Some Aspects of Political Mobilization in China
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 November 2008
Extract
If one wishes to understand something about the political mobilization of Chinese communist society, then it is necessary to concentrate primarily on the aims behind that political mobilization. The ways in which the Chinese try to direct matters so that those aims may be attained, determine the content and character of the mobilization. An analysis which is mainly concerned with such dimensions of the phenomenon ‘political mobilization’ as intensity, globality, tempo, structuring, organization, etc., is not suited to the Chinese situation, simply because these dimensions are to a large extent determined by, and can be explained by, the meaning and content of the underlying values and aims.

In connexion with the relation between the success of Communist influence and relative rent levels, the following quotation must be given (p. 61): ‘That is that within province variations in tenancy may in some cases yield a positive correlation with Communist influence’. He also claims to show that unrest induced by high rent is no more important in explaining the influence of the Communist movement than the pressure which exists through unequal division of land (p. 60).Google Scholar

The conflict between those who want to follow the socialist way, and those who prefer the capitalist road has resulted in the great opposition between Mao Tse-tung and Liu Shao-chi. That this conflict is still in full swing is illustrated by the paragraph in the Peking Review (50, 11 December. 1970, p. 3): ‘The renegade, hidden traitor and scab Liu Shao-chi wildly interfered in and sabotaged Chairman Mao's proletarian revolutionary line in an attempt to lead China's commerce on to the vile road of capitalism’.Google Scholar

Revolutionary workers in an engineering factory in Peking have written a handbook with other groups, in which is laid down their acquired practical knowledge. The completion of this handbook is regarded as ‘a victory won by following Chairman Mao's mass-line’.Google Scholar
