Which one of the following is not included in the well known sayings of Mao ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
In his 1938 lecture On Protracted War, Mao Zedong famously stated the exact opposite: “Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.” The inverted statement that war is politics without bloodshed is therefore not among Mao’s sayings. By contrast, Mao declared in On Protracted War that weapons are an important factor in war but not the decisive factor (which is people), stated in Problems of War and Strategy (1938) that the Party commands the gun, and launched the 1956–57 Hundred Flowers campaign with “Let a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend.”
