Red China's Battle Plan: It is a blueprint for revolution. Divide and encircle, conquer and incite. Film purports to lay out China's goal of domination. Sun Yat-sen is called the George Washington of China who led China in 1911 from its place a backward nation, ruled by an autocratic system of emperors and kings. Illustration of George Washington shown in book with Chinese characters. Various unrest in the streets, unclear what it is about.
The young Mao is shown addressing the founding conference of the Communist party in 1921. Peasants in Communist caps are shown writing down the words of Mao and cleaning rifles in rural areas. 1934, the Long March. Chinese mountain ranges. The caves of Yenan. Women threshing grain by hand. Communist study classes outdoors. Soldiers in fields working nest to peasants. Peasants performing morality plays in the fields. Nationalist Chinese army. Japanese planes bomb Shanghai. Chiang kai-shek Scenes of devastation, injured and charred children and adults. Mao's face appears on front of a locomotive promoting him as a popular anti-Japanese patriot. The Red Army marching with every soldier carrying propaganda posters on his back. Some kind of official signing that marks the ending of the war with Japan in 1945.
