  • The Internal Information Transmission inside CCP from 1948 to 1954: Focusing on the “Reporting System”
    Jun ZHOU
    This paper examines the structure and mechanism of the internal information transmission of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which features an enormous and highly centralized political system. More specifically, from the perspective of historical study, the research sheds light on the origin, evolution, and actual implementation, and the institutional issues of the “Reporting System” (qingshi baogao zhidu), which functioned as an internal bottom-up, or local-central channel, for information gathering and delivering activities. The “Reporting System” , born during the period of the Chinese Civil War as a type of wartime arrangement, was further strengthened after the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949 due to Mao Zedong’s strong motivation for centralizing his political power and the necessity of building a planned economy. However, problems inherent in the system, such as (1)slowness, (2)excessive information, and(3)spread of falsehoods, made the issue of communication breakdowns within the organization an ongoing challenge for the CCP.

    Local inspections (difang shicha, also known as diaocha yanjiu) used to be a “special window” through which central leaders in China could understand local politics. Using historical analysis and geographic information systems (GIS) visualization, this article examines the inspections conducted by 35 central leaders, including Mao Zedong, between 1949 and 1955. The analysis focuses on the leaders’ patterns of mobility, the function of the inspections, and the relationship between inspections and central decision-making. The results of GIS visualization show that the 35 leaders visited mainly cities with access to rail, as opposed to rural areas. Although these inspections were sometimes used for policy propaganda, their original function was to gather information for central decision-making. However, due to local impediments involving strategies such as cover-ups, frauds, and staged performances, it was difficult for central leaders to understand the actual state of local politics. Even Mao Zedong, who had a special power, was no exception. Using the case study of the 1955 agricultural collectivization, this study further demonstrates how local inspections failed to bring policy success in Mao’s era, finding that local inspections functioned more as a means for Mao to prove his legitimacy than as a method for obtaining real information. As a result, the inspections led to misjudgments and policy mistakes by Mao regarding agricultural collectivization and laid the groundwork for the Great Leap Forward in 1958.

    This paper attempts to analyze the origin, substance and evolution of the state secret-guarding system in contemporary China governed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Based on first-hand historical materials, the paper argues that due to the CCP’s mindset of strong insecurity amid a dangerous external environment around 1950s, the leaders of the newborn Communist regime decided to maintain, revive and institutionalize the “secretism” formed in the revolution era. However, due to the ambiguous definition of the “state secrets”, cases of contractions and distortions within the policy process of the state secret-guarding system were common. Although the CCP leaders were aware of the flaws of the system, reforms have been limited and failed to bring significant improvement. This paper identifies 3 major reasons for the reform stagnancy: firstly, the CCP regards the system as an invaluable legacy for its revolutionary success rather than a liability; secondly, the CCP attempts to maximize the utility of the system to monopolize its political power, therefore lacking the motivation to reduce its scale and intensity; thirdly, the excessive system was also the result of CCP’s exaggeration of the danger of spy infiltration from its outside enemies. As a result, the core of the state secret-guarding system remains almost intact and continues to serves as a pillar of its one-party ruling today.

    Since the 1920s, the Chinese Communist Party has heavily relied on a special confidential communication system, the jiyao jiaotong (机要交通), as its most important tool for organizational communication. Yet until now, we have had little knowledge about its establishment and development, as well as its merits and deficiencies. Focusing on the period of the 1950s, this research reveals the system’s organizational structure and the role of its postmen (jiao tong yuan 交通员). The findings are as follows. First, after experimenting with both party and military control, the CCP ultimately settled upon a separate management model for the specialized system whereby power is shared by the Party(jiyao jiaotong 机要交通) and the State Post Bureau(jiyao tongxin 机要通信). Second, this model originated from the Soviet Union and has been preserved until today. Finally, while the model has greatly improved communication efficacy and information confidentiality, the Party has failed to motivate its postmen and is yet to propose an effective solution for this problem.

