*Communist China - Burma. Following successful set-
tlement of t e Sino- urmese. boundary question, Commu-
nist China is embarking on a major effort to expand its eco
nomic and political ties with Burma. As a.result of Chou
En-lai's trip to Rangoon, where the instruments of ratifica-
tion of the border treaty were exchanged, Peiping has agreed
to extend. large-scale economic aid to Burma. A.joint com-
munique issued on 9 January announced an economic and
technical. cooperation agreement under which the Chinese
will provide an interest-free credit of about $85,000,000--
the largest amount ever granted by Peiping to a non-bloc

specified industrial projects in Burma. The new aid Pact) as

trade--a goal the Chinese have been seeking for some time.

oo or-age Stirring Up Discontent in Communist China
[Discontent strong enough to take the form of antiregime
manifestations -is reported in Communist China. The 'prin-
cipal cause is the effect of protracted food shortages--now
going into their third year. "Bad" living conditions and grow-
ing discontent were reported. in late November on Hainan Is-
land. Anti-Communist slogans were painted on the walls of
official, buildings in Paso, . one of the island's port cities,
25X1
stevedores there could no longer carry heavy loads because
of undernourishment;
[A- similar report has been received: from Dairen, where
signs believed, to have read "More Food" and "Down with Com-
munism" were being erased from public buildings in mid-De-
cember, F_ I 25X1
food riots occurred last month in Harbin
and that 70 persons were arrested, and summarily executed.
There is considerable dissatisfaction among civilians in Dairen
over the army's favored treatment3
While the regime's controls appear more than adequate to
cope with the present scale of popular dissatisfaction, the near-
famine conditions may have resulted in organizational changes
in at least one and perhaps two provinces. According to the
Peiping press, the north coastal province of Shantung was the
hardest hit in last summer's drought. People's Daily announced
on 8 December that four neighboring provinces were organiz-
ing a major relief campaign to.assist the people of Shantung.
Two weeks earlier the local press noted the ouster of the Shan-
tung first party secretary, Shu Tung. His replacement de-
clared that 'fa=ll cadres should overcome the high and mighty
bureaucratism and habit of excusing themselves by pleading
special circumstances." The American Consulate General in
Hong Kong reports that there is also some evidence of a shake-
up in the Kw gngtung party provincial committee. The number
of refugees fleeing Kwangtung into Hong Kong because of the
food shortage is increasing despite stringent border control
