The preservation of the Communist Party's leadership over the Special Region and in the Red Army, and the preservation of the Communist Party's independence and freedom of criticism in its relations with the Kuomintang--these are the limits beyond which it is impermissible to go. Concessions mean concessions by both parties: the Kuomintang abandons the policy of civil war, dictatorship and non-resistance to the foreign foe, and the Communist Party abandons the policy of maintaining antagonism between the two regimes.
Preservar la dirección del Partido Comunista sobre la Región Especial y sobre el Ejército Rojo y mantener la independencia y la libertad de crítica del Partido en sus relaciones con el Kuomintang -- tales son los límites, que no se permite traspasar.
