ON THE ONE HAND, THE NIXON ADMINISTRATION STATED IT WOULD NOT

CIPHER, THE AMERICANS HAVE ALSO RUSHED IN MORE THAN 10,000

wVERISHLY IN THE Q.I.S.-THIE'!1 CLIQUE'S PRISONS. THE AMERICANS
THEMSELVES HAVE SUPPORTED AND ENCOIJRAGE THIEr1 AND GIVEN HIM
THE GREEN LIGHT TO TRY BY EVERY MEANS POSSIBLE TO WEAKEN ALL
THE REVOLUTIONARY FORCES AND ALL PATRIOTIC POLITICAL FORCES
APPROVING PEACE AND NATIONAL CONCORD IN THE SOUTH.
ALL PAST ACTIONS OF THE AMERICANS AND THIEU PROVE THAT
THEY ARE STRIVIN3 TO SABOTAGE AND VIOLATE WHAT WAS 43REED ON9
C!ECISELY WHEN THE AGREEMENT HAS NOT YET BEEN SIGNED,
AND THAT THEY ARE PREPARING TO ADVANCE TOWARD COMPLETELY
91BOTAGI THE 134919 OF 413REEMENT.
AT THE NEGOTIATING TABLE THE AMERICANS HAVE SCHEMED TO
MDDTFY THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES IN THE CONTENTS OF THE
AGREEMENT ON ENDINS THE WAR AND RESTORING PEACE TO VIETNAM,
WHICH WAS AGREED TO ON 20 OCTOBER. THROUGH THE U.S. LACKFYS'
M31JTHPIECES IN SAIGON THE U.S. DARK SCHEMES HAVE BEEN CLEARLY
EXPOSED.
THIEt.1' S 12 DECEMBER SPEECH REFLECTS MOST CLEARLY AND
(DNCENTRATEDLY THE U. S.-THIEU CLIQ1)E' S STUBBORN STAND.
THIS N-?MRER ONE VIETNAMESE TRAITOR FRENZIEDLY SHOUTED
AND UTTERED BELLICOSE ARGUMENTS. HE BRAZENLY REVIEWED ALL
THE PROBLEMS AND REPEATED THE INSOLENT, ABSURD 11. S. DEMANDS
WHICH HAVE STALLED THE NEGOTIATIONS FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS.
THIEU AGAIN DEMANDED THE COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL OF NORTH
VIETNAMESE TROOPS FROM SOUTH VIETNAM AND DEMANDED THE
REESTABLISHMENT OF THE DMZ WITH INTERNATIONAL CONTROL.
1E ALSO MADE PUBLIC HIS REJECTION OF ALL FORMS OF COALITION
WITH THE COMMUNISTS, AND STATED THAT THE SUPREME. CO'TNCIL O
MTIONAL RECONCILIATION AND CONCORD WOULD BE A FORM OF

THE FACT THAT THE ".9. REPRESENTATIVE AT THE PARIS
CONFERENCE ON VIETNAM SHOWED HIS EAGERNESS TO SUPPORT THIFtt' S
RATEMENT AND CALLED ON THE COMMUNISTS TO STUDY 94TION' S
!SEW PEACE PROPOSAL WAS THE MOST BRAZEN AND CLEAREST
INDICATION OF THE TJ,S. SCHEME TO REJECT THE FUNDAMENTAL
(DNTENTS OF THE AGREEMENT. IN RAISING THE "NORTH WITHDRAWWAS
TROOPS" PROBLEM THE AMERICANS AND THIET) HAVE AGAIN REPLAYED
THE DO""BLE?DEALINr FRACE, WHICH WAS EXPOSED LONG AGO,
IN AN ATTEMPT TO OBLITERATE THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE
PEOPLE OPPOSING AGGRESSION AND THE AGGRESSORS.
O11R PEOPLE HAVE ASSERTED MANY TIMES: TO OPPOSE AGGRESSIO4
IS THE SACRED SELF-DEFENSE RIGHT OF ALL VIETNAMESE PEOPLE WHO
LOVE THEIR COUNTRY AND THEIR RACE. THE SOUTH VIETNAMESE PEOPLE'S
LIBERATION ARMED FORCES, WHO HAVE FOUGHT UNDER THE NrLSV' S
BANNER AND UNDER THE PRGRSV' S LEADERSHIP, ARE THE GREAT
FESULT OF THE LONG, COURSE OF THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE'S PATRIOTIC
9RUGGLE AND CANNOT BE ELIMINATED OR WEAKENED BY ANYONE.

