...settlement, we think we could work out a peaceful settlement very quickly." Such thoughts obviously still remain tantalizing, and some kind of deal on the war was a possible goal of the summitry in Peking. It was conceded that the war had been discussed by Henry Kissinger and Chou En-lai in their 16 hours of secret conversations. At the least, Kissinger must have outlined U.S. plans for virtual disengagement before Nixon's trip. The possibility of Nixon being welcomed to Peking at a time of fierce combat between Communist and U.S. forces would be improbable. Premier Chou last...
Nixon can undoubtedly survive the anguish on the right. What matters most, both for Nixon's political fortunes and the best interests of the U.S., is the eventual outcome of the trip. Its success lies largely in the hands of a wily and America-wise Chinese leader, Chou Enlai, and Washington's warnings against expectations of spectacular results were surely justified.

...When Yao's trial got under way, the Chinese made a special effort to see that the foreign diplomatic community in Peking was fully aware of the proceedings.

The motive is obvious: China's current leaders are sparing no effort to dissociate themselves from the ideological frenzy that threatened China with total chaos and mystified the watching world for much of the 1960s. Though its press and radio still crackle with anti-U.S. and anti-Soviet vitriol, Peking is in the midst...
...rampages reached their peak. ∙ Four years and several purges later, the Politburo's key committee has been whittled down to just three men: Mao Tse-tung, who heads the party; Defense Minister Lin Piao, No. 2 in the party and Mao's designated heir; and Premier Chou. Because China's presidency is vacant-no successor has been named for Liu Shao-chi, angrily deposed by Mao as a "revisionist" in 1967-Chou is the top man in the Chinese government, and the man with whom Richard Nixon will deal under the rules of protocol...
