Summary

This chapter relies on official and unofficial sources that have recently been made available to examine how the Chinese Communist Party introduced methods of reparation to deal with deaths that resulted from the egregious killings that took place in Guangxi between 1967 and 1968. Newly regrouped party leadership in the early post-Mao era designed a special reparation strategy and framework that included compensation, restitution, rehabilitation, implicit state apology, and commemorative acts; of these, the government prioritized rehabilitation while marginalizing the role of material reparation, largely because of final constraints.
