United States diplomats will not be the only ones to bring discolored perceptions to the new U.S.-China relationship. One motivating factor in China's strategy will probably be a continued preoccupation with internal political affairs. In particular, former Vice Chairman Lin Piao, although named Mao's successor by the 1969 congress of the Chinese Communist Party, is now accused of betraying his country, evidently to the Soviets. Of all of Mao's opponents in the Communist Party, Lin appears to be the first to have been labelled "traitor" to the nation...

Teng had once ranked fourth in the party hierarchy (behind Mao, Liu and Chou, and just ahead of the now-dead Defense Minister Lin Piao); he was party General Secretary and a member of the Politburo.

...letter have recently been used in provincial broadcasts in China and in an issue of Red Flag, the party's ideological journal. Sinologists see two reasons why party leaders have resurrected it at this time. One is to help convince surviving cadres of the Lin Piao faction that the former Defense Minister, who was reportedly killed in a plane crash in Mongolia in September 1971 after the discovery of his plot to assassinate Mao, had been acting against the Chairman's will even as early as 1966. The other reason for its publication is probably to dissociate...
