...China was beginning to sit up and take notice of the mounting Soviet diplomatic campaign to grab a bigger role in Asia (TIME, Jan. 14). Last week, with Kremlin Troubleshooter Aleksandr Shelepin back from North Viet Nam, and Moscow looking good after its mediating efforts in the Pakistani-Indian accord at Tashkent, the Soviets gloated over their new 20-year mutual assistance, friendship and cooperation treaty with Outer Mongolia, the pro-Soviet land on Red China's sensitive Sinkiang frontier.

Part of Ne Win's "Burmanization" program included driving out the Indian and Pakistani shopkeepers.
