Relations between the two countries have been cordial since the early 1960s, when Rumania realized that the Sino-Soviet rift offered an opportunity to assert its own autonomy...
While Chairman Hua was cleaning up in Eastern Europe last week, his countrymen were having a little trouble with their own mop-up campaign back home.