IEM4ND, THE U.S.-PUPPETS HAVE EXPOSED THEIR DARK SCHEME
TO ATTEMPT TO WEAKEN THE PRGRSV FORCES SO AS TO FACILITATE
THEIR NIBBLING AT THE LIBERATED AREAS. THIS IS AN ABSURD
DEMAND, AN ENTIRELY ILLUSORY DREAM BY THE AMERICANS AND THIE"1
OF SECURING A STRON(= POSITION. THE S0-CALLED REESTABLISHMENT
Or THE DMZ, WHICH THE AMERICANS AND THEIR ARE BALLYHOING,
)AS CLEARLY EXPOSED THE EVIL U.S. DESIGN OF PARTITIONING
OUR COUNTRY PERMANENTLY AND TRANSFORMING .SOUTH VIETNAM INTO
A SEPARATE NATION AND A 11. S. NEOCOLONY. WITH THIS 4RG+IMENT
THE AMERICANS HAVE BRAZENLY S'JALLOvED WHAT THEY AGREED ON,
WHICH IS THAT THEY RESPECT THE INDEPENDENCE, SOVEREIGNTY,
INIFICATION AND TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY OF VIETNAM.
THE BASIC U. S. SCHEME, WHICH IS REFLECTED ON THE
BATTLEFIELD AS WELL AT THE CONFERENCE TABLE, IS OBVIOt'S.
THROUGH THEIR MILITARY AND POLITICAL AND DIPLOMATIC MEASUIRES,
THE AMERICANS HAVE SCHEMED TO CREATE A STRONG POSITION FOR
THIETI 90 AS TO HAVE A BSIS FOR CONTINIIING THE VIETNAMIZATION
MLICY AND FOR NEGOTIATING FROM A POSITION OF STRENGTH.
THIS IS AN AGGRESSIVE STAND, A DO11BLE?DEALING ATTITUDE.
THE STAND AND ATTITUDE OF OUR PEOPLE REGARDING SETTLEMENT
OF THE VIETNAM PROBLEM ARE ENTIRELY. RIGHTEO"IS, SERIOUS AND
REFLECT OUR GOOD WILL. WE ARE DETERMINED TO MAINTAIN
THIS STAND AND THIS ATTITUDE FIRMLY, AND DEMAND THAT THE
AMERICANS IMMEDIATELY SIGN THE AGREEMENT, WHICH 045 AGREED
TO ON 20 OCTOBER, ON ENDING THE WAR AND RESTORING PEACE TO
VIETNAM.
THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES THAT WERE A(*42REE') ON ARE? THAT THE
AMERICANS RESPECT THE INDEPENDENCE, SOVEREIGNTY, TINIFICATION
AND TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY OF VIETNAM AND THE AMERICANS
COMPLETELY END THEIR MILITARY INVOLVEMENT IN VIETNAM;
RECOGNIZE THE ACTUAL SITUATION IN SOUTH VIETNAM, WHERE THERE
ME TWO GOVERNMENTS (CHINHS PHIJR), Two ARMIES AND THREE
POLITICAL FORCES; FORM THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF NATIONAL
RECONCILIATION AND CONCORD COMPOSED OF THREE SEGMENTS AND
.ACHIEVE DEMOCRATIC FREEDOMS IN SOUTH VIETNAM. THIS IS AN
LNCH4NGEABLE FUNDAMENTAL MATTER.

