Even so, Peking said, there was "no reason whatsoever for China and the Soviet Union to fight a war over the boundary question." The Chinese even referred to "peaceful coexistence," an abrupt about-face after all their talk of "overthrowing the Soviet revisionist renegade clique." Another apparent softening on the part of the Chinese was their expression of willingness to negotiate on the basis of frontier treaties that Peking considers "unequal" because they were imposed by czarist Russia on a tottering Chinese empire...
...decade ago, most Western analysts thought a split between the Soviet Union and China inconceivable. Today, the analysts find the notion that Moscow and Peking will make up any time in the foreseeable future equally inconceivable. Indeed, even in agreeing to hold border talks with the Soviets, the Chinese spoke of "irreconcilable differences" with Moscow. Yet what if the inconceivable should occur once again, and Moscow and Peking were able to reach a genuine reconciliation? Among the possibilities...
...CHINA AND THE SOVIET UNION: Along the 4,500-mile Sino-Soviet frontier, where both sides have been feverishly building up forces since bloody Ussuri River clashes earlier this year, tensions relax quickly.

The Chinese start to redeploy forces dug in along the frontier, moving them into political and civic action work inside China to help heal the wounds caused by Chairman Mao Tse-tung's Cultural Revolution. The Soviets resume a degree of aid to China, mainly in industrial credits...
...arms-control milestone, the seabed treaty proposed by the U.S. and the Soviet Union in Geneva last week hardly ranks in importance with 1963's partial nuclear test ban and the nuclear nonproliferation pact of 1968.

Still, like the treaties denuclearizing Antarctica and outer space, the seabed proposal at least offers the hope that one more area may be closed to the arms race...
Wave of Arrests. Mylonas was a member of the Center Union Party, a slightly left-of-center grouping that was the major target of the archconservative junta that took power in 1967. Arrested in August 1968, he was exiled to Amor-gos. He suffered from arthritis and circulatory problems, but the junta refused to consider his wife's pleas for his release. On Amorgos, there was little for him to do beyond his twice-daily visits to sign in at the police station...
