In the past there were too many portraits of Chairman Mao in China. They were hung everywhere. That was not proper and it didn't really show respect for Chairman Mao.

Whatever sentence is passed on the Gang of Four won't be excessive. They brought harm to millions upon millions of people.

In the final analysis, the general principle for our economic development in China is still that formulated by Chairman Mao, that is, to rely mainly on our own efforts with external assistance subsidiary.

If the masses feel some anger, we must let them express it.

In China, we are considering ways of resolving our problems by improving our institutions.

According to Marx, socialism is the first stage of communism and it covers a very long historical period in which we must practise the principle "to each according to his work" and combine the interests of the state, the collective and the individual, for only thus can we arouse people's enthusiasm for labour and develop socialist production.

The minority yields to the majority!
