...Guards who broke into highly secret Communist Party files during the 1966-68 Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. Others were leaked to the Red Guards by unnamed Chinese leaders. The papers were then smuggled out of mainland China and were obtained by U.S. officials from sources in Hong Kong, Taipei and Tokyo. After a thorough preliminary check of the documents' reliability, the State Department released the majority of them to some top Western scholars of Chinese history and politics. The papers also became available to TIME...
...Kennedy has proposed a slightly different solution: both Chinas to be seated in the General Assembly, leaving to future discussion the allocation or abolition of the Security Council seat held by Nationalist China since 1945. The trouble with a two-China solution is, of course, that both Peking and Taipei bitterly denounce even the slightest suggestion of it.

So far, Taipei leads Peking 20 to 13 in the battle for recognition by African...
...Chefs. Vanguard also brings foreign technicians to Taiwan for seminars and advanced studies in agriculture, health, sanitation and land reform. More than 5,000 have taken advantage of Taipei's offer. So well known has the program become in Africa that recently the Taiwanese were asked to extend their assistance to gastronomy: at the request of President Mobutu, two Taipei chefs flew off to Kinshasa to impress the Congolese with their skills...
