Rhetorical Smoke. The Chinese indicated that they were intent on serious diplomatic business by naming a high-powered delegation (see box), whose ten members, headed by Deputy Foreign Minister Chiao Kuan-hua, are particularly well-grounded in Soviet and U.S. affairs. One reason for fielding a team heavily laden with Americanologists is that the corridors and lounges of the U.N. present abundant opportunity for bilateral contacts with the U.S. delegation, which has assigned two China experts to its own staff.

Social Swath. The Chinese are hardly unhappy about all the attention. Huang Hua is frequently seen around the capital, riding in his chauffeur-driven Mercedes or strolling across Ottawa's Parliament Hill. This week Huang sets out on a week's tour that will take him to all ten of Canada's provinces...
