Peking Review – 1978

Peking Review – 1978

Peking Review was the weekly political and informative magazine published between 1958 and 1978. With issue No 1 of 1979 the magazine was renamed Beijing Review, the new name bringing with it a new direction in the People’s Republic of China and was an open statement of the reintroduction of capitalism in the erstwhile Socialist Republic.

The issues and topics included in 1978:

Throughout 1978 those ‘capitalist-roaders’ that had gained control of the once revolutionary Communist Party of China further consolidated their power and, the attacks on the so-called ‘Gang of Four’ were put on the back burner and they attempted to justify their restoration of capitalism in the country through a distortion of the Marxist ideology – using Marxism to destroy Marxism (as the Communist Party of China once accused the Communist Party of the Soviet Union of doing).

This blog is not interested in promoting revisionism and the destruction of Socialist societies so the last issues of Peking Review will be the last to be found here. Even the capitalist-roaders in Peking realised this and drew a distinct line with the past by changing the name of the capital city, and the weekly magazine, and so from issue No. I of 1979 the magazine was renamed Beijing Review.

For those interested in the magazine from 1979 can see all issues from 1979 to 1990, and then occasional issues after that date, at massline.org.

Beijing Review

From issue No. 1 of 1979 the weekly political and informative magazine Peking Review changed its name to Beijing Review. On page 3 of that number the editors made the open declaration of the change in the direction of the erstwhile ‘People’s Republic of China’.

By stating that the Communist Party of China (under the control then of Teng Hsiao-Ping/Deng Xiaoping ) sought

‘to accomplish socialist modernisation by the end of the century and turn China …. into an economically developed and fully democratic socialist country’

the CPC was openly declaring the rejection of the revolutionary path, which the country had been following since 1949, and the adoption of the road that would inevitably lead to the full scale establishment of capitalism.

For those who would like to follow this downward spiral into the murky depths of capitalism and imperialism in the issues of Beijing Review (complete for the years 1979-1990 – intermittently thereafter) you can do so by going to bannedthought – which also serves as an invaluable resource for more material about China during its revolutionary phase.

Peking Review – 1977

The issues and topics included in 1977:

The ‘capitalist-roaders’ were able to gain positions of power soon after Comrade Mao’s death in September 1976. The pages of Peking Review in 1977 continued to show how they attempted to justify their efforts to turn the revolution from the Socialist road by using the words of Chairman Mao. Also, there’s no better way of understanding their capitalist and revisionist tactics than by seeing how they attacked the so-called ‘Gang of Four’ – who were losing the struggle against those seeking to destroy the Chinese Revolution.
