Murder! cried the Red Chinese government. "Murder deliberately engineered by secret-agent organizations of the U.S. and Chiang Kai-shek!" Retorted the U.S. State Department: "Preposterous." The Chinese Communists had chartered an Air-India plane (fee $20,000) to take part of their delegation to the Bandung Conference in Indonesia. The four-engined Constellation flew in to Hong Kong from Bangkok on a regular flight, disembarked its passengers, and refueled. During the 80 minutes it stood on the airfield, it was ringed with security guards. Then the charter passengers were whisked in past customs directly to the plane. Chief among...

For them, Chiang and Formosa are the only counter to the pull of Communist China on their loyalty...
Already the Communists are energetically proselytizing among them. Said an old Chinese, sadly, in Bangkok: "Our young people are full of pride at what they think the Communists have done in China. They laugh at Chiang and at the corruption of his government when it was on the mainland. They do not know what real corruption means.
