One reason: from Algeria, where Ben Bella was deposed in June, to Ghana, where Nkrumah was ousted last month, China's sphere of international influence has seriously diminished. As Peking's fond hopes of impending victory in Viet Nam have gone glimmering, China's principal party organ, People's Daily (Jen Min Jih Pao) has had to inject more and more caution about the "upheavals" and "reversals" facing the Communists.
