...stir Asians much. But the crime against Tibet has opened many Asian eyes. The independent Times of Indonesia warned that Red China was losing what few friends it had left. From Japan to Ceylon, Asians angrily recalled the fine words of Red China's Premier Chou En-lai at the Bandung Conference in 1955, when he warmly embraced Nehru's Panch Shila (Five Principles) and specifically promised to respect "the rights of the people of all countries to choose freely a way of life as well as political and economic systems." India's press and public demanded...
...Tribute. Addressing the congress next day in place of the absent Mao, China's Premier Chou En-lai attacked Yugoslavia and the U.S. in terms far more bitter than Khrushchev's, and defended China's people's communes as "the best form for developing socialism under Chinese conditions."

Mboya himself kicked up a bit of a fuss by repeating the charges he recently made in London that a leading witness against the convicted Mau Mau leader, Jomo Kenyatta, had perjured himself in return for a British Colonial...
...over the risks being run by Washington, Communist China abruptly changed tactics. After an emergency meeting of the Supreme State Council, Peking grandiloquently ordered a "general mobilization" of China's 600 million people "for the struggle against war provocations by the American imperialists." But simultaneously, Premier Chou En-lai announced that, "to settle the Sino-American dispute in the Taiwan area . . . the Chinese government is prepared to resume ambassador-level talks [with the U.S.]." Furthermore, added Chou, Peking had "voluntarily" decided to suspend bombardment of the offshore islands "to give Chiang Kai-shek's troops a chance...
