China’s Long March: How a 1930s Peasant War Still Speaks to the Country Today

This past October marked the 90th anniversary of the Long March, where the Red Army and its peasant supporters began their year-long 6,000 mile trek across China. The trek was a strategic retreat from advancing Nationalist forces, but it also represented the mass mobilization of the peasant base, unified the country against Japanese imperialism, and consolidated Mao’s leadership of the CPC and its revolutionary strategy. The Long March was, in short, one of the greatest revolutionary feats of the 20th century. This week, Amanda and KJ are joined by Tings Chak to discuss the major achievements of the Long March, how it connects to present-day China, and how its revolutionary spirit is kept alive in Ruijin and Yan’an.
Our understanding of China - and U.S.-China relations - has become a defining feature of all global politics. The China Report is a new show produced in collaboration with Pivot to Peace where every week, journalist Amanda Yee and political analyst KJ Noh will be helping you through all the propaganda with an independent view of the country we are taught to hate, but know so little about.

Your talk brings back memories from my own past. I went in 1975 as an “educated youth” to a village next door to where Xi was still living and working as the Party head of the village. I can attest to the extremely harsh local conditions. Xi was already known and admired among the locals as a trusted young leader. He has certainly carried on that spirit of “serving the people” to this day.

It is wild to see him at these international meetings with all these leaders who were mostly born rich and imagine the contrast between what Xi was doing as a teenager (climbing a mountain to farm by hand everyday in brutal poverty) and what Donald Trump or Justin Trudeau was doing at the same age...

Glad to know that Long March is being incorporated in Chinese tourism. Sometimes the best way to learn about & appreciate history is to be in the places where it happened. It is very easily lost as young people live lives vastly different from those who actually made this present day prosperity a reality. Interesting connections with Brazil & the contradictions of buying from agri-business while the population faces food insecurity. Glad a way is being found to address this while at the same time non-interference with Brazil's internal affairs.

The Three Rules of Discipline and Eight points of attention is also song they taught soldiers to help them memorize it (due to illiteracy). If you ever want to get idea of the contrasting ideologies of the US and Chinese armed forces, listen to the kind of things US troops chant when they're marching featured in movies like Full Metal Jacket and compare that to what's being said in the Three Rules of Discipline and Eight Points of Attention... It's night and day.

If I was still chinese citizen, I will be part of red army. My grandpa's brother was a red army. Something I learned just 5-6 years ago. Because talking about being part of communist is a taboo subject in my current country. His brother passed away during the civil war in our past village. And I just learned my grandpa's village was one of red army hotspot. The villagers were too poor so we fought back the elites of KMT. My aunt studied in Beijing and part of Democratic student, protested how the chinese governed China in wrong direction. She then lived in HK. But after Dengxiaoping reformed China, my aunt and her colleagues kept their eyes on China and in the 2000s, she said China is going to the correct direction, that is the country she and her friends think should be. Btw not because of communism, but they protested how corrupted the government from top to bottom. How law and regulation wasn't implemented. She still doesn't like the silencing habit of China, but she said she won't complain because she like the current China. And she had always called herself a "democratic" supporter. Btw she didn't see any democratic behaviour during HK 2019 protest. She said they were anarchists.

Have you guys talked about how many Red Army soldiers went through the whole journey and suffered the most serious losses? Only 1 out of every 12 men arrived. Jiang Jieshi blocked the Red Army from four directions with the most advanced weapons provided by the United States and tried to annihilate in one fell swoop. More than 86,000 people from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Central Red Army were forced to evacuate the revolutionary base of Ruijin, Jiangxi Province, implement a strategic shift, and embark on a journey to the west to break out of the encirclement.

Exactly 10 years ago, there was an article, in the New York Times as I recall, in which a western journalist described his impression of the monuments in China to the Long March, which to me was negative because of his ignorance of the context. Below is my comment under that article. Dear Mr. Century, The title of your article suggests a lack of understanding of why the Long March and the people who did it are still so much revered and celebrated today in China, my home country. The monuments may look somewhat un-anesthetic or may be a bit rundown, however the spirit and significance of what they pay respect to cannot be over-stated. Only after the Long March did China finally drive out the foreign overlords and their domestic puppets. Only then was industrialization possible. Only then can you have the China you see today, however flawed she is. You have General Washington and Valley Forge (equally confused and uncertain as the Chinese Reds), we have Chairman Mao and Zunyi (equally unyielding and defiant as the colonials). These monuments may look hollow to you because you have not really understood the grand story that is behind them. Just as some random Chinese visitor may feel nonchalant or bored at the National Mall when he or she is clueless about what the Founding Fathers did for America. Respectfully, Daniel Zhu

I have lately discovered a really good method for discerning the difference between truth and lie....once you learned it, it is very easy to spot a lie. I can't tell if CPC is telling the truth or not, I have not worked that out yet. But if US,UK,EU,Izfake axis of evil tells you somebody is bad, then you know they are definitely lying. For example: USUK telling us how evil Mao is = you know they are lying Izfake is defending themselves = it's a lie pushing for a ceasefire in UKR or Palstine = it's a lie care about the muslims Uyghur in XJ = it's a lie (both USUK are busy ge no siding them in Palstine). tariff is a great idea = it's a lie care about its own citizen = it's a lie democracy is the best = a giant big fat lie inflation is transitory = it's a lie rising debt is not a problem = it's a lie Covax is great = it's a lie So you see, it is very easy to spot a lie from USUK led western govts, corporate media.

