毛泽东提出“东风压倒西风”的缘由及战略思考

The Reason Why Mao Zedong Put Forward the Theory of “The East Wind Prevails Over the West Wind” and His Relevant Strategic Thinking

毛泽东的"东风压倒西风"论,是他对世界形势的判断,是对20世纪50年代后期社会主义阵营与资本主义阵营力量对比的分析。这一论断体现了毛泽东对社会主义道路和社会主义制度的自信,体现了他维护世界和平的愿望,也体现了他高瞻远瞩的战略思想和积极乐观的斗争精神。在社会主义国家遭到攻击的时期,"东风压倒西风"论在一定程度上维护了社会主义阵营的团结,也鼓舞了中国人民建设社会主义的热情。今天,国内外形势不断发生深刻复杂的变化,重温毛泽东的"东风压倒西风"论,对我们增强"四个自信"、增强社会主义意识形态话语权有着重要的启示意义。

Mao Zedong’s theory of "The East Wind prevails over the West Wind" was based on his judgment of the world situation and the analysis of the power balance between the socialist camp and the capitalist camp in the late 1950s.This theory embodied Mao Zedong’s confidence in the socialist road and system,and his desire to maintain world peace as well as his far-sighted strategic thought and fighting spirit.And also,this theory maintained the unity of the socialist camp to a certain extent and encouraged the enthusiasm of the Chinese people in building socialism country during the period when socialist countries were challenged.Today,the situation at home and abroad is undergoing profound and complex changes.Reviewing Mao Zedong’s theory that "The East Wind prevails over the West Wind" is of great significance for us to strengthen the "four self-confidences" and to enhance the discourse power of socialist ideology.
