...protests, Red China's Chou En-lai replied that the maps were really "old" ones that his young nation had not got around to revising. India had also been lulled in 1954 when it concluded a trade treaty with the Chinese based on the ancient Buddhist code of Panch Shila, or principles of coexistence, which guaranteed, among other things, mutual respect for each other's territorial integrity...

...independent Times of Indonesia warned that Red China was losing what few friends it had left. From Japan to Ceylon, Asians angrily recalled the fine words of Red China's Premier Chou En-lai at the Bandung Conference in 1955, when he warmly embraced Nehru's Panch Shila (Five Principles) and specifically promised to respect "the rights of the people of all countries to choose freely a way of life as well as political and economic systems."
