...spent more than a decade in the Soviet Union and his wife Faina is Russian, but his animosity to Communism in any form makes this course seem unlikely. The third factor is Taiwan's continued refusal to negotiate better relations with the mainland. China's Vice Premier, Deng Xiaoping (Teng Hsiao-p'ing), has cited this hostile attitude as one that could cause Peking to take drastic action. Finally, if Taiwan were diplomatically isolated and torn internally over China's offer of a peaceful reunion, Peking might decide that invasion was a practical alternative for settling...

They did not like the idea of Brezhnev preceding Deng and very likely being eclipsed by him. Therefore Gromyko might have been using these eleventh-hour wrangles over third-rate issues as a pretext to postpone the Carter-Brezhnev summit...

Sinologists were surprised, too, by the re-emergence into public life of two old foes of Deng: Secret Police Chief Wang Dongxing (Wang Tung-hsing) and former Peking Mayor Wu De (Wu Teh). This did not mean, however, that the Vice Premier was in serious political trouble.
