Rusk won some sympathy for his plight from Japan's Premier Eisaku Sato. During an Asian tour designed to bring his country a little farther out of the diplomatic tortoise shell into which it retreated after World War II, Sato declared: "If there is any suspension of the bombing, there should be a firm assurance that this would lead to an eventual settlement."

China also lashed out at Japan, Indonesia and Ceylon for that sin of sins against Peking: cozying up to Taiwan. Japanese Premier Eisaku Sato's three-day good-will visit to Taiwan came under the heaviest fire. Sato, said the Chinese, was intervening "in the domestic affairs of China."
