Government Documents and Leadership Speeches Regarding the Inner Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (Volume II)

The attitude of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) toward Inner Mongolia and the "Inner Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party" (IMPRP) underwent several critical shifts.

In October 1925, the IMPRP was established with strong support from the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party—the ruling party of the Mongolian People's Republic—and the Comintern. At that time, the CCP also expressed support for the Inner Mongolian people's right to self-determination and encouraged the IMPRP to fight for it. The "Declaration of the Central Government of the Chinese Soviet to the Inner Mongolian People," issued in 1935, further stated: "The Inner Mongolian people may organize themselves as they wish; they have the right to organize their lives, establish their own government, and have the right to form a federal relationship with other nations or to separate completely according to their own principles." However, in the 1960s, after the CCP gained power and the situation stabilized, its attitude changed drastically. The IMPRP was characterized as a "national separatist party," a label used to purge Mongolian elites and persecute Mongolian civilians. Between 1967 and 1969, nearly 500,000 Inner Mongolians were victimized, severely damaging the vitality of the Mongolian nation.

In 1969, prior to the convening of the Ninth National Congress of the CCP, an increasing number of persecuted Inner Mongolians traveled to Beijing to petition. To ensure the smooth opening of the Congress, the Central Government issued the "May 22nd Directive," demanding redress for "good people" wrongly injured during the "Incident of Purging the Inner Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party." The political climate in Inner Mongolia shifted overnight. Additionally, the "August 28th Order" issued after the Ninth Congress required revolutionary committees in border areas to prepare for anti-aggression (against the US and USSR). Previous propaganda focusing on "digging out the black line" and "cleansing toxic influence" targeting Mongolians was replaced by calls for "Inner Mongolia being on the front line of war" and "uniting against foreign enemies."

Such shifts are particularly evident in CCP government documents and leadership speeches. The CCP's authoritarian regime bears the hallmarks of "rule by man," where the speeches of high-ranking officials—often presented as "opinions," "comments," or "directives"—actually represent the will of the government and carry an irresistible nature. A shift in government documents and leadership speeches signifies a shift in overall national policy.

This book collects official Chinese government documents and speeches from numerous CCP leaders during the IMPRP incident. Divided into two volumes, the materials have been re-typed and formatted based on historical records. Volume II covers the period from July 1969 to the late Cultural Revolution, including transcripts of petition group meetings, redress decisions, and notices of rehabilitation.

The "Inner Mongolia Cultural Revolution Archives" series consists of five titles, including: "Collection of General Teng Haiqing's Speeches on the Inner Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party" (3 volumes), "Historical Evidence and Social Mobilization for Digging out the Inner Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party" (2 volumes), "Report of Victims in Tumd Right Banner, Inner Mongolia" (1 volume), and "Records of Victims and Perpetrators in the Inner Mongolia Military Region" (1 volume).
