• 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 and Decision-making in China (1949-1955): Historical Analysis and Geographic Information Systems Visualization

  Jun ZHOU

  Broadly recognized as a research focus, local inspections by central leaders of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) are a key perspective for understanding Chinese politics. Although previous research has extensively examined local inspections and investigations carried out by CCP leaders, little attention has been given to their cyclical movements or the informational environment during these inspections. Therefore, this paper employs a historical approach combined with visualization techniques, utilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS), to analyze the spatial features, behavioral patterns, actual activities, and significance of inspections by central leaders, such as Mao Zedong, within the policymaking process. First, this paper's GIS-based analysis reveals a clear spatial bias in the inspection destinations of 35 leaders, including Mao Zedong, whose visits were primarily focused on urban areas in Northeast, North, and East China, which are connected by railways. In the author’s view, leaders rarely inspect rural areas not linked by rail networks due to concerns about transportation and public security. While there are differences in the behavioral patterns of individual leaders, these variations are believed to result from factors such as their specific responsibilities, personal will, and health conditions. Moreover, although inspections sometimes served a propaganda function by being transformed into promotional materials for both domestic and international audiences, their functional purpose appears to have been information gathering. However, this function was frequently hindered by spatial “barriers” (the uneven distribution of inspection sites due to transportation difficulties and security concerns) and bureaucratic “barriers” (the inability to hear authentic grassroots voices due to staged performances and rigid security protocols). Even Mao Zedong, as a “special figure,” was no exception. Finally, this paper argues that inspections were less about objectively understanding grassroots realities and more about Mao Zedong using them to legitimize his authority. This is examined through the 1955 agricultural cooperation issue, which had a profound impact on Chinese politics during his era. It reflects Mao’s political tactics: using inspection tours to establish interpretive authority over China's “actual conditions” and take control of policymaking.

• The Eternal Secretism: Origin and Substance of the Secrecy System in Contemporary China

  Jun ZHOU

  Certain organizational principles of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have remained unchanged for a century since its founding. One such principle is secretism, which has consistently been a foundation of the Party’s organizational activities. Although most China scholars share an intuitive understanding of the ambiguity and scope of what qualifies as a “state secret” under the current regime, little is known about the internal aspects of the Party’s secrecy system—its institutional roots and practical implementation—due to limited access to archival sources and political restrictions. This paper, therefore, traces back to the period around the founding of the People's Republic of China (1940s to 1960s) to clarify the institutional origins and historical development of the Communist Party's secretism (保密工作) , with particular focus on espionage activities carried out by the United States and the Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang) against China. During the intensifying Cold War rivalry between East and West, the CCP, which was trying to navigate the new regime, developed a comprehensive secrecy system based on heightened vigilance. However, the vague definition of “state secrets” created contradictions within the system. This resulted in seemingly contradictory phenomena: Chinese society was saturated with tension, yet incidents of secret leaks occurred frequently across the country. Additionally, the Communist Party, confused by the mix of truth and falsehood in the intelligence war, overestimated the abilities of American and other spy operations. As a result, a disconnect emerged: although American and Kuomintang intelligence agencies employed various methods and failed to obtain Communist Party secret documents, the Communist Party maintained an excessive secrecy system, resulting in unstoppable leaks stemming from misunderstandings and misjudgments.Recognizing the harmful effects of this irrational secrecy system, the Communist Party leadership, including Mao Zedong, attempted to implement reforms. However, from the founding of the People’s Republic of China to the present, the broad definition of “state secrets” that includes “other matters...” has never been removed. 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.

• The “Blood Vessels” of the Chinese Communist Party: A Historical Investigation of the Party’s Confidential Communication System

  Jun ZHOU

  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.

