STATEMENT SUPPORTING THE AMERICAN
NEGROES IN THEIR JUST STRUGGLE AGAINST
RACIAL DISCRIMINATION BY U.S. IMPERIALISM
August 8, 1963
An American Negro leader now taking refuge in Cuba, Mr.
Robert Williams, the former President of the Monroe, North
Carolina, Chapter of the National Association for the Advance-
ment of Coloured People, has twice this year asked me for
a statement in support of the American Negroes’ struggle
against racial discrimination. On behalf of the Chinese people,
I wish to take this opportunity to express our resolute support
for the American Negroes in their struggle against racial dis-
crimination and for freedom and equal rights.
There are more than 19 million Negroes in the United States,
or about 11 per cent of the total population. They are enslaved,
oppressed and discriminated against — such is their position in
society. The overwhelming majority are deprived of their right
to vote. In general, only the most backbreaking and despised
jobs are open to them. Their average wages are barely a third
or a half those of the white people. The proportion of unem-
ployment among the Negroes is the highest. In many states
they are forbidden to go to the same school, eat at the same
table, or travel in the same section of a bus or train as the white
Mao Tse-tung, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist
Party of China, made this statement when receiving a group of African
friends. — Ed.

people. Negroes are often arrested, beaten up or murdered at
will by the U.S. authorities at various levels and by members
of the Ku Klux Klan and other racists. About half the Ameri-
can Negroes are concentrated in eleven southern states,
where the discrimination and persecution they suffer are especially
shocking.
The American Negroes are awakening and their resistance is
growing stronger and stronger. Recent years have witnessed a
continuous expansion of their mass struggle against racial dis-
crimination and for freedom and equal rights.
In 1957 the Negro people in Little Rock, Arkansas, waged a
fierce struggle against the barring of their children from public
schools. The authorities used armed force against them, creating
the Little Rock incident which shocked the world.
In 1960 Negroes in more than twenty states held “sit-in”
demonstrations protesting against racial segregation in local
restaurants, shops and other public places.
In 1961 the Negroes launched the “freedom riders” campaign
to oppose racial segregation in public transportation, a cam-
paign which rapidly spread to many states.
In 1962 the Negroes in Mississippi fought for the equal right
to enrol in colleges and met with bloody suppression by the
authorities.
This year, the American Negroes started their struggle early
in April in Birmingham, Alabama. Unarmed and bare-handed
Negro people were arrested en masse and most barbarously
suppressed merely for holding meetings and parades against
racial discrimination. On June 12 Mr. Medgar Evers, a leader
of the Negro people in Mississippi, was murdered in cold blood.
Defying brutality and violence, the indignant black masses
waged their struggle even more heroically and quickly won the
support of Negroes and other people of various strata through-
out the United States. A gigantic and vigorous nation-wide
3
struggle is going on in nearly every city and state, and the
struggle is mounting. American Negro organizations have de-
cided to start a “freedom march” on Washington on August 28,
in which 250,000 people will take part.
The speedy development of the struggle of the American
Negroes is a manifestation of sharpening class struggle and
sharpening national struggle within the United States; it has
been causing increasing anxiety among U.S. ruling circles. The
Kennedy Administration is insidiously using dual tactics. On
the one hand, it continues to connive at and take part in dis-
crimination against Negroes and their persecution, and it even
sends troops to suppress them. On the other hand; in the at-
tempt to numb the fighting will of the Negro people and de-
ceive the masses of the country the Kennedy Administration is
parading as an advocate of “the defence of human rights” and
“the protection of the civil rights of Negroes”, calling upon the
Negro people to exercise “restraint” and proposing the “civil
rights legislation” to Congress. But more and more Negroes
are seeing through these tactics of the Kennedy Administration.
The fascist atrocities of the U.S. imperialists against the Negro
people have exposed the true nature of so-called American de-
mocracy and freedom and revealed the inner link between the
reactionary policies pursued by the U.S. government at home
and its policies of aggression abroad.
I call on the workers, peasants, revolutionary intellectuals, en-
lightened elements of the bourgeoisie and other enlightened
persons of all colours in the world, whether white, black, yellow
or brown, to unite to oppose the racial discrimination practised
by U.S. imperialism and support the American Negroes in
their struggle against racial discrimination. In the final analysis,
national struggle is a matter of class struggle. Among the
whites in the United States it is only the reactionary ruling
circles who oppress the Negro people. They can in no way
represent the workers, farmers, revolutionary intellectuals and
other enlightened persons who comprise the overwhelming ma-
jority of the white people. At present, it is the handful of im-
perialists headed by the United States, and their supporters, the
reactionaries in different countries, who are oppressing, com-
mitting aggression against and menacing the overwhelming ma-
jority of the nations and peoples of the world. We are in the
majority and they are in the minority. At most, they make up
less than 10 per cent of the 3,000 million population of the
world. I am firmly convinced that, with the support of more
than 90 per cent of the people of the world, the American
Negroes will be victorious in their just struggle. The evil system
of colonialism and imperialism arose and throve with the en-
slavement of Negroes and the trade in Negroes, and it will
surely come to its end with the complete emancipation of the
black people.

