Despite Washington's "two-China" policy, Mao Tse-tung's regime may ultimately enter the U.N. on its own terms-as the one and only Chinese delegation. There is in fact only one seat marked "China" at the U.N. The U.S. effort to seat two delegations in the U.N.'s Manhattan headquarters (see box, page 25) will involve an effort to sidestep a fundamental issue of representation-if Peking takes the China seat, whom does Taipei represent? The strategy may not work; in truth, the U.S. might be relieved of some sticky diplomatic problems if it fails...
...estimate is 740 million, and most American demographers lean toward 800 million But not even Peking is sure of the size of the population it commands. The last published census, taken in 1953, showed 583 million. Peking now claims 700 million. But when American Journalist Edgar Snow asked Mao Tse-tung about these figures, the Chairman said in disbelief: "How could there be so many...
...serious scientific inquiry in the Soviet Union, to a lesser extent in France, Germany and Britain. In the U.S., the treatment is available principally in San Francisco's Chinatown. Even in its homeland, acupuncture was being phased out by officials before the Communist takeover in 1949.

So he deliberately encouraged the nation's Western-trained doctors to study the old ways as well as the new. It is this latest generation of physicians that has extended...
...passed more than a quarter-century in the flickering light and shade of nonrecognition. John Stewart Service and John Paton Davies Jr., both 65, once middle-echelon Foreign Service officers of the State Department, as long ago as 1944 correctly diagnosed the power and potential of Mao Tse-tung's Chinese Communist Party and urged that the U.S. make an early accommodation with it. Had this been done, they contend-and many observers agree-the U.S. might have been spared two wars-in Korea and Indochina. Drummed out of the service at that time for their views, they...
Fuzzing the Issues. That was a difficult view for the U.S. to accept, for Chiang was a genuine hero, the man who had rallied his country against the Japanese invasion. Increasingly, however, his war effort bogged down, partly because of the challenge to his rule from Mao Tse-tung and the Communists. Chiang felt that he was inadequately supported by the U.S. A group of U.S. military and diplomatic observers arrived at Communist headquarters in Yenan in July 1944. As the senior diplomat present, Service talked most with Mao and his top aides...
