...usually more subtle in its subversive techniques, has also managed to stomp on African toes. Peking's men in Burundi were thrown out early this year after a Chinese subversion campaign that was climaxed by the assassination of Moderate Premier Pierre Ngendandumwe. During a recent visit to Tanzania, Chou Enlai ineptly pronounced Africa today was "exceedingly favorable" for revolution-which to incensed African leaders suggested that Peking was plotting their own downfall. Russia and China both had to write off major investments in Algeria's Ahmed ben Bella, who managed to woo Moscow and Peking simultaneously before...
Nobody rejoices over a repentant sinner more than Red China's Premier Chou En-lai-particularly if the sinner is a highly placed defector from the West. To prove it, Chou ordered party flacks to go all out last week on a reception for 74-year-old Li Tsung-jen, Nationalist China's acting President during the final days of the Communist conquest, and Peking's biggest prize so far in the East-West defection game...
...step along the path of the struggle, I came to understand that only Communism could free the oppressed peoples and workers of the world from the yoke of slavery." In Paris just after World War I, Ho hung out in the caves, palled around with a Chinese student named Chou Enlai, wrote pamphlets for the Communist International denouncing the "ugly mug of capitalism," edited a strident, anticolonial weekly called Le Paria (The Untouchable), wrote a bitter, anti-French comedy called Le Dragon de Bambou. In 1918 he rented a suit and trotted out to Versailles to badger Woodrow Wilson...
...remarkable health. Recent visitors to his presidential office-fully 20 tatami mats (360 sq. ft.) in area, as one Japanese describes it, and topped by a huge, sonorous fan-have found Ho ruddy-cheeked and cheerful. For a Communist boss, he has a lively sense of humor: once when Chou En-lai spoke in Hanoi, Ho sat on the stage beside the speaker, subtly aping Chou's every gesture and facial twitch, much to the audience's amusement-and Chou's puzzlement. As a carryover from his days of flight and subversion, he favors disguises, fooling even...
...sooner had Wilson gaveled the motion into debate than a fog of dissent sprang up around it. Tanzania's President Julius Nyerere, recent host to Peking's Premier Chou Enlai, complained that the idea unfairly "put China in the dock," adding that "if Hanoi refuses to see the committee, the whole thing will be a blow to the Commonwealth." Pakistan's President Mohammed Ayub Khan argued that Wilson also should not be a member. Ayub's reason: Britain is too deeply committed to the U.S. to join a truly "nonaligned" peace initiative. Malaysia's Tunku...