STATEMENT OPPOSING AGGRESSION AGAINST
SOUTHERN VIETNAM AND SLAUGHTER OF ITS
PEOPLE BY THE U.S.-NGO DINH DIEM CLIQUE
August 29, 1963
Recently, the reactionary Ngo Dinh Diem clique in south
Vietnam has been intensifying its sanguinary suppression of
Buddhists, students, intellectuals and the masses of the people.
The Chinese people are deeply indignant at the monstrous
crimes of the Ngo Dinh Diem clique and strongly condemn
them. President Ho Chi Minh has issued a statement strongly
protesting against the crimes of U.S. imperialism and the Diem
clique. We the Chinese people whole-heartedly support Presi-
dent Ho Chi Minh’s statement.
U.S. imperialism and its lackey Ngo Dinh Diem have been
following the policy of turning southern Vietnam into a U.S.
colony, unleashing counter-revolutionary war and reinforcing
their fascist dictatorship. This has compelled the people of
various strata in southern Vietnam to unite on a broad scale
and wage a resolute struggle against them.
U.S. imperialism and the Diem clique now find themselves
besieged by all the people of southern Vietnam against whom
they have set themselves. No matter what inhuman weapons
U.S. imperialism may use or what ruthless means of suppres-
sion the Diem clique may employ, that regime cannot escape
Chairman Mao Tse-tung made this statement when receiving a delegation
of the South Vietnam National Front for Liberation. — Ed.

its fate of total isolation and collapse, and U.S. imperialism will
finally have to get out of southern Vietnam.
Ngo Dinh Diem is a faithful lackey of U.S. imperialism.
However, once a lackey has outlived his usefulness and be-
comes an encumbrance to the U.S. imperialist policy of aggres-
sion, the U.S. imperialists do not hesitate to replace him with
another. The fate of Syngman Rhee in south Korea provides
a precedent. A flunkey who allows himself to be led by the
nose by U.S. imperialism will only end up in the same grave
as his master.
U.S. imperialism has violated the agreements reached at the
first Geneva Conference by obstructing the reunification of
Vietnam, conducting open armed aggression against southern
Vietnam and engaging in so-called special warfare over a period
of years. It has also violated the agreements of the second Ge-
neva Conference by its flagrant intervention in Laos in an at-
tempt to rekindle the civil war there. Apart from those who
are deliberately deceiving the people and those who are utterly
naive, no one will assert that a treaty can make U.S. imperialism
lay down its butcher’s knife and suddenly become a Buddha,
or for that matter behave itself even a little better.
The oppressed peoples and nations must not pin their hopes
for liberation on the “sensibleness” of imperialism and its
lackeys. They will only triumph by strengthening their unity
and persevering in their struggle. This is what the people of
southern Vietnam are doing.
In their just patriotic struggle against U.S. imperialism and
the Diem clique the people of southern Vietnam have won
major victories both politically and militarily. We the Chinese
people firmly support their just struggle.
I am convinced that through struggle they will attain the
goal of liberating the southern part of Vietnam and contribute
to the peaceful reunification of their fatherland.
It is my hope that the working class, the revolutionary people
and progressives throughout the world will all stand by the
people of southern Vietnam and, in response to President Ho
Chi Minh’s call, support the just struggle of the heroic people
of southern Vietnam and oppose aggression and oppression by
the counter-revolutionary U.S.-Diem clique, and thus help the
people there save themselves from slaughter and achieve com-
plete liberation.

STATEMENT SUPPORTING THE PANAMANIAN
PEOPLE’S JUST PATRIOTIC STRUGGLE AGAINST
U.S. IMPERIALISM
January 12, 1964
The struggle now being heroically waged by the people of
Panama against U.S. aggression and in defence of their national
sovereignty is a great and patriotic struggle. The Chinese
people stand firmly on the side of the Panamanian people and
fully support their just action in opposing the U.S. aggressors
and demanding the recovery of sovereignty over the Panama
Canal Zone.
U.S. imperialism is the most ferocious enemy of the people
of the world.
Not only has it committed the grave crime of aggression
against the Panamanian people and persistently plotted to
strangle socialist Cuba, it has never ceased to plunder and op-
press the people of all the Latin American countries and sup-
press their national-democratic revolutionary struggles.
In Asia, U.S. imperialism has forcibly occupied China’s
Taiwan, converted the southern parts of Korea and of Vietnam
into its colonies, kept Japan under its control and partial mili-
tary occupation, undermined the peace, neutrality and independ-

Daily) correspondent. — Ed.