And their moviment was known for Peasant League. So, now we have a lot to learn from China. Thank you for the covering about Brazil and the very good knowledge from the Ms. Tings.

@ralphbernhard1757 2 ай бұрын

The entire system they favor in the West is based on a pre-set *managed and moderated division,* for the benefit of a very few at the top of the pyramids accompanied by the often repeated nice-sounding storyline. The graphic depiction of Yin and Yang is not only valid about the "good vs bad" dichotomy (Taoism), but can also apply to the model of "UNITY/CONCORD" vs "DIVISION/DISCORD". As the model of Yin and Yang states, there is always some good in the bad, and always some bad in the good, and equilibrium is hard to achieve since human nature tends to allow the pendulum to swing past the point of equilibrium, towards the other pole. Equally, every system based on division per default, always contains some elements of forces of unity. And, the other way around: systems based on the default setting that unity is the main principle, will always contain elements of division. When studying thousands of man-made systems, one reaches the conclusion that some are more "top down" UNITY with some lower tiered "freedoms" allowed in order to keep the peace, whilst others are more "bottom up freedoms" with restrictions applying. Both meet in the middle somewhere, and then try to constantly balance powers between the various factions. A "Republic" is already a "meet-in-the-middle" approach, since it divides power on multiple tiers. *What happened in Europe post-1900 can be juxtaposed onto China's recent relevant history of trying to break free from Western dominated imperialism.* To anybody who knows a bit of Chinese history, it becomes clear that our Western narrative of "WW2" does NOT apply to China, since China was already in a more or less bloody war between outside imperialists and meddlers (dividers of Chinese unity using local proxies). During its Century of Humiliation, China was a classical case of "war/policy/division" by proxy. Proxies were employed, funded, armed, and financed to achieve the division of China during the Era of European Imperialism. *The dividers have it easy.* All they have to do to create regional/global division, is to continuously lie to foster dissent, covertly steal for inequality, always meddle using political favouritism, and eternally instigate violence, by either outright *declaring war* or simply *allowing wars to happen* (not stop these wars, aka "enabling war as eternal event). The local political forces had to compete with outside dividers which had the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of POWER during the 19th and 20th centuries. The local strategists used old strategies to try to re-introduce a fully sovereign China. A union which could be free of outside meddling, completely independent and which was there for Chinese interests first and foremost, and not at the behest of outside imperialist powers and their proxy rule and domination. During these roughly 100 years, the European imperialist powers were later joined by the USA and Japanese imperialist powers, and later Soviet and Western ideologies, all continuously using China as battleground. Trying to overcome the OUTSIDE DIVIDERS by playing the same game of _more_ divisions, with yet _more_ divided Chinese systems, is of course a dumb strategy, because the DIVIDERS will always win. If weak, and while weak, the outside dividers will simply politically capture the rising powers, and morph or incorporate these. Therefore, in order to overcome the outside division, those searching for more internal unity will choose a top-down form of unity, not the bottom-up form of division. You don't fight fire with fire, but with water. *One doesn't fight division with **_more_** division, if the intention is more unity.* Therefore when studying the "WW2" part of the Chinese Century of Humiliation (1839-1947), it becomes clear why the western proxy Chiang-Kai Shek was accused by his allies of "hoarding" his Lend-Lease, and not doing more to fight the Japanese. The local proxies in China during this battle of "post-WW1 China" as yet another link between Ww1 and WW2, were already preparing for the war they KNEW would follow AFTER the Western narrative of "WW2" ended, and the West conveniently disposed of one of these outside proxies (Japan plus local collaborators). That WW2 had already resulted in a weakening of the European powers, for the benefit of whoever was left (grand strategy) was also already clear. *WW1 and WW2 were one global struggle with multiple layers and which merely had a 20 year gap in between.* Do we live in eternal peace interspersed by wars, or do we live in eternal war, interspersed by peace? In the eternal battle between unity/concord and division/discord, it is we who waste our time arguing. *Who is right or wrong?* Is it the "weak" who are right/wrong or the "strong"? Is it some the "the West" or is it some of "the rest"? Is it the "democracies" or is it the "autocracies"? Is it the "attacker" or the "defender"? Is it the "blue team" or the "yellow team". As they point fingers vigorously, arguing their *"my ingroup" against "your ingroup"-dichotomies,* here is one thing the opposites don't realize as they *argue like children.* Who gains from division? Who gains from unity? As they extend themselves, weaken themselves and end up totally exhausted with arguments, they don't realize they are *all* the victims of the biggest lie in history. *Who gains from eternal division?* Qui bono? The finger pointers are at the receiving end of the biggest joke of history, for as they point the finger at someone else to try to pass the blame for their own previous actions, they stumble in broad daylight, and fall for the false prophets who deceive them.

