Maoist leaders seek
to undermine detente

By VICTOR VASILYEV

European affairs are now the
focus of Maoist foreign policy.
‘Recently Peking has carried out a
series of important talks with the
representatives of West European
states. The reason for this seems to
be the strategic course of the
present Chinese leadership of
undermining the relaxation of
international tensions. :

The Maoist leadership un-
derstands that the processes oc-
curring in Europe are having an
influence on the international
scene. Directly opposing each
other in Europe are the most
powerful forces of the world
systems —. socialism and
capitalism. Confrontation between
them was a kind of cornerstone of

‘the cold war. At the same time it is

in Europe that the dire con-
sequences of a nuclear war can be
envisioned with the greatest
clarity.

The Chinese leadership regards
the establishment of a_ lasting
peace in Europe as a direct threat
to its desire for new ‘‘colossal
upheavals.’’ Moreover, Peking

fears that the example of a suc--

cessful solution to European
problems will provide an impetus
to more constructive actions by the
involved countries toward the
Asian continent as well. To prevent
‘detente, the Maoist leadership is

line is projected which would help
the electors to decide what they
will get if this or that political
party wins. The decision, this time,
he said is made more difficult by
the fact that the issues of real
pressing concern for the working
people are covered up or blamed
on the shortcomings of other
governments. :

Beeching said that Saskat-
chewan’s natural endowment of
minerals, oil and other wealth has
passed into the outright ownership
of U.S. monopolies, who have
calculatingly prevented and ham- '
pered the province’s economic
development. A new policy is
needed, he said.

oil and gas exploration? We will be
putting up most of the money every
time we go to the filling station to
fill up, and every time we pay our
monthly electric and heating bills,
while Imperial Oil laughs all the
way to the bank.”

It’s all part of a monopoly con-
spiracy to skin the people, he said.
Beeching said that by pooling
economic resources the three NDP
governments in the West have had
the opportunity to bring a certain
stability in employment and living
standards through the joint,
planned development of power and
industrial resources, under public
ownership, aimed at overcoming
the inequalities which ay prevail
in the West, and as an alternative
to the domination of Saskat-
chewan’s economy by the big U.S.
oil and mining monopolies.

seeking to deride the positive
development of relations between
the socialist and capitalist coun-
tries of Europe.

To undermine the process of the
strengthening of security in
Europe, Peking is conducting its
offensive on several fronts. It is
seeking to distort the aims and
class content of the Leninist
peacable foreign policy of the
Soviet Union. The Maoist
leadership would like the world to
believe that European develop-
ments are not a reflection of the
struggle between the two world
systems, but are determined ex-
clusively by the actions of the
“super powers.”

At the 10th .Congress of the
Communist Party of China it was
stated that the U.S.A. and the
USSR want ‘‘to seize world
hegemony” and to this end ‘are
struggling against each other and
at the same time colluding with
each other.” Furthermore, China
has said that ‘Europe is the
strategic centre of gravity of their
struggle.”’ The same thought was
also underlined in the report made
by Chou En-lai at the January
session of the National People’s
Congress.

The Chinese leadership is taking
special plans to destroy the Con-
ference of Security and
Cooperation in Europe.

Peking began to assure the world
that the detente in Europe was
necessary forthe Soviet Union in
order to attack China. In a con-
versation with French

parliamentarians, Chou En-lai°

said: ‘‘The conference on
European security worries us. . . .
In the event of the onset of detente,
Soviet troops will come to the
northern border of China.’’ But the
myth about the “threat from the
North”’ deceived no one.

The Maoist leadership then
made another verbal attack on the
Soviet Union. It began to say that it
was no longer worried by the
Soviet attack on China, but was
disturbed by the fact that the
Soviet Union is preparing to attack
Western Europe. Li Ta, Deputy
Chief of the General Staff of the
People’s Liberation Army of
China, lectured West German
political figure Strauss: ‘Three
quarters of the forces of the Soviet

Union are in the West. This proves
that it is easier for the Soviet Union
to dominate Europe than China.”
A year ago the Chinese
leadership asserted that the all-
European conference had ‘‘landed
in a deadlock.” Now that the
conference is already completing
the elaboration of the mutually
acceptable principles of security
and cooperation, Peking is staking
on the most conservative, reac-
tionary forces of the capitalist
world. The Maoist leadership
prefers them to the present
governments of. some Western
countries which, in its opinion, are
pursuing too liberal a policy. It
hopes to use these forces in the
future and prevent the im-
plementation of the decisions of the
all-European conference.
During the past year the Chinese
leaders held negotiations with

political figures: U.S. Senator
Jackson, Heath from Great
Britain, and Strauss. These

politicians are described by the
Western press itself as the most
rabid enemies of detente. They are
known for their anti-Soviet and
anti-communist _ views. The
newspaper Die. Welt (January,
1975) wrote that during Strauss’s
tour of China he was ‘‘welcomed
everywhere as an old friend and
fellow fighter” and that the visit to
the 196th infantry division of the
People’s Liberation Army of China
“bore the character of German-
Chinese fraternization.”’

Peking is trying to impose upon
the West its old thesis of the
inevitability of another world war.
In the words of Chou En-lai, the
present situation in the world ‘‘will
sooner or later lead to a world
war.’ In October 1974, Ten Hsao-
ping told a Federal Republic of
Germany (FRG) Bundestag
delegation: ‘‘Peace in the world
cannot last throughout the lifetime
of a whole generation. ... Each
generation will have its own war.”’

Proceeding from this notorious
thesis of the ‘‘inevitability” of war,
Peking advises the West not to rely
upon peaceful coexistence with the
socialist countries, but to fortify
NATO and build up its armed
forces.

The Maoist leadership is doing
all this with an eye on the future. It
‘is encouraging the sentiments of
