China’s warning: U.S. waging
undeclared war in S. Vietnam’

By BERT WHYTE
Pacific Trib. Correspondent
PEKING — The United)
States is already in an “un-,
declared war” in South Viet-
nam, the People’s Republic of

China charged. this week.
Should this “special | war-
fare’ waged by. “special

forces” succeed, the danger.of
wars. ona bigger scale will
be greatly increased.
Aggression in South: Viet-,
nam. not. only threatens the
security of -the: Democratic

Republic of Vietnam, it. also

seriously affects the security
of China and .the peace of
Asia, continues. the statement’
issued by the Chinese foreign
ministry.

“Soon after the signing of
the 1954 Geneva agreements,
U.S. imperialism. rigged. up
the aggressive. SEATO. mili-
tary bloc and arbitrarily de-
signated Southern Vietnam
as an area under the protec-
tion ef this. bloc.

it points indirectly to China.
The Chinese government and
people cannot but . express
their grave concern at this.
“The .Chinese government
has. always stoed for the
peaceful setllement .of inter-
national disputes. China took
part. in. the Geneva agree-
ments. and has_ all : along
striven. to. ensure the . strict
inyplementation of the agree<
ments. We hold that the co-
chairman of the Geneva con.
ference and the countries con-
cerned. must. promptly hold

‘consultations and take appro-
