...past, the Chinese have rejected the notion of "equidistance," thereby implying that they intended to have warmer relations with the U.S. The Red Flag article, however, was reprinted last week in the English-language China Daily, widely regarded as one of Chinese Leader Deng Xiaoping's main conduits for sending messages to Western powers. "Anyone reading that article would think that the U.S. is an equal threat to them and to world peace," said one dismayed Western diplomat. Whatever the reasons, Peking seemed to be putting the U.S. on notice that its most-favored-superpower status cannot be taken...
...Bodyguards watch over him. The maid at London's posh Claridge's covers the floor with towels because Kissinger, she says, does not like to walk barefoot on hotel carpets. Arriving in Paris, Kissinger is invited to the Elysee Palace for a chat with President Francois Mitterrand; in Peking, Deng Xiaoping suggests a talk over tea.

Editor in Chief Henry Grunwald told his hosts in Canton, "I have observed three strengths for China: energy, optimism and practicality...

While cordial in private, Chinese Leader Deng Xiaoping publicly upbraided the U.S. for its continued support of Taiwan, which he called the "principal problem" between the two countries. Bush was pleasant but unyielding. "They know our position, and we * know theirs," he said. Obstacles aside, the U.S. is now China's third-largest trading partner (estimated 1985 total: $7 billion), after Japan and Hong Kong. By week's end Bush had good news: the NATO-Japan coordinating committee...
