What particularly struck China watchers was the depth of Peking's shock at the open, scrappy and in many ways anti-Maoist protest. The incident at T'ien An Men-and similar violent confrontations in the city of Chengchow-began as reactions to the removal of memorial wreaths to the late Premier Chou En-lai (see color opposite).

In essence, Sonnen-feldt's thesis was that the U.S. should not encourage a violent political uprising in the satellites because it could only lead to Soviet intervention-and to the danger of an incident that might set off World War III. What was more, even if the U.S. wanted to help a rebellion, it could not easily intervene in that part of the world. Example...
