The conflict between the two sides intensified last June when the regime withdrew its tacit recognition of Jesuit Bishop Dominic Tang as head of the Canton diocese. The ouster came just after Pope John Paul II asserted Tang's Vatican connection by appointing him Archbishop of Canton.

...killings. Much of the violence is the work of government security units, which are waging an all-out campaign to crush the small but growing leftist guerrilla movement. In addition, paramilitary rightist groups like the Secret Anti-Communist Army (E.S.A.) appear to do their murderous work with the tacit cooperation of the government. Amnesty International traces the headquarters for most of the right's secret operations to the Presidential Guard Annex of the National Palace...
