Abstract

China is supplying United States news distributors with a neverending stream of lively items. This week it is the United States students who defied Washington's feeble mandate and took a trans- Siberian express for a look into the forbidden land. Last week it was United States news-gatherers, all dressed up and raring to go, who sat cooling their heels in Britain's Crown Colony of Hong Kong while Washington helped Peking make worldwide headlines. This week, last week, next week, China is, was, and will be in the news.
