On the Paper of War of Resistance Against Japan and the Propaganda of Mao Zedong Thought on Protracted War

Abstract

Soon after the outbreak of the anti-Japanese War, Mao Zedong gave a clear judgement on the whole situation during the war and proposed the famous Protracted War thought in his paper On Protracted War. As the flag of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei anti-Japanese base and North China, the Paper of War of Resistance Against Japan is the main medium for the Communist Part of China to propagate the anti-Japanese thoughts and policies, having a significant impact on the history of anti-Japanese and the history of propaganda. The paper made great contribution to propagate Mao Zedong thought on Protracted War.
