(February 7,1953)
The
struggle to resist U.S.aggression and aid Korea
should be strengthened. As U.S. imperialism insists
on detaining Chinese and Korean POWs, sabotaging
the armistice negotiations, and attempting vainly
to expand its war of aggression in Korea, the struggle
to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea must continue
to be strengthened.We are for peace, but so long
as U.S. imperialism does not give up its arrogant
and unreasonable demands and its schemes to expand
aggression, the determination of the Chinese people
is to fight on together with the Korean people.
This is not because we are warlike. We are willing
to stop fighting immediately and leave other matters
to be resolved in the future. However.U.S. imperialism
is not willing to do so.Well, then, fighting has
to continue.We are prepared to fight as many years
as U.S. imperialism wants to fight, fight on until
U.S. imperialism is willing to give up, or until
complete victory is won by the Chinese and Korean
peoples.
