...will not find a crack in the Sino-Soviet union any more than you will find one in a duck's egg," said Red Chi nese Foreign Minister Chen Yi last July. Scarcely five months later, the duck's egg was cracked wide open. Hatched was an ugly little basilisk, confronting Moscow with a threat to its supremacy far graver than Yugoslavia's defection in 1948. The Soviet Union has the political muscle to keep most of the world's 81 Communist parties in line, and superior economic resources to offer poor nations willing to boost...
...openly split: five members of the party's 25-member central executive committee favor Peking (the center of such sentiment is West Bengal), although General Secretary Ajoy Ghosh is a Khrushchev disciple, and accuses Red China of antagonizing the Indian masses by fomenting border incidents. The freeze in Sino-Indian relations was reflected this week in New Delhi, where the Russians opened a glittering pavilion at an international industrial fair, while the Chinese boycotted the event...

Russia was to supply mainly machinery and finished goods, to be paid for with Chinese foodstuffs and raw materials. But with its well-publicized drought ("for 40 days it was possible to drive a car along the bed of the Yellow River," said Chinese Ambassador to Poland Wang Ping-nan recently), Peking was unable to deliver its part of the bargain. Instead, China has been sent scrabbling to buy wheat for itself from Canada, foodstuffs from other...