THEIR MILITARY INVOLVEMENTS IN SOUTH VIETNAM AND END
THE VIETN4MIZATION POLICY, OTTR PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE
TO FIGHT RESOLUTELY TO ACHIEVE AT ALL COSTS THE
FUNDAMENTAL OBJECTIVES OF OUR GREAT NATIONAL RESISTANCE.
WE ARE OF THE SAME MIND WITH AND ARE DETERMINED TO SUPPORT
THE STAND AND ATTITUDE Or THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE, AS STATED
IN THE PRGRSV STATEMENT. I F THE 11.9. GOVERNMENT AND THE
31IGON ADMINISTRATION CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THEIR DO'!f3LE-T)EALTN'
ArTITUT)E AND STUBBORNLY CLING TO THEIR INSOLENT DEMANDS
IN ORDER TO PROLONG THE NEGOTIATIONS AND TO PROLONG AND
INTENSIFY THEIR AGGRESSIVE WAR, THE SOUTH VIETNAMESE
FEOPLE, UNITED MILLIONS AS ONE AND REALIZING GREAT PRESIDENT
14 CHI MINH'S SACRED TESTAMENT, ARE DETERMINED, TOGETHER
WITH THE COMPATRIOTS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY AND STANDING
9iOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH THE FRATERNAL LAO AND CAMBODIAN
!EOPLES, TO COMPLETELY DEFEAT THE U.S. AGGRESSORS AND THEIR
LACKEYS.
THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROLONGING THE VAR MUST BE
SHOULDERED BY THE AMERICANS. OUR PEOPLE'S FIGHT IS IN
A FIERCE AND GREATLY FAVORABLE PHASE. WE ARE IN A WINNING,
STRONG, ASCENDING POSITION; THE ENEMY IS IN A DEFEATED,
WEAKENED, DECLINING POSITION. OUR JUST CAUSE IS SHINING;
OTR STAND IS CORRECT. OUR PEOPLE'S GREATLY VICTORIO'.1S FIGHT
ENJOYS THE SYMPATHY AND SUPPORT FROM BROTHERS AND FRIENDS
&L OVER THE WORLD. THE MORE STUBBORN AND DOUBLE-DEALING THE
U.S.-PUPPETS ARE, THE MORE ISOLATED THEY ARE, THE MORE
FIERCELY THEY ARE CONDEMNED, AND THE MORE SERIOUS THEIR
MILITARY AND POLITICAL SETBACKS ARE.
TIME IS IN OUR FAVOR. DETERMINED TO FIGHT AND TO WIN AND
FERSEPVERING IN AND STEPPING UP OUR STRUGGLE ON THE THREE
R ONTS.-MILITARY, POLITICAL AND DIPLOMATIC--OUR ARMED FORCES
AND PEOPLE ARE RESOLVED TO SMASH ALL THE DARK SCHEMES
OF THE U.S. IMPERIALISTS AND THEIR LACKEYS AND TO LEAD

NOW IT SHOULD BE RECALLED THAT SINCE THE MEETING ON
N)VEMBER 20, THE U.S. SIDE HAS INSISTED ON CHANGING A
WHOLE SET OF POINTS, POINTS WHICH ARE BASIC AND ESSENTIAL
AND HAVE THE FORCE OF PRINCIPLES, AND NOT "RELATIVELY LESS
! PORTANT" OR "LINGUISTIC" OR "TECHNICAL."
THE J.S. GOVERNMENT, BESIDES, HAS GIVEN NGUYEN VAN THIF'1,
If S HENCHMAN, FREE REIN TO OPPOSE THE AGREEMENT, AND HAS
SJPPLTED THE ' P PIIPPET THEpONS
TO STEP EP ,JP
FEOPLE UNDER ITS CONTROL.
THE U.S. HAS ALSO SOUGHT TO STRENGTHEN THE MILITARY
APPARATUS IN SOUTH VIETNAM BY LEAVING-3 BEHIND TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF DISGUISED MILITARY ADVISORS TO PROVIDE COMMAND

