Add to this our emotional and moral revulsion for mass executions on the mainland. the reprehensible brainwashings. the excesses of revolutionadd further the fact that a number of U.S. citizens have been held imprisoned in Chinathe net result of this affront to our moral sense and our prestige has been a China policy of absolute containment plus pressure. The policy calls for not recognizing the ex.istence of the regime. for sealing off the regime and the 600 million people. of -China. for a ring of military defenses surrounding China. for an absolute trade embargo. and for a boycott on all travel and exchanges. The psychological warfare aspects of present policy call for -measures not only to deter any aggression but to pose a threat of implied eventual liberation by a refugee government on an island 100 miles from the -mainland. The presumed objective of -this policy of containment. insulation -and psychological compression is to serve the national interests of the United States. My purpose is not to contend that these extremes of policy should be replaced by the opposite extremes.
