Chen, a political scientist at the National Taiwan University, discounted allegations in the American press that the government of Chiang Kai-shek is engaged in suppressing the civil liberties of political dissenters.

He denied also that the government was dictatorial...

Krishna Menon sweeping an arrogant eye over the press gallery, Russia's grinning Andrei Gromyko, China's dumpy Marshal Chen Yi, hidden first behind the curtains of his huge ZIM limousine and then behind a phalanx of small aides in crumpled clothes.
