The gunfire of China's war was audible in the Portuguese colony. Through Porta do Cêrco, the massive, yellow brick border gate, poured panicky peasants and deserting Nationalist soldiers, clamoring for haven from the advancing Reds. Black sentries from Mozambique allowed them to pass, first stripping the deserters of weapons. By week's end, over Pak-sha-leang...