    本稿は、1949年以前の中共革命期を対象時期とし、中共組織内の秘密通信網ーー党内交通の研究史をまとめたものである。党内交通とは、密使としての交通員に依拠する人的な通信網であり、情報伝達、移動する幹部の護送、物資の運搬はその主な任務であった。結党初期の1920年代から、中共はすでに党内交通の重要性を認識しており、その役割を組織の存亡にかかわる血管と例えていた。しかし、これまでの先行研究には多くの問題があり、更なる深化・進化が求められている。第一に、党内交通の業務は秘密工作の一環であり、その関連資料は非公開とされる場合が多いため、実証研究の推進が困難であること。第二に、資料収集の困難さを乗り越え、個別事例を通して実証分析を試みる研究成果が次々に生まれてきたが、トータル的な視点で党内交通の見取り図を提示する研究が存在しないこと。第三に、1949年人民共和国成立が一つの境界線となり、研究者は1949年以降の事情に目を向けていないこと。第四に、中国の党史研究界では事象への精査が行われているが、中国国外の理論研究に強い関心を示さないこと。第四に、文献資料の解読という伝統的な研究手法に満足する傾向があり、例えばGIS地理情報システムによる可視化の手法など、新たな研究手法を取り入れる意欲が足りないこと。

    Neibu Cankao (NC 内部参考) is widely recognized as one of China’s classified internal bulletins, yet little is known about its functions and how it shaped the central-local relations in the country. NC began its publication by the Xinhua News Agency in 1949 as a daily bulletin, documenting sensitive domestic topics which were not suitable for public release, such as riots, cases of corruption, accidents, and outbreaks of infectious disease. Its circulation was limited, with only senior cadres of the CCP being granted access. Despite its similarity with the Soviet bulletin system, NC was a product of the CCP’s own attempt at solving the information dilemma of its dictatorship, and thus served as an important tool for gathering information. It also played a crucial role in the supervision of lower cadres, while at the same time providing the central committee of the CCP and more importantly, Mao Zedong, with a way to exert influence on policymaking. However, the full realization of its functions faced several challenges. First, the Xinhua journalists responsible for NC were often mistrusted, as most of them were highly educated young people, who lacked revolutionary experience and came from bourgeois families. Second, NC’s independence was hampered by the increasing inferences of local party committees. Though the journalists could criticize local party committees and were backed by Hu Qiaomu (or more precisely—by Mao), in 1953 Liu Shaoqi granted the committees with permission to review NC manuscripts, because he believed them to be more trustworthy. These local interventions put journalists in a very risky position, especially when they disagreed with local authorities or made critical comments on local issues. This led to NC’s becoming a mouthpiece for local party committees, rather than a political tool of the central party committee. Finally, Mao used to constantly send instructions on policymaking to senior cadres via NC, reminding them of what they should focus on. This forced journalists to shift their attention from issues they considered important to what were essentially Mao’s concerns. In sum, NC was stuck between the pressures from both the central and the local committees of the party, which ended up putting it at a constant risk of disfunction. Ultimately, the plight of NC was a reflection of the structural problems in the CCP’s rule.

