Leon
Trotsky: Letter to the Secretariat of the Central Committee
May
18, 1927
[Leon
Trotsky on China,
New York 1976, p. 215. I tried to use the Pīnyīn
spelling of Chinese names. I use the spelling from the original text
in a hyperlink, if it differs significantly]
1.
My request of May 11 of this year that the Secretariat of the Central
Committee indicate where and when I would be able to familiarize
myself with the Politburo’s decision on the Chinese question after
what has transpired over the past two months has remained unanswered.
2.
My request of May 11 of this year that Comrade Bukharin’s draft
theses on the Chinese question be made known in time for the
amendments to be introduced has remained unanswered.
3.
In view of the fact that Comrade Bukharin’s theses basically repeat
all the mistakes of Comrade Stalin’s theses, I am forwarding to the
Executive Committee of the Comintern my theses on the basic questions
of the Chinese revolution in connection with criticism of Comrade
Stalin’s theses.
