RISING REVOLT IN
China LEADS TO
SOVIET P0WE R
Statement of Commu-
mist Party of China


Gently, there is no province in the
Yangtze and Pearl River valleys
without Soviet districts or guerilla
warfares. AS for the development
Of the Red Army, the Fourth Army,
under the leadership of Comrades
Chu Teh and Mao TIE -Tung, to-
gether with the Eighth Army, which
was formed by organizing rebellious
Kuomintang troops in Ia Yea and
part of eastern Hupei province,
make a concentrated armed force of
not less than $4,000 men. This
number, of course, does not include
the guerilla troops and Red Guards
| in KWangtung, Kwangsi, Fukien,
Kiangsi, Human, Hupei and Honan,
etc.. and concentrated armed pea
SAINTS in Chinkiang, Anhuei and
other provinces. In the north, al
though such movements as the spon-
taneous peasant armed struggles,
the Mohammedan uprisings, the Ma
tional Revolutionary Movement in
Mongolia and the Korean Peasant
Movement in eastern Manchuria
have not yet all come under our
leadership, the influence Of the
agrarian revolution in South China
has already penetrated far to the
north and is bringing the broad pea
SAINT masses in the north into the
fight. The anti-landlord struggles in
the villages and the struggle against
militarist ievies and taxes are de-
veloping in the north. In the south
the existence of Soviet areas and
the development of the Red Army
and the guerilla warfare orientated
thousands and millions Of the pea
SAINT masses who were being swept
into the tide of the revolution. This
was the outstanding characteristic
of the Soviet Power in Haliufeng
and Liling in the past. Now, in
the big Soviet areas in western Flu
kien, western Kiangsi, in the Chao-
chow area, IN Pingchiang and Liu-
pang, in northeastern Kiangsi and
both western and eastern Hupei, the
Soviets rally around themselves
millions and tens of millions of the
peasant masses, confiscating land
belonging to the landlords, over
throwing the authority of the gen
try and local rascals and strength
ening the armed struggle for Soviet
power. The existence and develop
ment of these revolutionary events
are so evident that even the reac-
tionary newspapers, organs of the
ruling classes, do not dare to ig-
more. Only liquidationists who sit
with their eyes closed in their study
rooms blindly say that the Chinese
revolution remains dead since its
last defeat up to the present time,
refuse to recognize the role of the
peasant wars in the Chinese revolu-
ton, and sing songs of hope for
the Chinese ruling classes, claiming
that they can bring about capitalist
stabilization in China. The revolu-
tionary masses all recognize the
correctness Of the decisions of the
Sixth World Congress of the Com
munist International and the Sixth
Convention Of the Chinese Commu-
mist Party, which points out that
the Chinese revolution only suffered
a temporary defeat and that the sit
uation in the whole country is mov-
ing toward a rising revolutionary
wave.
The Soviet Area and the Revolu-
tiOnary Wave.
2. Of course, the most important
symptom that points to the coming
of the revolutionary wave in China
is the revival of workers struggles
in the cities. However, the pea
SAINTS fight for land and the devel-
opment of the Red Army, which
have record Of continued struggle
for two years, certainly indirectly
prove that the Kuomintang regime
of the gentry, landlords and bour-
geoisie has not only no possibility
of stabilization, but, on account of