IT IS THUS CLEAR THAT THE U.S. HAS NOT GIVEN UP THE

'10 RESIST THE SIGNING OF THE PEACE AGREEMENT AND EVEN TO

WHATEVER SOPHISTRY THE U.S. MAY INDULGE IN IT CANNOT
RUN AWAY FROM ITS RESPONSIRILITY. THAT THE PEACE AGREEMENT HAS

THE U. S.
ONCE AGAIN, THE DRV SIDE DEMANDS THE 1I.5. TO KEEP TO
THE CONTEXT OF THE AGREEMENT MUTUALLY REACHED ON OCT 20, AND
SIGN THAT AGREEMENT WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY. MORE THAN THAT,
THE U.S. MUST SEE TO IT THAT THE AGREEMENT, ONCE SIGNED, CAN

SECRETARY MELVIN LAIRD HAS OPENLY DECLARED THAT THE
"RESTRICTIONS" WHICH HALTED THE BOMBING OF NORTH VIETNAM
43OVE THE 20TH PARALLEL HAVE BEEN LIFTED AND THAT AIR
OPERATIONS WILL BE CONDUCTED "THROUGHOUT _ NORTH VIETNAM."
THIS IS A MOST SERIOUS STEP TAKEN BY U.S. IMPERIALISM TO
1ROLONG AND INTENSIFY ITS WAR OF AGGRESSION AGAINST
VIETNAM AND A NEW OBSTACLE PLACED BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
TO OBSTRUCT THE PEACEFUL SOLUTION OF THE VIETNAM PROBLEM.
THIS ACT OF AGGRESSION ON THE PART OF THE "NITER STATES IS
PDT ONLY A NEW BARBAROUS CRIME AGAINST THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE
Bl_IT ALSO A PROVOCATION TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THE PEOPLE
OF THE WHOLE WORLD WHO EAGERLY HOPE FOR AN EARLY REALIZATION
OF PEACE IN VIETNAM. THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE
EXPRESS THEIR UTMOST INDIGNATION AT AND STRONGLY CONDEMN
I1? .
SINCE LATE OCTOBER THE 11. S. OVERNMFNT HAS TIME AND
AGAIN DELAYED THE SIGNING OF THE AGREEMENT MIITI1ALLY AGREED
IPON BY THE VIETNAMESE AND U.S. SIDES. THIS IS A FACT
GEAR TO THE PEOPLE OF THE WHOLE WORLD. THE MATTER HAS
BEEN DRAGGED OUT TO THIS DAY PRECISELY BECAUSE THE U.S.
SIDE ASKED TO MAKE REVISIONS IN THE SUBSTANTIVE CONTENT
OF THE AGREEMENT AND BACKED OIJT OF THE SCHEDULE FOR
,SIGNING ANI) BECAUSE IT ATTEMPTED TO PROCEED FROM A
I)SITION OF STRENGTH AND INSISTED ON ITS UNREASONABLE
DEM4ND9.. NOW THE WHOLE WORLD CAN SEE CLEARLY THAT
tr IS THE UNITED STATES, AND NOT THE VIETNAMESE SIDE,
THAT HAS GONE BACK ON ITS COMMITMENT AND DELAYED THE STONING

THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE ARE AN INDOMITABLE, HEROIC

FORCE CAN SUBDUE THEM. THE U.S. AGGRESSORS' TACTICS OF
IMPOSING PEACE TERMS BY BOMBING HAS LONG BEEN REBUFFED
BY THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE, AND ITS REPETITION TODAY DEFINITELY
WILL NOT SUCCEED EITHER. AS IS SAID IN THE STATEMENT OF THE
MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF

THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE, BY MEANS OF BOMBS AND SHELLS,
A RESOLUTION TO THE VIETNAM ISSUE ON U.S. TERMS. THIS, OF
(H URSE, IS ONLY A VAIN ATTEMPT."
THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE FIRMLY SUPPORT THE SOLEMN