• The CCP's "Blood Vessels": Dangnei Jiaotong

  Jun ZHOU

  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。

• The Ears and Eyes of the Chinese Communist Party: An Analysis of the Origin, Structure and Function of the Neibu Cankao (1949–1954)

  Jun ZHOU

  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. Although this framework of information control may closely resemble the Soviet Union at first glance, the NC did not directly originate from the Soviet Union. Rather, it was likely an innovative institutional experiment, drawing on the wartime Nationalist government (Kuomintang)’s information-gathering practices, which combined journalism with intelligence functions. 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. As a publication authorized to reveal the Party’s concealed or politically inconvenient realities, NC embodied a form of “pseudo press freedom” that proved essential for maintaining one-party rule. However, positioned between the Central Committee and provincial Party organs, the autonomy in gathering information faced dual constraints due to censorship, which imposed inherent limitations. Notably, even during the Great Leap Forward, the function of internal references to convey negative information persisted, albeit diminished. This also implies that the root of the problem lay not in the information, but in the cognitive framework through which leaders selected and interpreted it.

• Material Utilization and Issues in the Chinese Communist Party History Studies: In the Case of Internal Periodicals

  Jun ZHOU

  This paper is a study of archival materials that examines the origins, historical value, and methods for collecting and utilizing internal journals of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which serve as media for upward, downward, and horizontal information flow within the Party organization, ensuring its organizational functioning and internal communication. From the Party's founding in the 1920s to the present day, the broad Chinese Communist Party organization—encompassing the Party, government, military, and mass organizations—has consistently published a range of internal journals. These internal publications serve as documents equivalent to confidential materials and are completely different from official media like People’s Daily, which are aimed at the public to promote ideology and Party policies. Instead, they contain a wealth of information that reflects the Party’s true perceptions and judgments, policy errors, and actual social conditions. Therefore, to break through confidentiality barriers and push CCP history research to a new level, it is crucial to overcome the challenges of collecting and utilizing these internal journals. Therefore, this paper first traced the history of collecting and utilizing CCP internal journals in Japan and confirmed the research achievements. Experts like Hatano Kenichi dedicated themselves to collecting and organizing internal journals even before the war. However, as the Chinese Communist Party regime established its governing foundation after 1949 and built a comprehensive secrecy system, discussions surrounding internal journals rapidly declined in postwar Japan, despite numerous collections of materials related to the Chinese Communist Party being translated and published. Currently, with even basic questions like which internal journals were issued after 1949 still unclear, there is concern that the new generation of researchers might mistakenly see unpublished materials as “nonexistent.” Next, this paper examined the current state of databases, including internal journals, holdings of both domestic and international institutions, catalogs of various internal publications, and available collection methods. It then retrieved Jianshe, published by the CCP North China Bureau, from the database of the Compilation of Important Historical Documents of the CCP at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the Masuzawa Akio Collection preserved at the Institute for Research in Humanities, Kyoto University. The focus was on exploring its formation process, its significance as a historical source, and the potential for opening new research avenues. Notably, what makes internal journals like Jianshe noteworthy is that they contain a large amount of previously unknown, valuable materials, including unpublished articles, letters, and comments by CCP leaders. Finally, from the perspective of overall CCP history research, this paper highlights key considerations for using internal journals and warns that valuable historical materials do not always lead to reliable research. If researchers become fixated solely on the negative aspects documented in internal journals as a reaction against the traditional Communist Party-style view of revolutionary history, they risk losing perspective and falling into a distorted or conspiracy-minded view of history. Additionally, as Jianshe's example demonstrates, the content of internal journals may have been subtly altered during editing or dissemination for political reasons; therefore, even so-called “confidential” internal CCP materials need to be examined with careful historical critique. Practically, collecting and using internal journals could violate China’s vaguely defined laws on espionage or leaking state secrets, requiring researchers to navigate the space between academia and politics with teamwork and flexibility. 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.

