Eighty years ago today, on August 13, 1945 (July 6, 1945 in the lunar calendar), Mao Zedong put forward his policy towards Chiang after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. On August 13, Mao Zedong gave a speech on "The Situation After the Victory of the Anti-Japanese War and Our Policy" at the Yan'an Cadre Conference of the Communist Party of China. Mao pointed out: On the one hand, we must try our best to strive for peace and democracy, limit the civil war to a local scope, or delay the outbreak of a full-scale civil war; on the other hand, we must have a full understanding of Chiang Kai-shek's conspiracy to launch a civil war, have no illusions about imperialism and reactionaries, and are not afraid of threats. We are ready to defeat all Chinese and foreign reactionaries in a patriotic and just revolutionary war, and establish a new democratic New China led by the proletariat. Mao Zedong clearly pointed out: Chiang Kai-shek will seize power and Our policy is tit for tat, fight for every inch of land.
