However threatening it seemed, effects of the Sino-India quarrel then have been comparatively minor. China has been confirmed in her possession of Ladakh. India has come to trust China, although not necessarily the Soviet Union, a little less than formerly, and the Western powers, although definitely not Pakistan, a little more. Life in the U.N. General Assembly is a little simpler for those diplomats who found Krishna Menon particularly offensive. But neither a major realignment of Indian policy nor a serious outburst of Chinese expansionism has occurred...
...Sino-Marxist Amalgam. With no formal university education, Ching-kuo commands little loyalty among Nationalist China's intellectuals, and his nonconformist methods irritate the top politicians of the Kuomintang. He is backed by his dashing half brother, Major General Chiang Wei-kuo, 47. As minister without portfolio in the Cabinet and special adviser to the President, Ching-kuo works closely with his father. Another source of strength is Ching-kuo's 100,000-man Youth Corps, and his veto power over promotions in the army gives him enormous influence with junior officers...
Sheaf of Secrets. The Sino-Soviet ex changes are reaching such a point of bitterness that in earlier and simpler times, both nations would have been mobilizing their armies. Yet, for all the intemperateness of its language, Peking has been notably cautious about getting deeply involved beyond Red China's own frontiers-in line with the Red Chinese axiom, "Despise the enemy strategically, but respect him tactically." The West got an inside look at Red China's perspective on great-power conflicts back in 1961, when U.S. agents obtained possession of a 40,000-word sheaf of secret...
...Communist Central Committee. The Sino-Soviet split seriously hampers the air force (3,000 planes, half of them old-fashioned MIG-15 fighters), which has been dependent on Russia for aircraft, jet fuel and spare parts. The split with Moscow doubtless upset many high-ranking officers, and last May the party launched one of the biggest of its periodic cleansings of the armed forces. Nineteen new army regulations were announced. Their aim was to "place the army under absolute party leadership and to guarantee that the army will advance victoriously in line with the directives of Party Chairman...
...uprising. Peking radio also made an unprecedented reference to important factional disputes within the top ranks of the Chinese Communist Party. Khrushchev was accused of openly voicing support for "antiparty elements" in China. Western experts believe the Chinese "elements" Khrushchev was supporting were military men who opposed the growing Sino-Soviet split, most likely former Defense Minister Peng Teh-huai and his Deputy, Huang Ke-cheng. Khrushchev is additionally charged with trying to sell Peking on a "two Chinas" plan as a means of settling Mao's quarrel with Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek...
