1 Behind the Silkfen Curtain Unseen Kremlin Hand Guides China, Junior Red Partner By M. Siva ram North Amor icon Newspaper Alliance BOMBAY. May 15.—Mao Tse tung's China has cast its lot with Soviet Russia and It is the unseen hand of the Kremlin that guides the Peiping government. The consolidation bf the Chi nese Communist government has Third of five article* recounting a newsman's "nightmare" in Peiping,’ where the writer, educated in England and regarded a* an authority an the Far East after 20 years of newspaper work there, recently spent two months. been exclusively of the Soviet pat tern. Peiping’s foreign policy and defense program are irrevocably linked with those of Moscow. Red China’s military intervention in Korea and expansionist plans in Southeast Asia form part of Com munism’s global strategy. I discussed this Sino-Soviet link up with Communist officials, non partisan Chinese and members of Peiping’s diplomatic colony.’ The consensus was that the new China is something between a satellite of Russia and a junior partner in the Kremlin-led struggle for Commu nist domination on a global scale. And the Russians have made it certain that Mao* does not turn Tito. Sinr Russian Praises. Everywhere you turn, anywhere In China, you are impressed by the extent of Soviet influence in every field of governmental activity. The police system and the con trol of foreigner? remind you of the OGPU (Soviet secret police).' The press and propaganda organ ization and the stringent control of public thought and speech are unmistakably of the Soviet pat tern. Russian has become the most-favored foreign language in Communist China. Chinese Communist leaders sing the praise of the Soviet Union, openly worship Josef Stalin as “jagad-guru” (world teacher) and urge their countrymen to follow suit. Stalin’s photographs are found even at small district police stations. Adoration of Soviet Russia has become the pre-eminent national institution of the New China. The people are persuaded to believe that Russia’s friends are China’s friends, that Russia’s enemies are China’s enemies, that by fighting for Russia, China is lighting for her own existence. Number of Advisers Secret. Just how many Soviet advisers are employed by the people’s gov ernment of China is one of the most closely guarded secrets of the Communist regime. But it is well known that Russian advisers and experts, by the thousands, have been forced on the Chinese government in almost every minis try and department, especially the defense services. In Peiping alone, according to a reliable authority, there are at least 3,000 Soviet ad visers employed by the China gov ernment. The Chinese navy and air force alone, according to un official estimates, employ about 10 thousand Soviet instructors and technicians. Chinese people look aghast at the big brood of “da bietze” (big noses) as they move about in limousines, enjoying a life of lux ury amid the poverty and reduced standards of living that the “lib eration” has brought for them selves. Near Peiping’s Temple of Heaven one day. I drew the at tention of Chang, my jinrikiman, to a large group of Russians. Chang took one look at them and spat on the ground—an eloquent commentary on the common man’s regard for the new allies. Rest of World Enemies. The strategy of the Soviet “in vasion” of China is twofold—the alienation of China from the rest of the world, especially the non Soviet power bloc and the con solidation of Soviet power and in fluence in the country through persuasion, pressure and promises It was Soviet influence and ad vice that prompted the Chinese Communist government to occupy the American military barracks in Peiping and to precipitate a break with the United States. It is Soviet advice and influence that has taught the Chinese gov ernment to distrust its friends in the neutral camp, including the fiee nations of Asia. The in fluence of the Kremlin is so ef fective that official China has! today come to consider the U. S. S. R. and her satellites as China’s only friends and the rest of the world as enemies or poten tial enemies of the Chinese Re public. Soviet pressure and persuasion seem to have convinced the Chinese Communist leaders that the United States and other "Im perialist powers” are bent on des troying the new regime and that they must fight these powers for their own survival. In Korea and Tibet, the Chinese leaders have apparently swallowed the Soviet bait: they may follow suit in Indo-China later. Defending Homeland. In Korea, the Soviet argument which presumably forced the Chi ijese military intervention, was simple. The Japanese first took Korea and then marched into Manchuria and later invaded China. The United States is bound to follow the same pattern of conquest and must, be stopped in Korea for the safety and sur vival of China. Chinese official statements, out lining the policy on Korea, have often stressed that the Chinese forces fighting in Korea are really defending the Chinese homeland. In Tibet, again, Chinese mili tary intervention was understood to have been inspired by Soviet Russia. The Soviet argument in this case was that an American inspired conspiracy was afoot for the control of Tibet by "imperial ist” forces, with a view to attack ing China from the rear and that China must act in time to foil the "imperialist plot.” The Chinese people look aghast at these fateful developments and wonder what the next will be. Silent and helpless, they watch China “ride the tiger” (in this case, the Soviet bear) and whis per to themselves, 'in fear and anxiety: "Whither China IN NEW YORK...
