The Nasser who found Chou En-lai's coexistence charter at Bandung "quite convincing" sounded to Communists like their kind of neutralist−a soldier, a conspirator with a smoldering sense of anticolonial vengeance.

Thus Russia, the first socialist state to emerge as a major industrial power, is solicitously helpful in mapping a nationalized economy for India. U.S. pharmaceutical firms have long been anxious to build plants in India, but have balked at the prospect of investing money and technical secrets in a government-controlled industry.
