...pattern was repeating itself throughout Southeast Asia. In Thailand, four Chinese businessmen were shot to death in public on suspicion that they had burned their shops to get the insurance. In Cambodia, Chinese residents were barred from 18 occupations, ranging from barbering to pawnbrokering to, curiously enough, espionage. In Indonesia, Chinese traders and their families-some 300,000 people-were ordered to get out of rural villages by year's end.

...this was a far cry from the days when Indonesia was one of the first countries in the world to recognize Red China. By last week the Times of Indonesia was demanding the expulsion of Red China's Ambassador Huang Chen. Radio Peking had its own pat explanation of what had gone wrong: "Some time ago, the U.S. sent a special agent pretending to be a scientist to Indonesia to fan up an anti-China campaign . . ."
