...Wrong Tendencies." Radio reports intercepted in India confirmed the fact of massive army uprisings in Tibet, where Red Chinese Army Commander Chang Kuo-hua reportedly kicked out the Red Guards and laid siege to government installations. Peking wall posters told of fighting in the high Himalayan redoubt that left 100 or more dead. Chang, who commanded the 100,000 Chinese troops that seized Tibet in 1951 and who later directed the invasion of India, declared martial law and sat back to await the arrival of three army divisions said to have been dispatched from China proper to "crush the revisionists...
...tung's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution has produced the greatest proletarian traffic jam in history. From Tibet to Tsingtao, the roads, rails and airlines of Red China are jammed with Chinese on the move. Most are Red Guards heading to and from Peking to spread the word of the leader's glory. Their road map-passed out on trains, sung on airliners-is a cheap (about 25?), red, plastic-bound copy of Mao's Thought.

"We did nothing in Tibet or Hungary, but we are now in a critical stage for the free world. This is a period of overall strife. Although some people describe Viet Nam as an isolated incident, it is not. It is part of a whole...
EXCEPT for flies, beggars and Americans, Communist China is not a Forbidden Land in the way in which that celebrated term applied to Tibet. In an age of satellite eyes-in-the-sky, it is certainly not Terra Incognita; its huge land mass, slightly bigger than all 50 U.S. states, lies naked before the orbiting cameras. The figurative curtain that it has drawn around itself is not of iron but, more appropriately for the Orient, of pliable bamboo. Yet of all the earth's too many closed societies, that of Red China ranks as the most ominously secretive. This...
