...Guard introduction to the poster said that Liu had made his confession last October at a party caucus. And for all the Red Guard denunciations before and since, Liu is still President of China. The conclusion of Sinologists: Mao's opposition, including such "revisionists" as Party Secretary Teng Hsiao-ping, is still too powerfully entrenched in the party apparatus, still has too much of a following in the countryside to be summarily ousted...
...posting of Liu's confession seemed aimed at rousing public ire against him and strengthening Mao's hand. The next day, some 100,000 Red Guards poured into the Peking Workers' Athletic Hall for "A Rally for Thoroughly Criticizing Liu and Teng for Their Bourgeois Reactionary Lines." The youngsters boomed approval when speaker after speaker denounced Liu as "the Khrushchev of China," the "boss of the capitalist class," and warned that unless the Liu-Teng platforms were banished, "China itself might fade away." Clearly, the Guards were pressing for a showdown...

The indisputable fact is that, for all the railings of the Guards against them, both Liu and Teng...
There was plenty of Maoist presence in the continuing purge of "pragmatic" intellectuals and administrators that began two weeks ago with the downfall of Poet-Scientist Kuo Mojo (TIME, May 13). Latest victim of the "rectification campaign" aimed at restoring rigid Mao-think is Teng To, a sometime litterateur and secretary of the Peking municipal party organization. Also missing from public view and mention: Peking Mayor Peng Chen, 67, an upper-echelon Politburo member who was long regarded as a contender for Mao's chair when he dies. Peng's top adversary is Defense Minister Lin Piao...
