...prompted his virtual retirement from public life in June 1974 to a secluded hospital in Peking. Chou apparently played a role in some major policy decisions up until the last few months of his life, but most of his responsibilities had already been entrusted to First Vice Premier Teng Hsiao-ping, who will almost certainly be appointed Premier. True to his reputation as an administrator par excellence, Chou apparently managed even his own passing from the political scene with dexterity.

It was as if the President constantly...
Part of the trouble may have been the absence of Chou Enlai, 77, the co-architect of Sino-American rapprochement, who is desperately ill with heart disease. Both Chiao and Vice Premier Teng Hsiao-ping, who appears to be running China on a day-to-day basis, are facing increasing complaints from some of their colleagues about the Washington connection. Observers note also that Kissinger and Teng seem to actively dislike each other...
