A member of the Communist Party since 1927 and as a Politburo appointee, one of China's chief negotiators with Henry Kissinger, the rumpled, jowly Yeh has long been highly esteemed in both party and army circles. He has, however, always been a stalwart supporter of Mao's dictum that "the party commands the gun"; thus his appointment symbolized the reassertion of party authority over often independent-minded military leaders...

For another, the military leaders, who tend to be relatively conservative and rigid, may feel that the endless leftist experimentalism of Mao Tse-tung has retarded China's development. A secret Central Committee circular of last summer, which found its way out of China only recently, reports on production declines in key industrial areas, as well as popular disaffection with Mao's latest ideological movement, the campaign to discredit Confucius and through...