  • Material Utilization and Issues in the Chinese Communist Party History Studies: In the Case of Internal Periodicals
    Jun ZHOU
    浅谈中共党史研究的史料运用与课题:以内部发行的杂志为中心 本文以中国的党政军机关、企事业单位、群众团体发行的内部杂志为中心,探讨了中共党史研究的史料状况、运用方法以及相关注意事项。理解史料在同时代所扮演的角色以及生成过程是运用史料的基本前提,所以,本文对此问题亦有涉及。需要说明的是,本文讨论的内部杂志,并不包含中共各级报道机关提供的内参系列(例如新华社的《内部参考》等)。探讨中共革命时期(1949年以前)的内部杂志的文献已经大量存在,因此,本文主要聚焦毛泽东时代(1949-1976)。 本文由5节构成,概要如下。第1节主要介绍了中共对信息的管控特点——内外有别的信息分流构造。在组织内部的沟通中,内部杂志扮演着神经器官的重要角色,并且,中共干部接触内部杂志的权限呈重层结构。一般而言,内部杂志设定的保密级别越高,其记载的问题则更为真实。但需注意的是,内部杂志并不能完全反映当时的实际情况。尽管如此,因为目前中国存在较强的信息管制,同时,档案馆的管理进一步趋于严格,所以,收集和整理毛泽东时代的内部杂志仍是极为重要的基础性工作。 第2节主要介绍了从战前到今日,日本学界对中共内部杂志的使用情况。日本学界历来非常重视中共相关史料的收集与原文翻译。1960-90年代,日本出版了大量的翻译史料集,其中包括许多1949年以前的内部杂志,例如《中央政治通讯》。但是,概而言之,日本学界翻译的各类史料集基本没有触及1949年以后的内部杂志。1990年代以后,随着地区研究的学术理念在日本生根发芽以及冷战的结束,日本翻译中共史料的热潮迅速减退,取而代之的是各式各样的中国研究(China Studies)的指南类书籍。此类书籍一般由学者们共同编写,涵盖的主题包括中国的政治、经济、社会、文化、民族、国际关系等多个领域。但是,琳琅满目的指南类书籍也几乎没有提及1949年以后的内部杂志。2000年代以后,随着互联网技术的发展,中国的各种学术电子数据库也被介绍到日本。遗憾的是,除了一些特殊个案以外,中国的电子数据库很少收录1949年以后的内部杂志。近年,日本学界十分关注美国的中文出版物服务中心出版的史料影印集《中共重要历史资料文献汇编》。《汇编》第21辑《1949年以来中共内部党刊资料专辑》收录了60余种1949年以后的内部杂志。但是,从种类上而言,这只是冰山一角。根据笔者的推断,在毛泽东时代的中国(除去文革时期),每年至少有上万种的内部杂志在流通。目前,学术界对何种机关在何时发行了何种内部杂志等基本情况缺乏掌握,所以,在史料收集和运用上存在着极大的困难。甚至,还可能导致部分学者(特别是年轻学者)误认为这类史料并不存在。特别是在日本,新一代的年轻学者在此问题上存在着认识上的盲点。然而,确认和挖掘毛泽东时代的内部杂志实非易事。最重要的原因并非是现政权的信息管制,而是内部杂志的发行状况极为混乱。即使是中共中央党校图书馆、中央档案馆也对毛泽东时代各级单位发行的各种内部杂志缺乏准确地把握。目前,(1)探访地方档案馆,(2)探访国家图书馆、省市图书馆,(3)搜索旧书市场,等3种搜寻方法似乎比较实际。 第3节主要以华北局编印的《建设》为例,探讨了内部杂志在同时代扮演的角色与生成过程。《建设》是华北局的内部机关刊物,发至县团级干部。《建设》编辑部有吴江,屈飞等人,吴江在1980年代是著名的改革智囊。《建设》一般会刊载上级机关的指示,下级机关的报告,以及全国其他地区的一些成功或失败的经验通报。可以说,《建设》在上方向、下方向、水平方向的组织内沟通中扮演着重要媒介角色。同时,华北地区还存在面向一般大众的公开杂志《华北人民》。《建设》与《华北人民》是构成内外有别的信息分流系统的典型案例,如果将两者的内容做一对比梳理,或许能发现新的问题。 第4节以《建设》为例,探讨了内部杂志的史料价值——也就是如何使用《建设》拓展新课题这一问题。实际上,当时的中下层干部对待《建设》的态度并不严谨,甚至有将《建设》当作厕纸或贴窗户的废纸来使用的案例。同时,遗失泄密的情况也比较严重。这些问题实际上是分析中共的发行工作、印刷工作、保密工作的切入点。其次,中央文件在各级别的内部杂志刊登时,其内容并不一致。下级机关的内部刊物在刊登上级机关的指示时,擅自修改、添删、曲解文件内容的问题时有发生,甚至还有自作主张不刊登上级指示的现象。这涉及文书史料的再生产问题,同时,也是观察毛泽东时代中央集权体制实际运行状态的切入点。最后,笔者通过介绍1949年刘少奇、陈伯达给萧松的信,以及开除萧松党籍的决议这3个刊登在《建设》上的奇怪文件,说明了使用内部杂志有助于发现新史实的意义。萧松(中共党员)是一个不为人知的小人物,当时在华北局治下的临清县中学担任教员。几乎没有研究文献或史料提及他的存在。但是,在中共建政前后的1949年,这个小人物曾经数次向毛泽东以及华北局上万言书。他不仅对党的各项政策(例如土地改革与供给制等)都提出了严厉批评,还直接向毛泽东提交了修改党章的草案。萧松在信中指出,中共的革命暗藏危机重重,毛有成为法国大革命之罗伯斯庇尔的可能。其后,《建设》刊登了刘少奇以及陈伯达(毛泽东秘书)批驳萧松的回信,以及将萧松开除党籍的决定。这一事件的来龙去脉完全是一个谜。但是,该事件发生在“新民主主义”、“联合政府”等开明的政治时期,实在意味深长。 第5节主要总结了使用内部杂志时注意事项。第1,由于内部杂志刊载的负面信息较多,这可能导致使用内部杂志的学者过度重视负面信息,并做出断章取义的解读。特别是在海外学界,这种倾向可能会以对革命史观的反弹形式出现。实际上,中共各级机关发行内部杂志的目的,并非是为了给后世的学者提供史料,而是为了在组织内部探讨业务,总结经验,从而改善问题。因此,内部杂志反映负面信息这一现象本身,实际上意味着中共具有较强的自我修复能力。所以,后世的学者需要从中长期的、构造性的视角来解读内部杂志,同时需要克制自身的复杂情感。第2,研究者需要意识到,机密性较高的信息一般不会刊登在内部杂志上。研究者在发现了新资料之后,往往会产生一种安心、满足的幻觉,急于判定“这就是史实”。实际上,在何种信息,以何种形式刊登在什么级别的内部杂志的问题上,中共领导人时常会有具体指示。笔者举出了镇反、三反相关的2个文件的例子,对此问题做了简单说明。其中,在某些特殊情况下,内部杂志在刊登某些中央指示时,还会将文件中的某些特定语句删除,这个问题最难被后世的学者察觉。

