Washington's "evenhanded" policy of castigating both the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia and the Chinese invasion of Viet Nam was scornfully dismissed as a tilt toward China. It was that insistent Soviet view which torpedoed a United Nation's Security Council effort to devise a cease-fire formula. Western and Third World members lined up behind a proposed resolution calling for reciprocal withdrawal of both Vietnamese and Chinese troops.
