Already China has moved to strengthen its ties with Europe. It has agreed to establish formal relations with the Common Market, and last week sent Vice Premier Teng Hsiao-ping, the third most powerful man in Peking after Mao Tse-tung and Chou Enlai, to Paris for talks with French leaders. Peking will probably also try to strengthen its ties with Japan and the U.S. Ironically, the Communist triumph in South Viet Nam could push China into a closer relationship with the West and Japan in an effort to offset growing Soviet influence in Southeast Asia...
...China watchers had any lingering doubts about the identity of Peking's rising stars, last week's events should have completely dispelled them. Teng Hsiao-ping, 70, already a party vice chairman and the government's first Vice Premier, was given the powerful, long-vacant post of Chief of Staff of the army.

...GREAT PROLETARIAN CULTURAL REVOLUTION, which swept China from May 1966 to April 1969, was Mao's offensive against the new elite. His chief weapon: China's youth. Huge posters denouncing pragmatic leaders such as Liu and Teng Hsiao-ping plastered walls; they and thousands of others were forced to resign in disgrace; millions of people paraded waving little red books containing quotations from Chairman Mao. The movement careened out of control. Exhorted by Mao to "learn revolution by making revolution," the youthful Red Guard attacked "old customs" and destroyed ancient art and cultural works. Rallies replaced work; schools...
...rostrum at the recent National People's Congress were sixteen Chinese leaders, any one of whom could one day rule their country. They are the je-hsin-the Chinese expression for the ambitious, the zealous, the hot-hearted. Most likely to succeed: the diminutive (5 ft.) Teng Hsiao-ping, 70, who has achieved the most spectacular political comeback in Communist China's history. The congress named him first among Chou's twelve Vice Premiers, just two days after the Central Committee had made him a Vice Chairman of the Communist Party. This adds significantly to the power...