  • The Southbound Cadre Mobilization on the Eve of the PRC's Foundation: Comparisons between Rural and Urban Areas of Northern China
    Jun ZHOU
    This study discussed the southbound cadre (南下干部) mobilization by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Specifically, it focused on responses and psychological considerations of the to-be-mobilized cadres as well as the economic and social factors driving them to act. In 1948-1949, the CCP started to gain advantages in the Chinese Civil War, creating a need for mobilizing about 130 thousand cadres to establish its rulership in south China. Despite its victory in the battlefield, the CCP faced quite a little resistance in the mobilization campaign. In the beginning, most rural cadres and urban youths held a negative attitude towards the campaign; about 12.8% of the rural cadres had escaped. Mobilization in cities encountered less resistance because many college graduates considered this as job opportunities. Together, the motivations of cadres were rather complicated in both urban and rural areas, which could not be simply explained by political ideology.

  • Japanese Navy's Strategy on The Battle of Hainan Island : Advancing South or Fighting Against Britain?
    Jun ZHOU
    On February 10th, 1939, in the name of cutting the supply channel from Hanoi and Myanmar to Chiang Kai-shek,the Japanese navy attacked Hainan Island(海南岛), which was denounced by. Chiang Kai-shek as “The Mukden Incident in Pacific Ocean”. Nevertheless, from the perspective of Japanese Navy, the attack on Hainan Island was highly related to Britain. Therefore, instead of treating it as a part of South Advancing Strategy, the Japanese Navy attached its importance to the crucial part of the strategy to fighting against Britain. However, the decision making procedure on the battle of Hainan Island, which was dominated by Japanese navy, did not proceed smoothly. It was, on one hand, influenced by the international situation, on the other, restricted by the pressures from Japanese Army and Foreign Ministry. Though some progress had been made when Japanese Navy resisted both pressures, the decision making procedure remained highly uncertain. In the end, with the ongoing Ugaki-Craigie Talk which symbolized the reorganization of international order in East Asia, the Japanese Navy took a tough stand against the Japanese Army and Foreign Ministry, who suggested to compromise with Britain. They pushed forward the attack on Hainan Island and gained a stronghold to fight Britain. Therefore, it can be seen that, Japanese Navy, Japanese Army and the Foreign Ministry had never reached consensus on their foreign strategy, and the attack on Hainan Island was the result of this confusion or dissensus. The so-called “Southern Expansion Doctrine” was actually resulted from the uncertainty of Japan’s foreign strategy rather than preplanned by Japanese Navy.
