Chinese reds face dilemma by Stanley Karnow Hong Kong special tons the current confrontation Between the so Viet Union and Czechoslovakia appears to have placed communist China in an awkward predicament. Chinese leaders in order to strengthen their own hand against Moscow would like to show signs of sym Pathy for Prague. But As fierce opponents of Revi they cannot seem to support the czech Liber als. Thus their pretentious to ideological purity Are pre venting them from manoeuvring As they did during a similar situation in 1956, to increase their prestige in Eastern Europe. As a result the chinese have evidently adopted the rather tortuous expedient of attacking the soviet leaders for having encouraged the czechs to deviate from what peking considers to be Correct communist p r a c times. Without specifically mentioning the czech trouble a number of recent official chinese articles have implied that the soviet leaders Are to blame for the unravelling of european communism because they them selves set the example.

Soviet party Leader Leonid Brezhnev criticizing the capitalist Way of social calling it a Sham and commenting is he not acting just like a Loose woman who wants to erect an Arch in Honor of her own despite s u c h attacks there is no evidence that the chinese intend to gain on Moscow in Eastern Europe. Their foreign policy now reviving after a year of paralysis appears instead to be aimed at improving relations with countries like Pakistan Cambodia Nepal and the african states.