• Book Talk, The Nerves of Chinese Communist Party

  Jun ZHOU

  Q1 Why did you initially become interested in the Chinese Communist Party's information system? Additionally, could you tell us about the primary issues this book addresses? (Zhou) My interest in the Chinese Communist Party’s information system began with archival research at various official archives and libraries across China. From 2014 to 2017, I traveled throughout mainland China to overcome secrecy barriers by any means necessary and carefully hand-copied internal Party documents into my own notebooks at numerous historical archives. Initially, I focused on the purges of local political elites during the Mao era, justified by claims of opposing “localism.” However, as I examined various original Party documents, new questions arose. Aware of potential risks, I confidently decided to change my research focus. For example, were these large volumes of documents read by Mao Zedong and his contemporaries? If so, how were they delivered, and how did they read them? In a vast country like China, how did Party leaders in Zhongnanhai, Beijing, understand the situation nationwide? Did the familiar story—where those around a dictator secretly hide inconvenient truths, turning him into a “naked king” flattered by sycophants—also happen under Communist Party rule? These questions became the starting point for this book. Ultimately, the main goal of this work is to analyze the CCP’s collection, management, transmission, and use of information as a unified system, revealing its overall structure through a focus on institutional, human, and ideological elements. Q2. What were the main challenges you encountered while writing this book, and how did you overcome them? (Zhou) Because the Chinese Communist Party is very sensitive and secretive about managing information, gathering research materials is a major challenge, and there is also a psychological burden due to the risk of unforeseen political consequences. In this context, Chapter 1 of the book discusses the Party’s secrecy system, which supports its information control. During the Cold War, despite various efforts by the United States and the Chinese Nationalist Party (which had moved to Taiwan), gaining access to internal CCP documents was extremely difficult. Still, the CCP maintained a very strict counter-espionage system, driven by an almost irrational fear. Ironically, the broad and vague definition of state secrets led to unintended consequences: many Party documents were discarded as trash or sold as scrap paper. Later, as China implemented reform and opening-up policies, and with the end of the Cold War, human exchanges increased. As a result, scholars gained access to leaked documents that had slipped through the cracks of information control. The fact that I was able to use Internal Reference Materials (held at the Chinese University of Hong Kong), Compilation of Important Historical Documents of the CCP (held at UCLA), and documents that had surfaced on China’s antiquarian book market reflects this background. Gathering materials requires perseverance and mobility, but even more important is the ability to sense where certain materials might be found. Developing this kind of instinct begins with source criticism: analyzing the provenance of materials, the interests involved, and the systems for preservation and management. (Editor’s note: The results of Zhou Jun’s archival work can also be viewed in open access in Catalog of Historical Materials of Modern China: Internal Journals from the Mao Era.) Q3: The title 'The Nerves of the Chinese Communist Party' is very eye-catching. Where did you get the inspiration for it? (Zhou) Even for an academic book, the title is a crucial element. The anthropomorphic depiction of the “nerves” used in this book was inspired by the work of American political scientist Karl W. Deutsch, as I believe his theoretical framework could be applied to the CCP’s information system. Deutsch’s classic work, published in 1963, examines the importance of information in political systems. In the original English title, he uses the phrase "The Nerves of Government" (the Japanese translation is titled "The Political Theory of Cybernetics"). Although this book has not yet been translated into Chinese, Professor Tang Liang of Waseda University published a Chinese-language article about it in the 1980s. When I was a master’s student, I took Professor Tang’s class, and while exploring his research, I read both that review article and Deutsch’s book. The phrase "The Nerves of Government" left a particularly strong impression on me at the time. Later, as I continued reading various sources, I found that the CCP itself described its internal information transmission work, which handles communication within the organization, as the blood vessels of the Party. This reminded me of