...SHENYANG CITY CRACKS BIG THEFT CASE, blared the front-page headline in the Peking People's Daily. GOLD THIEF EXECUTED. Such lurid stories were once unheard of in China's staid official party newspaper, but recently the People's Daily and other Chinese papers have been publishing accounts of criminal wrongdoing almost daily. Even more unusual, the individuals being fingered in the press are ranking government and party officials. Reports TIME Peking Bureau Chief Richard Bernstein: "The fact that they are now being publicly denounced on the country's front pages indicates that the top leadership...

The most note worthy transfer was of Li Te-sheng, 61, the army's top political commissar and a member of the nine-man Politburo standing committee and of the party's military affairs commission. He was sent from Peking to the crucial northern command in Shenyang, which covers the vital industrial regions of Manchuria and the vulnerable northeast frontier with the Soviet Union. Li is considered one of the army's rising generals, and his posting to the sensitive Soviet border testified to continuing Chinese concern over the Russian troop buildup in the area...
