The Chinese Card.

Sterling News Service
Feature

The event which took place recently in Peking’s
Central Stadium cannot be considered an out- —
‘standing one. However, the Chinese media described
it as the most-significant occurrence in the capital of ~

‘ithe People’s Republic during the last few years. _ .

-Soviet and Chinese athletes met for.the first time.

since the split between the two communist giants in -
_ the early."60s.

This fact per se is not one to attract a lot of at-
tention from political observers, although they. have.

takén some note of it.

It would be useful to remember that the sudden
rapprochement bétween the U.S. and China also
started with an innocent sports tournament, the so-
called * ping pongdiplomacy.’ _-

‘For those in the U.S. who enthusiastically play the
Chinese ‘card.,. it is just about time to realize -how

- dangerous are ‘illusions in politics, Still using Uncle
Sam, still getting money and. computers from him,

the’ communist regime of China feels itself strong
enough to start the second stage of its long. range’

‘The late Chairman Mao used to compare himself
with a monkey sitting at the top of a mountain and

valley; The intellectual. inability

“To: be pro-Soviet ‘means to be anti-Mao,’” said
recently one young Chinese poet whose poems were