Deutsch’s book, and I thought that if we imagine information transmission and processing as functions of a biological organ, the nerves might be more appropriate than blood vessels. That’s why I chose the current title. Interestingly, in the early years of China’s Reform and Opening Up, cybernetics—the core theoretical foundation of Deutsch’s book—as well as Claude Shannon’s information theory, were very popular. It’s notable that Li Keqiang, the former Chinese premier, wrote a paper in 1980 when he was a third-year law student at Peking University, titled “Legal and Social Systems, Information and Control” (Fazhi jiqi yu shehui xitong, xinxi ji kongzhi), in which he drew on these theories. It's interesting that China's premier seriously contemplated the relationship between politics and information during his student days. Q4 Regarding this, which previous studies and research methods did you especially draw from? (Zhou) Even from a global perspective, systematic and empirical research on this topic remains extremely limited, so I lacked specific prior studies to reference. Martin K. Dimitrov’s "Dictatorship and Information" is an excellent work, and his research overlaps with mine; however, by the time his book was published in 2023, my manuscript had already been completed. Fortunately, Dimitrov adopts a comparative politics approach, whereas my book takes a historical perspective, resulting in significant differences in overall structure. For instance, Dimitrov’s book compares information systems in socialist states, such as China, the Soviet Union, and Bulgaria, with a strong emphasis on the role of the secret police. In contrast, my focus is solely on China, providing an in-depth analysis of the origins, historical development, and practical functions of the CCP’s information system. Moreover, while my book dedicates chapters to topics such as the secrecy system, secret communication networks, gathering through local inspections by Party leaders, and the use of information in policymaking, Dimitrov’s work does not address these issues at all. Regarding research ideas and methodology, I have been strongly influenced by Professor Ishikawa Yoshihiro of Kyoto University, Professor Takahashi Nobuo of Keio University, and Professor Yang Kuisong of East China Normal University. In traditional historical studies, power and wealth are typically the primary focus, but in recent decades, social history, mentalities, and memory studies have gained increasing popularity. However, information—more transparent than air—is often overlooked and rarely studied as an essential research topic. Still, all three leading scholars of CCP history have published works on how information circulated before 1949 during the revolutionary period and its impact on the CCP’s political actions. Their work has taught me to pay close attention to the subtle question of what kind of information environment surrounds the events we examine, which has been incredibly enlightening. Additionally, when analyzing CCP primary and secondary sources filled with ideological rhetoric, it’s crucial to read between the lines with sharp insight. These scholars have served as role models in mastering the important skill of reading beyond text. If I may add one more point, I personally prefer classic works by scholars born before the war, such as Ishikawa Tadashi, Eto Shinkichi, and Takeuchi Minoru, over the most recent studies. While these earlier works may have issues today with sources or empirical rigor, their sharp writing still impresses. Q5 Your book includes chapters that deal with sources that are very difficult to access, such as Neibu Cankao, as well as chapters that employ innovative methods such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Why did you choose to adopt such diverse approaches? (Zhou) This book, which focuses on the period from the late 1940s to the 1960s—around the founding of the People’s Republic —constitutes an empirical study in the fields of CCP history, modern Chinese history, and Chinese political history; therefore, it employs a basic method to thoroughly collect and analyze documentary sources. However, to avoid the pitfall of explaining nationwide phenomena based on isolated cases, this book extracted meaningful quantitative data from fragmented historical materials and then converted and visualized them. Regarding the visualization method, in other words, GIS has traditionally been used in fields such as geography, architecture, and environmental science. However, it has rarely been applied in historical or political research. In Chapter 6 of this book, GIS proved extremely useful in mapping and analyzing the spatial characteristics of the routes taken by CCP leaders during local inspection tours. As far as I know, while many secondary sources document what a leader said during inspection tours, such as when, with