Chinas political pressure on the Thai Government should be moderated to permit the Thais to evolve their own policy of balancing relations between Vietnam and China. Thailand need not be pressured Into carrying out Chinas support for Pol Pot. Thailand should reconsider whether it is in its best interest to serve as an arms and supply conduit for Pol Pots forces In Cambodia. Humanitarian relief to the refugees in Thai camps should be stepped up pending a political solution to Cambodias future. These are the essential elements of a new positive diplomatic role for the United States. It involves a reconsideration of our policy toward China and toward Vietnam.
