Peking called the action "unreasonable and untenable," noted that it was "unprecedented in the history of the relations between our two Socialist countries," and accused Moscow of deliberately trying to create obstacles to the scheduled talks. Even as Khrushchev arrived in East Berlin, the Chinese embassy there went right ahead distributing copies of the Peking manifesto to interested bystanders...
Stalin's Ghost. On hand for talks with Khrushchev in East Berlin were the satellite chiefs of Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Bulgaria. Absent, at least from among early arrivals: Rumanian Red Boss Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, who is not only feuding with Moscow over economic planning but is warm toward Peking, allowed its manifesto to appear in the Rumanian press.

Beitz has also initiated trade talks with Rumania; rumors persist that his visit with Khrushchev in May will lead in time to a new German-Soviet trade pact. Beitz is neither a profits-at-any-price executive nor as Red-Starry-eyed as the U.S.'s Cyrus Eaton, but he argues that "the great transition in the Soviet orbit is toward a consumer...