whom, and under what circumstances, there are almost no reliable primary sources. Recognizing the limitations of discourse analysis, which is commonly used in political history, I started to consider whether detailed chronological records of leaders’ movements might serve as valuable sources. However, for a long time, I couldn't develop a concrete method. The idea of using GIS came about by chance when I attended a research seminar where Professor Nakamura Motoya of the University of Tokyo briefly mentioned that “GIS makes it possible to visualize spatial information on maps.” At that moment, I thought: “This is it!” In a sense, research is often the result of serendipity. Q6 To be honest, decision-making within the Chinese Communist Party is often seen as a black box that's very hard to understand from the outside. Did your findings lead you to a different conclusion from this common perception? (Zhou) Whether in the past or present, the decision-making process of the CCP remains a black box. However, when focusing on the Mao era, we can partially reconstruct it by carefully analyzing a wide range of sources, including party documents at various levels, collections of leaders’ speeches, diaries, letters, chronologies, and memoirs. The biggest challenge is asking the question of “why.” For example, as shown in this book, despite evidence from grassroots sources being communicated to the Party leadership early on through multiple channels, and despite receiving information that agricultural cooperation had failed in the Soviet Union and caused a sharp decline in production, why did Mao and other leaders still choose the path toward the Great Leap Forward in the late 1950s, which resulted in tens of millions of starvation deaths? It was not because Mao and the leadership were misled by flattery that fostered optimistic illusions. On the contrary, they had accurate information but selectively accepted or rejected it based on their preconceptions, making irrational decisions on their own. In other words, the logic of “The Emperor’s New Clothes” simply does not apply here. To understand this self-destructive pattern, we need to clarify the worldview and cognitive biases that influence how people select and interpret information. In other words, the challenge isn't understanding the decision-making process but grasping the mindset of the decision-makers. Q7: Since publishing this book, what projects or research themes have you been working on? (Zhou) This might be a minor spoiler, but I am planning a trilogy of studies on the history of information. The first volume is this book. The second will focus on public health, particularly information systems related to infectious diseases. As for the third volume, I prefer to keep its theme confidential for now. Currently, with support from a JSPS research grant, I am working on the second volume. Specifically, using the U.S. Army’s alleged bacteriological warfare during the Korean War as a starting point, I aim to clarify when, why, and how modern China’s system for gathering information on infectious diseases was established. During the Mao era—when transportation infrastructure was not yet fully developed—how did the Party manage to collect information on outbreaks even in remote rural areas across China? What kinds of organizations and personnel were involved? What knowledge and standards did they rely on? I find these questions both intriguing and fascinating. Q8 Finally, do you have a message for the readers of this article, especially those interested in China who are university or graduate students? (Zhou) The story of the Chinese Communist Party and modern China is one where hope and despair are closely linked, forming a tragic core. Reflecting on key moments in history and the struggle of that time helps us understand the mindset of the people involved, essentially reconstructing how they thought. I believe this can help us approach current issues from different and complex viewpoints. Also, since the Party still operates within a highly secretive system and historical research in China is strictly controlled, this field remains full of many untapped and tempting hidden territories. If you stay curious, adopt an adventurous spirit, and keep working hard, you'll someday be able to create truly original work despite the challenges. Young scholars often tend to accept established theories without question or choose safe, manageable research topics driven by short-term gains. However, once the research process begins, it’s hard to change direction. Listen carefully to your true inner voice and choose a path you won't regret for a lifetime. (Editorial Note) Thank you very much, Mr. Jun Zhou. For readers interested in understanding how the Chinese Communist Party’s information system operates, we highly recommend reading The Nerves of the Chinese Communist Party.

