...regime's leadership set an example of Lei Feng-like solidarity last July after Vice Premier Teng Hsiao-ping failed in his effort in Moscow to end the Sino-Soviet split. When Teng returned to Peking, he was met at the airport by an unprecedented welcoming committee consisting of Mao Tse-tung and virtually every other top official not ill or on out-of-town assignment...
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."

In Washington, the State Department termed the air agreement "an unfortunate breach of free world solidarity." And when Under Secretary of State...
...These Sino-Soviet duels around the world, as much as the fruitless talks in Moscow, have shattered any prospect of early reconciliation. Now that the Moscow meeting has collapsed, both sides in effect concede that what began as a charade of unity has become a Communist nightmare...
