...affairs, could be the man. But at week's end the leading possibility seemed to be Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Chiao Kuan-hua, a onetime journalist who speaks fluent English. Chiao has most recently been in charge of China's negotiations with the Russians on the Sino-Soviet border dispute...
...Moscow too. Bent on becoming a Sino-Soviet summiteer, Richard Nixon accepted an invitation to visit the Soviet capital late in May for talks with Soviet leaders that will cover "all major issues" affecting the two powers. The Moscow mission will thus apparently follow by several months the President's journey to Peking. If the world does not, in fact, move from an era of confrontation to one of negotiation, it will clearly not be because Nixon...
With the Cultural Revolution safely behind them and domestic stability restored, Chou now stands ready to tackle foreign policy problems. Diplomatic isolation since the Sino-Soviet split has left China with few allies and little flexibility. While Mao's "hard-line" boosted morale, China could do little to help allies materially.

The Chinese were-and remain-rigid dogmatists who are unlikely to forgive him even in death for his "revisionist" heresy.

A large number of Nikita...
...Communism in China, it is the work of Dr. Richard L. Walker, a University of South Carolina scholar known among his fellow Sinologists as a staunch supporter of the Chinese Nationalists. By Walker's reckoning, as many as 3,034,000 were killed in the civil war, the Sino-Japanese War and the Korean War. "Several million landlords" died during the 1949-52 land reform, up to 2,000,000 Chinese during the 1958-61 Great Leap Forward, 500,000 during the 1966-69 Cultural Revolution, as many as 1,000,000 as a result of efforts to suppress...
