Qiúshì Magazine

The Theoretical Journal of the so-called Communist Party of China in the Capitalist Era



      After Mao Zedong’s death in September 1976, the capitalist roaders in China seized power. They immediately transformed the existing Chinese-language theoretical journal of the CCP, Hóngqí [Red Flag], into a totally revisionist magazine. However, in July 1988 they replaced that journal with a new, even more blatantly pro-capitalist magazine, Qiúshì, which absurdly means “Seeking Truth”.

      On this page we are providing English translations of some of the early issues of Qiúshì, mostly from the late 1980s and early 1990s, which were translated by the Joint Publications Research Service (JPRS) of the United States government. We are providing them for reasons of historical research, and in hopes that real Marxist revolutionaries will be able to learn from their totally negative example.

      Note that in some cases, only part of the issue of Qiúshì is translated. In other cases, some translated articles were issued separately by the JPRS in different publications, and do not appear in these issue translations. This information is noted on the index pages.

      English translations of the predecessor journal, Hóngqí [Red Flag], during the revisionist era of 1977-1988 are available on BannedThought.net at: https://www.bannedthought.net/China/Magazines/Hongqi-Revisionist/index.htm

      And Chinese-language as well as English translations of Hóngqí [Red Flag] during the Maoist (Socialist) Era (1958-1976) are available on BannedThought.net at: https://www.bannedthought.net/China/Magazines/Hongqi/index.htm

      If you have any additional issues of Qiúshì in digital form, especially in English translation, please contact us at: freespeech@bannedthought.net