• Chairman Mao Traveled All over the Country: Historical Analysis and Geographic Information Systems Visualization

  Jun ZHOU

  Local inspections (difang shicha, also known as diaocha yanjiu) used to be a significant channel for Chinese central leaders, including Mao Zedong, to gain first-hand information about local situations. Using historical methodology and geographic information system (GIS) visualization analysis, this article examines the inspections conducted by 35 central leaders between 1949 and 1955 in terms of the geographical distribution of inspection sites, the pattern of travel of the leaders, and their information environment. The results of GIS visualization show that 35 leaders visited mainly large cities with populations of more than 500,000 along the railway within Northeastern China, Northern China, and Eastern China. This study argues that insufficient transportation facilities and uncertain public security circumstances limited leaders’ tour choices. Meanwhile, due to local impediments, such as cover-ups, fraud, and staged performances, it was difficult for central leaders to understand the reality of the local situation. Mao Zedong, who had enormous power, was no exception to this. This study further demonstrates that leaders expected local inspections to bring about policy success in Mao’s era. However, these inspections led to misjudgments and policy mistakes by Mao regarding agricultural collectivization and laid the groundwork for the Great Leap Forward of 1958.

• Reviving the History of 20th Century China by Reviewing Source Materials 20世纪中国史研究的资料复原 （open access）

  Jun ZHOU

  Contributor, Encyclopedia of Agricultural Cooperation: Birth and Death of “Socialist upsurge in China’ s countryside” 农业合作化的百科全书：《中国农村的社会主义高潮》的编纂、发行、评价, Kyoto University, Institute for Research in Humanities, Jul. 2024, 57-92, Japanese, This paper examines the compilation process, domestic and international publication history, and evaluation of the agricultural cooperation-related collection of materials titled Zhongguo Nongcun de Shehuizhuyi Gaochao (Socialist spsurge in China’s countryside), hereafter abbreviated as Gaochao, edited by Mao Zedong, the supreme leader of the Chinese Communist Party, in 1955. The collection includes his preface and 104 commentaries. In modern China, Gaochao sold about ten million copies and has been called an “encyclopedia of agricultural cooperation.” Its compilation was a major event in Chinese history, and the collection itself has significant documentary value. As a result, extensive research has been done on the topic. However, previous studies are filled with factual errors and have largely ignored issues like textual manipulation, editorial interference, and the reliability of the materials included in the volume. Using primary sources, including drafts of Gaochao found in the Toyo Bunko Library, this study reconstructs the compilation process and examines Mao’s editorial intentions, as well as the text's origin, structure, and changes. The findings reveal that Mao repeatedly revised the manuscript to support his own subjective assumptions. Through this iterative process of selective data gathering and textual editing, he began to believe—partly by mistaking the book’s ideologically filtered materials for actual facts—that a “socialist upsurge” was genuinely sweeping through China’s countryside. This mistaken belief later formed the conceptual foundation for the Great Leap Forward, a policy that resulted in the deaths of tens of millions. This overturns the conventional view that Mao launched the Great Leap Forward in 1958 to pursue a uniquely Chinese development model amid deteriorating relations with the US and the Soviet Union. Instead, it offers a new interpretation: the concept for the Great Leap Forward was already conceived in 1955 during the compilation of Gaochao—in other words, it was born within the world of rule by document. Furthermore, whereas previous research neglected Gaochao's publication status, this paper departs from the “single-party historical perspective” and the “single-nation historical perspective.” It traces the complex publication history not only of the various minority-language editions issued within China and the mini-editions published during the Cultural Revolution, but also of the Russian, Japanese, and English editions published abroad. This paper reveals that the publication status of various editions of Gaochao differed significantly by region, language, and period. Evaluations of Gaochao followed a similar pattern. By examining Soviet, Japanese, and Anglophone scholarly materials, this study investigates how editions of Gaochao were read, interpreted, and utilized over time, and how their meanings evolved across various political contexts. While academic interest in the Soviet Union and Japan in introducing, translating, and evaluating Gaochao largely vanished after the 1950s, the book’s prominence in China also declined amid shifting ideological tides. Nonetheless, in post-Mao China, Mao’s often-quoted commentary from Gaochao— “Political work is the lifeline of all economic work”—has been repeatedly invoked by successive Party leaders, from Deng Xiaoping onward. In this sense, Gaochao remains a condensed ideological artifact within China’s political discourse, maintaining its symbolic significance to the present day.

