...that Chiang Kai shek no longer rules over 500,000,000 Chinese. Like the ostrich who tries to wish away unpleasant facts by burying his head in the sand, the U.S. stubbornly continues to recognize the Nationalists as the government of China. Unfortunately the revolution is over, and Mao Tse-Tung has implanted in China a ruthless but stable regime.
