Since the devastating Cultural Revolution of 1966-69, Chou -with Mao's blessing-has gone a long way toward reconstituting the shattered party apparatus. But five years after reconstruction began, the task is only half completed. Of the 29 top party positions in China's provinces, eight are still vacant.

Guillaume emigrated to the West as a refugee from Communism in 1956, and joined the Social Democratic Party. He worked his way up to a job with the party apparatus in Bonn and in 1970 was appointed to Brandt's staff. Government spokesmen emphasize that his job was political and did not include secret matters. But the fact is that he was constantly at the Chancellor's elbow and attended many important meetings...
