...delegation as China's unofficial embassy to the U.S. As one qualifiedly friendly gesture, the U.S. applied to the Chinese the same travel regulations that govern the movements of the Soviets. Delegates from other Communist countries that have no diplomatic relations with Washington, such as Cuba, Albania and Mongolia, must apply for special permission to travel more than 25 miles from Manhattan's Columbus Circle; the Soviets, and now the Chinese, merely have to notify the State Department 48 hours in advance that they intend to take such a trip...
...done for its people, and permitted to its people." The West, he added, "did not have the guts" to overthrow Mao's regime, and the dream that Chiang Kai-shek would reconquer the mainland was, alas, "a little counter-revolutionary vision." Turning to the U.N., he described Albania, sponsor of the successful anti-Taiwan resolution, as "a little, reclusive country composed primarily of rocks and serfs, with here and there a slave master, whose principal export is Maoism."

Last year this Albanian resolution won a majority vote yet was defeated by a U.S. parliamentary maneuver. This year, America is again side-tracking the debate by raising the bogus issue of the expulsion of a member nation...
...second test came when Albania attempted to keep the U.S. resolutions off the General Assembly's agenda. There the U.S., by a vote of 65 to 47 (with 15 abstentions), succeeded in keeping its resolution on the agenda, though the vote was scarcely a victory. It revealed that 47 nations are absolutely committed against even discussing the U.S. resolution. Nor could the 65 ballots be seen as definite votes in the U.S. camp. Several countries, including Italy, voted for putting the U.S. resolution on the agenda only to make it emphatically clear afterward that they will not support...