• The Nerves of Chinese Communist Party: the Origin, Structure and Function of the lnformation System（中国共产党的神经：信息系统的起源）

  Jun ZHOU

  Single work, The University of Nagoya Press, Jun. 2024, Japanese, Situating its analysis within the broader international context of the twentieth-century communist movement and the Cold War between the East and West, this book systematically and empirically examines the origin, structure, and function of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s largely overlooked information system. It draws on a wide range of primary and secondary sources from mainland China, the Soviet Union, the United States, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and other places. At its core, the book aims to empirically demonstrate how, during the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the CCP gathered and processed the information needed for governance and policymaking to grasp the state of national affairs. Additionally, by introducing a new perspective on information and cognition, it seeks to revitalize the field of political history, which has mainly focused on power and wealth, and to promote a shift in research approaches. The modern world has long been called an information society. However, studies on the history of the CCP, despite extensive specialization and many works in English, Japanese, and Chinese, have paid little systematic empirical attention to the Party’s internal information system. In contrast, this book tackles this topic—arguably one of the most obscure subjects—by carefully collecting seemingly unrelated materials one by one, offering a new historical perspective on the CCP through the lens of information. Specifically, Chapter 1 focuses on the struggle between the United States and other intelligence agencies, as well as the Chinese Communist Party's secrecy system, clarifying the environment surrounding the Party's information infrastructure. Chapters 2 through 6 detail the historical development, institutional structure, and operational realities of the secret communication networks and various information channels that support the information system, while discussing the influence of Soviet political ideology. Chapter 7 uses the policymaking process of the Great Leap Forward—an event responsible for the deaths of tens of millions—as a case study to analyze when and how the Party leadership acquired governance-related information and how this information affected policy decisions. Methodologically, the study not only thoroughly collects and interprets available archival materials but also creatively incorporates Geographic Information System (GIS) spatial analysis to visualize and interpret information flows. Furthermore, political science has traditionally viewed dictatorships as closed systems, where rulers, due to their oppressive rule, often struggle to access accurate information. To challenge this “emperor's new clothes” view of dictators, this book presents a new interpretation: the main issue is not the absence of accurate information but Mao Zedong's cognitive biases—his tendency to rely only on convenient information even when correct data is available—and the knowledge system behind his choice of information. It then broadens its scope to a universal question that transcends eras and state systems: how political actors face the challenge of information and cognitive bias. In summary, this book not only fundamentally reshapes our understanding of modern Chinese political structure but also introduces a new paradigm shift in traditional political history research by presenting the dual perspectives of information and cognition, thereby opening new horizons.

  研究代表者の石川をはじめ、本研究プロジェクトの構成員たちは4年ほど前から、共同の研究グループを独自に組織し、資料の収集と編纂にかんする研究会を定期的に開催し、この研究プロジェクトを助走活動としてきたが、本年度それがある程度のまとまりを持ち、本研究プロジェクト自体へのステップアップのための一定の素材・試行モデルを提供できる水準になったと判断し、中国共産党における資料生成を分析する論考などを含む、第一段階の報告書（集団的、集中的討論のためのたたき台）を作成すべく集中的に議論を重ねた。これと並行して本研究プロジェクトのメンバーをコアとする、より広範な関心を持つ大学内外の若手研究者を集め、隔週平日開催の学術会合を定期開催した。その開催回数は年間で16回を数え、歴代の中国の政治指導者がどのような理念と圧力・暴力によってその政治的な地位を高めてきたのかといった極めて露骨な問いをたて、中国共産党における「歴史」との関わりに目を向ける視点を確立することに努めた。 この間、懸念した中国本土での情報統制は厳しさをまし、中国由来の資料が我々の予想を遙かに超えて秘匿されるようになった。このため、若干はあてにした中国やそれをとりまく地域での原資料の収集という構想は再検討を余儀なくされ、これに代わる資料源の開拓は不可避となった。資料源の開拓というミッションは研究資金の関係から今年度には具体的に進展をみるまでには至らなかったが、先に掲げた研究報告・資料素材集である「20世紀中国史の資料的復元」のとりまとめを通じて、中国共産党における「秘書」「書記」「ブレーン」の存在に注意を向けなければならないことが一致して認識された。
