The Red Flag (Chinese: 红旗; pinyin: Hóngqí) was a theoretical political journal published by the Chinese Communist Party.[1] It was one of the "Two Newspapers and One Magazine" during the 1960s and 1970s.[2][3] The newspapers were People's Daily and Guangming Daily.[3]
History and profile
Red Flag was started during the Great Leap Forward era[2] in 1958.[1][4] The journal was the successor to another journal, Study (Xuexi).[5] Its name was given by Mao Tse-tung.[1] Chen Boda was the editor of the journal,[5] which served as a crucial media outlet during the Cultural Revolution.[1][6] In 1966 Pol Pot formed a similar magazine with the same name in Cambodia in Khmer language, Tung Krahom, modelled on Red Flag.[7]
During the 1960s Red Flag temporarily ended publication, but was restarted in 1968.[8] The frequency of the journal was monthly between its start in 1958 and 1979.[5] It was published bi-monthly from 1980 to 1988.[5] It covered theoretical arguments supported by the party.[2] In May 1988 Chinese officials announced that the journal would be closed.[9] Finally, it ceased publication in June 1988, and was succeeded by Qiushi, another magazine.[1][4]