ence of Laos, plotted to subvert the Royal Government of
Cambodia, and carried out intervention and aggression against
other Asian countries. More recently, it has decided to send a
U.S. fleet into the Indian Ocean, menacing the security of the
Southeast Asian countries.
In Africa, U.S. imperialism is stepping up its neo-colonialist
policies and actively seeking to replace the old colonialists,
plunder and enslave the peoples of Africa, and undermine and
stamp out their national-liberation movements.
The policies of aggression and war of U.S. imperialism also
seriously threaten the Soviet Union, China and the other social-
ist countries. Moreover, it is striving to promote its policy of
“peaceful evolution” in the socialist countries in order to restore
capitalism there and break up the socialist camp.
Even towards its own allies in Western Europe, North Amer-
ica and Oceania U.S. imperialism follows the policy of the
law of the jungle, trying to trample them underfoot.
The aggressive plans of U.S. imperialism to dominate the
whole world run in a continuous line from Truman, through
Eisenhower and Kennedy, to Johnson.
The people of the countries in the socialist camp should
unite, the people of the countries in Asia, Africa and Latin
America should unite, the people of all the continents should
unite, all peace-loving countries should unite, and all countries
subjected to U.S. aggression, control, intervention or bullying
should unite, and so form the broadest united front to oppose
the U.S. imperialist policies of aggression and war and to defend
world peace.
Riding roughshod everywhere, U.S. imperialism has made it-
self the enemy of the people of the world and has increasingly
isolated itself. Those who refuse to be enslaved will never be
cowed by the atom bombs and hydrogen bombs in the hands
of the U.S. imperialists. The raging tide of the people of the
world against the U.S. aggressors is irresistible. Their struggle
against U.S. imperialism and its lackeys will assuredly win
still greater victories.

STATEMENT SUPPORTING THE JAPANESE
PEOPLE’S JUST PATRIOTIC STRUGGLE AGAINST
U.S. IMPERIALISM
January 27, 1964
The massive anti-U.S. demonstration by the Japanese people
on January 26 constitutes a great patriotic movement. On be-
half of the Chinese people, I wish to express deep respect for
the heroic Japanese people.
A large-scale mass movement has recently started throughout
Japan to oppose the entry and stationing in Japan of U.S. F-105D
aircraft carrying nuclear weapons and of nuclear submarines
and to demand the dismantling of U.S. military bases, the with-
drawal of U.S. armed forces, the return of Japan’s territory of
Okinawa, the abrogation of the Japanese-U.S. “Security Treaty”,
etc. This reflects the will and aspirations of the entire Japanese
people. The Chinese people whole-heartedly support the just
struggle of the Japanese people.
Ever since the end of World War II, Japan has been sub-
jected to U.S. imperialist political, economic and military oppres-
sion. Not only have the U.S. imperialists oppressed the work-
ers, peasants, students, intellectuals, urban petty bourgeoisie,
religious circles and medium and small entrepreneurs of Japan,
they have also brought many big Japanese entrepreneurs under
Chairman Mao Tse-tung made this statement when receiving a group of
Japanese friends. — Ed.
their control, interfered in Japan’s foreign policy and treated
Japan as a dependency. U.S. imperialism is the most ferocious
enemy of the Japanese nation.
Japan is a great nation. It will certainly not allow U.S. im-
perialism to ride roughshod over it for long. The last few
years have seen the constant broadening of the patriotic united
front of all strata of the Japanese people against U.S. impe-
rialist aggression, oppression and control. This is the surest
guarantee of victory in their patriotic struggle against U.S. impe-
rialism. The Chinese people are convinced that the Japanese
people will be able to drive the U.S. imperialists from their
soil and realize their aspirations for independence, democracy,
peace and neutrality.
The Chinese and Japanese peoples should unite, the peo-
ple of various Asian countries should unite, all oppressed peo-
ple and nations of the world should unite, all- peace-loving
countries should unite, all countries and individuals subjected
to U.S. imperialist aggression, control, intervention or bullying
should unite and form a broad united front against U.S. im-
perialism to frustrate its-plans for aggression and war and to
defend world peace.
U.S. imperialism get out of Japan! Get out of the Western
Pacific! Get out of Asia! Get out of Africa and Latin America!
Get out of Europe and Oceania! Get out of all the countries
and places subjected to U.S. aggression, control, intervention
or bullying!

STATEMENT SUPPORTING THE PEOPLE OF THE
CONGO (L.) AGAINST U.S. AGGRESSION
November 28, 1964
The armed aggression of U.S. imperialism against the Congo
(L.) is a very grave matter.
The United States has all along attempted to control the
Congo. It has used the United Nations forces to perpetrate
every kind of villainy there. It murdered the Congolese na-
tional hero Lumumba and subverted the lawful Congolese Gov-
ernment. It imposed the puppet Tshombe on the Congolese
people and dispatched mercenary troops to suppress the Con-
golese national-liberation movement. And now, in league with
Belgium and Britain, it is carrying out direct armed interven-
tion in the Congo. The purpose of U.S. imperialism is not only
to control the Congo, but also once again to enmesh the whole
of Africa — particularly the newly independent African coun-
tries — this time in the toils of U.S. neo-colonialism. U.S. ag-
gression has encountered heroic resistance from the Congolese
people and aroused the indignation of the people of Africa
and the whole world.
U.S. imperialism is the common enemy of the people of the
world. It is committing aggression against south Vietnam, in-
tervening in Laos, menacing Cambodia and blustering about
extending the war in Indo-China. It is thing by every means
to strangle the Cuban revolution. It wants to turn West Ger-
many and Japan into the two major U.S. nuclear bases. It h
