...threatened with expulsion from the party. Moscow-trained Party Theoretician Liu Shao-chi, often regarded as No. 2 man in the hierarchy of Chinese Communism, was reportedly opposed to Mao's doctrine of letting all flowers bloom when it was first enunciated last year; so, apparently, was Premier Chou Enlai. Both were in the forefront of the counter-rectification campaign when it was unleashed in all its fury this year...

Then, one by one, they cited statistics demonstrating that the best-laid plans of Mao's men have gone agley...
Peking's industrial retreat has been compelled by the need to ease up on the tormented peasantry. Chivied into collective farms, and harried by a series of natural disasters that ravaged 38 million acres of land inhabited by 70 million people (according to Chou En-lai's figures), China's peasants have become increasingly restive. Just how restive was made clear by Tung Pi-wu, President of the Supreme People's Court, who told the People's Congress that during the past year Red China's courts handled 1,000,000 cases of "corruption...
