The Third Plenary Session of the Seventh CPC Central Committee

During June 6-9, 1950, the Seventh Central Committee held its third plenary session in Beijing, tasked to formulate guidelines and policies to turn around the financial and economic situation. Attending the session were 36 members and 27 alternate members, in addition to 43 officials or staff of the provincial-level Party committees and central departments and ministries attending as non-voting observers.

The session set the main strategy for economic recovery and adopted policies and guidelines for all fields. Mao Zedong presided over the opening of the session and delivered a written report entitled "Fight for a Fundamental Turn for the Better in the Nation's Financial and Economic Situation" and an oral speech "Don't Hit Out in All Directions." Reports were delivered by Liu Shaoqi on land reform, by Chen Yun on finance and the economy, by Zhou Enlai on foreign affairs and the united front, and by Nie Rongzhen on the restructuring of the PLA.

This session mainly discussed issues related to finance, land reform, the military and Party rectification, and determined the Party's work focus, basic policies and principles. Mao pointed out that a fundamental upturn would take about three years and depend on three preconditions – completion of land reform, appropriate readjustment of industry and commerce, and a massive reduction in the funds required by state organizations. He emphasized that the current priorities should be land reform, eliminating remnant KMT forces, secret agents and bandits, and overthrowing the landlord class. The meeting refuted erroneous ideas about eliminating capitalism and realizing socialism at an early date.

This was an important meeting in the early period of the People's Republic. It offered guidance for consolidating and developing the revolutionary programs of the Party and the people, overcoming financial difficulties, reviving the economy, and completing the transition from new democracy to socialism.

中共七屆三中全會(huì)

為制定爭(zhēng)取國(guó)家財(cái)政經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況根本好轉(zhuǎn)的策略方針，1950年6月6日至9日，中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨第七屆中央委員會(huì)第三次全體會(huì)議在北京舉行。出席這次全會(huì)的有中央委員36人、候補(bǔ)中央委員27人。各省市黨委、中央各部委負(fù)責(zé)人及有關(guān)工作人員等43人列席會(huì)議。

會(huì)議的主要議題是確定黨在國(guó)民經(jīng)濟(jì)恢復(fù)時(shí)期的主要任務(wù)，以及為此必須進(jìn)行的各項(xiàng)工作和所應(yīng)采取的戰(zhàn)略策略方針。毛澤東主持會(huì)議、致開(kāi)幕詞，并在會(huì)上作了《為爭(zhēng)取國(guó)家財(cái)政經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況的基本好轉(zhuǎn)而斗爭(zhēng)》的書面報(bào)告和《不要四面出擊》的重要講話。劉少奇作了《關(guān)于土地改革問(wèn)題的報(bào)告》，陳云作了《關(guān)于財(cái)政經(jīng)濟(jì)工作的報(bào)告》，周恩來(lái)作了《關(guān)于外交工作與統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線工作的報(bào)告》，聶榮臻作了《關(guān)于人民解放軍整編問(wèn)題的報(bào)告》。

這次會(huì)議主要討論了財(cái)政、土改、軍事和整黨等問(wèn)題，確定了黨在新形勢(shì)下的工作重心、基本政策和采取的策略方針。毛澤東在報(bào)告中指出，實(shí)現(xiàn)中國(guó)財(cái)經(jīng)狀況的根本好轉(zhuǎn)，要用3年左右時(shí)間，創(chuàng)造三個(gè)條件，即土地改革的完成、現(xiàn)有工商業(yè)的合理調(diào)整、國(guó)家機(jī)構(gòu)所需經(jīng)費(fèi)的大量節(jié)減。毛澤東強(qiáng)調(diào)當(dāng)前的主要任務(wù)是進(jìn)行土改，肅清國(guó)民黨殘余、特務(wù)、土匪，推翻地主階級(jí)。會(huì)議明確反對(duì)企圖提早消滅資本主義實(shí)行社會(huì)主義的錯(cuò)誤思想。

中共七屆三中全會(huì)是新中國(guó)成立初期中共中央召開(kāi)的一次十分重要的會(huì)議，對(duì)于鞏固和發(fā)展黨和人民的革命事業(yè)，迅速戰(zhàn)勝財(cái)政經(jīng)濟(jì)困難，恢復(fù)和發(fā)展國(guó)民經(jīng)濟(jì)，有步驟地實(shí)現(xiàn)由新民主主義向社會(huì)主義的過(guò)渡，具有重大指導(dǎo)意義。
