Succession battle
shapes in China
By EDWARD NEILAN
Copley News Service
WASHINGTON — The days
are dwindling down to a pre
cious few for China’s Mao
Tse-tung and Chou En-lai.
These two men, their
names synonymous with the
Chinese Communist revolu
tion since the 19305, are both
in ill health. According to in
telligence reports and com
ments from recent visitors,
Mao’s health is failing sharp
ly and he can barely talk. He
will be 82 the day after
Christmas.
Premier Chou, 76, has been
hospitalized for months with
what is described as a heart
condition. Recent visitors
have quoted him as saying he
will never leave the hospital.
China does not release offi
cial medical reports on its
leaders but there are other
signs that the inevitable suc
cession struggle that will ac
company the passing of the
“Big Two” is under way.
Chinese confirmation of
factory unrest in Chekiang
province and the necessity of
sending troops to replace dis
sident workers there is one
indication. Another is the
step-up in propaganda from
the Soviet Union that “true
Communists” everywhere
should band together to
“smash Maoism.”
A 15,000-word analysis of
China today in the Soviet
party central committee's bi
monthly journal Kommunist
recently was the strongest at
tack on China’s leadership
yet, both in length and blunt
ness. It is expected that Mos
cow will try to capitalize on
any uncertainty in the upper
echelons of the Chinese
leadership during a power
transition.
Another indication that the
leadership day of reckoning
is at hand is the continuing
reinstatement of high-rank
ing officials who were purged
during the cultural revolu
tion, a campaign closely
identified with Mao. The
latest of these officials to be
“rehabilitated” is Wang
Ping-nan, 69, a former deputy
foreign minister. He has been
named president of the
People’s Association for
Friendship with Foreign
Countries, the adjunct to the
Foreign Ministry which han
dles visits of nonofficial
guests to China and which is
charged with “promotion of

foreign policy.”
Wang, a former ambassa
dor to Poland, lost his For
eign Ministry post in 1967
when he was called a “traitor
to the revolution.”
Teng Hsiao-ping, presently
the deputy premier and
China’s day-to-day manager
since Chou was hospitalized,
is likewise a once-purged offi
cial who has made a come
back.
China insists that its suc
cession problems have been
solved and insists there will
be no struggle when Mao and
Chou are gone.
Observers of Chinese
politics are beginning to be
lieve that Peking sees the
scheduled late November
visit to China of President
Ford as essential to ' the
image of continued internal
tranquillity in their country.
China had asked for the visit
in October but it was resched
uled to accommodate a de
layed visit to the United
States by Soviet party leader
leorud Brezhnev. Both Wash
ington and Peking appear to
believe that Mr. Ford’s visit
to China is necessary to
balance the Brezhnev visit.
