China Is Red With Peasants Blood

For long years we have been told by American journalists that Mao Tse-tung is a "peasant" leader and that the Chinese Communists are only "agrarian reformers". Our own journalists and "cultural missionaries" have 1ate1y joined this chorus. Here is a documented account of Mao's fundamental loyalties to Stalinism-Leninism and to the Soviet pattern of industrialisation and collectivisation. It is an account of how the Chinese Communists treated the peasantry as a homogeneous and "revolutionary" class before coming to power and how they now describe it as a "reactionary" class which has to be divided and destroyed piecemeal. It is also a human story in which millions of Chinese peasants are starved, beaten, tortured, and killed so that they may part with foodgrains which the Communist bosses want to export for scoring propaganda points and obtaining strategic raw materials.
