Cover credit: © Harvey Loake Printed on acid-free paper This Palgrave Macmillan imprint is published by Springer Nature The registered company is Springer International Publishing AG The registered company address is: Gewerbestrasse 11, 6330 Cham, Switzerland PREFACE This book is written in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of revolutionary committees and the revolutionary committee movement in the Cultural Revolution era of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Revolutionary committees were established at all levels of local govern- ment, and in factories and mines, colleges and universities, troupes and hospitals, and trades and stores. This book considers local government revolutionary committees only; as organizations other than local govern- ment were not the organ of state power at local level. Specifcally, the book focuses on revolutionary committees at province level, including municipalities and autonomous regions. The book is a purely analytical text, involving no value judgement of social institutions and political sys- tems. It presents the mode of governance of revolutionary committees, and makes historical and comparative assessments of modes of govern- ance on success and failure. It explores a mode of governance in future perspectives. Revolutionary committees were unifed governing bodies in local governance during the Cultural Revolution period in the PRC. Revolutionary committees possessed supremacy in their early days and heydays. They exerted unifed leadership with streamlined govern- ance and administration, encompassing the Party and government and spanning the legislature, executive and judiciary. Nonetheless, the early fallouts of the pioneering revolutionary committees and their leaders signalled the worrying ciphers. The heydays of revolutionary commit- tees turned out to be short-lived. The last episode was soon to close in v vi PREFACE regression, leaving many assorted anecdotes that have lingered 50 years on. Emotions fading, it is the time to look beyond the fantasies, feuds, passions, anarchies and rivalries positively; nothing in history has hap- pened in vain. The book is written in the framework of historical materialist histo- riography. Its worldview about human society and history as articulated by historical materialism is that ‘human beings enter into defnite rela- tions of production independent of their will, which are appropriate to a given stage in the development of their material forces of production. The totality of these relations of production constitutes the economic structure or infrastructure of society, on which arises a legal and politi- cal superstructure’ (Marx 1859). Accordingly, actions and trials taken by the revolutionary masses and revolutionary committees in the Cultural Revolution era are assessed in the book in the vicinity of material, social and intellectual life and economic, political and legal structures. Some became realities and some others were fantasies. They were the entities of the unity while being full of the conficts of opposites, experiencing the negation of the negation constantly. The book unfolds along these lines throughout a historic epoch half a century ago and beyond.

It informs the background for the emergence of revolutionary committees. Crucially, the chapter pro- vides a chronicle of the historical events unfolding through the frst revolu- tionary committees launched in the early 1967 to their fast withering into irrelevance. Three-pronged resolution in the composition of revolutionary committees is deliberated together with the epidemic of factionalism that persisted concurrently. Phenomena of pending regression to the past are shown, substantiated by some vividly portrayed grassroots anecdotes.

WANG focuses on revolutionary committees at province level, including munici- palities and autonomous regions. There was no revolutionary committee in central government where major nominal institutions were kept intact, including the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress and the State Council (cabinet) that were never replaced by a revolution- ary committee. The central institutions of the Communist Party of China (CPC) were retained. The Central Committee of CPC (CCCPC), its Politburo and the Standing Committee of the Politburo did also endure, though the dominant fgures of the committees changed frequently and signifcantly, except Chairman Mao Zedong of CCCPC and Premier Zhou Enlai of the State Council. In addition, there was a Central Cultural Revolution Group, as important as the Politburo at the time. But even the key members of this all-powerful Group kept rotating, including the chief of the Group, Chen Boda who was disgraced prior to the downfall of Lin Biao, the only Vice-Chairman of CCCPC at the time and a Vice Premier and Defense Minister. This was a period full of turmoil. The post of State Presidency was not flled or effectively flled during most of the Cultural Revolution period. However, a vacant State Presidency did not matter itself, as the power of the President at the time stemmed virtually from his position as (frst) Vice-Chairman of CCCPC. This was contrary to local government where communist party committees were non-existent. Although the idea of revolutionary committees was derived from the Paris Commune, they were one step closer

Original Language: Chinese Contents: English Translation What I am going to say is what I have said before, which you all know, and I am not going to say anything new. Simply I am going to talk about unity. The purpose of unity is to pursue even greater victory. Now the Soviet revisionists attack us. Some broadcast reports by Tass, the materials prepared by Wang Ming,[i] and the lengthy essay in Kommunist all attack us, claiming that our Party is no longer one of the proletariat and calling it a “petit-bourgeois party.” They claim that what we are doing is the imposition of a monolithic order and that we have returned to the old years of the base areas. What they mean is that we have retrogressed. What is a monolithic order? According to them, it is a military-bureaucratic system. Using a Japanese term, this is a “system.” In the words used by the Soviets, this is called “military-bureaucratic dictatorship.” They look at our list of names, and find many military men, and they call it “military.”[ii] As for “bureaucratic,” probably they mean a batch of “bureaucrats,” including myself, [Zhou] Enlai, Kang Sheng, and Chen Boda.[iii] All in all, those of you who do not belong to the military belong to this “bureaucratic” system.

