WALTER SISULU

My visit to the new China has been a remarkable and unforgettable experience. . . From these experiences, it is clear to me that tremendous changes are being brought about in this vast country by the Mao Tse-Tung Government, and that when China's six hundred million speak of their liberation, they mean something very real. Although the Communist Party of China is the leading party in the coalition government, there is real unity in China today, based upon the common opposition of many classes to imperialism, the landlord classes, bureaucratic capitalism and the readtionary kuomintang clique of Chiang Kai-Shek. Workers and peasants, petty bourgeoisie, intellectuals and the national bourgeoisie form the People's Democratic State of China.
