Sick Fifth. Whatever the complexion of the post-Mao leadership, some very basic problems facing China will not fade away in the foreseeable future. The country will have a population of 1 billion by 1980, yet still lacks the solid industrial base that is a must for any modern power. Somehow, Peking will have to reassert the central government's authority over the vast hinterlands-something it lost during the Cultural Revolution. At the same time it will have to determine whether it should soften its standoffish attitude toward the rest of the world. Eventually it will no doubt...
