Mongolia for the Mongolians. After months of keeping the People's Liberation Army out of the struggle, Mao's decision to employ it was an admission that he no longer has enough influence across China to be sure of winning by political means. The Liberation Army Daily's announcement in response to a call from Mao said as much: "Even though they [the Maoists] may be just a minority temporarily, we must support them without the slightest hesitation." The Maoists, in fact, have been a minority all along in the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, whose excesses...
...Filthy Soviet revisionist swine!" cried the Peking People's Daily. In Moscow itself, the Chinese charge d'affaires, An Chih-yuan, called his hosts "paper tigers" and warned ominously: "The day will come when we will make the Soviet revisionists repay their blood debts." Since Mao Tse-tung launched his Cultural Revolution, the scale of invective that has long marked relations between Red China and the Soviet Union has risen to new heights of shrillness. Last week, however, even the versatile Chinese language, which lends itself naturally to invective and exaggeration, seemed hardly equal to the task...
...governments are denouncing each other with such frequency-and often taking action to match the denunciations-that the Sino-Soviet rift has become a fact of history far more firmly established than the Sino-Soviet bloc ever was. Last week, for example, a meeting of Soviet trade unions branded Mao Tse-tung as "chauvinist, nationalist, anti-Leninist, anti-working class and anti-people." Peking replied that it would "sweep away all vermin, be it U.S. imperialism or Soviet revisionism." The feud has virtually evaporated all ties save diplomatic relations. Students from both countries have returned to their homelands. The last...

Writing in the Harvard Business Review, Richman describes Mao's country as "a land where some 300,000 capitalists still receive interest on their investments, and where many of them are still serving as managers of their nationalized enterprises." Striking a Bargain. Richman, a Ca nadian citizen, toured China for two months last spring, found that many businessmen had not only survived but thrived on Red soil. Though small-stuff storekeepers...
...Mao's clique of capitalists emerged soon after the 1949 revolution, when many wealthy Chinese fled to Taiwan or Hong Kong in fear of their lives. Those who stayed struck a bargain with the Reds. In desperate need of old-fashioned expertise to run China's newly nationalized industries, the Communists allowed factory owners to stay on as managers. They were guaranteed their regular salaries, plus 5% annual interest on the value of their former holdings-as assessed by Communist party bureaucrats...
