USSR-CHINA: Status of the Talks
The Soviets and the Chinese are sparring again, but they are
Rumors are circulating in the Chinese capital that
the first round of talks has ended. A foreign diplomat
says that the discussions are in recess but will resume
in Beijing. According to a Western press report, a So-
viet source has said Moscow intends to keep its team in
avoiaing actions that might scuttle their talks in Beijing.
Soviet media, meanwhile, have for the first time
disclosed to domestic audiences that the talks are under
way. On Wednesday Pravda cited comments on the talks
made last Sunday by Chinese party chief Hu Yaobang in an
interview with French journalists, Hu expressed hope
for a gradual normalization of relations and condemned
Moscow's "hegemonist policy," a statement characterized
by Pravda as an "unfriendly attack" on the USSR's foreign
Beijing "indefinitely."
Moscow also is again criticizing China's policy
toward Vietnam. Soviet newspapers have carried new
reports of Chinese violations of Vietnamese territory.
Comment: There is no indication that any progress
has been made thus far, but neither side has shown signs
of disappointment with the talks. Soviet press charges
of Chinese pressure on Vietnam underscore the USSR's
meeting Beijing's demands on the key issues.
The Chinese have reiterated that any improvement
in relations will depend on how far the Soviets go toward
continuing support for Hanoi.
The USSR is continuing to send positive signals to
China. For example, the anniversary slogans for the

peoples to struggle against "imperialism" and "neocolo-

KAMPUCHEA: Diplomatic Maneuvering
The UN General Assembly early next week will con-
sider the Kampuchean credentials issue and an ASEAN 25X1
resolution calling for the withdrawal of foreign troops
from Kampuchea.
Comment: More votes in favor of ASEAN's position
are likely now than there were in 1981, in part because
Prince Sihanouk heads the newly formed Kampuchean coali-
tion. ASEAN hopes to exploit a strong UN showing to
secure some kind of recognition of the coalition by the
Nonaligned Movement. The Movement is to meet in New 25X1
Delhi next March, and ASEAN is urging that Sihanouk--as
a founder of the Movement--be invited to address the
meeting.
