Section A
Answer Question 01.
Source A
From a confidential Soviet record of a meeting between Stalin and Chinese Communist
Party leaders, Moscow, 27 June 1949. Xinjiang was an independent region within north
west China.
Liu Shaoqi handed Stalin a letter from Mao Zedong, which thanked Stalin for the
enormous aid given to China by the USSR.
Stalin said that the USSR had decided to provide China with a further loan of 300 million
dollars. The loan will be provided in the form of equipment, machines and various kinds
of materials and goods. 5
Stalin said that China should not put off the occupation of Xinjiang because a delay might
lead to Western interference in Xinjiang’s affairs. There are large deposits of oil and
cotton there, which China needs badly. After taking Xinjiang the Chinese population
there should be increased by resettlement in order to develop this huge and rich region
and strengthen China’s borders.

From a written report to the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, by Mao
Zedong, 6 June 1950.
China is vast and conditions are complex; the revolution triumphed first in certain areas
and only later throughout the country. In the old liberated areas, agrarian reform is
completed, public order established, work of economic construction has started on the
right track, and the life of most working people has improved. On the other hand, in the
new liberated areas, more than 400 000 bandits scattered in remote regions have yet to be
5
wiped out, the land problem has not been solved, unemployment remains serious and
public order has not been established. The whole Party and nation must strive to bring
about improvement. I believe, and so do you all, that we can surely do this in about three
years.
