Japanese term or phrase: 公私の兼顧

A quote from Chairman Mao? Sorry, but I have very little context on this.

“Even if one assumes that the basic position of labor and management is the same, due to differences in work duties, their actual positions differ. If trade unions blindly follow management, they will lose their reason to exist.” Li Lisan expressed his overwhelming support for Deng‘s claim, by saying “This is a concrete realization of (term)…”

Explanation:
In the context of the passage you have provided, it looks as if this phrase somehow ended up being one of Mao's slogan's, which Li Lisan then cites.

Furthermore, another Japanese site does reference "公私兼顧" as a slogan:
"〈公私兼顧〉のスローガンも1960年当時は..."

Supports from both public and private sector

Explanation:
This is my educated guess. I believe this character 顧 refers to "suport" rather than interest. This answer is based on the following Chinese-English dictionary site:

Again, this is merely my guess.
May I suggest that you post your series of questions to Chinese-English forum instead?
