Later that month, Chairman Hua Kuo-feng jetted across three borders of the Soviet Union in what was seen as an attempt to bait the angry polar bear. But Hua's message was far more than simple anti-Sovietism. By proclaiming the reemergence of the People's Republic as a major actor on the international stage, he threw the ball back in the U.S. court. The question is now whether the U.S. will respond by developing a policy based on the significant Sino-U.S. ties that the PRC is attempting to create...

In the past month he has sent emissaries to China with pleas for supplementary military aid. Though he has received gratifying messages from Chairman Hua Kuo-feng ("We support your struggle"), no substantial increase in aid has been forthcoming.

Both in Yugoslavia last week and Rumania the week before, the Chinese leader got a warm reception-and spent far more time per country than is customary for visiting heads of state. As if emboldened by the friendship he was finding at the Kremlin's doorstep, Hua missed no opportunity to cast calculated aspersions on Moscow. The Soviet press responded with a few choice phrases...
...performance calculated to jangle the nerves of the Russians. There he was, no less a personage than Chinese Communist Party Chairman Hua Kuo-feng, hand in hand with Rumanian President Nicolae Ceausescu, dancing the hora while hundreds of young men and women clapped their hands and thousands of onlookers chanted "Hua! Hua!" And the scene of all this commotion was right in the Kremlin's backyard...
