Chairman Hua Kuo-feng might consider making selections from Witke's book required reading for the period of de-Chiang Ch'ingification. Certain descriptions of Mme, Mao's "imperial proletarian style" would serve the new regime well in illustrating just how "bourgeois right" an "ultraleftist...
Today, at 63, Chiang Ch'ing is no longer a revolutionary heroine; she is constantly attacked as a counterrevolutionary villain. The abrupt transformation came about last October when she was arrested in Peking by the new government of Party Chairman Hua Kuo-feng.

As Hua delivered his address in the Great Hall of the People before 8,000 delegates attending an agricultural conference in the Chinese capital, reports were already filtering out of China suggesting the existence of considerable disorder in the shape of strikes, sabotage...
