...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 "raucous voices could well...
...challenge last week. But though reports often clashed in detail, they left little doubt that the height of the battle was approaching between Mao and his hand-picked heir, Marshal Lin Piao, on the one hand, and the more pragmatic and liberal Politburo faction headed by Chinese President Liu Shao-chi on the other. The Yugoslav news agency Tan-yug reported that Peking was "flooded with posters and cartoons of a sinister nature, depicting numerous Chinese leaders"-and not forgetting to include Lyndon Johnson, whose caricature was attacked by children bearing spears...

Thus last week posters popped up demanding: "Burn Chou En-lai to death!" As fast as they went up, they were torn down and replaced with signs proclaiming that anyone against Chou ought to have "his head bashed in." Foreign Minister Chen Yi, considered a Mao man, was also attacked. When Reuters attempted to file...
...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. Mao has reportedly begun to speak out against s "second line...
