...Premier Zhou Enlai in New Delhi. He was very suspicious. One of his entourage came to Hyderabad House where I was staying in Delhi and told me, "If a lion remains in the mountain, he is a lion. If a lion goes down into the plains, he is a dog." He was warning me. Zhou promised that China's reforms in Tibet would be postponed for six years. And even after that, if people were not happy, they could be postponed further. I consulted the state oracles. Finally I decided. In an atmosphere full of suspicion, full of mistrust...

...attempt, by sheer force of will, to march a deeply impoverished nation into the front ranks of modernity. The Leap's unscientific agricultural practices and inane technologies turned China into an immense archipelago of unproductive communes racked by famine.

...famous exhortation, "To get rich is glorious." Nowhere was the contrast to the past more evident than in Tiananmen square. It was here in April of 1976 where tens of thousands of Chinese gathered for several weeks in an outpouring of grief over the death of Premier Zhou Enlai. That gathering soon snowballed into a public protest against Mao and the Gang of Four, triggering a tough government crackdown. Thirteen years later, Deng ordered a far more brutal crackdown in April 1989 when students gathered in the vast public square to demand democratic reforms. On Thursday, the square was surprisingly...

...CONTAINMENT AND APPEASEMENT won't work with China, what should Washington do? Why not try the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, first initiated by Zhou Enlai in June 1954: "mutual respect, nonaggression, noninterference, mutual benefit and, finally, peaceful coexistence."
