...banner the first two characters read "Down with." But the next four characters seem syntactically unrelated, though we know the meaning of each of them. In Romanized form they read, "Heh-lu-hsiao-fu." We feel that this must be the transliterated surname of some non-Chinese. Is it Khrushchev...

In one announcement, Red China took full credit for forcing a weak-kneed Khrushchev ("who had decided to abandon Socialist Hungary to counterrevolution") to send Russian tanks into Budapest and crush the 1956 uprising. Peking radio also made an unprecedented reference to important factional disputes within the top ranks of the Chinese Communist Party. Khrushchev was accused of openly voicing support for "antiparty elements" in China. Western experts believe the Chinese "elements" Khrushchev was supporting...
