...well advertised. Tensions had been building up ever since Hanoi's forced expulsion of ethnic Chinese last spring, Viet Nam's lightning rout of Peking's client regime in Cambodia last month, and an intensifying series of incidents on the China-Viet Nam border. Vice Premier Teng Hsiao-p'ing repeatedly and publicly telegraphed the punch during his U.S. visit this month, railing against the "hegemonistic" ambitions of the Soviet "polar bear" and against Vietnamese "aggression" in Southeast Asia. Hanoi "has to be taught a necessary lesson," he warned. In Tokyo on his way home, Teng again pointedly talked...
...Minister Ustinov reaffirmed that the U.S.S.R. "will honor its obligations under the treaty of friendship and cooperation with Viet Nam."

Beginning with his extraordinary interview with TIME Editor in Chief Hedley Donovan Teng used his U.S. trip to bait the Russian "polar bear" and to escalate the war of nerves over the conflict in Indochina Teng's visit left the impression that once again the Administration was not controlling events, even on its own home ground. The U.S.-China relationship, and the question of who is using whom, may be further complicated by Peking's weekend "attack of self-defense" against Viet...
...when the Vietnamese invaded Cambodia, whose regime was a Chinese client. After Viet Nam's forces ran Premier Pol Pot out of Cambodia's capital, Phnom-Penh, and seized control of that country's other cities last month, China's Vice Premier Teng Hsiaop'ing began talking of taking "punitive action...
