...supplied to Kampuchea by the entire Communist world is declining. Since October 1979, 488 million has been provided by the Soviet bloc. Last year the total was $103 million, and only five socialist countries-mainly the Soviet Union and East Germany-contributed at all. By comparison, 50 non-Communist donor nations to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) sent $190 million in relief aid to Kampuchea...
Without continued high levels of humanitarian aid to Kampuchea, Viet Nam will be hard pressed to maintain its presence there. Hanoi is in debt for $3 billion in foreign currency, almost half from non-Communist countries. Thus when those donor nations meet this week they will be confronted by a difficult moral and political choice: either to provide aid to Kampuchea and risk subsidizing the communization of the Khmer people, or to stop it and risk losing thousands of innocent lives...

Even as recession engulfed much of the Western world in 1981, most non-Communist Asian nations achieved growth rates of between 3% and 7% for the year. In Hong Kong and Singapore, output surged by 10%. These Pacific powerhouses contributed more to the increase in world production than the U.S., Canada and Europe combined Economists expect that the Asian nations will score similar growth gains...

Partly because of that experience, partly because of their disillusionment with Mao's constant reinterpretation of Marxism, and partly because of their desire to find allies in the non-Communist world against Soviet "hegemonism," the Chinese have largely abandoned foreign adventurism. The only important...
...imposed on OPEC by outside events rather than a sign of its unity. The world has become less dependent on expensive crude. Oil demand in the consuming countries fell 8% in 1980 and dropped an additional 8% in the first half of this year. This has helped create a non-Communist world surplus for the past twelve months...
