...Crimson women's fencing team must have thought it was a Maoist plot. A night before their most important tournament of the year, the New England competition in Providence, R.I. on Sunday, a Chinese restaurant hosting the team banquet served the food so slowly and kept team members up so late they only slept for six hours. One of the team members even contracted MSG poisoning...
Once sacred Maoist principles are being abandoned for more efficient but heretical ideas such as industrial competition, higher incentive wages, and productivity bonuses.

An editorial in the People's Daily urged further progress down the capitalistic road.

The initial Chinese objective is the establishment within five years of a research network for the basic sciences, then a system of modern laboratories that will press on with research into what the Chinese (who have a sort of political fetish for numbers) call the Five Golden Blossoms: atomic science, semiconductors, computer technology, lasers and automation. In March, Vice Premier Fang Yi reported an eight-year timetable for China to begin the launching...
