Hardly anyone expected the Chinese bourgeoisie to rise again. But there was no doubt that the purge of "counterrevolutionary" Communists that swept Peking's Mayor Peng Chen from office (TIME, June 10) was spreading rapidly into the provinces. In southern Yunnan province and in neighboring Kweichow, editors of provincial party papers were under fire for spreading "revisionist poison." In Szechwan, a high-ranking official in the party's regional directorate was accused of having shamelessly attacked party cadres. "He has not yet made a confession," snarled the local radio, "but he will not be allowed to sneak...
Peking's People's Daily was not mentioning names last week, but its readers knew well enough who had been struck down: Peking Mayor Peng Chen, 67, long considered one of the most powerful men in Red China and now the latest victim of Mao's purge of "antiparty and anti-Socialist revisionists" (TIME, May 13).

Peng's top adversary is Defense Minister Lin Piao, 57, who reappeared from a long absence along with Mao last week, and whose army newspaper, Chiehfang Chun...
...Pakistan overplayed the welcome? Not as far as visiting Communist Chinese President Liu Shao-chi was concerned. But President Mohammed Ayub Khan, his host, seemed to be having second thoughts last week as Pakistanis gave Liu, 68, and Foreign Minister Chen Yi, 65, the headiest welcome ever accorded state visitors to their country. After tumultuous greetings in Rawalpindi (TIME, April 1), perhaps 1,000,000 people poured into the streets of Lahore, the old Mogul capital, sprinkling rose water into the path of the Chinese, heaping flower petals on Liu's car, shouting "Long live Pakistan-China friendship...
