This first Annual General Meeting of Hands off China extends its warm fraternal greetings to the Communist Party, Government and people of the People’s Republic of China.
In the last year, the Chinese people faced numerous challenges in the fields of politics, economy and natural disasters. Hostile imperialist forces did not stop their intrigues against socialist China for one moment. However, the Chinese people earned the admiration of working and progressive people throughout the world through the magnificent way they responded to the terrible Sichuan earthquake and by going on to stage the world’s best ever Olympic and Paralympic Games.
This year on 1 October, the People’s Republic will celebrate its 60th anniversary. We send our warmest congratulations and heartfelt greetings on this most auspicious occasion. In the six decades since the Chinese people stood up, under the leadership of the Communist Party and Comrade Mao Zedong, they have scored earth-shattering achievements in socialist construction, in banishing poverty, illiteracy and backwardness, and have made a huge contribution to the anti-imperialist struggle in every part of the world.
Today, as the capitalist world sinks into economic depression, and all the possible consequences that entails, it is once again of the utmost importance that China remain an independent, strong and socialist country, not only for the sake of the Chinese people, but for all the countries and peoples of Africa, Asia and Latin America, and for working and oppressed people throughout the world.
In the coming year, Hands off China will celebrate the 60th anniversary of their victorious revolution together with the Chinese people, most especially by continuing to tell the truth about China to working people and by exposing and opposing every anti-China fabrication, trick and provocation of the imperialists, particularly by our ‘own’ ruling class and its social democratic and other agents in the working class movement.
WARMLY GREET THE 60th FOUNDING ANNIVERSARY OF THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA!
LONG LIVE THE CHINESE REVOLUTION AND THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA!
