...myself believe--and I think Mao Tse-tung believes, which is why he has unleashed this "Cultural Revolution"--that China is in grave danger, from his viewpoint (I do not regard is as a danger) of gradually evolving more in the direction of the Soviet state, toward a more pragmatic, revisionist form of Marxist Leninism...
