...events awkwardly coincided with an official visit last week by Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Xuequian to Washington, where human rights violations in Tibet were already on the agenda. Wu told Secretary of State George Shultz that China had done much to make amends for damage suffered by Tibetans during the Cultural Revolution of the late 1960s.

The five did agree on a renewed effort to get Iran to endorse a cease-fire, threatening possible Soviet and Chinese votes for an embargo if it does...
...Communist hard-liners and pragmatic reformists had taken yet another swing. In recent months, the reformists had been gaining greater control over the economy. Now, however, the ideologues have apparently persuaded Paramount Leader Deng Xiaoping that the party cannot afford to shelter those who snipe at its authority. Though Wu was the only intellectual whose departure has been confirmed, as many as four other liberal theoreticians and journalists have reportedly been asked to quit the party...
