After the birth of Ping Pong diplomacy in 1971, the Chinese allowed the resident foreign press corps to increase from 18 reporters to the present 42 (including 24 from non-Communist nations).

He is in no danger of being overthrown as Diem was. But growing economic problems at home, along with the continuing threat of a North Vietnamese military offensive, mean Thieu needs all the help...
