At the congress, Mao Zedong delivered the political report On
the Coalition Government; Liu Shaoqi made the report On the
Revision of the Party Constitution; Zhu De delivered the
military report On the Battlefield in the Liberated Areas; and
Zhou Enlai made an important speech On the United Front. The
congress worked out the Party's political line which was to
"boldly mobilize the masses and expand the people's forces so
that, under the leadership of our Party, they will defeat the
Japanese aggressors, liberate the whole people and build a
new-democratic China". The new Party Constitution adopted at the
congress stipulates that "the Communist Party of China takes the
Mao Zedong Thought that integrated Marxist-Leninist theory with
the practice of the Chinese revolution as the guideline for all
its work". This helped the Party get consolidated and united in
an unprecedented way, laying a foundation for the full victory
against Japanese aggressors and later the nationwide victory of
the people's democratic revolution.
The
congress elected a new Central Committee composed of 44 members
and 33 alternate members. At the First Plenary Session of the
Seventh CPC Central Committee, Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Liu Shaoqi,
Zhou Enlai, Ren Bishi, Chen Yun, Kang Sheng, Gao Gang, Peng
Zhen, Dong Biwu, Lin Boqu, Zhang Wentian and Peng Dehuai were
elected to the Political Bureau of the Central Committee. Mao
Zedong, Zhu De, Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai and Ren Bishi were
elected members of the Secretariat, and Mao Zedong was elected
chairman of the Central Committee.
