...terms. China rejected India's demand that before the start of negotiations it withdraw from the 14,000 sq. mi. of Indian territory it occupies in Ladakh (see map). "No force in the world could oblige us to withdraw," said Red China's Foreign Minister Chen Yi. The effect of the Chinese announcement was thus to tell India that any final settlement must irrevocably deed the disputed Ladakh territory to China...
...rather disappointing," he reaffirmed his desire "to settle our differences with China by peaceful discussions." Such apparent willingness to negotiate on Chinese terms stimulated cries of "appeasement" against Nehru's government. Attacks on Defense Minister Krishna Menon for his recent breakfast dates and cocktail party nattering with Chen Yi in Geneva have been stepped up, even though Nehru claimed that Menon was only acting under orders to probe China's real intentions in Ladakh.

In 1924, after stopping off in Moscow, Li and his wife headed back to China, and, at the party's orders, went their separate ways-Tsai Chang to Shanghai to agitate among...
...will not find a crack in the Sino-Soviet union any more than you will find one in a duck's egg," said Red Chi nese Foreign Minister Chen Yi last July. Scarcely five months later, the duck's egg was cracked wide open. Hatched was an ugly little basilisk, confronting Moscow with a threat to its supremacy far graver than Yugoslavia's defection in 1948. The Soviet Union has the political muscle to keep most of the world's 81 Communist parties in line, and superior economic resources to offer poor nations willing to boost...
