...discount the poster accounts added up to widespread turmoil. Some 35,000 autoworkers in Manchuria were said to have wrecked eight schools used by the Maoists as bases. The posters described clashes in Peking and Shanghai, claimed that fighting took place in Shantung in east China, in northwestern Sinkiang, the site of China's nuclear installations, in Inner Mongolia and in Honan, the largest wheat-growing province. Not surprisingly, the People's Daily last week warned that "anarchism" suddenly threatened to undo all the gains of the Cultural Revolution...
...Peking, Mao Tse-tung alerted frontier troops, warning them that the Soviet Union was reinforcing its military strength along the Chinese border for possible anti-Chinese moves. The contempt with which each side now regards the other was nowhere better illustrated than along the Sino-Soviet border in Sinkiang province. There, according to a Japanese correspondent who recently visited the region, Chinese border troops insulted the "revisionists" by hauling down their trousers and flaunting their backsides at the Soviets across the frontier. The Chinese "provocation" ceased when the Russians held up a portrait of Mao Tse-tung, whose face could...
...Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, whose excesses are opposed by a majority of Communist Party officials, bureaucrats, local and provincial commissars and apparatchiks, factory managers and often workers.

Seizing weapons and ammunition from an arsenal, they warned that "anyone opposing our rebellion will be shot...
Arrest & Suicide. Violence and dis order continued to rule from the cities of the eastern river valleys to the western desert of Sinkiang. The deposed mayor of Shanghai was hauled through the city's streets atop a trolley car, his head bowed and a placard tied about his neck. Armed battles between pro-and anti-Maoist factions roiled the streets of Canton, and north of the city, in Kiangsi province, an army of anti-Mao peasants was reported gathering-and daring Mao's Red Guards to come and fight them. Wall posters announced the suicide of onetime Army...
...Revolution, some 110 million youths above the age of nine have been excused from school since last June, either to serve in the Red Guards or simply cavort around the countryside while studying Mao's writings and singing his praises to everyone within earshot. A peasant in remote Sinkiang province may never know anything about the current battle for power, but if he knows nothing else, he will know who Mao is and what he says. Even if Mao's opponents should ultimately triumph, they would probably have to do so without impugning Mao personally. Lin Piao...
