Chou was the grandson of a landowner and the son of a minor official, but he showed an early talent for firebrand politics?first as a student leader in Tientsin, later as a Communist organizer in France. When he joined the Chinese Communist...
Recently he re-established diplomatic bonds with Peking and extended an invitation to Premier Chou En-lai to visit Belgrade. Then he turned around and played host to Soviet Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev, with whom he joined in a declaration of friendship and cooperation.
