...saying cities, the capital was poised for trouble. Radio Moscow claimed that the situation threatened to paralyze Peking's factories and rail communications. Wall posters (see box) reported one incident in which anti-Mao mobs stormed the cabinet building and "bloody clashes ensued." Premier Chou En-lai addressed a group of railway men, urging that service be restored; he also complained that Railways Minister Lu Cheng-tsao had been held captive by the workers for five days...
...this embattled cast of characters have appeared on our covers before (this is our 15th on China since the Communists seized power in 1949). Some were shown collectively three years ago, riding a Chinese dragon boat. Individually, it is the fourth time for Mao, followed by Premier Chou En-lai (three times), President Liu Shao-chi and Foreign Minister Chen Yi, all three of whom are now under attack. Our last China cover reported the rise of Defense Minister Lin Piao, who so far seems untouched in the power struggle. The story analyzed the phenomenon of the Red Guards, whose...
...Peking was becoming so vicious that no one was any longer immune from at least passing poster defamation-partly because Liu and his supporters seemed to be putting up a few posters of their own, thereby confusing everyone. Thus last week posters popped up demanding: "Burn Chou En-lai to death!"

Foreign Minister Chen Yi, considered a Mao man, was also attacked. When Reuters attempted to file a report of the attack on Chou...
...pressing the attack. The New Year's editorial warned that industry's freedom from interference by the Red Guards, negotiated by Chou Enlai, is now over. Some Sinologists think that Chou En-lai may indeed be in trouble with the Maoists, as the first round of last week's posters indicated, precisely because he counseled moderation rather than flat-out revolution in the first place. There are hints in the Chinese press that the police, who have so far scrupulously stayed out of what has essentially been a literary battle by poster, may soon be called into...
...provincial leaders don't see it this way, and neither do two of the nation's leading administrators, Chou En-lai, number three in the politburo, and Tao Chu, number for. Both were considered middle men the summer when Mao and Lin attacked the principle opponents of the Cultural Revolution. But now the opponents, led by President Liu Shao-chi, have possibly backed out of the picture, leaving Chou and Tao leaning dangerously on the wrong side of the fence. The two men want to keep the bureaucracy functioning and the leadership together, but they are in trouble...
