...talk about the prospects of 'Titoism' in China, it is generally assumed that all satellites must be treated alike by the Russians without any degrees of dependence. There have been signs that they are willing to accept from China a much looser form of attachment than is required from the East European satellites. Apart from the vast extent and remoteness of China, the fact that the Chinese Communists have had an army and territory of their own for more than twenty years . . . puts the Chinese in a different category from all other non-Soviet Communists...

The Yugoslavs, declared the Ukraine's Dmitri Manuilsky in a withering speech before the Assembly...
What Mao did was to explode the hope that the Western democracies could do business with Communist China and thus gradually wean its Red masters away from allegiance to world communism. Mao announced, in effect, that Titoism was not for him. Said he: "We belong to the anti-imperialist front headed by the U.S.S.R., and we can only look for genuine friendly aid from that front and not from the imperialist front...
