Though the M.F.N. issue will not be fully resolved during Teng's visit, a U.S.Chinese agreement on cooperation in science and technology was expected to be signed by Teng and Carter at a midweek ceremony at the White House. The agreement provides for an exchange of scientists and agriculture specialists. Chinese and American officials are also working on an agreement that would establish U.S. consulates in cities like Shanghai, Chinese missions in Los Angeles and elsewhere...
Sprinkled among the talks on substantive issues will be numerous diversions, and the White House task force charged with entertainment for Teng and Co. has been under heavy siege. Soon after the President announced Teng's visit earlier this month, a fierce scramble began for invitations to the Jan. 29 state dinner. Carter was sharply criticized for his decision to invite Nixon, although he explained he did so on the ground that the disgraced ex-President had pioneered U.S. rapprochement with China. But by issuing the invitation, Carter managed to discourage Teng from his desire to visit Nixon...
Crowning the Teng festivities in Washington this week is a gala entertainment at the Kennedy Center for the Vice Premier and 600 selected guests, including Washington's Government and business elite.

Dinner that night at the mansion of Georgia Governor George Busbee will feature spinach soufflé, thinly sliced veal and vanilla mousse?all foods especially selected for eaters unskilled in the use of a knife and fork...
Moscow's dismay over the growing links between Washington and Peking is going to be a longtime problem for U.S. policymakers, and could cancel out any gains that might result from Teng's visit. Vance argued two weeks ago that the Carter-Teng summit will "increase the chances of maintaining a stable equilibrium among the U.S., Japan, China and the Soviet Union." But Soviet officials do not see it that way, and as Teng touched down in Washington, the delicate triangular relationship among the U.S., China and the U.S.S.R. was hanging in the balance...
