During that period, much of the Kremlin's information about the Chinese came from Kao Rang, who was then the representative of the Chinese Politburo and the strongman in Manchuria. To win Mao's trust and friendship, Khrushchev says, Stalin gave Mao reports by the Soviet ambassador in Manchuria about his conversations with Kao, saying, "Here, you might be interested in these...
Upon being offered the traditional one for the road, a Japanese will more likely than not decline with a polite "Kao akaku naru" (My face will get red). If he does accept the drink, he may feel uncomfortable after downing it. In any event, he-like most Asians-will probably never become an alcoholic. That fact has long been a puzzle to hard-drinking Westerners.

...distress of the U.S. mission, which considers it a matter of course for a country to include intelligence operatives among its diplomats, the FBI leaked word that Kao Liang, leader of the Chinese advance party, was a well-known Peking agent. Kao (whose name is pronounced Gow) was reported to have been booted out of India, Mauritius and Burundi for fomenting subversion while working for the New China News Agency. The charge may well be true, and at least one U.S. diplomat abroad affirms, "We know he is a spook," though the same accusation was equally applicable to every Chinese...
