This site has a very brief bibliography, and mainly contains documents.  The documents are Mao’s works, quotations from Mao and there are also pictures.  However, there are no citations on any of the documents,  pictures, or for the bibliography.  The documents have been translated into English already, and the originals are not on the website.  The website it’s self also has very little information to be cited.
