Some Soviet officials have warned that if the Teng visit proves to be an extravaganza of bearbaiting, they may further delay a strategic arms limitation treaty or scuttle it altogether. At the very least, high-level Soviet officials deplore the possibility of what some call a "love feast" between the U.S. and the Chinese...

Soon after the President announced Teng's visit earlier this month, a fierce scramble began for invitations to the Jan. 29 state dinner. Carter was sharply criticized for his decision to invite Nixon, although he explained he did so on the ground that the disgraced ex-President had pioneered U.S. rapprochement with China. But by issuing the invitation, Carter managed to discourage Teng from his desire to visit Nixon...
