Communist China: A step--up in the tempo and
intensity of attacks on Chief of State Liu Shao-chi and
party general secretary Teng Hsiao-ping strongly
suggests that the stage is finally being set for their
disgrace and removal.
Numerous rallies and demonstrations reportedly
have been held in Peking since mid-December to de-
nounce the two. Madame Mao is reported to` have
told a crowd of Red Guards on 30 December that Liu
is a "Khrushchev-like person" and that a confession
he made in October was inadequate and therefore not
acceptable to current leaders. According to a Red
Guard poster seen by a foreign correspondent on
31 December, a pamphlet entitled "Vice Chairman
Lin Piao's Statement on the Bourgeois Reactionary
Line of State Chairman Liu Shao-chi and General
Secretary Teng Hsiao-ping" will be distributed among
Red Guards as a textbook.
Liu and Teng came under strong criticism at the
party plenum in August, when Lin Piao replaced Liu
as Mao's heir apparent, and demands for their dis-
missal have been presented in Red Guard posters from
time to time since then. Although their political power
was severely weakened, they appeared routinely at
large turnouts of leaders at least through November and
have retained their titles.
