Speaking as an "honest broker" for Chou Enlai, Nehru suggested that the Red Chinese had made several steps toward a "normalizing" of relations with the U.S., reported that Chou was deeply hurt at the U.S.'s rebuff. Why, wondered Nehru, does not the President recognize "realities" by recognizing Chou's government? To which Ike, talking like a civics teacher, briefed Nehru on the realities of American politics.

Chou based his prediction on the first five-year plan (1953-57) targets, which, he said, had already been exceeded. Despite flood and droughts, grain production for the current period would total about 1.1 billion tons. As a consequence, said Chou, a 35% increase in agricultural production will be the goal of the second five-year plan, beginning next year. This, said he, should make possible a 100% increase...
