...railways could be built in Sinkiang, Manchuria, Tibet and Mongolia, and if all these railways could be linked into one system," said Sun Yat-sen long ago, "then China's people would have cheap food to eat." Red China and the Soviet Union are now building Sun Yat-sen's railroads, with a notably different purpose.

The State Department's current reading is that many more interests unite the Communist rulers of the two big nations than divide them, and that China is not a satellite of the Soviet Union (like Bulgaria, Rumania, etc.) but a partner-a decidedly junior partner...
