutions, the democratic and the socialist revolutions, to complete fulfillment. From the very day of its birth, the Communist Party has taken this twofold task on its own shoulders and for eighteen years has fought strenuously for its accomplishment”. In April 1945, in the political report of the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Mao Zedong further pointed out: "The experience of the three revolutions, especially the experience of the Anti-Japanese War, has given us and the Chinese people such confidence: without the efforts of the Communist Party of China, and without the efforts of the Chinese Communists as the mainstay of the Chinese people, China can never achieve independence and liberation, or industrialization and the modernization of her agriculture.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong always emphasized the leadership of the Communist Party of China for the people's democratic dictatorship and the core of leadership position of the party in the socialist construction. In the opening speech of the First Session of the First National People's Congress held in September 1954, Mao Zedong put forward: “our general task is to strive for building a great socialist country, and the force at the core leading our cause is the Communist Party of China. The theoretical basis guiding our thoughts is Marxism-Leninism.” He believed that under the leadership of the CPC and under the guidance of Marxism, "we have full confidence to overcome all difficulties and hardships and make our country into a great socialist republic."

On May 25, 1957, Mao Zedong stressed in his speech when the leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China met the entire body of delegates to the Third National Congress of the New Democratic Youth League of China : “The Communist Party of China is the leadership core of all the people of China. Without this core, the cause of socialism cannot be victorious”. He added: Unite, comrades, and fight resolutely and courageously for the great cause of socialism. Mao Zedong's thought that the CPC is the leading core of the leadership of all the people of China and the force at the core leading the cause of socialism in China, has clarifies the CPC's core leadership position among the people of all nationalities in China, and has consolidated and strengthened the Party's leadership for the cause of socialism. Such leadership status is of great significance for uniting the people from all nationalities, for uniting China's strength and for striving for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation; its truth was and will be further proved by practice.
