We have dealt the counter-revolutionary forces an extremely serious blow. However, there are still counter-revolutionary remnants which have not been eliminated. They are still being imported from abroad. The remnants at home may ferment and spread. Moreover, they are still engaging in frantic activities and endangering the people's cause. Unless we take steps to wipe out the activities of the counter-revolutionaries, the people's State will be in jeopardy. Therefore, we must continue to heighten our vigilance and continue to suppress the counter-revolutionaries. As long as the counter-revolutionaries still exist, we must work to eliminate them completely.