Question to China report: Chinese private business sectors, of both owns by Chinese national and Chinese none national in the global south nation, also employs similar mean of economic exploiting the local works forces as well as local government weak controls and protections on their environmental resources. Similar to the west monopoly capital interest. (PS: This is about the private business sectors, it isn't about the Chinese government or Chinese people). If those global south nations declares that they are fighting against capital monopoly of all types, including capital monopoly from Chinese companies and such government from the global south, may they be in Africa, Near east or South East Asia are fighting to protect their worker rights of labors against economic exploiting by big employers and investment firms, as well as environmental regulation to protect their environment from being bought up and ransack by profits driven interest, along with putting tariffs or other mean of domestic industry controls to develops their industries instead of having it's being sold to the foreign investment funded sectors, which is to say, these will hurts Chinese companies Profits, along with any monopoly capital companies from the West. Would China report supports these nations and their government or political groups decision to protect their labor and resources against monopoly capital interest from all business groups, west and east alike? From the point of views of many economic leftist in the global south, China only seem to be interest in Socialism in China, and does not bother about their business sectors did Imperialism in the global south, and rather ignores, or refuse to acknowledge the unequal exchanges between Chinese Companies and the working populations of the global South, which does put Xi word into questions: In Xi thought, the book, Xi and the CPC is against nationalist protectionism, YET all nations, including China had use tariffs and protectionist measures to industrializes and improves domestic self sufficient production. Much China is offering "Negotiation" by the unfair exchange, where Chinese Companies, being already a developed companies, can produces ways mores goods at cheaper cost, than local starting industries can produces a similar products as fast, as abundance or as cheap. Taking Kenya, if I remember correctly to be them for example. While BRICS helps to improves and funded the Cement productions and quality control in Kenya. China Companies also pours massive qualities of their own Cement products, which is abundantly cheaper into Kenya, effectively taking the capital investment and buying powers from Kenyan starting Cement industries into the already developed Chinese Cement producers. How does this help Kenya? Seem like Chinese Business interest sabotages Kenyan or similar countries from developed their own industry by taking aways their people spending on their industry. If Chinese Business is interested from profiting off from Third World nations, then how is that different from Western Nations, the part that doesn't use their military or intelligence or private army to enforces and protect their companies and colonial control? Under the Market system, Industries that are high cost such as anything but low cost industries would not get finances because it doesn't yield easy profits, while low cost industries will always results in profits, and so far China operates in the same models when they interact with business partner from foreign third world nations. With these reason, the interest of China in the third world, there for, no more and no les motivate by the selfish interest marketizes profits incentives, monopoly capital needs and desires to purchase more mean of economic productions and profiting from the global south being less capable of producing their own goods due to being colonializes by the West for centuries. Then how is this, that Modern post Mao China different from the Ottoman Empire for example, which claims to saves the Arabs nations, Jewish kingdom and Christian cities states from the fanatical West whiles under it's govern, also allow their own business interest to bought up the productions facilities of all these small holding, and monopolizes them to bring profits to the Turkish people while deprive and undermine the small nations from self sufficient local productions for their own needs?

khanete, you don't understand what I mean. What I speaking about isn't conquest, but how the ottoman set up a relationship of complete economic dependant for its vassal regions and complete reliance to the ottoman central region, along with how it's prevent its vassals and small allies states from advancing their owns productions in the three basics need through economic, political and military soft powers and hard powers pressure. china back in the feudal era did the same. china conquered and creates a complicated alliance between allies and vassal state. But they also don't let their advances technology to go to these regions which they financially profits from taxes, retribute and right to resources, instead if these regions want to access the technology which they may deeply need, like medicine, they have to come to china, and learn to be china, then having to due with it bureaucracy of cultural supremacy which is notoriously the same as the roman and it's "race/cultural" base discrimination and supremacist, and that is hopefully if china allow them to adopts those tech without a heavy prices in exchange. The push from xi thought book against national protectionism call in question this exact same thing. Does china want to help these nations out of support for the global south like they said, or they just want a profitable market which will naturally come at the expense of the global south countries domestic market. Sure, thank you the deal with china, african may have more deposal income, and can spend more, but if they spend it's on china, their domestic economy would be no better than before bric's.
