There have even been strong signs of active political dissent. The most dramatic came in April, when about 100,000 people, angered by the removal of memorial wreaths to Chou Enlai, demonstrated in Peking's vast T'ien An Men Square against radical policies. The T'ien An Men rioters bloodied several radical university students and waved placards that allegorically assailed Chiang Ch'ing.

The Great Helmsman's death, especially in the absence of a figure like Chou Enlai, who was supremely skilled in the art of political balance and compromise, could easily remove the constraints that now keep the factions under control. Indeed, some analysts believe last week's violence would not have happened had Chou still been alive. That view may exaggerate the late Premier's indispensable skills. But there is no doubt that...
