When its forces were hit in Korea, the U.N. reacted as no law-enforcement agency ever had before. It politely invited the Chinese government to come to Lake Success. Then appeared the unforgettable General Wu, the only man in history (so far) to have the exquisite pleasure of telling a world organization of 60 nations representing 1,845,000,000 people to go climb a flagpole. General Wu was not much interested in borders, loops or perimeters. He placed his government in the vanguard of "all the oppressed nations and peoples of the East," who are struggling either against foreign...
...General Wu's country is flat on its back. It has no heavy industry and not enough food for its people. But Wu, unlike the participants in the U.S. Great Debate, did not seem worried about op country overextending itself. He was looking for opportunities, not for survival.

Undaunted, the commissioners wired again; they assured, Wu's bosses that no "trickery" was intended, implied that a cease-fire order would be rewarded with a discussion of Red China's far-reaching demands...
...reply came at last. Over Radio Peking, Red Premier Chou En-lai flatly brushed aside the cease-fire proposal. Like Wu, he spurned it as a trick designed to shield U.S. aggression. Like Wu, he insisted that U.N. forces be withdrawn from Korea. He added that the cease-fire resolution was null & void anyway, because Red China did not take part in the U.N. debate or vote on it. "Therefore," proclaimed Chou, "neither the Chinese government nor its representatives are prepared to have any contact with this illegal three-man committee...