    ACROSS THE NET Melton Table Tennis May 2020 Edition 56 NOT MUCH TO SAY, REALLY I spoke to a doctor last night, and she said that she was hopeful of the virus being eradicated very soon. Mind you, she’s a doctor of music, but it was nice to get some good news. In this edition, we look back over 6 years of previous editions and hope that there is a reason to write future editions. COVID-19 UPDATE Well, we are still in the grips of a lockdown. It’s tough on many of us, driving us crazy and leaving us with a feeling of hopelessness. It’s like umpiring a best-of-5 match between two defenders. You know it’s going to end sometime; you just don’t know if you can hang on until then. But hang tough, my friends. We will get through this. As you know, both of our venues are currently closed. We have had no word on when these are likely to re- open, so it’s just a waiting game. When we hear that the restrictions are going to be eased, your committee will need to meet to discuss how and when we can get back to playing. We’ll obviously keep you informed. The best you can do in the meantime is follow the medical advice given, look after each other, and stay safe. Until then, I thought I’d put together some of my favourite articles from the past 6 years of Across The Net, just to give you something to read while you wait for better times ahead.

  • A Forgotten Calamity.Henan During the Great Famine (1958–1961) Ewa Rzanna
    A Forgotten Calamity.Henan during the Great Famine (1958–1961) Ewa Rzanna IWM Junior Visiting Fellows’ Conference Proceedings, Vol. XXVIII © 2010 by the author Readers may redistribute this article to other individuals for noncommercial use, provided that the text and this note remain intact. This article may not be reprinted or redistributed for commercial use without prior written permission from the author. If you have any questions about permissions, please contact the IWM. Throughout the three and a half thousand years of its recorded history, the province of Henan has had more than its fair share of natural disasters. The proximity of the notoriously unpredictable Yellow River and the dependence on weather sensitive crops to feed its vast farming population caused famine and plague occur with an almost “natural” regularity. Droughts and floods came and went leaving behind decimated and impoverished peasant communities that over time always managed to rebuild their villages, bring the land back under cultivation and so temporarily restore their fragile fortunes. Slack government or corruption would sometimes aggravate the consequences of natural catastrophes; rarely, however, could man’s actions alone be blamed for their incidence. Against this background, what set apart the calamities that befell Henan in the second half of the 20 th century was not only their unprecedentedly high death toll, but also the fact that human nature alone took the blame for bringing them about. So, at least, is the conclusion that can be drawn from the story told by Yang Jisheng, a retired Xinhua News Agency reporter whose most recent book The Tombstone.

We particularly appeal to the international communities and request investigation of this systematic, ongoing, egregious violation of human rights committed by the Government of the People’s Republic of China against Falun Gong. Falun Gong, also called Falun Dafa, is a traditional Chinese spiritual practice that includes exercise and meditation. Its principles are based on the values of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance. The practice began in China in 1992 and quickly spread throughout China and then beyond. By the end of 1998, by the Chinese government's own estimate, there were 70 - 100 million people in China who had taken up the practice, outnumbering Communist Party member. Despite the fact that it was good for the people and for the stability of the country, former President JIANG Zemin launched in July 1999 an unprecedented persecution of Faun Gong out of fears of losing control. Today the persecution of Falun Gong still continues in China. As of the end of March 2004, 918 Falun Gong practitioners have been confirmed to die from persecution.

  • The CCP Central Committee's Leading Small Groups Alice Miller
    Miller, China Leadership Monitor, No. 26 The CCP Central Committee’s Leading Small Groups Alice Miller For several decades, the Chinese leadership has used informal bodies called “leading small groups” to advise the Party Politburo on policy and to coordinate implementation of policy decisions made by the Politburo and supervised by the Secretariat. Because these groups deal with sensitive leadership processes, PRC media refer to them very rarely, and almost never publicize lists of their members on a current basis. Even the limited accessible view of these groups and their evolution, however, offers insight into the structure of power and working relationships of the top Party leadership under Hu Jintao. A listing of the Central Committee “leading groups” (lingdao xiaozu 领导小组), or just “small groups” (xiaozu 小组), that are directly subordinate to the Party Secretariat and report to the Politburo and its Standing Committee and their members is appended to this article. First created in 1958, these groups are never incorporated into publicly available charts or explanations of Party institutions on a current basis. PRC media occasionally refer to them in the course of reporting on leadership policy processes, and they sometimes mention a leader’s membership in one of them. The only instance in the entire post-Mao era in which PRC media listed the current members of any of these groups was on 2003, when the PRC-controlled Hong Kong newspaper Wen Wei Po publicized a membership list of the Central Committee Taiwan Work Leading Small Group. (Wen Wei Po, 26 December 2003) This has meant that even basic insight into these groups’ current roles and their membership requires painstaking compilation of the occasional references to them in PRC media.
