...Chairman Hua thus tacitly conceded that he could not guarantee the loyalty of all the 4,000 delegates expected to attend the congress. Despite a vigorous, yearlong purge of opponents of his regime, there is still some resistance?ranging from mute dissent to downright rebellion?on every level of the ruling bureaucracy. Even rank-and-file party members?traditionally the backbone of a Communist state ?are suspect. Analysts note that party membership rose from 21 million to 35 million in the past decade, when the Gang of Four was riding at its highest point. Perhaps as many...

Last week a radio broadcast from Fukien reported that followers of the Gang of Four were still causing "very serious" problems in the area...
...attempts of Mao's successors to revise the Chairman's teachings. For his enterprise, Munro was pointedly dropped from a government press trip to Tibet this summer. Two months ago, he received a rare official reprimand for "maliciously slandering Chairman Mao and the Central Committee headed by Chairman Hua"?though he was never told exactly how he had offended...
