The Hongkong-based Ming Pao (September 9) asking whether this year's Sixth Plenary Session
will really pass a third "historical resolution", observed that the earlier two such resolutions by
Mao and Deng had negated the line of the former 'dynasty'. It recalled Xi Jinping's statement that
"two thirty years cannot be mutually negated" and said 'before and after the reform and opening
up, that is, he must inherit Mao and Deng as well. For him, there is neither a predecessor who
needs to be liquidated nor an established policy that needs to be denied. His review of the party’s
history in his July 1 speech only praised the brilliance, without shortcomings and mistakes. He
remembered Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De, Deng Xiaoping, Chen Yun and other
veterans, and paid tribute to Mao Deng Jianghu and other leaders in the party history exhibition.
There are many. As stated in the announcement of the Politburo meeting that decided on the theme
of the Sixth Plenary Session , "In the past 100 years, the party has presented an excellent answer
to the people and history." At a time when the external pressure is great and there is an urgent need
to gather the hearts of the people inside, the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the
Communist Party of China summarizes a century of history and should not go to those unhappy
scars to talk about things'. Ming Pao added that 'from a technical point of view, the drafting of the
third historical resolution is also a huge project. The "45 Resolution" was brewed in 1941
to passed in 1945, which lasted more than 4 years and went through the entire process of Yan'an
rectification; the "81 Resolution" was from November 1979. It took more than a year and a half
from the month of preparation to the adoption in June 1981, during which a discussion meeting of
2
4,000 high-ranking cadres lasted for a month. If it is not for years of gestation, it is not easy to
come up with a third historical resolution within two months
