The President explicitly recognized this threat with his emergency request for $200 million in aid to Cambodia at the same time that he sought assistance for Israel. In the international diplomatic community the Chinese Communists have led an attempt to replace the Khmer Government in the United Nations with deposed Prince Norodorm Sihanouk. In other activities. the Communist Chinese have encouraged the Arabs to continue fighting in the Mideast and abstained from all major ceasefire proposals in the United Nations. have seized the Paracel Islands from the Vietnamese. have driven over 50.000 refugees fleeing into Hong Kong this year. and have quietly built their Navy up to the fourth largest in the world while maintaining the biggest standing army.

Only in the past several weeks we have also witnessed a resurgence of ideological fanaticism within mainland China. Western music. loudly applauded only a few months ago. is now being subjected to the bitterest of derisive scorn.
